Hi Sindhu,

In SQL Server Express there is no SQL Server Agent, so you cannot schedule jobs the same way as in its other editions. What you can do however, is to use sqlcmd with the Windows Task Scheduler. Another alternative is "Express Agent", it is a paid extension to SQL Server Express by Vale.

Hi, Sidh

u can install SQLScheduler for SQL Express. SQLScheduler is a tool to run scheduler job in SQL Express.

180 days trial? Ah. Definitely it should not be SQL Server Express Edition. Have a look at the "SQL Server Configuration Manager" and also check the edition.
