I am looking into some backup issues on an old Sql 2000 server and I've narrowed it down to the fact that the Sql Agent account was changed. The big question that I have is whether or not I can tell when this was changed and by whom it was changed? Thanks! | |||

The Windows NT logs are the primary place to find when the account was first used - the eventlog comes with a find/filter option. However, it may have rolled depending on the configuration. Check the SQL logs too - if the last restart was some time ago, it might give you a clue as to when. If SQL Server is running under a domain account, it would be worth checking AD - many organisations put reference numbers against new accounts etc. Also have a trawl of any incident/request management system you might have. | |||

Event Logs can help (specifically the Security log) but only if audit policy for Account management has been set by the administrator. | |||
