Log on problem

Why I can't make change account from Log on tab in properties MSSQLSERVER
service?
Regardless of account, I gett this error: "Could not start the MSSQLSERVER
service on Local Computer.
Error 1096: The service did not start to a logon failure."
SQL Server does work only with Local system account?!
Thanks
(MS SQLserver 2000 , WinXP SP2)You should never change the account directly thru the service. You need to
use Enterprise Manager instead as it sets other rights and properties that
the service panel does not.

Just curious - which right is it that's being applied though EM and not
in the services panel?
I normally handle all changes to services from the services panel and I
don't recall that I've ever had problems with that.

Steen|||It depends upon the permissions configured for the new account. For instance
if you use the service panel to change a SQL Server service to run using
some administrator account, you probably won't have a problem. But if you
use the service panel to change a SQL Server service to to run under a low
priveledged user, then SQL Server might not be able to access sqlservr.exe
on the file system (and a bunch of other stuff). But if you use the SQL
Server tools, the tools will check to make sure the new account has adequate
access.
