SQLServer 2008 Fails to start under NT AUTHORITY/NETWORK SERVICE account
- by braincells2pixels
Not sure what changed but looks like my security credentials have been monkeyed with. Since yesterday evening after I disconnected from our corporate network and rebooted my laptop at home, I am unable to start the instance of SQL2K8. The service is set to run under NT AUTHORITY\NETWORK SERVICE account. The event log records an Access Denied error on the Master.mdf.
Switching the account to Local System starts the service but our application runs into security errors.
Any clues?
TIA
