SQLServer Services restared

  • Hi,

    When I checked the sp_helpdb, came to know that SQLServer serives were restarted [tempdb re-created] and there was no server rebooted.

    Found the logs as below.

    Configuration option 'show advanced options' changed from 1 to 0. Run the RECONFIGURE statement to install.

    Configuration option 'Agent XPs' changed from 1 to 0. Run the RECONFIGURE statement to install.

    Configuration option 'show advanced options' changed from 0 to 1. Run the RECONFIGURE statement to install.

    Please advise how to find who restared the services and what might be the cause behind this change?

    Thanks and Regards,

    Ravi.

    You will be able to see it in the Windows System Event Log. Look for Event ID 7035 with text like "The SQL Server (<instance name>) service was successfully sent a stop control.".

    EDIT: if you do not find that a person restarted it, you may have a crash on your hands, in which case you should see messages to that effect around the time of the restart in the System or Application Event Logs

  • We had somethig similar to this on one of our systems. Apparently SQL Server had crashed due to memory issues. We saw several Out of Memory errors thrown by another applciation on the same box just before Agent XPs was disabled and SQL Server service failed.
