SQL Server instance will not start

  • I have 2 instances of SQL Server running on my W2k Server. I can no longer start the default instance, and I get the response

    "Could not start the MSSQLSERVER service on Local Computer. The service did not return an error. This could be an internal Windows error or an internal service error."

    About the same time I also had a problem where IIS stopped working and the only way I could resolve that was uninstall and reinstall several times. I have had to reinstall SQL Server before because of the same error response, but there is now too much to lose to go that route again. A search on the Internet for this error turned up a post somewhere else where someone indicated changing domains could be related. I'm not sure about this, but I have used this machine on another LAN recently.

    I find it confusing that the second instance still runs. This is a development and testing server that I use as standalone most of the time, so the second instance is to simulate a linked server for one project I'm working on.

    Can anyone help?

  • Sorry, I seem to have posted this in the wrong forum. I have reposted this question in the Administration section for all versions of SQL Server .

  • Hi

     

    Can you send more details , such as errorlog , to verify the problem ?
