Unable To Change SQL Service To Use Domain Account

  • I should have just set the account during install... I didn't, however, and now I am trying to simply change my SQL Service Account to use a domain account within the SQL Server Configuration Manager. When clicking OK I get a WMI error. I tried to manually set everything up, Account access at server, DB, roles, and set the account in services.msc...however, that doesn't work either.

    I found this hit on the Internet (one hit of MANY for this error). Based on my errors this seemed the likely fix:

    But, alas, it is not.

    Hopefully someone out there has seen this.

  • I seem to remember that you need to change the acount from the SQL Server Configuration Manager. I think it was related to the Server Master Key not being able to be decrypted..

    CEWII

  • Can't change it from SQL Server Configuration Manager. When I try I get: Cannot find object or property [0x80092004]

  • I even tried reinstalling SQL and specifying the domain accounts during setup...the install then failed. Reinstalled with defaults and tried it pre SP1...same problem.

    I'm really thinking it's SSL...just not sure why. Here is a consistent error when changed to a domain account:

    "Unable to initialize SSL encryption because a valid certificate could not be found, and it is not possible to create a self-signed certificate."

    I've found lots of links outlining my issue that advise how to turn off forced encryption - which i've done. For some reason it keeps trying to do something with SSL. I found another tidbit on the Internet stating that the message, "A self-generated certificate was successfully loaded for encryption.", occurs when a system is in Mixed Authentication Mode - that some best effort security measure is put in place for SQL auth.

    So, it sounds as if a certificate is self-generated by virtue of being in Mixed Mode and that self generation cannot occurr for domain accounts - thereby blowing up and giving me decryption errors right before the service fails to start.

    That doesn't sound right, does it?

    Is there anyone out there with SQL Server 2008 64 bit running in Mixed Mode with a domain account running the SQL Server Service? Did you have problems?

    Please note that I am able to use the account for the SQL Agent.

    Also, note that I have turned off forced encrypton at the propery level of network protocols for my sql instance. This had no effect.

    Anyone know of anything else that can be done to disable this SSL attempt???

    This is a brand new server. No SSL has ever touched it.

    Thanks
