I'm not doing the whole AD "thang", so it's all good, just a standard DNS
thanks for the help :)

Yes. It will set up a named account for you and it will use that for access
so make sure your permissions are set up to allow access to the named
directories. You may need to do additional work if you are running this as a
domain controller and need to create the account in active directory since
the installer doesn't know anything about that.
