I had to deploy a couple MS SQL clusters years ago, I'm fuzzy on the details but for whatever reason we needed a domain admin to enable clustering and instead of following the permissions on the KB they gave up just made the service account a domain admin.

To this day I'll never understand why a vendor would choose MS SQL or Oracle if they don't have a very specific function that they need.

Yep. Postgres is fantastic and there's no justification to use proprietary bullshit like that.
