The SQL Server Agent process is running. When I use EM to start a database integrity
check job, it fails with an error message of 22029 and the following:
[LOG] SQLServerAgent security context does not have server-autorestart privileges
I can not find error 22029 in Books on Line. I will go to Microsoft Knowledge base
and research this problem.
In the mean time if someone can help, it is much appreciated.
Thanks to all.
After upgrading a server from SQL 2000 to SQL 2005, I can't get any SQL Agent jobs to run, giving logon failed messages. MSSQLSERVER and SQLSERVERAGENT services are set up to run as the same domain account which has administrative rights to the server and is a SQL login with the sysadmin role. For basic testing purposes, I created a test job that all it does is run a T-SQL command 'SELECT @@VERSION'. The job is also set to run as the same account that the Agent is running under. Below are the logs (with trace messages on) from the point of starting the Agent to my attempt to run the job (user and server names have been changed to protect the innocent):

I can not get SQLServerAgent to Send Mail. Help!
SQLMail started successfully.
In the server agent properties I use the Test button and I receive the
response.
"Successfully started(and stopped) a mail session with this profile."
Indicating that mail should work.
If I send a email notification from a scheduled job it gives me the error:
NOTE: Failed to notify 'operations' via email
In the SQL Server Agent Error log I get.
"[264] An attempt was made to send an email when no email session has been
established"
xp_sendmail works fine.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
TIA...
Today when I came into work, I noticed all of my jobs failed on a particular server. I tried to manually kick off the packages, but to no avail. Both the job history and the error message from the packages state a timeout error.
Any idea on this? Also, I have no problem running a query from query analyzer...even on a remote machine.
Any help would be appreciated

All my DTS scheduled Jobs fail after I installed SQL SP3. But if I run the DTS package from Enterprise Manager it executes successfully.
Here is one of the errors:
The job failed. The Job was invoked by Schedule 7 (dtsImportCustomers_0001). The last step to run was step 1 (dtsImportCustomers_0001).
and
Executed as user: SQLADM. DTSRun: Loading... Process Exit Code 1. The step failed.
Thanks for your help!
Hello,
It is our yearly procedure to change the sa password.
This time we do it for the first time in ss2005.
After changing the sa password, all jobs fail with the following error:
MessageLogin failed for user 'sa'. [CLIENT: <local machine>]
MessageError: 18456, Severity: 14, State: 8.
When i check the properties of the job i can see (in the general tab) that all jobs are running through Windows authentication.
Any newly created jobs run successfull.
What do i do wrong?
Any help is appreciated.
Best regards,
Harry
Please refer me to a good article for creating alerts for sql jobs failure. Thanks a lot.
View 1 Replies View RelatedRunning MSSQL 2000 on Windows2000 in an NT domain. We have several jobs created by the web assistant wizard. They run along just fine for days or weeks, then all of a sudden SOME of them (?!) begin to fail with the message "Unable to perform a SETUSER to the requested username 'dbo' because the username is invalid for database 'xxx'" where xxx is of course the db where the proc resides. SQLAgent service is running as a domain admin and has not changed; job is owned by sa and has not changed; the domain admin in question is in sa role and has not changed. Something sure has changed, but what? Sometimes when this happens we can clear it up by deleting the web job and simply re-creating it. Today we have three culprits and none of our usual tricks are working. Why does this happen? How can we fix it? How can we PREVENT it! Thanks for any words of wisdom out there.
View 1 Replies View RelatedHi 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

After observing brute force attacks on our VPS myhosting instance against the SA login, I change the SA login name. Now my two new backup jobs are failing. The agent service logs in as NT ServiceSQLSERVERAGENT. Nothing changed there (so far as I know and I'm the only one who should be on the VPS). The job owner was SA and after changing the SA account that was reflected in the SSMS gui; job owner 'newsaname'. I'm sure I can just rebuild the maintenance plans but I'd like to know what happened.
Also, I would like to learn more about the brute force attacks and how to determine what port they are comming in on. I see an IP address associated with them. Does that mean they are coming in on 1433 or 1434?

Hi,
I am new to this forum and new to SQL, hope someone can help me. TIA
I have SQL 2000 running on the windows 2000 server. The program reside on the E drive and the data reside on the D drive, my system files drive C got corrupted and gave me the blue screen of death, so I had to reload it from back up, but in doing so, my SQL "Local" default instance fail to load after I got the server back up and running. My other instances are running fine except for the Local. Is their a way to bring that back? or do I have to reload SQL default instance ?
Thanks

On SQL Server, when I start the Analysis services, the error message is : The SQL Server Analysis Services (MSSQLSERVER) 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.
Why is that? That is really frustrated and please any of you give me any advices or help on it. Thanks a lot in advance.

I'm trying to figure out a way to automatically restart the SQL Agent service when an AG fails over to a secondary node. I've created a job on each AG node that runs every 15 seconds and detects when a fail over has happened. It then issues a SQL Agent stop command and then a SQL Agent start command. The problem is that once the stop command happens the start command never fires because the SQL Agent is now stopped.

View 3 Replies View RelatedWe have SQL Server 2000 Standard and recently moved from Exchange 5.5to Exchange 2003. This problem occurred both before and after thee-mail change.We would like to send notifications of failed jobs to multiple peoplein case one person happens not to be in on the day there is a problem.Setting up an operator with an e-mail name that combines twoaddresses seems to work ok as long as we use a format like thefollowing:smith_john; jones_maryorJoin Bytes!; Join Bytes!However, when we add a third name, we start getting problems. Thefirst and third accounts listed get the message but the second onedoes not -- apparently because the address gets corrupted. Forexample (based on the message received at one of the good addresses),a message sent to:Join Bytes!; Join Bytes!;Join Bytes!goes to Smith and Jackson successfully but Jones' address is corruptedto:Join Bytes!omand, of course, fails.From some other testing, it appears that the last three characters ofthe first address always get appended to the end of the secondaddress.Has anyone else run across this?

Hi All,
I am not able to see any of the jobs in the enterprise manager that are scheduled on one of our production servers. Have any body seen this type of behaviour of SQL server.. The jobs are there in the SQL as I can query sysjobs table to see there entry.. The jobs are being executed properly when they are supposed to..
Thanks

Hi Guys,
Can you please advice me on if there is a limitation on SQL agent Jobs. If then how many jobs can SQL server accomedate.
If there is a limit, then is there are any ways to increase it?
I appreciate your quick response.
Thanks
I have several users that are a member
of a Windows Nt group. I want to be
able to allow this group to create,
update, and delete SQL Agent Jobs.
But I do not want them to be members
of the SYSADMIN role.
Everything that I have found states
that they must be members of this
server role to perform these actions.
Does anyone have an idea on how to
accomplish this? or point me in some
kind of direction to explore.

Hello all,
we just moved our databases over from a SQL 2000 server onto a new SQL 2005 server. We had no problem migrating them over, but was wondering if there was a way to migrate the jobs over as well. We have about 20 of them and would prefer not to hav to create them all again on the new server.

Hi,
This is the situation:
There are around 300 jobs on the server. The server shutsdown abnormally and is not functional for let's say 2 hours. After the server is back on, I need to find what jobs had to start during the server was down.
Is there a way to get this list? I tried to write an SQL script that tells me the needed information, but the job schedule sheme is so complex that it would take too much time in developing such SQL script. Maybe anybody has a better solution, or has already made a similar script?
ThankYou.
Hi Group,
Is it possible to schedule and execute sql jobs from an asp page.
I am developing an application that requires an administration section. In this section the admin would like to change / update the schedule of the sql job and also run the jobs ad hoc. Basicall y they would like the functionality of sql agen in enterprise manager to be available from their web application.
Has anbody done this before ?
All information / solutions shall be psoted back to the group as I reckon this would be pretty useful functionality.
Thanks in advance

Hello,
I need to document all SQL Server Agent Jobs with full description of dependencies - database, table, stored procedure, etc.
Is there are a tool that I can download for that particular use???
Thank you so much
I have a job with a single ActiveX step that I have setup and am having problems running.
If i set the SQL Server Agent to run as an Administrator then my job processes fine however under the default setup which has the SQL Server Agent running as Local System I get an error.
I assume this is permissions problem so I created a basic windows user called ABC. I then created a credential called ABC linked to the windows user ABC. I then created a proxy that uses the credential ABC and then ticked the box that allows the proxy to run ActiveX scripts. I then set the ABC as a principle of the proxy.
I then set my single job step to be run under the ABC credential.
Still no luck. This is the first time i've worked with this sort of thing so I'm not sure if I'm going about it in the right way.
Please explain how i can have a job that runs as an active X script. I understand running sql server agent as administrator is bad for security so what are the alternatives?
in reference to both MSSQL 2k8R2 and 2012, if i have a named instance AND a default instance on the same installation, and i create agent jobs (backups, indexing, etc) on either one, those same jobs appear on the "other" instance without having actually created them while logged IN to that instance.
Is this a normal feature of MSSQL? Doesn't seem like it should be happening that way.
I created an agent job, and it runs fine, but I want more control over the scheduling. I need to schedule jobs to run Sunday through
Thursday at 8:00pm, skipping Friday.
How can I use the agent job interface and customize the schedule this way? Will I have to resort to a Windows Service and control the
scheduling that way?
I’m trying to write a script that will detect long running agent jobs.
Having looked at this article:
http://www.databasejournal.com/features/mssql/article.php/3500276
It appears that agent job job id’s don’t necessarily get stored in the programname of the sysprocesses table. This is true if the agent executes an os command. It also appears that job steps do not get stored in the sysjobhistory until the step is complete so that cannot be used accurately.
Does anyone know of an effective way to find if there are long running jobs other than these methods?
I have about 20 agent jobs.
