Changing the Agent service account.

  • Hello,

    I would like to change my SQL agent (SQL 2k SP4) from local system to a domain user account, but after I entered the credentials in EM, I get a message telling me that EM does not have sufficient priviliages to veryify the account. I've done this lots of times in the past and not had this. I'm I missing something? The server is not replicating anything either.

    Hope someone can help.

    Regards,

    D.

  • Hello, thanks for getting back.

    Its a bog standard domain account that has 'log on as a service' right on the local machine. I was under the impression that changing the account in EM meant the account was automatically given the required permissions, like SQL 2005 configuration manager does.

    Cheers,

    D.
