Unable To Start SQL Server Agent

Oct 15, 1999

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

SQL Server 2008 :: Unable To Start Agent Due To Blocked Access

Jun 28, 2015

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.

SQL 2012 :: Agent Job History Shows Step Still Running But Shows Start And End Times?

Jul 1, 2015

I have a SQL Agent job that runs at 4:15 in the morning. The job has 5 steps, each step only runs if the preceding step succeeds. The second step, which calls an SSIS package that does the main processing, appears to finish as it goes on to the next step; however, when looking in 'View History' there are 2 entries for this step - the first one shows it as still running (Circled Green Arrow) but with a start and end time. The second entry says the job succeeded.

I have been seeing conflicts, such as deadlocks, with later jobs. I suspect this job is causing the conflicts - maybe the package is still running in the background instead of having actually completed?

what conditions a job step my be showing in the job history as both running AND completed successfully?

Snapshot Agent && Log Reader Agent Will Not Start.

Nov 30, 2006

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.

Cannot Start Log Reader Agent And Snapshot Agent

May 18, 2007

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

SQL Agent Does Not Start

Nov 16, 2007

I changed my server's service account to Domainsqladmin and the service started successfully.

I did the same for SQL Agent but the service starts and stops. In Event Viewer saw this error:

SQLServerAgent could not be started (reason: SQLServerAgent must be able to connect to SQLServer as SysAdmin, but '(Unknown)' is not a member of the SysAdmin role).

I checked Logins under under security in SSMS and the Domainsqladmin is a member of SysAdmin roles. What's wrong?

SQL Agent Fails To Start

Apr 8, 2001

I'm trying to set up SQL 7 for replication, so I set SQLAgent to start automatically, same as SQL Server itself. SQL Server starts fine, but SQL Agent "fails to connect in a reasonable time" according to the Event log (3000 milliseconds).

Can you suggest how I go about fixing this? They both are using valid logins, so I don't know what else could be wrong.

Advice appreciated!

Log Reader Agent Won't Start

Jun 22, 2004

We restored a database with replicated tables. Now, the Log Reader Agent will not run. This displays:
"The process could not execute 'sp_repldone/sp_replcounters' on 'ourservername'."
In Error Details for the agent:
"The process could not set the last distributed transaction."
And, from the logs:
"ForwardLogBlockReadAheadAsync: Operating system error 998(Invalid access to memory location.) encountered."

Does anyone know how we get the Distribution database and the Log Reader running again?
It is only affecting Transactional replication (not snapshot or merge).

Snapshot Agent Won't Start

Mar 11, 2008

Hi guys,

I'm trying to set up merge replication between a SQL Server 2000 SP4 / Win2k box and a MSDE SP4/WinXP box and I'm finding that the initial snapshot isn't being produced.

The SQL Agent runs as a windows user that has admin privileges, the snapshot agent impersonates the SQL Agent. The SQL Server login for the agent account has the server role "System Administrators" and database access to all db's.

When I turn on logging and try to start the agent, the following is written to the log:
Microsoft SQL Server Snapshot Agent 8.00.760
Copyright (c) 2000 Microsoft Corporation
Microsoft SQL Server Replication Agent: SVRName-POS-POS_Test_Suburb-1

Connecting to Distributor 'SVRName'
SourceTypeId = 5
SourceName = SVRName
ErrorCode = 18456
ErrorText = Login failed for user 'SVRNameSQLAgent'.
The process could not connect to Distributor 'SVRName'.

Most of the posts I've seen regarding problems like this are due to subscriber authentication issues (not up to that, this is the initial snapshot) or windows/domain user permissions.

Any ideas what else it might be?

I have installed the MSDE and use mixed mode authenticaton.
The SQL Server Agent will not start due to login failures.
Normally, I would use the Enterprise Manager Managment wizard to

Can anyone tell me how to achieve this using OSQL?

Not Able To Start Agent Service

We came across a biggg issue with SQL Agent service on one of our SQL Server 2012 production servers. Suddenly, it stopped working.

SQL Server Agent Won't Start

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!

SQL Server Agent Did Not Auto-start

Nov 19, 2007

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

Replication Distribution Agent Does Not Start

Jul 20, 2005

Hi,For some magical reason, my database replication has suddenly stoppedworking. I modified the publication but the Distribution agent willnot run; the snapshot does not get applied to the subscriber, andchanges made at the publisher do not get replicated.My configuration is: Transactional Replication with a 'Pull'Subscription. The Subscriber is Updateable with Immediate UpdatesOnly. All created via the SQL Server Enterprise Manager. Both thePublisher and Subscriber are on the same server. I'm running SQLServer 2000 (8.00.760 SP3), on Windows 2000 Server (5.0 (2195)).I manually run the snapshop agent. It runs fine with the status'Succeeded' and the Last Action is 'A Snapshot of X article(s) wasgenerated'.When I look at the distribution agent, things start to get a bitconfusing in ( <SERVERNAME>/Replication Monitor/ Publishers/<SERVERNAME?>/ Publication/ Subscription), the status staysconstantly at 'Never Started'. All other columns are either blank or0. When I right click over the subscription, both Start Synchronisingand Stop Synchronising are NOT greyed out. If I click on either StartSynchronising or Stop Synchronising (absolutely) nothing happens(except the mouse turns 'busy' for a fraction of a second). There areno error messages.I added -output c:sqlout.txt -outputverboselevel 3 to thedistribution agent command. C:sqlout.txt did not get created.It worked fine up to a couple of days ago. I'm not sure exactly whatcaused the problem, as I made a few changes at the same time. Thechanges included: adding a new transactional publication, adding morearticles to an existing transaction publication, and adding a mergepublication. I've tried to go back to the set up before I made thechanges, even disabling replication and starting again from scratch.Still the problem persists.The owner of the distribution agent has dbo permissions in both thepublishing and subscribing database. Under 'Publisher and DistributorProperties' I've set the 'Replication Agent Connection to Publisher'and 'Agent Connection to the Subscriber' both to Use SQL ServerAuthentication, both with the same account that has dbo permissions inboth publishing and subscribing database.Has anybody come across this problem before? Can anybody make anysuggestions? Thanks in advance for your help.RegardsDamian HelmeIS ManagerINTEC Engineering (UK) Ltd.

Cannot Get SQL Server Agent To Start Using New Account... Why?

Feb 28, 2007

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 ?!
