Hi All,

SQL 2005 SP3

I have an issue concerning the server security, I do not need any windows
authentication (I know that is not recommended).
Anyhow, SQL server agent does not run any jobs that defined on that server
coz I deleted all associated windows users.
In older version (2000), I always delete windows users, only sql users
exists. and configure the sql agent to run by "sa" in the connection tab in
SQL Server Agent.
which is disabled in SQL 2005.

I need to enable SQL authentication for SQL agent property, and delete
windows users.

Can you help me on this....

SQL Agent runs as a Windows service, which knows nothing about SQL
authentication.  What Windows account is the SQL Server service running as?

Well that's not exactly best practice either.  Can you explain why SQL Agent
can't run under the "NT Authority\Network service"?

You can't, per SQL2005 documentation:
ms-help://MS.SQLCC.v9/MS.SQLSVR.v9.en/udb9/html/8f5017df-29b3-4164-a02b-ac8e8785040d.htm

"In SQL Server 2005, SQL Server Agent does not support SQL Server
Authentication. This option is available only when you administer an earlier
version of SQL Server."
