I changed my server's service account to Domain\sqladmin and the service started successfully.

I did the same for SQL Agent but the service starts and stops. In Event Viewer saw this error:

SQLServerAgent could not be started (reason: SQLServerAgent must be able to connect to SQLServer as SysAdmin, but '(Unknown)' is not a member of the SysAdmin role).

I checked Logins under under security in SSMS and the Domain\sqladmin is a member of SysAdmin roles. What's wrong?

Looks like with my error its at a network manager problem. Looks like they have denied access to the login.

I didn't reboot the server but changed both SQL Server and SQL Agent service IDs to Domain\sqladmin. This morning another DBA tried and it started without any problem! I don't know why it didn't started on Friday.
