sqlagent service doesn''t running under a domain account

  • Hi,

    I have a SQL Server 2000 Enterpr. Edition (SP3) running on Windows 2000 Server (SP4). The sqlserver service is running under a domain account, sqlagent service is running under a local system account. The domain account is also present as a login in sql server and has system

    administrator server role. Problems:

    - Whenever I try to use the same domain account for sqlagent, it does

    not start the agent service at all and unfortunately I have to go back

    to local system account.

    - I change the accounts in EM

    - Some of our jobs don't work if sqlagent runs under a local system account

    - If I start sqlagent in Windows cli under the same domain account the agent runs but not as a service

  • Don't change the account in EM.  Go to the Computer Management MMC and stop/change/start it there.  Are there any errors in the Event Log?

  • Yes, I try it in MMC too, but the result is the same. The error is: Could not start Service...

  • can you post the sqlagent.out file ?

    All our sqlagent's are served using a windows account.

  • sqlagent.out file is empty, there are only entries when the agent starts, but it doesn't start!

    We have about 40 SQL servers, most of them run using a windows account with no problem.

    But we think we have to look for the problem in windows, because we found another service, which doesn't start.
