Trying to change the sql server agent to run as a non-admin user, I couldn’t get Sql Server Agent to work without giving it administrator privileges. I got:
---------------------------
WMI Provider Error
---------------------------
Access is denied. [0x80070005]
---------------------------
OK
---------------------------
You have to grant two privileges - both the Agent User and the MSSQL user.
- SQLServerSQLAgentUser$bigserver$inst01
- SQLServerMSSQLUser$bigserver$inst01
