In one of our servers, SQL Server service though set to manual and its dependant services are stopped, still it starts automatically if we stop the SQL Server service.
Is there a utility or way to find out who or which service is starting SQL Server Service?
I'm looking for a Microsoft Document or Article or Whitepaper on What OS level permissions are needed for SQL DBA (not SQL Service Account). There is a general assumption that SQL DBA's need Local Administrator Privilege but AFAIK it's needed only during SQL Install.
Any pointers to such document(s) will be appreciated.
