    I have changed sa but really what is stopping the person from going to AD, changing my password, then logging into SQL, change 'sa' then do damage

    Nothing, but that leaves evidence - the fact that you can't log in cause your password has changed

    Also, nothing stops them restarting SQL in single user mode, which gives local admin sysadmin rights

    Nothing stops them from shutting down SQL and deletng or corrupting data files.

    You can make things more difficult, but you cannot prevent them. There's no real way to protect a system against an administrator.
