  • Are there any entries in the logs? Start with the SQL Error Logs and then move to the Windows Logs.

  • Through which account your agent service is running.

    check that account has sysadmins rights?

  • They were few errors in the .Notified windows admins to look into the logs .

    Event Logs :

    The description for Event ID '0' in Source '' cannot be found. The local computer may not have the necessary registry information or message DLL files to display the message, or you may not have permission to access them.

    Yes,Account has sysadmin rights.Both Sql Server services and agent are running through the same domain account .I dont have any issues with the Sql server services.Everything was running fine untill the server was rebooted few days ago .

    Thanks,

  • Is msdb database working fine?

  • If nothing is reported in the SQL error log when the instance starts have you tried just making changes just to the SQL Agent service through SQL Server Configuration Manager to start eliminating possibilities? Tried setting the SQL Agent to use the local system account? Set the agent to use a new domain account? A new local account?

  • The clue to the problem might just be in the error message

    [097] Memory leak detected [204 bytes]

    Exception 5 caught at line 403 of file e:\sql9_sp2_t\sql\komodo\src\core\sqlagent\src\alerter.cpp. SQLServerAgent

    My reading of the message is that SQL Agent has detected a memory leak in a third-party component called alerter.cpp. This could be supplied with the komodo ide or be a locally developed product. Try Googling 'Mark Russinovich memory leak' for a step by step guide on how to detect if a memory leak is happening and the module causing it.
