[!INCLUDEssNoVersion] Agent only supports Windows Authentication when the [!INCLUDEssNoVersion] Agent service connects to an instance of [!INCLUDEssNoVersion].
[!INCLUDEssNoVersion] Agent
In [!INCLUDEssNoVersion], the [!INCLUDEssNoVersion] Agent service can only log on to the database using Windows Authentication. This means that the [!INCLUDEssNoVersion] Agent service account must be a [!INCLUDEssNoVersion] user.
For more information, see the topics "Security for Automatic Administration" and "Implementing [!INCLUDEssNoVersion] Agent Security" in [!INCLUDEssNoVersion] Books Online.
