Changing SQL Server Agent startup account info

  • I am trying to change the startup account information for SQL Server and SQL Server Agent but I keep getting the error when trying to change "this account" to a local user account: "Logon failure: the user has not been granted the requested logon type at this computer."

    Here is what I am trying to set in "THIS ACCOUNT" of the Security tab of the properties window.

    .\myUser

    password

    My user account has admin privileges, but my machine running the SQL Services is on a workgroup instead of a domain. Could that be causing the problem? Does SQL Server 2000 support workgroups the same way it supports domains?

    I tried changing these startup accounts on different machines that were in a domain, and it worked fine.

    Somebody please help!

  • Dis you check that your account has the "logon as a service" permissions?

  • The user account is listed under "logon as service".
