In my Production server, both "System account" and "This account" are gray and not accessible in:

  • SQL Server Agent properties / General / Service startup account

  • SQL Service Properties (Configure) / Security / Startup Service account


How it is possible and how can I set my new server like that one?

Note: I have compared MSSQLSERVER and SQLSERVERAGENT in Windows services on both computers and they are the same.

It doesn't sound like you have administrative permissions to make this change since they are grayed out.

Are you seeing this in Services applet in Admin tools in Control Panel? Double click on services, log on tab?

have you logged on to the server using an admin account?
