we have installed a new sharepoint enterprise server 2013. and now i want to run the "Configuration Wizards" from "Central Administration >> Configuration wizards":-
now on the first step i am asked to select the service account as follow:-
so i am not sure about these 3 points:-
- why on the service account drop down list i got only one user, while inside my farm administration group i have three users, as follow:-
i thought i will get these 3 accounts inside the Service Account drop down list to select from inside the Configuration Wizards.
now as mentioned on the message under the Service Account, that i should use a service account that is different from the farm admin account. so i am not sure what does farm admin account mean ? and how i can define it ?, so i can make sure that the service account i will be using inside the Configuration Wizards is different from my Farm admin account ?
third question. now at this stage i check the content databases, and seems currently i do not have any content database. so will the content database be created automatically when i run the Configuration Wizards ?
Can anyone advice on the above 3 questions please?
Thanks

In the drop down you will see only those accounts which are registered in the managed accounts. By default after fresh installation only farm admin( account you use during psconfig wizard to create config db) will be there as it is regulated in managed account.
Now if you want different service account then the farm admin account then select the create new option and enter the service account name and password then select the services you want to configure.
It is recommend don't provision the regular service application I.e search upa etc as wizard will create the database with guid in it. Only provision the state service from then rest via powershell or use central admin option
