I can't Install SQL Server 2008 Express on Server 2012 Essentials

Commandline:

/q /ACTION=Install /FEATURES=SQL /INSTANCENAME=SQLEXPRESS2008 /INSTANCEID=SQLExpress2008 /SQLSVCACCOUNT="NT AUTHORITY\Network Service" /AGTSVCACCOUNT="NT AUTHORITY\LOCAL SERVICE" /SQLSYSADMINACCOUNTS="BUILTIN\ADMINISTRATORS"

I get an exception:

Overall summary: Final result: SQL Server installation failed. To continue, investigate the reason for the failure, correct the problem, uninstall SQL Server, and then rerun SQL Server Setup. Exit code (Decimal): -2068578304 Exit facility code: 1204 Exit error code: 0 Exit message: Network Service or Local Service account is not permitted for the SQL Server service on a domain contoller. Specify a different account. Start time: 2012-09-17 15:55:44 End time: 2012-09-17 15:55:56 Requested action: Install

Which account should I use?

    `Network Service or Local Service account is not permitted for the SQL Server service on a domain contoller. Specify a different account` It's a pity they don't provide clear error messages – billinkc Sep 26 '14 at 21:46

you should assign it an account from Active Directory. We typically create DBSERVERNAME_SQL or something similiar for this service account. Because it sounds like you're on a domain controller, I don't think that you'll have a choice but to create an active directory account.
