I've read that you can run a job on another server as long as you have a link server from the source to the destination server. I've search for hours online and read nearly everything in SQL Server Books Online pertaining to the sp_start_job function without success. I can't find one example on how to accomplish this.
I want to run a job called Job1 on Server1 from Server2 with a link server on Server2 to Server1 called ServerConn. The link server works fine grabbing data from Server1; so I know the link server works.
I am having problems on the server part of the sp_start_job function.
use msdb
exec sp_start_job @job_name = 'Job1', @server_name = 'ServerConn'
I end up with this error: The specified @job_name ('Job1) does not exist.
I don't understand why it is failing or how to fix it.
When our rep distribution services time-out (several times a day) some dba's just restart the service while others restart the rep job which starts the service. Are there any differences between these two methods? Does restarting the service inherit any changes made to the job's attributes?

- When I disable "allow remote connections to this server" from server properties>connection page, I can still remotely connect to the server from SSMS...so what is the impact of enable/disabling it?

I've installed sql server 7.0 on winnt. Later i've changed my system name. Due to this SQL SERVER is not running and i'm getting the following error. "Your SQL Server installation is either corrupt or has been tampered with (unkown package id). Please rerun setup.". I've changed my system name back to the original one and sql server is running again.
Is there any way to change my system name and sql server running??

Since I installed MySQL on my Win Me, MS SQL SErver 7.3 doesnt seem to start. It keeps giving the message " A connection could not be established to Venus Comp -General Newtwork error. Check your network documentation ConnectionOpen (connect()) Please verify SQL Server is running and check your SQL Server registration properties (by right clicking on the Venus Comp node & try again"
But when i right click on the properties, it gives me the same error. I deleted the Venus Comp node. And re-created it by following step by step wizard. After that , when it tried to connect, it gave the same error.
I'm using just Win Me. Im using no network. It used to work well before i Installed mySQL on the my pc.
I do not wish to re-install the SQLServer with the fear of MySql not working.

We just loaded SQL 2005 Standard Edition on a Windows 2000 Server. It will not let us start the Report Server through URL or through the SQL server Studio. The error in Studio is more descriptive so I have included the error text from attempting to start the Reporting Server through Studio using Object Explorer

I would like to access data from SQL database (SQL 2005 express) BEFORE Windows login (actually, the data I want to retrieve is the login name and password for Windows login). Is there a way that I can start the engine before I login?
I am having trouble just starting SQL Server 2005. When I try to use Management Studio, I do not see any server name. I just need to be able to start it up!
I have a pc running as an SQL Server 2005 express server. Last week, the RAID 1 array failed for some reason, both HD still work correctly and the raid utility simply mirrored everything back.
So after starting this pc the day after, SQL server stopped working. This is the error log:

I have been reading in this forum and other places, but I've had no luck fixing this. I already backed up all the mdf database files and logs just in case. The mssqlsystemresource database and logs are in the same location, and they have read/write access.
I want to start to use SQL Server 200 Express but have no idea where to enter the SQL queries and view the results.
I installed SQL Express and under Start > Programs > SQL Server 2005 I only have Configuration Tools which has Configuration Manager, Error and Usage Reporting and Surface Area Configuration.
SQL Server and SQL Server Browser Services are running but I have no clue of from to start creating my database, tables, etc etc.
I have a background of MySQL and used MySQL's command line tool and phpMyAdmin, so SQL is not a problem.
I upgraded my SQL 2005 Workgroup 2005 to SP2 and subsequently could not get the SQL Server service running. Turns out this was a problem because I had created separate folders for my data and log files. The distmdl.mdf and mssqlsystemresource.mdf files were in my data folder and distmdl.ldf and mssqlsystemresource.ldf were in my log folder. During SP2 upgrade a new distmdl.ldf and mssqlsystemresource.ldf were created in my data folder. I deleted the distmdl.ldf and mssqlsystemresource.ldf files in my log folder and then moved the newly created ones in my data folder into the log folder and all is well now.
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.
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??
When I start the SQL SQL Server Management studio, I always the the a message box with the message , "Configuring the Environment for first time use, this may take a few minutes". This is only happening on one lap top. SQL express and Sql standard are installed on the box. I have uninstall and reinstalled the tools, but the problem persist.
I have hit a problem while trying to re-start the server in Single User Mode in order to restore the master database. I run the command sqlservr -m and it locks after the 'non-unicode character set' line each time.
Is there anyone who knows anything about this? Have I missed something or is it a bug? I have researched quite a few books and haven't found any reference to this problem.
Hello All... I am new to this forum (and new to SQL for that matter), so I hope this isn't a stupid question. I tried searching for the answer but couldn't find it here. I am trying to start & stop SQL server through the command line so I can start & stop it as a scheduled task. Are there any switches for sqlmangr.exe I can use? Maybe another way?
