NT Service\MSSQL$DEV

  • 772

I have these services running I was supposed to change only the SQL Server Agent service but by mistake changed couple of SQL SERVER STORAGE PROCESSING SERVICES which was using

NT Service\MSSQL$DEV account. If I had to put it back how would I do it, as this is not a local service account correct? I do not see anything as NT Service locally on the server.

How can I put back the same NT Service account or chose the account so that the password gets filled automatically?

  1. Assuming MSSQL$DEV is the service name (not the service display name) then that's a virtual account.

    From the Service Accounts Step-by-Step Guide:

    To configure a service to use a virtual account

    • Click Start, point to Administrative Tools, and then click Services.

    • In the details pane, right-click the service that you want to configure, and then click Properties.

    • Click the Log On tab, click This account, and then type NT SERVICE\ServiceName. When you are finished, click OK.

    • Restart the service for the change to take effect.
