The credentials you provided for the SQL Server Agent service are invalid

  • Hi,

    I'm receiving the following error while running through the install

    [Error Message]

    The credentials you provided for the SQL Server Agent service are invalid. To continue, provide a valid account and password for the SQL Server Agent service.

    [Details]

    Microsoft.SqlServer.Configuration.Agent.InputValidationException: The credentials you provided for the SQL Server Agent service are invalid. To continue, provide a valid account and password for the SQL Server Agent service.

    I can log in as the domain account I am attempting to use as the service account.

    The account is a local admin.

    The account has been granted log on as service permissions in AD and Local security policies

    DNS is working...

  • Hi,

    I had this same problem when installing. I ended up using a different local admin account (that was not a service account) with permissions during the install, then changing to the service account in Configuration Manager after the install was complete - and it then accepted the domain service account with no problems after that!

    Jinx.

  • For me this was an incorrectly configured AD OU

  • Hey - Jon, how did you verified that was problem with the object ?

  • I actually didn't the systems admins / AD admins came back with an "oops sorry about that".
