"Access Denied" when trying to change service accounts using Configuration Manager

Question

SQL 2005 cluster. I am trying to change the Service Accounts for the SQL services. Logged in to the active node with an account that is part of the local admin group. When I try to change the account/password for any of the services, using Configuration Manager, I get an "Access is denied" message box.

Answer 1

Try opening the SQL configuration manager with the run as administrator option.
