SQL Server Agent Not Starting Properly

Aug 15, 2000

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.

Has anyone seen this behaviour before??

Thanks in advance

SQL Agent Not Starting Properly

Sep 28, 1999

We have SQL Server 7.0 running on an NT 4.0 sp5 box. Whenever we stop the SQL Server Service, we get the message that SQL Agent will also be stopped. If we do this, all the services seem to stop fine, but when we try to start the SQL Server Agent Service back up, it won't let us. In order for it to restart, we have to reboot the server so that it starts 'automatically'. Does anyone have any ideas as to why this is?

Access Denied Starting SQL Server Agent

Mar 5, 2007

I've been struggling to figure out how to set the "Log on as" login for a SQL Server agent that isn't a member of the Administrators group.

Is this even possible? No matter what policy settings I assign the the user, I get an access denied error when I try to start the SQL Server Agent service. If that user is part of the administrators group, there are no errors.

I have no problems with other services and "log on as" logins...

SQL Agent Not Starting

Feb 12, 2002

The SQLAgent service was modified to login as a domain account. SQLAgent would not start. I made sure that the account was in the Admin group on the server, I setup the account as a System Administrator in SQL. I made sure that the network protocols in Client Network Utiliity and Server Network Utility where the same as other servers using the domain account. The message I'm getting is...

SQLServerAgent could not be started (reason: Unable to connect to server; SQLServerAgent cannot start).

I modified the properties for SQLAgent back to login as local account and I still get the same problem.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

SQL Agent Not Starting At All

Mar 28, 2007

I am unable to get SQL Agent service to run under the same domain name that my SQL Server service is running under. It will start and continue to run when Server and Agent are both ran under the Local Account. But once the services are switched over to the domain account, the Server starts, but the Agent fails. The domain user has administrative rights on the server, along with admin rights to the SQL instance.

Here is the event log.

Event Type: Error
Event Source: SQLSERVERAGENT
Event Category: Service Control
Event ID: 103
Date: 3/28/2007
User: N/A
Computer: SQL2
Description: SQLServerAgent could not be started (reason: SQLServerAgent must be able to connect to the SQL Server as SysAdmin, but '(Unknown)' is not a member of the SysAdmin role).

Any help would be greatly appreciated or links to threads with answers.

SQL 7 Cluster - Starting SQL Agent

Sep 18, 2002

How do you start SQL Agent? MS states not to start thru Service Manager as it may corrupt registry. There is no Resource for SQL Agent in 7.0 cluster. The service is down, need to start to get jobs to run. I've just checked (enabled) the properties so Agent will start on O/S reboot or start after Unexpected stop. How do I get it start in the meantime?
Thanks!

Delay Starting SSIS Package Via SQL Agent

Feb 20, 2008

Hi

All my SSIS packages consistently take 1 minute to start when they are scheduled via the SQL Agent.

For example, a package runs in 20 seconds in the BI Studio. I transfer it to the SQL server and store it in MSDB. I then run it manually from SSMS - Integration Services and it takes 20 seconds. I then schedule it via a job in the SQL Agent and it takes 1 minute 20 seconds.

I can see from some simple logging that there is consistently a delay of 1 minute between the job starting and the package starting.

I have also switched every occurrence possible of DelayValidation to TRUE in all my packages and tasks. All this did was reduce the package run time from 27 seconds to 20 - the 1 minute delay still exists.

This happens on all my packages on all my servers. Any ideas.....?


Thanks

Delay In Package Starting When Running From SQL Agent

Jul 19, 2006

Hi,

I wonder if anybody can shed any light on this problem. I have a SQL Agent job which has three steps, each step runs an SSIS package.

The job is scheduled to start at 11.00 pm, which is does successfully. However, it has been taking between 2 and 3 hours to run, which is way longer than it should.

When I've looked at the logging, I've found that the although the job starts at 11.00 pm, the first package (in job step 1) does not start executing until about 11.30. It finishes in about 5 minutes, there is then about an hour delay before the second package (in job step 2) starts. This finishes in about 10 minutes, then there is another hour delay before the third package (in job step 3) starts.

I've tried configuring the steps as SSIS jobs, and also as cmd jobs using dtexec, both exhibit the same behaviour.

Any ideas about what could be causing this delay? The packages are stored in msdb on the same server as the SQL Agent job, if that makes any difference.

Thanks,

Sam

Difference In Starting Rep Service Vs. Stopping And Starting The Rep Job?

Feb 1, 2007

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?



Thanks!

Execute Sql Server Agent Job Task - Job Immediately Returns Success... However Agent Job Is Still Running???

Nov 30, 2006

when I run a package from a command window using dtexec, the job immediately says success.
DTExec: The package execution returned DTSER_SUCCESS (0).
Started: 3:37:41 PM
Finished: 3:37:43 PM
Elapsed: 2.719 seconds



However the Job is still in th agent and the status is executing. The implications of this are not good. Is this how the sql server agent job task is supposed to work by design.



Thanks,

Larry

SQL Server WILL NOT Import Properly From Excel!!

Aug 3, 2004

ARRGGH, I'm going to kill Excel or SQL Server!! I've spent an hour on this and I can't get it working. I'm importing some address data, and several of the zip codes are importing as NULL, even though in the Excel sheet, they look fine! Excel is complaining, something about the zip codes are numbers entered as text..whatever.. so I edited my SQL import and made it so the ZIP field gets created as varchar 50 instead of float. It still won't import right.

Someone please tell me what I'm doing wrong.

How To Setup Link Server Properly

Sep 5, 2007



Hi,

I want to access another database seating on another server so I configured the Linked server with SQL Server as the server type. I set the security as NT_AUTHORITYSYSTEM and checked the Impersonate. In Server Options, I set the RPC Out to true then I clicked ok.

I got this error:

An exception occurred while executing a Transact-SQL statement or batch. (Microsoft.SqlServer.ConnectionInfo)

The OLE DB Provider "SQLNCLI" for linked server "server1" reported an error. Authentication failed.
Cannot initialize the datasource object of OLE DB Provider "SQLNCLI" for linked server "server1".

OLE DB Provider "SQLNCLI" for linked server "server1" returned message "Invalid authorization specification". (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 7399)


Note that my NT login is added as "Administrators" on the Server i want to connect to.

Have I missed anything?
