Change service credentials SQL Clone Agent

jstrate

We need to change the credentials for a SQL Clone Agent. I've looked for a way to do this outside of services but can't find any other place to do so. Unfortunately, when we do this the agent gets disconnected and will not reconnect.

Is an uninstall/reinstall required to update Agent credentials?

Hi jstrate,

I've looked for a way to do this outside of services but can't find any other place to do so.

We don't have a way to change the credentials of a SQL Clone Agent service inside the product itself. Services section on Windows would be the best place to do this.

Unfortunately, when we do this the agent gets disconnected and will not reconnect.

This could happen if the new log on credentials given to the SQL Clone Agent service doesn't have Local admin privileges. Please check "SQL Clone Agent requirements" section inside our docs to make sure that the log on user has the necessary permissions.
