Error during item level recovery in DPM 2016 related to SQL Agent service account

Question
-
I'm getting the following error during item level recovery in DPM 2016 for SharePoint:
Failed to identify the SQL service account on the agent uniquely. (ID 32025 Details: Unknown error (0x80131501) (0x80131501))
I've tried changing the service account for the agent on the SQL server from a local NT Service\SQLAgent$Instance type account to a domain account without success. Any idea to the cause?
Thanks.

Hi!
Do you receive an error during the item level recovery before or after changing the SQL service account of the agent?

Both. That's the reason I changed the service account.Thursday, November 15, 2018 5:13 PM

Ok, where did you change the service account? The SQL service accounts needs to be changed in the SQL Server Configuration Manager, because it will grant the required permissions to run agent jobs for the domain account.
Changing the SQL Server Agent service account
- Stop and then start the SQL Server Agent service.
- Set the domain account for the SQL Server Agent service in SQL Server Configuration Manager.
- Start the SQL Server Agent service.

What does your DPM log say?
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Data Protection Manager\DPM\Temp\DPMCurr.errlog
Check on both DPM and SharePoint servers.
Edit: Has this worked previously? Has there been any change in the SharePoint environment or DPM environment?
