Hello Doug and PuruCuhuco,

The error you get is because of the wrong typing of the name of Local System
account. You should revise it like "NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM" instead of "NT
AUTHORITY\LOCAL SYSTEM".

Also, it will ask you to specify a System Administrator, so you may want to
use the following switch to perform this fulfillment.

/SQLSYSADMINACCOUNTS="Builtin\Administrators"

So, you can use the following command line:
Setup /q /ACTION=Install /FEATURES=SQL /INSTANCENAME=TEST2008
/SECURITYMODE="SQL" /SQLSVCACCOUNT="NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM" /SAPWD="sensor"
/SQLSYSADMINACCOUNTS="BUILTIN\ADMINISTRATORS"

You can learn more information about installing SQL Server from Command
Prompt from the following link of Books Online:
