SQL Agent wont start after a SQL 2012 install

Ive been trying for several days to install an instance of SQL 2012 on a server, but im having this problem where when the instance is created, the SQL Agent shows 'Agent XPs disabled'.  
I have enabled this using sp_configure 'Agent XPs',1 
But when I turn on the agent it stays on for about 30 seconds and then turns off again. (It is 2012 enterprise i am using)
The agent service account is an administrator on the Server. I have installed SP1, but the agent keeps failing. I have installed 7 or 8 times.
Please help!
Thanks,
Zoe

    Hello,
    As mentioned by jmcmullen, SQL Server Agent is a feature not available on SQL Server Express Edition.
    Try the following workaround.

  • Z1 wont start after stick firmware was installed

    I had some problems with the current version of my Xperia Z1 and decided that I needed to install the stock firmware. I downloaded the standard and advised Flashtools and installed the stock firmware. After attempting to turn the phone on, the following screens appeared. The "Sony" logo appears, then the "Xperia" logo appears, and then the swirly ribbons move from left to right on the screen, and suddenly they stop moving and it goes back to the "Sony" logo screen and the entire process repeats. I don't really know what to do now, either to install a different firmware or maybe is there a program that resets the phone by simply connecting it to the USB. The problem is, the phone wont start. Help will be highly appriciated.

    Download SUS:

    Charge the phone for at least 2 hours,repair with SUS.
    All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us - J.R.R. Tolkien

  • SSMS wont start after Installing SQLServer

    Hello,
     After SSMS wont start after updating VS2012. I have unistallled and installed a number of times but the error message I keep getting indicates that Visual Studio shell Isolated is missing. I have tried to install this directly from the set up dvd but
    no success.
    Also I noticed that VSShell is missing in the C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\120\Tools\Binn.
    I am assuming that this has something to do with it.
    Can someone please tell me how to fix this?
    Thank you.

  • Safari wont start after i installed avi player any suggestions?

    safari wont start after i installed a avi player any suggestions?

    You may have installed the "VSearch" trojan. Remove it as follows.
    Malware is always changing to get around the defenses against it. These instructions are valid as of now, as far as I know. They won't necessarily be valid in the future. Anyone finding this comment a few days or more after it was posted should look for more recent discussions or start a new one.
    Back up all data before proceeding.
    Step 1
    From the Safari menu bar, select
              Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
    Uninstall any extensions you don't know you need, including any that have the word "Spigot," "Trovi," or "Conduit" in the description. If in doubt, uninstall all extensions. Do the equivalent for the Firefox and Chrome browsers, if you use either of those.
    Reset the home page and default search engine in all the browsers, if it was changed.
    Step 2
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    /Library/LaunchAgents/com.vsearch.agent.plist
    Right-click or control-click the line and select
              Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
    from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item named "com.vsearch.agent.plist" selected. Drag the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password.
    Repeat with each of these lines:
    /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.vsearch.daemon.plist
    /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.vsearch.helper.plist
    Restart the computer and empty the Trash. Then delete the following items in the same way:
    /Library/Application Support/VSearch
    /System/Library/Frameworks/VSearch.framework
    ~/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/ConduitNPAPIPlugin.plugin
    Some of these items may be absent, in which case you'll get a message that the file can't be found. Skip that item and go on to the next one.
    The problem may have started when you downloaded and ran an application called "MPlayerX." That's the name of a legitimate free movie player, but the name is also used fraudulently to distribute VSearch. If there is an item with that name in the Applications folder, delete it, and if you wish, replace it with the genuine article from mplayerx.org.
    This trojan is often found on illegal websites that traffic in pirated content such as movies. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect more of the same, and worse, to follow.
    You may be wondering why you didn't get a warning from Gatekeeper about installing software from an unknown developer, as you should have. The reason is that the Internet criminal behind VSearch has a codesigning certificate issued by Apple, which causes Gatekeeper to give the installer a pass. Apple could revoke the certificate, but as of this writing has not done so, even though it's aware of the problem. This failure of oversight has compromised both Gatekeeper and the Developer ID program. You can't rely on Gatekeeper alone to protect you from harmful software.
    *If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination  command-C. In the Finder, select
              Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

  • Intel imac wont start after changing permission

    intel imac wont start after i changed my hard drive permission to let me read and write, then i clicked apply to all enclosed files.i turned it off no problem. then it never started up again in os x. the grey screen with apple logo appears,then after a minute it restarts, and will keep doing that if i let it. i can start up in windows xp, but i dont know how to do anything in windows xp that will affect os x. i can use the hard drive in target mode, but i cant figure out how that can help me. i use a macbook to view target disk. ive spent hours looking through help and support. finally i do not have the os install disks. PLEASE HELP!

    My apologies for the inept instructions.
    Restart normally. Open Terminal in the Utilities folder. Paste the commands in the Terminal application to avoid typos:
    sudo su
    Press RETURN. Enter your admin password when prompted.  It will not be echoed to the screen. Press RETURN again. Now paste each of the following at the prompt and press RETURN after each.
    chown root:admin /Applications
    chmod 0775 /Applications
    chown root:admin /Library
    chmod 1775 /Library
    chown root:admin /System
    chmod 0775 /System

  • Portege Z930-118 wont start after BIOS update

    my PORTG Z930-118 failover and wont start after i upgrading in middle of upgrade i remove power and press shutdown bottom after that i see the power and wireless but screen still black ?
    Any help please

    Hmmmm.... BIOS upgrade interruption has screwed up BIOS and thats the reason why your notebook doesn't start properly. BIOS is damaged now.
    In such case you need professional help by authorized Toshiba service provider.
    On this forum you can find many threads about similar problems. Some people have tried to fix this alone and if you are interested to read how one other forum user has fixed it check please this thread.
    Ayway, you can contact nearest Toshiba service, explain the situation and ask for help.

  • 770-G45 wont start after ShutDown

    Recently installed MSI 770-G45, problem starts when i regulary shutdown comp. from WinXP or Win7 64-bit.Computer wont start after that, like ther is no power, fans dont spin, no bips, NOTHING. I got to unplug power cord and plugg it again into psu, after that it starts normaly.
    Strange thing is that computer starts normally when i manualy shutdown system(holding the power button on the case).There is no exception, starts perfectly evry time after manual shutdown, no need to unplugg powercord.
    Rest of my components> Phenom II X2 555BE, Kingston 2GB 1333mhz, Sapphire 5770, HDD WD 250gb,PSU Corsair TX 650w.
    Tried to change power cord, tried other PSU, other case (tought its maybe power button but no), changed mobo battery, installed several OS versions (XP, Win7) and still dont have solution.
    MS 7599 ver. 2.0
    Bios version 10.2
    MoBo is new bought it 3 days ago.
    PLEASE HELP!!!!!

    First: It is important to clear CMOS after a BIOS update. Unplug power cable before the clearing, as there can be no power in the system
    Second: Rebuild the system, but outside the case. Use only PSU, motherboard, processor, one stick of memory and graphics card. If it works better then, you may have a short, from a stand-off too many, or poorly isolated wire somewhere.
    But I second it sounds like a motherboard problem. You'd better contact the one who sold it to you.
    Oh, an oldie thing! You will need to install Windows again, with the new motherboard and all.

  • Retrieve SQL Agent Process ID via T-SQL below SQL Server 2008 R2 SP1.

    Dear Folks,
    I have to retrieve the process ID of SQL Agent (as shown in Configuration Manager) via T-SQL Script. It can be easily retrieved in SQL Server 2008 R2 SP1 or above using 'sys.dm_server_services'
    DMV. But I have to retrieve it in SQL Server 2008 R2 RTM and above DMV was not introduced in it. Using XP_cmdshell 'tasklist' is useless as well, as it doesn't reflect the instance specific details of SQLAgent process. Please Suggest the solution. Thanks in
    advance. :)

  • Safari wont start after Leopard software update

    After updating Leopard to 10.5.7, Safari wont start. I get an error message "Cant load Tastyapps AV plugin." or something to that effect.
    What gives? anyone know?

    I was using Videobox as a trial version (on the site you have the option of buying or trying for 30 days). After the 30 days it stopped working and I just moved it to the trash. I seems to have left something in Safari however that causes it to not want to start.
    Using Firefox i was able to go back to the Videobox site and download and install the trial version again. I was then given the option of installing the Safari plug in which i did. I then went to the Videobox menu and clicked on uninstall Safari plugin. and then i just moved videobox to the trash again using AppCleaner.
    So, you should be able to do the same thing. Just click on "download" instead of "buy" on the Videobox site. I'm sorry, I couldnt find the plugin files for manual deletion either.
    Maybe you should start a new thread and someone will know how to do that.
    Thanks!

  • Garageband wont start after update to ilife 09

    i update my ilife from 08 to 09, and now my garageband wont start anymore,it stucks everytime i start and the window "initialize" will not close.
    at this point i try everything, delete the preference files in "user -libery-preferences" ,starting with apple -install-DVD and repair permission.
    also delete garagaband 09 and re-install GB 08, after this and deleting pref-files again garagband 08 will start normaly
    then i try again to update to Gb 09...and it stucks again when the app launch.
    GB 09 will only shows the initialize window and stuck !
    Please help

    i had the same problem when i got my new macbook. I even tried to restore the whole OS then it finally works. But then it crashes again after i install some other program. I suspect the garageband 09 crash with some specific music program...but i still can't figure out which one. I've installed Garritan Personal orchestra, Emu 0404 driver, melodyn essential after that, i bet one of these program have problem.
    What about you, have you got any other music program in your mac?

  • Gnome wont start after login

    I can get it to start manually with gnome-session but it wont autostart after i login.
    I added exec gnome-session to /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc and to $HOME/.xinitrc.

    It's probably a mirror syncronisation issue. A lot of packages were moved from testing to current/extra.  Probably users either didn't fully updated their system (pacman -Syu) or are using a mirror which haven't sync yet.
    Also, make sure that you don't use a different mirror for current and extra. If you use an up-to-date mirror for current and a less up-to-date mirror for extra, you might get this kind of problem. You can temporarily switch to a more up-to-date mirror or to the main server to make this big update.
