Agent properties are checked to auto start if stopped. Under the Agent
Error Log, I have the following data:
Information:
SQL Agent stopping because of Windows shutdown.
SQL Agent terminated normally.
Error:
SQL Server Error: 1115, cannot generate SSPI context SQLState HY000.
Logon to server(local) failed.
Help apprecaited. Thanks

Hello everyone! We had an issue this week where SQL Server Agent did not restart automatically. Weekly maintenance runs on the server each Sunday in which a reboot of the server occurs. Both SQL Server and SQL Server Agent are set to auto-start when OS starts. SQL started fine, but SQL Server Agent didn't.
Anyone know of a reason why SQL Server Agent wouldn't have restarted? Also, does anyone know of a way to set something up that would alert me (through email) if this service hasn't restarted?
Thanks in advance,
Lance

I am not successful in getting SQL Server Agent to startup when SQL server starts up.
I believe the problem has to do with a lack of permissions or rights. I will list the steps
below which seem to me to be all that are needed to install SQL Server Agent. I used
Enterprise Manager to get this information.
If anyone can shoot any holes in the process, please do, that may be where my
problem lies.
a. Created NT accounts called MSSQLSERVER for the server and MSSQLSERVERAGENT
for SQL Agent.
b. Each of these accounts has the "right" to logon as a service.
c. Each of these accounts has "admin" rights.
d. Each of these accounts has been added to SQL SERVER under Security and Logins.
e. The properties assigned to each of the accounts are:
(1) on the general tab -- Windows NT authentication is in effect, database is master
and language is English (2) on the server roles tab -- System Administrators is checked
(3) on the database access tab -- the master database is checked
f. Under SQL Server Agent, properties, selecting the General Tab, in the frame
titled "service startup account":
(1) the circle labelled "this account" is clicked (2) the account is filled in using
domain namemssqlserveragent (3) the correct password is filled in taking case
into consideration
g. Under SQL Server Agent, properties, selecting the Connection Tab, in the frame
titled "sql server connection":
(1) the circle labelled "use windows NT authentication" is clicked
h. Right clicking the server and selecting properties show a multi-tab window
(1) the general tab shows that all three autostart boxes are checked
(2) the security tabs shows SQL Server and Windows authentication are in effect
(3) the startup service account shows "this account" selected and the account
is filled in with domain namemssqlserver and the password is filled in (taking
case into consideration)
In all cases above, the domain name is not the domain in which the server resides,
but is in a "trusted" domain.
Any help would be very much appreciated!!!!!

Hi All,
I would appreciate any help here at all. I am pulling my hair out!
I am unable to start the snapshot agent or log reader agent from within SQL management studio. it fails on executing step 2 with unknown username or bad password.
I have checked all account details and they are correctly using my domain admin account. I can connect to SQL using teh same account and it also has sysadmin permissions.
If i copy the step 2 paramters and start from the cmd prompt (again logged in using the same domain account) they both start fine.
Any ideas would be gratefully received.

I am testing peer to peer replication in our environment. I simulated a three node peer to peer topology and a local distributor.
For some wierd reason I cannot get the Log Reader Agent and snapshot agent to start. The domain account under which SQL Server Agent runs has administrator previlage on the box. I also use a domain account for SQL Server Service. (none of the passwords changed).
This is the error I am getting - "Executed as user: abc. A required privilege is not held by the client. The step failed"
Any ideas???
Also this domain account is a member of
SQLServer2005MSSQLUsers$ServerName$MSSQLSERVER
SQLServer2005MSAgentUser$ServerName$MSSQLSERVER

We currently have SQL Server 6.5 installed on 2 servers and did not
specify to automatically start the mail client. When I display the Server
Configuration/Options screen in Enterprise Manager, the Auto Start Mail
Client check box option is grayed out. How can I change these servers to
automatically start the mail client at startup?
Thanks in advance!

Morning,
I set up SQL Agent to start up on a domain account with Administrator rights, and the
auto-restart option is on. However, the agent does not restart automatically when restarting
SQL Server. No problems restarting manually. The Event Viewer logs the following:
"SQLServerAgent security context does not have server-autorestart privileges."
Any ideas on how to diagnose this?
Thanks,
Sergio

Hi Experts,
I have a table with fields:
remindWHO remindWHEN remindWHATsomeone@test.com 6/20/05 do blah blah
I want SQL Server Agent automatically run every morning at 1:00 AM, check against "remindWHEN" date, if match with current date, send out email to "remindWHO" for what they need to do in "remindWHAT"
I was told this can be done by using the "Jobs" feature under SQL Server Agent to do this, but I don't know how to write Transact-SQL-Script under "Job Step".
Please help me. Or any better alternative?I appreciate for any help.

I changed my server's service account to Domainsqladmin and the service started successfully.
I did the same for SQL Agent but the service starts and stops. In Event Viewer saw this error:
SQLServerAgent could not be started (reason: SQLServerAgent must be able to connect to SQLServer as SysAdmin, but '(Unknown)' is not a member of the SysAdmin role).
I checked Logins under under security in SSMS and the Domainsqladmin is a member of SysAdmin roles. What's wrong?

Is it possible to manually force/call/start the system AUTOSHRINK process? I have an issue that appears only when the engine shrinking process is running and I need this to reproduce my bug.
I know how to start a "regular" database shrink process with:DBCC SHRINKDATABASE(xxxx);, but this is not the same as one started from the database engine.

I'm trying to set up SQL 7 for replication, so I set SQLAgent to start automatically, same as SQL Server itself. SQL Server starts fine, but SQL Agent "fails to connect in a reasonable time" according to the Event log (3000 milliseconds).
Can you suggest how I go about fixing this? They both are using valid logins, so I don't know what else could be wrong.
Advice appreciated!

I have a problem with a server where for some reason when it is rebooted the SQLAgent service does not start automatically. You have to go into control panel, services and start it, even the it is set to Automatic.
Thanking in advance for any ideas??

We restored a database with replicated tables. Now, the Log Reader Agent will not run. This displays:
"The process could not execute 'sp_repldone/sp_replcounters' on 'ourservername'."
In Error Details for the agent:
"The process could not set the last distributed transaction."
And, from the logs:
"ForwardLogBlockReadAheadAsync: Operating system error 998(Invalid access to memory location.) encountered."
Does anyone know how we get the Distribution database and the Log Reader running again?
It is only affecting Transactional replication (not snapshot or merge).

Hi guys,
I'm trying to set up merge replication between a SQL Server 2000 SP4 / Win2k box and a MSDE SP4/WinXP box and I'm finding that the initial snapshot isn't being produced.
The SQL Agent runs as a windows user that has admin privileges, the snapshot agent impersonates the SQL Agent. The SQL Server login for the agent account has the server role "System Administrators" and database access to all db's.
When I turn on logging and try to start the agent, the following is written to the log:
Microsoft SQL Server Snapshot Agent 8.00.760
Copyright (c) 2000 Microsoft Corporation
Microsoft SQL Server Replication Agent: SVRName-POS-POS_Test_Suburb-1
Connecting to Distributor 'SVRName'
SourceTypeId = 5
SourceName = SVRName
ErrorCode = 18456
ErrorText = Login failed for user 'SVRNameSQLAgent'.
The process could not connect to Distributor 'SVRName'.
Most of the posts I've seen regarding problems like this are due to subscriber authentication issues (not up to that, this is the initial snapshot) or windows/domain user permissions.
Any ideas what else it might be?

Hi,
I have installed the MSDE and use mixed mode authenticaton.
The SQL Server Agent will not start due to login failures.
Normally, I would use the Enterprise Manager Managment wizard to
correct the System Account and Connection Credentials.
Can anyone tell me how to achieve this using OSQL?
Thanks

We came across a biggg issue with SQL Agent service on one of our SQL Server 2012 production servers. Suddenly, it stopped working. So we just thought of disabling and enabling the service, but once we disabled and try to set automatic (before starting it), gives us error message "The Remote Procedure Call Failed [0x800706be]".

We are having problems w/ our agent. When we try to start it in computer management, it will say the agent started then stopped because it has nothing to do. In surface area config, when we try to start it it times out. Does anyone have experience with this? We are desperate. Thanks!
