Guys,
Is there any ways to use TSQL to get the startup account of SQL? Does it store this info in any registry entries or maybe some windows function to get this out? Using script that is.
Thanks

Its the sql server service account, I think i know how to find the agent service account (ie through sysprocesses, is there a better way?)

To add to that, I did a profiler trace trying to get it, but doesn't seems like EM do anything to get the data, it needs to get the AuditLevel & LoginMode from the registry, but not the service startup account. Any ideas?
