    Hi Ali_G,

    This is the technote with steps we have at present:

    https://www.veritas.com/support/en_US/article.000086539

    I've seen a few customers disable services on non-LH servers and it's been functional, it does add some additional lines of logging where it fails to start services but it appears to work OK.

    The technote above doesn't mention all of the services that you've listed, I don't see why it'd cause a problem to disable them, but before deleting it's worth testing this to ensure no unexpected issues.

    Changing accounts shouldn't be an an issue either, many customers are using domain accounts and other local accounts they've created - as long as they have the necessary access required on the accounts this shouldn't be an issue. The requirements for the accounts are listed in the installation guide.
