  • what's your OS?

  • Hi Sourav,

    Try to start the SQL Server Engine and service accounts by making them local admin.

    Thank You,

  • Make sure whatever account you set the services for SQL and SQL Agent are in the "Administrators" group of the local server. You might be using a domain account that has little to no rights as well as no "Log in as service" rights.

  • Thanks Guys, for all your suggestion.

    However, what are the best points u had mentioned, I followed everything before-hand itself. No Luck so far.

    OS installed to the server: Windows Server 2003 SP2.

    Any further recommendations...?

    Thanks.
