Hi,
When I click on SQL Server agent I get the "Unable to start service error".
It says serivce started and stopped.
Anybody having any clue on what's going wrong. Please let me know.
Regards,
HV
I need to start SQL Server Agent so that I can run scheduled jobs. I am running SQL Server 7.0 with windows NT 4.0 service pack 4. When I try to start the agent I get the following error
Error 22003: StartService() returned error 5,'Access is denied'
Does anyone have an idea as to why this is happening?
Any help with this problem would be appreciated.
Thanks
Phil
Had some big problems with my SQL Server 2008 R2 SP1 during the last maintenance running on Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise ( upgraded from Standard). I'm getting the following error,
"SQL Server blocked access to procedure 'dbo.sp_sqlagent_has_server_access' of component 'Agent XPs' because this component is turned off as part of the security configuration for this server. A system administrator can enable the use of 'Agent XPs' by using sp_configure. For more information about enabling 'Agent XPs', see "Surface Area Configuration" in SQL Server Books Online."
I did a google search and found others with the problem but the resolution isn't working for me. I ran the following commands, heck I ran them multiple times. No errors come back running these commands. But the same error keeps happening, I even restart the service and then the server again.
sp_configure 'show advanced options', 1;
GO
RECONFIGURE;
GO
sp_configure 'Agent XPs', 1;
GO
RECONFIGURE
GO
The msdb got too big for the disk it was on. I had maintenance plans to clear out the all of histories but I didn't think of the mail items. When I finally saw this problem I tried clearing them out using the stored procedures only with it finally failing because the transaction log got full. Since we didn't have a lot of jobs scheduled I decided to just recreate the msdb. So I scheduled a maintenance window, download SQL Server Service Pack 3.
my steps are as follows:
->diff backup of msdb
->stopped the service and started it again with: NET START MSSQLSERVER /T3608
->detached msdb with: SQLCMD -E -SP-SRVR-SQL-01 -dmaster -Q"EXEC sp_detach_db msdb"
->moved it off the drive
->restarted the service without any startup flags
->recreated msdb with: SQLCMD -E -SP-SRVR-SQL-01 -i"D:Microsoft SQL ->ServerMSSQL10_50.MSSQLSERVERMSSQLInstallinstmsdb.sql" -o"D:Microsoft SQL ServerMSSQL10_50.MSSQLSERVERMSSQLInstallinstmsdb62715.out"
I looked at the log file and there were no actual error messages so I applied service pack 3 and restarted server after it installed, was actually prompted to restart. In my tests I was never prompted to restart the server.Now I never started the agent service after recreating the msdb database since I knew it wasn't on the same version. I just went directly to the latest SP. Our applications are running fine but now I cant do scheduled backups.
Hi all
When i started the service, i am getting the following message
Starting up database 'master'.
Error: 9003, Severity: 20, State: 1.
Cannot recover the master database. Exiting.
i tried starting using -f -m paramters,but could not succeed
i don't have any backups for master database
is there any way i can restore it from .mdf, .ldf files..
Pls suggest..
Thanks in advance

Hi,
I was unable to start SQL Browser Services (time out) after installing SQL Server 2005 Analysis Services. The configuration of the server is
1. Win 2003 R2
2. Sql Server 2000 SP4

Anybody has encountered this before? Any advice will be good.

hi all
i'm using a domain accout to setup a sql 2005 cluster in a win2003 cluster.when the installation ended,the SqlServerAgent service can't be started.the event in event viewer
is "SQLServerAgent could not be started (reason: Unable to connect to server "(local)"; LServerAgent
cannot start). " (event id 103 ,source sqlserveragent).I try to use local system and network service account to start it,but it's all the same.
And i found i can connect to the sql cluster vitrual ip 10.73.2.224,but can't connect to the node A.So i enable all the network protocols for the instance MSSQLSERVER,and also enable every ip in the TCP/IP protocol,then restart the sqlserver service,but it still doesn't work.
Any advise?Thanks a lot.
I am trying to start ms sql server 2005 express as a network user from originally starting as local system. I cannot start the service.
I have given this network user administrator access to sql express from the sql server surface area configuration "Add New Administrator". I have went into the local users/groups and added this network user to the 3 security groups
SQLServer2005MSSQLServerADHelperUser$SQL1
SQLServer2005MSSQLUser$SQL1$SQLEXPRESS

EventID: 17120
SQL Server could not spawn the FRunCM thread. Check the SQL Server error log and the Windows event logs for information about possible related problems.
I don't recall assigning any sql specific certificates. The reason I'm trying to run this as a network user is because an application on a remote windows server requires it.
After starting the service back running as local system as it was before, I went into the
SQL Server Management Studio Express and edited the properties for this new network user I wish to run the service as. I gave him full access including checking all grants in securables.
I now see a bit of a difference in the event logs with these errors.
EventID: 17058
initerrlog: Could not open the log file 'c:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL1MSSQLLOGERRORLOG.' Operating system error =5(Access is denied).
I saw a notification when changing the sql server service's logon that the new network user has been granted the log on locally right.
The second and last new error is
EventID: 17053

Am trying to run SQL Server Agent with a service account which is not in the Administrators group. Have done the following -
1. Removed the service account from the Administrators group on the machine
2. Assigned sysadmin privileges to the service account
3. Added it to the SQLServer2005SQLAgentUser$ComputerName$MSSQLSERVER role
4. Through SQL Configuration Manager assigned this account to the SQL Server Agent service
However, this does not start the Agent as a service. What is it that is missing?

What can I do solve the problem?
All,
I have installed sqlserver 2005 using the standard msdn universal installation discs on my laptop running vista business.
The mssqlserver service will not start automatically as the setup configures it
and I cannot start the service manually because I get the 'Access Denied' error message
I am logged on the the computer with adminstration privileges
Thank for all help received in advance,

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
Thanks in advanced!

hi
when i try to start sql agent hang then mmc
i look the log and the problem is the mail profile
i try remove it from the property of sql agent but this hang the mmc too
can i remove this with tsql?
thanks
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!

"The SQLSERVERAGENT 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".
the SQL server service starts fine and i tryied starting the agent with the same user but it fails still.
Any ideas?
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
Well, this is very confusing.
I have 2 servers that are members of the same AD Domain.
I need an account that can login to either one, but needs to be able to start a service, which my network admin says a local domain administrator cannot do.
So, I just decided to create an account with the same name, properties and password on both machines.
This I did. The account is a member of local Windows Administrator group on each server. Additionally, it is an SQL account on the SQL Server local instance, and a member of the SysAdmin group.
I can assign this account to SQL Server as the startup account (Log in with this account). That works fine.
However, when I assign this account to SQL Server, then SQL Server Agent quits running. So I try to assign this same account to this service and I get an error that the account 'Unknown' cannot login and needs to be a member of the SysAdmin group!??
This is a completely confusing error message since the account is a Windows Admin, SQL Server SysAdmin account and can start SQL Server fine without a hitch.
Anyone else having this very annoying problem ?!
Hi all,
Please let me know what specific privileges an user account needs to be used as a LOG ON AS account for SQL Server Agent in SQL Server 2005.
Does the account needs to me in the domain administrator group?

View 6 Replies View RelatedI 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!!!!!
Two NT accounts have been created on the server.
MSSQLSERVER
MSSQLSERVERAGENT
These accounts have been given:
a. logon rights
b. unchangeable passwords
c. passwords which never expire
d. NT admin rights
Questions:
a. Do I have to create a login account within SQL Server 7 itself for these accounts?
b. Must the properties for "this account' box on the general tab include the domain name?
c. If the answer to (b) is yes, then can I use ".MSSQLSERVERAGENT" in the "this account"
box on the general tab?
d. Does the SQL Server Agent function require the "BUILTINadministrators" login in order
to work?
Any help in figuring out why I can't get my SQL Server Agent to startup will be appreciated!!
Hi,
I have a job in SQL Server agent with 199 SSIS steps and growing. In the job log only 99 steps are shown, which is a problem if a step higher than 99 fails to run. I need the steps to run in sequence and preferable would like to split the job into several jobs each containing no more than 99 steps. The only thing I don't know is if it is possible to have the next job in sequence start only when the previous job has finished.
Does anyone know if this is possible, and if so how it is done?
Many thanks,
Paul
I have a client server application and it is running in the following configuration: SERVER A: MS Server2003 with MS SQL2000, Our ERP application software is installed on this server as is MS SQL200.
Server B: is our e-commerce server and it is running MS Windows2000 server OS and no MS SQL. The e-commerce application is pointed to the active SQL server on server A. I am trying to run a software version upgrade on on software application (which was successfully run on server A) When we try to run this upgrade on server B we get a message: " Setup is unable to start MS SQL Server Services, please start and try again"
I do not understand what is going on with this. SQL & SQL Service Agent is running on Server A. Any suggestions as to what I need to do?

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
