I've been struggling to figure out how to set the "Log on as" login for a SQL Server agent that isn't a member of the Administrators group.
Is this even possible? No matter what policy settings I assign the the user, I get an access denied error when I try to start the SQL Server Agent service. If that user is part of the administrators group, there are no errors.
I have no problems with other services and "log on as" logins...

Hi have you guys seen this error when trying to start the sql agent?
SQLServerAgent could not be started (reason: sqlserveragent must be able to connect to sqlserver as sysadmin, but '(unkown)' is not a member of the sysadmin rol.
What is this all about I can start the sql server service with the same account i'm trying to start the agent.
When I am trying to start SQL Server Agent from Enterprise Manager I am getting:
" An Error 5 - (Access Denied) occured while performing this operation on SQLServerAgent. "
No sound explanation found in MSDN library.
How to resolve this matter, is there other than EM methods so start it?
Thanx.

Hi,
Running SQL 7.0 on NT4.
When server boots the SQL Server Agent appears to start normally. NT Service starts, Event Viewer shows service is started, Service Control Manager shows service started.
However when I try to view a job or create a lob I get the following error:
Error 14258: Cannot perform this operation while SQLServerAgent is starting. Please try again later.
Has anyone seen this behaviour before??
Thanks in advance

I am running windows 2003 and sql server 2005. i am following the directions in books online:
On the Start menu, point to All Programs, point to Microsoft SQL Server 2005, point to Configuration Tools, and then click SQL Server Configuration Manager.
In SQL Server Configuration Manager, expand Services, and then click SQL Agent.
In the results pane, right-click any instance, and then click Start.
A green arrow on the icon next to the SQL Server Agent and on the toolbar indicates that SQL Server Agent started successfully.
Click OK.
the problem is i have nothing in Services. there is nothing to expand.
is it installed wrong?? or is there another step before this that i have to do??

I have a Win 2003 server running 3 instances of SQL 2000 Enterprise.
The problem is I can only start 2 of the 3 Job Agents at a time, as the 3rd gets stuck in a starting state.
Has anyone struck this problem before?
Thanks.
When I start SQL Server Agent it's shutting down minute after starting. I tried to set Alerts to send email. After I configured Database Mail ,I was able to send test email , however after that SQL Server Agent started to misbehave.

I have recently upgraded to SQL2014 on Win2012. The Access front end program works fine.
But, previously created Excel reports with built in MS Queries now fail with the above error for users with MS 2013. The queries still work for users still using MS 2007.Â
I also cannot create any new queries and get the same error message. If I log on as myself on the domain to another PC with 2007 installed it works fine, so I don't think it is anything to do with AD groups or permissions.
We just moved source server to newer, bigger box ... Windows 2003 and Active Directory ... Snapshot agent worked but distribution failed ... Same login as on older machine, login is sysadm, used DCOMCNFG to allow ability to launch process ... What are we missing?

We have a demo version of our SQL2000 application that uses MSDE. This has always worked sucessfully in the past.
However, at the most recent installation however there is a problem which I cannot seem to fix.
MDSE was installed on Windows 2000 using the Local Admin account.
When the user logs on to the PC, SQL will not start gives error message '5 Access Denied'.
I have given the local user read/write permission to the Data directory and mdf/ldf files that it contains.
I have tried starting SQL specifiying it to log on using the Local Admin account but it makes no difference.
Does anyone know what else can I do?
Thank you

The SQLAgent service was modified to login as a domain account. SQLAgent would not start. I made sure that the account was in the Admin group on the server, I setup the account as a System Administrator in SQL. I made sure that the network protocols in Client Network Utiliity and Server Network Utility where the same as other servers using the domain account. The message I'm getting is...
SQLServerAgent could not be started (reason: Unable to connect to server; SQLServerAgent cannot start).
I modified the properties for SQLAgent back to login as local account and I still get the same problem.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

For three months I have be starting the SQL Agent using the following bat file
EXEC XP_CMDSHELL 'NET START SQLSERVERAGENT'.
Starting this week the agent is not starting. This is the error message

What could have changed on the Server?
When attempting to start SQL Server agent I get the following error:
"Error 1753 No End points available from Endpoint Mapper"
How can I solve this problem?
Thanks in advance for your time.
I am unable to get SQL Agent service to run under the same domain name that my SQL Server service is running under. It will start and continue to run when Server and Agent are both ran under the Local Account. But once the services are switched over to the domain account, the Server starts, but the Agent fails. The domain user has administrative rights on the server, along with admin rights to the SQL instance.
Here is the event log.

We have SQL Server 7.0 running on an NT 4.0 sp5 box. Whenever we stop the SQL Server Service, we get the message that SQL Agent will also be stopped. If we do this, all the services seem to stop fine, but when we try to start the SQL Server Agent Service back up, it won't let us. In order for it to restart, we have to reboot the server so that it starts 'automatically'. Does anyone have any ideas as to why this is?
View 1 Replies View RelatedHow do you start SQL Agent? MS states not to start thru Service Manager as it may corrupt registry. There is no Resource for SQL Agent in 7.0 cluster. The service is down, need to start to get jobs to run. I've just checked (enabled) the properties so Agent will start on O/S reboot or start after Unexpected stop. How do I get it start in the meantime?
Thanks!

I am not able to run more than 8 jobs in SQL Server using SQL Agent JOB.
Any ideas and suggestions.
Thanks in advance.
Hi
All my SSIS packages consistently take 1 minute to start when they are scheduled via the SQL Agent.
For example, a package runs in 20 seconds in the BI Studio. I transfer it to the SQL server and store it in MSDB. I then run it manually from SSMS - Integration Services and it takes 20 seconds. I then schedule it via a job in the SQL Agent and it takes 1 minute 20 seconds.
I can see from some simple logging that there is consistently a delay of 1 minute between the job starting and the package starting.
I have also switched every occurrence possible of DelayValidation to TRUE in all my packages and tasks. All this did was reduce the package run time from 27 seconds to 20 - the 1 minute delay still exists.
This happens on all my packages on all my servers. Any ideas.....?
Thanks
Hi,
I wonder if anybody can shed any light on this problem. I have a SQL Agent job which has three steps, each step runs an SSIS package.
The job is scheduled to start at 11.00 pm, which is does successfully. However, it has been taking between 2 and 3 hours to run, which is way longer than it should.
When I've looked at the logging, I've found that the although the job starts at 11.00 pm, the first package (in job step 1) does not start executing until about 11.30. It finishes in about 5 minutes, there is then about an hour delay before the second package (in job step 2) starts. This finishes in about 10 minutes, then there is another hour delay before the third package (in job step 3) starts.
I've tried configuring the steps as SSIS jobs, and also as cmd jobs using dtexec, both exhibit the same behaviour.
Any ideas about what could be causing this delay? The packages are stored in msdb on the same server as the SQL Agent job, if that makes any difference.
Thanks,
Sam
Hi

but I doesn’t work
Do any one know how can I fix it ?
Tanks,
SQL agent is using NT login with all permission & agent and sqlserver using the same NT username . SA password has not been changed for more than one year.
The SQL Server agent log is showing "waiting to recover database". What could be the reason ?

I have recently deployed a web app that I have been developing onto the production server (Windows 2003 SP1 + an SQL Server 2000 SP4 cluster). The web app uses both Enterprise library and another Dotnet based database abstraction layer to query SQL Server. However, on deployment, when requesting data through both abstraction layers, I receive the generic SQL Server does not exist or access denied. However, I have validated the configuration of Enterprise library by creating a simple diagnostics console app that uses the exact enterprise library configuration file and this can connect without a problem. It seems like only web applications are affected though this is fairly standard web app using ASPNET, user , no impersonation etc. Therefore I suspect something similar to permissions on dlls or similar. I have looked around at Windows, WindowsSystem 32, the Dotnet framework but can anyone suggest any other areas to look at?

Hello everyone,
I’m hoping that someone could help explain why I get this error “SQL Server does not exist or access denied.� . I’ve migrated to the web server from my local machine and these are the steps I took:
1.Copied folder to web server.
2. Changed connection string to connect to DB
3. modified web.config
Being the first time I’ve done this I’m also posting the connection string and config file code.
this.sqlConnect.ConnectionString = "Provider=sqloledb;Data Source=serverAddress;Initial Catalog=myDB;User Id=myLogin;Password=myPass";
I changed it from this:
this.sqlConnect.ConnectionString = "workstation id=myComputerName;packet size=4096;integrated security=SSPI;data source=myComputerName;pers" + "ist security info=False;initial catalog=blog";
the config file:
<sessionState
mode="InProc"
stateConnectionString="tcpip=mssql.mySqlSource.com:42424"
sqlConnectionString="data source=mssql.mySqlSource.com;Trusted_Connection=yes"
cookieless="false"
timeout="20"
/>
Question- that port number, does it need to be changed?
I know that the server is running both 1.1 and 2.0 framework. Not sure if that could be an issue or not.
In Advance I want to say thanks for any support I receive.
The Fatthippo.
