SQL 2012 :: Server Agent - Allow Service To Interact With Desktop
Mar 9, 2015
What sort of things would it interact with to justify having this ticked as the sqlserver.exe seems to be consuming all the CPU constantly and some suggestions have said that having this ticked can cause a performance issue.
I created a SQL Server Agent job that contains an SSIS task. This task runs succesfully from BIDS. From the SQL Server Agent job it never completes while trying to run the SSIS task that needs to open an WS_FTP command line window to run an sftp step and then close.
I had this working on my local machine, Windows XP SP2, using the SSIS service using the local system account with "Allow Service to Interact with Desktop" checked. I needed to check this option for it to work. Otherwise the routine just hung without completing or an error message.
On our test machine running Windows 2003 with SP1 the SQL Server Agent and SSIS services are set to run under the NT Authority/NetworkServices account. I set the permissions on this account based from the list shown at SQL Server 2005 Books Online, Selecting an Account for the SQL Server Agent Service ,http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms191543.aspx. I also needed to set folder permission on this account to access the files I wanted to ftp.
What I don't know what to do and that I suspect might be the problem is how to set the equivalent of, "Allow Service to Interact with Desktop" for this account. This was only an option under the local system account.
I would appreciate any ideas and guidance on how to deal with this case. Thanks.
I recently installed SQL Server 7.0 on my desktop workstation. I has been working great until yesterday when services wouldn't start. The Service Manager gave me a message "An error 1069 - (The service did not start due to a logon failure.) occurred while performing this service operation on the MSSQLServer service." It appears to be a permission problem, but my profile hasn't changed, I have admin rights on my workstation. Can anybody help?

Hi all, I do understand that it is highly recomended to have aserprate user (perfered a domain user account) for each of the SQL Server service and SQL Agent service. What is the reason behind that? (Someone told me to not run the service with an account that has a powerul privilegs! - I don't undrstanmd this point can you explain it please?) What is the diffrent between: 1- Local System account 2 -Network Service account
I switched my SQLSERVERAGENT service to use the Local System Account.
I stopped and restarted the service.
Both the Services window and Enterprise Manager show the SQL Server Agent is running. But when I try kicking off a job I get the following message: Error 22022: SQLServerAgent is not currently running so it cannot be notified of this action. Any clues as to why the agent could be running, but not know that it is running?
I'm new to sql server administration so please show some understanding!
I installed sql server 2000 personal edition (upgrated to sp4) on an windows xp pro OS, but I cannot get the sql server agent service running. I get a message " the service did not start due to a logon failure". The server is my local pc, I'm using windows authentication and the login is "domain/loginname" where domain is my pc name.
Does it have to be installed on a server OS to have this service running?
When I run sp_delete_job to delete the whole job inside, will the job steps, job schedules and job servers of that job will be deleted automatically also?
so, do i need to run sp_delete_job only? or need sp_delete_jobstep, sp_delete_jobschedule and sp_delete_jobserver also?
I'm thinking of using SQL Server Agent Service for my PDA app. But, I want to use different accounts for SQL Server and SQL Server Agent Service. How can we do this in SQL Server 2005? Do we do this when installing it? Thanks
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?
I am trying to upgrade my default instance from SQL Server 2000 Standard to SQL Server 2005 Standard. I get to the service authentication window and hit my first problem. On that window, there is a dropdown box where you should be able to choose the default instance service AND the SQL Server Agent service and set the authentication information for both of those services. That's the way it is in my test environment. However, on my production server, when I click that dropdown box, only the instance appears, and not the agent. Why?
I tried the upgrade this past weekend and ran into this problem. After researching it and not finding anything out about it online, I decided to just go forward anyway since I had lots of backups and copies of everything. The upgrade appeared to go ok, but the agent service wouldn't start. It gave the usual message when you try to start a service that doesn't have anything to do, like the Performance Logs and Alerts service. When I looked at the agent in SQL Server Management Studio, it had (Agent XPs Disabled) next to it. So I researched this and found how to enable it. For some people online, this allowed them to start the agent service, but of course that didn't work for me. Finally in my research online I found that some individuals had a lot of missing system tables in their MSDB and Master databases after the upgrade due to some of the SQL scripts that are part of the upgrade process not running properly. So I compared my system tables and SP's against another SQL 2005 instance I have, and sure enough, there appears to be a lot of missing tables. It was at that point I decided to just restore everything and try again later.
My point in writing that second paragraph is to ask if that was all due to the fact that the SQL Server Agent wasn't listed in the upgrade wizard like it should have been? Or maybe the fact that it wasn't in that dropdown box was evidence of a deeper problem? Is it likely that if I do whatever it is I need to do to make the agent appear in the upgrade wizard that my missing system tables and agent service not starting problems would probably not be an issue anymore? And why would the agent not be appearing in the upgrade wizard?
I have six stored procedures that I have to run hourly during the day. When I schedule them into separate SQL jobs (they must run concurrently), the percent CPU of Sqlagent90.exe process goes way up, eventually pegging out the overal CPU usage on the server. When I run the six stored procedures concurrently from query windows in SQL Server Management Sudio, the overall CPU usage stays very low.
Is there something about the SQL Server Agent that inherently adds CPU overheard? Thanks in advance ....
Local server accounts. I'm building an instance that doesn't interact with other servers, services or resources on our network. Can I use the local service account as the project manager doesn't want to use normal AD service account that we normally use. As the instance won't interact with any other server etc would this create any security issues? The project manager would also "...prefer SQL to run under the least privileged account possible".
The SQL Server Agent (MSSQLSERVER) service on server started and then stopped. If i Manually start the services also SQL Server Agent services are stopping automatically.Though I selected Auto Restart SQL Server Agent if it stops unexpectedly, The services are stopping automatically.TCP/IP protocol was enabled for port 1433.Are there any setup I missed?
hi, can anyone explain, how to execute package with sql server agent:
the problem is::
i made a integration service package (in visual studio 2005). When I 'm in visual studio and do "execute" the package it works well. Then I build a dtsx file. When i double click on it, it opens and if i do execute, it works well.
I want to execute the package every week automatically. I write a job in SQL server agent, in Steps I choosed Type=SQL server Integration service packege, then General->packacge source -> file system, and then wrote where the dtsx file is (which was built). "Run as" I choose my user name.
then i'm trying to start a job, but it fails, and writes "The package execution failed."
How to change the SQL Server Express or SQL Server Agent service account programatically using C# 2.0 ? actually, I do know all the other methods like using SQL Server Configuration Manager in SQL Server 2005 or Manage My Computer dialoge. But I really need to do this using C# 2.0.
Why I need this? I want to do this as a part of an installation procedure to make the user able to backup his database anywhere with any priveleges. And I dont wanna him to do this manually as he is not an expert at all or even a novice.
I want to give developers access to view SQL Job history, but not let them inhert permission to create local jobs like they get with the fixed server roles.
how can this be achieved? Or can it only be achieved by giving them access to the tables in msdb and querying them?
How to design at database level such a way so that when I implement a SQL query that returns one hundred thousand rows only display 25 rows at the client (Web page at a time). How can I accomplish this?
Once I display first 25 rows then how do I bring next 25 rows and so on. Can it be done via paging or there are other techniques. However I asked to design this in the database level. I am using MS SQL Server 2008. Front end Visual Studio 2010. I use C# for coding.
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.
In one of my environments, I need to grant the ability to view all the logins and agent jobs to an account, but I don't want to give him "sysadmin" or "securityadmin".
Whenever i change the SA password to anything else, my SQL Agent services like jobs, alerts starts falling, and if i attempt to stop and then restart sql agent service, it will not start again.
My server uses sql authentication for everything...
Hello, I am having a problem with my sql server agent service not working. I have done some research from earlier postings and still having no luck with getting it up and running.
Problem: "Could not start the SQLSEVERAGENT service on local computer. could be an internal Windows errow or service error.
2006-05-09 14:23:55 - ! [298] SQLServer Error: 6, Specified SQL server not found. [SQLSTATE 08001] 2006-05-09 14:23:55 - ! [298] SQLServer Error: 11001, ConnectionOpen (Connect()).

I have reset the password for the 'sa' account and running it and got error: Error 18456: login failed for user Specify a different account to be used. But when I try it only provides me with the 'sa' account.
My primary goal is to run some DMP ion the databases that I have on the server.
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]".
Sql server service has been started with a normal user who do not have any permission but he is a domain user. The sql server service can be started successfuly in cluster
But if the Same user is used to start the SQL Server Agent service there is an error.What is the mininumum priviledge to start a sql server agent in cluster. Why it cannot the domain user cannot be used to start the sql agent service.
I downloaded the SSEUtilSetup.EXE and extracted the SSEUtil.exe to a folder of C:drive of my PC that is Windows XP Pro. I plan to learn the CLR programming via user-instance of SQL Server Express. I need to have SQL Server Express Utility installed. Please help and tell me how I can install SSEUtil.exe in my PC and how I use it to interact with SQL Server Express.
I just learned I can deploy and schedule jobs to run SSIS packages (via job/sqlagent) without the Integration Service (agent) itself actually running alongside (or on) the server. (Double-click on manifest, deploy IS package to server, create job/job step to run IS package, watch it run even when integration service is completely disabled)
Other than convenient viewing, configuring, and RMC running w/in SQL Server Mgmt Studio 2005, why then do I need the integration service running on a production box at all? When do I really need the IS service itself?
In our (finance) world only (a) an act of God or (b) a DBA can touch production databases/servers. Allowing anyone to connect to yet another service - in this case, an integration service - to meddle w/ a package would be a no no, so...
1) Could I trouble someone for a concrete, critical reason why the DBA should enable it on a production server. Speed? Caching? Peace of mind knowing everything is piled onto and neatly running on the server?
2) On a more minor note, if I'm deploying a package to be housed solely w/in MSDB, is there anyway to prevent the prompt of a file location during deployment, i.e. the creation of an empty directory that would otherwise hold package dependencies if I were running it as a file?
We'd like to deploy only to MSDB (I know all the pros/cons w/r/t saving dtsxs to files v. msdb) and keep deployments clean (read: all in one place). DR is via SAN-to-SAN replication with, among other things, msdb cleanly getting replicated. We would very much like to avoid having to worry about (more) file/directories sitting out on a server share to be replicated to DR (it seems the default is to allow deployments to directories on the SQL server instance itself..ugh) Any architectural insights on this would be appreciated.
