    Question SQLDebugger Account created by SP3 ???

    Does anyone knows what this account does? I heard that it is used by Visual Studio and Query Analyser. However, I couldn't find much documentation about it. This account has a random password which is generated by the Server. The password cannot be changed and will never expire.

    Thanks...byyu

    Well, our security area considered this account dangerous. I believed they are going to either disable this account or to change the password/expiration policy etc for this account. Does any one know what effects will create on SQL Server? I know that Query Analyzer will use it for T-SQL debugger. Does any one know what others SQL utilities will be using this account so that I can advise our security area not to touch this "SQLDebugger"?

    Thanks...byyu

    Why bother since you can't logon to system with that account.

    I asked myself the same question too. But we were warned about the consequences of not taking any action about this account.

    I guess life is tough for DBAs.

    Thanks...byyu
