Service Accounts on SQL Server

Check Description

This check determines whether the SQL service accounts are members of the local or Domain Administrators group on the scanned computer, or whether any SQL service accounts are running under the LocalSystem context.

The MSSQLServer and SQLServerAgent service accounts are checked on the scanned computer.

Note: If you receive the "No permissions to access database" error message, you might not have permissions to the MASTER database.
