 SQL Server Configuration Manager is installed automatically with your SQL Server installation. It's a Microsoft Management Console (MMC) snap-in that can be accessed from the Start menu or added to any other MMC display. The MMC uses the SQLServerManager<version>.msc file (for example, SQLServerManager16.msc for SQL Server 2022) to open SQL Server Configuration Manager.

In addition to changing the account name, the SQL Server Configuration Manager performs additional configurations, such as setting permissions in the Windows Registry so that the new account can read the [!INCLUDE [ssNoVersion](../includes/ssnoversion-md.md)] settings. Other tools, such as the Windows Services Control Manager, can change the account name but don't change associated settings. If the service can't access the [!INCLUDE [ssNoVersion](../includes/ssnoversion-md.md)] portion of the registry, the service might not start properly.
 
 As an extra benefit, passwords changed using SQL Server Configuration Manager, SQL Server Management Objects (SMO), or WMI take effect immediately without restarting the service.

 The SQL Server Configuration Manager also allows you to view information about failover cluster instances, though Cluster Administrator should be used for some actions, such as starting and stopping the services.
