Need Assistance: Trying To Run Jobs And Getting Nowhere/SQLServerAgent
Sep 27, 2006
I've gone through hundreds of posts here and on the Net. I'm creating an ssis package to access my db on my desktop. I then save a copy as "Test" on the msdb database on our sql 2005 box.
Try to create a job and I'm getting nowhere. My SQL Server Agent account is a member of local Administrator group and a member of the domain.
Now what I noticed is if I run the dtsexec from the command prompt and use the command line string then it works. Just seems like I'm not able to run anything from the SQL Server>>Jobs interface.
Please Help :)

Dear all,
I can't start the SQLSERVERAGENT for my sql 2k under win 2003 sp1.
SQLServerAgent could not be started (reason: SQLServerAgent cannot start because the instance of the server (MSSQLSERV) is not the expected instance (MSSQLSERVER)).
I can't find any useful information regarding this error. Any one can help?
Thanks,
bchu

When my system re-boots SQLServerAgent will no longer start. The following message is sent to the NT Event Log:
(Event ID 103) "SQLServerAgent could not be started (reason: Unable to connect to server; SQLServerAgent cannot start)."
Following this message are two messages from MSSQLServer that read:
(Event ID 19020) "RPC Net-Library listening on: ncalrpc:USBGRSYSTST1[WMSG0000009A.00000001]."
So is this a timing issues? Is MSSQLServer taking too long to completely start before SQLServerAgent is started? If so, is there a way (without hacking through the registry) to make the SQLServerAgent service dependant on the MSSQLServer service?
This startup issue did not exist until an application was installed on the machine that also has several services that auto-start. I noticed that many of these new services are starting at the same time the MSSQLServer service is starting.
Any asssistance would be most appreciated.

We're running sql 7.0 sp1 and both the sqlserver service and sqlserveragent service are running under local system account.
For some reason, the sqlserveragent service started failed with
"error 2140" - windows nt internal error
From event viewer, it saids it has some connection problem.
The sqlserver service has no problem.
All knowledge base material related to 6.5 resolution.
Would rebuilding the registry entry help ? I tested and rebuilding the registry did not regrant any registry permission, should it ?
Where should I look into if above doesn't work ?
Thx.

This may be more of an IT question, but I hope someone here will have the answer.
I am trying to change the "Log on as" for SQLSERVERAGENT NT Service through Windows Registry. I am able to find HKLMSYSTEMCurrentControlSetServicesSQLSERVERAGENTObjectName and change it but I dont know how to specify a password to go with it. If I simply change it to .Administrator (from Local System) it errors out.
Ideally I would like to script this so I can change the logon without having to go though the Services Control Panel or SQL Management Studio.
Thanks.

Hi all,
I have a maintenance plan on SQL2000, that is backing up the database.
It is under Management/SQL Server Agent. When I try to start the job, I got an error, saying: Error 22022 SQLServerAgent is not currently running so it cannot be notified of this action.
But, when I try to start the SQL Server Agent (in Services), it stops directly with the following information: The SQLAgent$Sharepoint service on Local Computer started and then stopped. Some services stop automatically if they have no work to do, for example, the Performance Logs and Alerts service.
When I try to start it from the SQL Server Service Manager: no reaction at all!
What to do to fire the job ?
regards, Ger.

I was able to connect to SQL Server 2005 as a localhost by starting SQLSERVERAGENT in the Windows Services page. I was not able to attach the sample databases for the tutorials because of a compatibility issue with SQL Server 2000. I had both SQL Server 2000 and 2005 uninstalled and had SQL Server 2005 reinstalled to resolve this issue. SQLSERVERAGENT is no longer listed as a Windows service after 2005 was reinstalled. Any ideas what happened to SQLSERVERAGENT?
Thanks,
Tom

Can the SQLServerAgent be changed from running a system a/c to a domain a/c without re-installing?
If yes, is the place to change at
1) Enterprise Manager -> Management -> SQL Server Agent -> General tab
or
2) Control Panel -> SQLSERVERAGENTSERVICE -> Log On tab
Thanks in advance,
Ben

When I using Create Publication Wizard for database 'MY DATABASE', and setup 'MY SERVER' as the Distributor, then I get a message:
SQLServer Agent on 'MY SERVER' current uses a system acount, which cause replication between servers to fail. In the following dialog, specify a domain account for the Service startup account.
I don't understand this message (current in SQL Server Agent properties, tab Service startup account using System account)? Anyone can explain to me?

I restarted the MSSQLSERVER service and SQLSERVERAGENT will not restart.
I get the following error.
Could not start the SQLSERVERAGENT service on Local Computer.
The service did not return an error. This could be an internal Windows erroror an internal service error.
If the problem persists, contact you system administrator.
Well the system administrator has no idea.
I am new at this.
please give me a hand.

I need to start the SQLServerAgent because I have a need to install a backup procedure that will run regularly. but I need to also make the Agent service be set up to autostart with the PC. If I go
into ControlPanel...Services I can do this manually, but how to do it
programmatically? Is there a command line command like net start that can do the trick, or can I direct SQL Server to do it through a TSQL procedure?

Hi,
We have a sqlserver 7 on windows nt 4.
We'd just change a startup account for sqlserver agent to a
not domain admin for security reason. The startup account for sqlserver service is
still domain admin. We are now getting the following error every 5 second
in our application event log.
"SQLServeragent security context does not have server-autorestart privileges"
Is there a way to get rid of this error without putting a domain admin as
a startup account for sqlserver agent?

For some weeks now, SQLServeragent hangs after I restart the computer. Whatcould be a reason for this? I don't think I changed anything.The system protocol only says "SQLServeragent hung during start" (orsimilar - I have a German speaking system here).The application protocol says something like: "SQLServerAgent can not bestarted (reason: Connection to server can not be established. SQLServerAgentcan not start.)"MSSQL runs without problems, and when I start SQLServeragent manually, itruns without problems too.System: Microsoft SQL Server 7.00 - 7.00.1077 (Intel X86)Sep 6 2002 15:10:15Standard Edition on Windows NT 4.0 (Build 1381: Service Pack 6)-mpe

Hi All,
I need a help here please.
I have a sql server 2000 running on windows server 2003. I run the services (MSSQLSERVER,SQLSERVERAGENT) under a local user which has no admin right. This local user named "sqlsvr".
The configuration that i used to make the "sqlsvr" able to run the services is in this web address :
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;Q283811
After im able to run the services under "sqlsvr". I added also permission "Impersonate client after authentication" on security policy for "sqlsvr" in order to make the clients able to connect to sqlserver through ODBC with "windows authentication" mode.
But the problem is, after i finished these configuration, i cannot make the SQLSVRAGENT run. And it shows an error message :
"SQLServerAgent started then stopped. Some services stop automatically if they have no work to do for example Performance Logs and Alert Service" and stops there. Then what we have to do is use the start to startup the service....€?
Please help
note : I must run the services under "sqlsvr" in order to comply with the security standard on my office.
Thank you very much
Best Regards
Felix Adhitya

I recently installed SQL Server 2005 and setup a database for one of the systems that I support as a DBA. After installation and the system, which has remote developers, was tested successfully, our security group performed a security scan on the SQL server. The scan revealed a few potential vulnerabilities. Below are the questionable items that the scan identified within the Windows User Rights Assignment. I believe the SQL Server installation assigns these system privileges to the SQLServer and SQLServerAgent accounts by default. I'd like to know how many, if any of these privileges, are necessary.
1) SQLServer and SQLServerAgent accounts have "Bypass Traverse Setting" privilege within Windows User Rights Assignment
2) SQLServer and SQLServerAgent accounts have "Log on as Batch Job" privilege within Windows User Rights Assignment. I realize I need this to schedule SQL Server jobs which run batch jobs and such, but any other reason to keep this privilege.
3) SQLServer and SQLServerAgent accounts have "Memory Quota" privilege within Windows User Rights Assignment
4) SQLServer and SQLServerAgent accounts have "Replace Process Token" privilege within Windows User Rights Assignment
Any guidance on this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Jason Malasovich

The 2005 Best Practices Analyzer (July 2007) contradicts Books Online about what account to run SQLSERVERAGENT under.
BPA says use Network Service Account, BOL explicitly says not to use Network Service Account:
BPA gives a warning saying "SQL Server Service [MY-PCSQLSERVERAGENT] In Unrecommended Account On Host [MY-PC]. We recommend that the service [SQLSERVERAGENT] on host [MY-PC] be run under Network Service Account. Currently it is designated to run under the account [SOMEDOMAINsomeaccount]."
BooksOnline says "Security Note: Because multiple services can use the Network Service account, it is difficult to control which services have access to network resources, including SQL Server databases. We do not recommend using the Network Service account for the SQL Server Agent service."
So who's right ? BPA or BOL ?

I'm not sure i was clear the first time. When the MSSQLServer Service is stopped and started, it stops the SQLServerAgent Service also. But when the MSSQLServer Service is started, it DOES NOT start the SQLServerAgent Service. I don't think this is configurable, so I was wondering if someone had a workaround (.bat file, service dependency, etc.).
TIA,
Mike

Since Copy Databas Wizard failed to copy anything from remote SS20005 (both are with SP2 3054) in any combination,
I changed SQLServerAgent(myinstance_name) to run under Network from Local System with the help of SQL Server Configuration Manager
For this change it was restarted, failed to start again and continues to be stopped giving
"SQLServerAgent could not be started (reason: Unable to connect to server '<mymachine_name><myinstance_name>'; SQLServerAgent cannot start)."
I changed SQL Server Agent (myinstance_name) back to Local Service, then to Local System and still can't start it.
So, my questions:
1)
What has happened and how can I start SQLServerAgent?
2)
Why cannot I start it under Network Service? since it apparently should access remote resources for CDW to copy from remote SS2005
This is on MS Windows XP SP2
PS
After few trials I amnaged to restart it again under Local System but still cannot change to any different one

SQL Server in on a ‘member’ server in my company domain (We took the ‘stand-alone’ option when installing NT on this server).
I have set up an NT domain account for SQL ServerAgent ‘Service startup account’ which is a different account than the NT domain account listed in the SQL Server Properties, Security tab, ‘Startup service account’.
I log on to this server with the login in the latter.
Replication is working OK, but my application log keeps filling up with the message “SQLServerAgent security context does not have server autorestart privileges”.
What have I done wrong?
Thanks,
Judith

I have a SQL2000 enterprise edition with sp3 clustered.
I am creating backup jobs via t-sql for around 680 databases. From MMC sqlAgent jobs, found all jobs (every DB has 7 jobs(M-Sun) are created. But some of (around 20% of the 680*7= 4760 jobs) in the Next Run Date column with value of "(Date and Time are not available". It means these jobs might be skipped to run.
If I right click the job and choose "start", then the job Next Run Date will be the corrent datetime. But when I rerun the t-sql to recreate jobs for these 20%, I get the
[The maximum number of pending SQLServerAgent notifications has been exceeded. The notification will be ignored.]
Is there a way to around it?
thanks
