SQL server agent was stopped with "Agent XPs disabled". But restarted automaticaly after some time.

  • Experts,

    I restarted one of our SQL Server Service.

    After restarting the service, SQL server agent was stopped with "Agent XPs disabled" next to it and I was not able to start it. (One of the database was "In Recovery" status, and became available after 15 mnts, I dont know if it has anything to do with it.). Anyway I referred the below link for Sql Server Agent issue.

    Thing is that I didn't do anything at all. But the SQL server Agent was started automatically after some time. I really don't understand how it started automatically when I have not changed any settings.

    Has anyone had any such experience ?.

    Thanks,

    Smith.

    Did you check SQL Agent Log to learn exactly what happened?
