I recently change the account that sql server runs under.
Now I reinstalled the MS Outlook for the new account and
configured the exchange server and mail box. Then I went
to SQL Server and Support Servers then to SQL Mail and the
properties of that. The name of the mail client comes us
I test it and it says stoped and restarted the mail
successfully. Next I go to Management and then properties
of the SQL Server Agent. When the properties come up I
the Mail Profile is grayed out. I have tried faulting the
cluster and taking SQL Server and SQL Server Agent offline
and then brining back online, but the Mail Profile is
still grayed out. The only thing I have not tried to to
Restart both nodes. Has anyone had this problem or any
suggestions on how to fix this? We have change the
service account on other servers that are not clusters and
have had no problems. Thanks

Hi Ash,

Need not have reinstalled the MS Outlook because the software was already
there. Just have to have configured the profile(s) for the new account.

Please check if the profile you have for the SQL Server Account exists in
the control panel -> mail when you log into the server using that account on
both the nodes. Start Outlook once on both the nodes and see if there was a
welcome email there. Then check for this profile to be configured in the SQL
Server properties. Then move group to the other node twice on the cluster
administrator so that you get the SQL Server on the right node.

Everything should be fine.
