    In past versions of SQL Server, the SQL Server Agent service account needed Windows Administrator rights on the local computer in order to successfully restart the service when it stops unexpectedly (because the SQL Server Service would have to be restarted first). Is that still true in SQL Server 2008? 2012?

    Thanks.
