Hi,
I have a SQL 2016 running on my Windows 2016 Server (joined to domain). I have installed SQL with all the default settings previously.
Now the IT Security is asking me to change the service account to a Local User Account. I have created an user account named 'svc-sql' (not assigned to Administrators group). Following the article 'https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/database-engine/configure-windows/configure-windows-service-accounts-and-permissions?view=sql-server-2016#Windows', I have added the 'svc-sql' account to 'Log on as a service', 'Replace a process-level token', 'Bypass traverse checking' and 'Adjust memory quotas for a process' via Local Security Policy. I do not have any GPO applied on this server.
After which, I launched the SQL Server Configuration Manager and I attempted to change the 'Log On As' from Local System account to svc-sql account for SQL Server (MSSQLServer) but in vain. Error encountered " The request failed or the service
did not respond in a timely fashion." On Eventviewer, Event ID 7000 was logged.
Any advice on what have I missed out? Thank you in advance.
