    Setting SQL Server Agent Account without being part of a domain

    I am running SS 2000 and am trying to set up the SS Agent account. The
    machine that the db server runs on is not setup to be part of a
    domain. How can I do this?

    TIA!

    Re: Setting SQL Server Agent Account without being part of a domain

    By default, the agent runs under the system account (service startup account
    section on the General tab). If you want you can substitute a local machine
    account by clicking the "This account" radio button and supplying the
    credentials there. It doesn't have to be a domain account. You might also
    want to add the same local machine account as an SS2000 user.
