cannot start sql server agent...

    ahhh, ok scratch that last comment, hadnt seen you response.

    Sounds stupid and im grasping at straws now but are they both defined in the same way in services.

    I have a similar issues on one of my desktop instances (which i havent had time to look into), where each time i restart the machine the agent fails to log in, BUT if i re-do the login section of services, it works until i restart.

    When you say, "redo the login section of services", do you mean you go in and re-enter login and password?

    Yeah. Strange huh!

    That is strange...sounds like some cache thing. I recall reading something about how the old passwords can get stuck somewhere ... but, I can't find the article...

  • I, along with a system admin here, opened a ticket with Microsoft yesterday. We were on the phone with them for 3.5 hours and still no luck. I will be sure to respond when we find the solution.

    If anyone else has any ideas in the mean time - feel free to share. 🙂

  • There are a few posts out there to say that their .Net Framework was corrupt. I tested on our dev server, and going to Control Panels -- Add/Remove Program -- click on Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 Service Pack 1 -- Click on "Click here for more support information" -- click Repair.

    Does anyone know what all is affected if I repair the .NET Framework? Can I perform this while there are active connections? Any tips?

  • I thought I would post an update. Sql Server Agent is still unable to start. I did not try the .NET Framework update as we are unsure of the consequences.

    A couple other things to note:

    1. I am not able to create a trace via SQL Profiler using a windows login - can only get through with a sql login. I have tried multiple windows logins - including domain admins.

    Sorry to report that we did not find a solution for this problem. We needed to upgrade our servers, so, this problem disappeared after upgrading and re-installing SQL Server.

  • Thanks. I have solved my problem. I was just a stupid misspell in the Agent connection properties (Alias Local Host Server)... 🙂
