Home Forums SQL Server 2005 Administering starting db instance under a non-Administrator Account RE: starting db instance under a non-Administrator Account

    Make sure that the account has full control over the directories that have your data and log files in, and also the directories that the backups go.

    this shouldnt actually be necessary as changing the account via sql config manager will assign the user to the appropriate sql server groups on the machine, these should already have the required permissions on the folders
