SQL Server Agent no longer starting

  • Our sql server is running fine for several years, suddenly the SQL Agent does not start anymore.

    On 08-06-2007 the agent dies with the event:

    Event ID: 7034, The SQLSERVERAGENT service terminated unexpectedly.  It has done this 1 time(s).

    I can't find any logging concerning this crash.

    If I start the Agent I get two messages in the eventlog:

    Eventid: 7009, Timeout (30000 milliseconds) waiting for the SQLSERVERAGENT service to connect.

    Event ID: 7000, The SQLSERVERAGENT service failed to start due to the following error:

    The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion.

    In SQLAgent.out these are the last entries:

  • 1. Have you changed the MSSQLServer startup account &.or password?

    2. Does the SQL Server login BUILTIN\Administrators exist? If so, does it

    have master as the default database and sysadmin privileges if no please do grant it.

    3.Did you update your server or register any new dll or installed any new software ?
