The install account needs local admin rights, farm does not. install account needs dbcreator and secadmin rights with SQL, the farm account may or may not have these (although most configuration will, in a locked down environment they can be removed after the farm is deployed). Believe me, if you are in a security focused organization you can get a pretty big delta between the two very quickly. | |
