StartupAccount Property

This feature will be removed in a future version of Microsoft SQL Server. Avoid using this feature in new development work, and plan to modify applications that currently use this feature.

The StartupAccount property returns the name of the Microsoft Windows security account used by SQL Server Agent for network access authentication.
