SQL Server agent services has stopped

  • Hi folks

    By looking at the configuration tool, I have seen my sql server agent service has stopped? But doing start its not responding. Please help.

    Thanks

  • What does the Windows event log say?

  • It says "SQLServerAgent could not be started (reason: Unable to connect to server '(local)'; SQLServerAgent cannot start)."

    One thing more on which option I have to select the agent service type like local, system and network services.

    Please recommend.

    Thanks

  • What is in the SQLAgent.OUT file? You can find the location by right-clicking on SQL Server Agent and choosing Properties.

  • SQLAGENT.OUT file showing this message " ODBC Error: 0, Data source name not found and no default driver specified [SQLSTATE IM002] ".

  • OK, paste that into your favourite search engine - you should get quite a few suggestions.
