SQL Server Agent Windows Service

I have created a override for parameter, Alert only if service startup type is automatic in monitor SQL Server Agent Windows Service to false, as my SQL Admin informs that this service startup type is Manual. As SQL servers are clustered, even SQL agent
service runs on even node and odd SQL agent service runs on the odd node. Should this resolve the issue my SQL Admin's are complaining they were not receiving notifications for SQL Agent stopping. Or, should it create noise as I should expect alerts from odd
SQL Agent service that are not running on even node and vice versa.
From SQL Server end,
Thanks, Harry :-)

  • When I start SQL server agent (sharepoint) service it stops everytime.

    hi,
      I have a windows server 2012 and SQL server 2008 R2 and SQL server agent (sharepoint) service goes to stop status everytime i start it ,please help me?

    There is no error log ,only 3 information log was there after starting the service that one of them is related to it after stopping (event ID=7036 all of them).but also there is a warning information that source of it is DNS client Events and it's event
    ID= 1014 and in the general section of explanation i see the user of last event i mentioned is NETWORK SERVICE ,but the account that the service logs on with it,is administrator.
    Without error log message or any kind of message its not possible to help you.Is your SQL Server up and running.Did you checked SQL server errorlog.Run this query after trying to start Agent and post the output.
    sp_readerrorlog
    Also can you locate SQLAGENT.OUT file and open it in notepad.Location can be at
    "Drive :\Program

  • SQL Server Agent (MSSQLSERVER) service is failing to start

    Hi All,
    I am using SQL Server 2008 R2 Express edition. When i start SQL Server Agent (MSSQLSERVER) service it is failing to start and gives the below error.
    On analyzing the Event logs i found the below event.
    The SQL Server Agent (MSSQLSERVER) service terminated unexpectedly.  It has done this 14 time(s).
    Event id 7034
    Event source: Service Control Manager.
    I opened the SQL server configuration manager to change the service account and start the service, But that is also failing and it is giving the below error.
    Can any one help in this issue ?

    Like Olaf said SQL Server Agent is available in express but cannot be enabled. This is restriction from MS. The reason is that(why its available and disabled) when you upgrade express to enterprise/standard it just uses this disabled SQL Server agent and
    enables it. If this feature was not present SQL Server upgrade process would have to write whole code for SQL agent Which I am sure it does not do while upgrading to standard/enterprise.

    Can you post the output of below query

    If you are using SQl server express edition ,SQL server agent feature is not available.It seems from errorlog that you can start it but actually you cannot.But first confirm what is version and edition of your SQL server

    Hi All,
    I want to schedule a SSIS packages using SQL Server agent, My Agent is running on default local account
    (No Service account). But currently there is a scenario that SSIS package should connect to some network path. As per my understnading the account on which SQL Agent is running will not be able to access the path. How can i achieve this? Do i need to start
    my agent on a service account where the service account has total access to the netwrk path or can i impersonate using proxy accounts.

  • SQL server Analysis Windows service Alerts on cluster nodes

    Hi,
    I was wondering if others may be experiencing the same issue with the SQL Server MP.
    We are monitoring SQL server Analysis Service using monitor SQL Server Analysis Service Windows Service.
    We had overrided “Alert only if service startup type is automatic”
    option to false.
    It will create the false alerts from the other nodes in the cluster on which service is not running, but since it's in clustered configuration, it should not generate alerts from other node as it's running on another node on the same cluster.
    Please share if anyone has been through this issue and any remediation for this kind of issue.

  • "Disable Check for SQL Express" against SQL Server Agent

    Good afternoon,
    Seeing as it has been a know issue for many years now[1],
    is there a reason why Microsoft has yet to include a “Disable Check for SQL Express” override (similar to the
    Automatic Configuration (& other) monitors) for each of the following objects included in the
    Microsoft SQL Server Management Pack?
    SQL Server Agent Windows Service (Monitor)
    Discover SQL Server Agent for a DB Engine (Discovery)
    This would prevent me from have to continually create overrides
    disabling the monitor|discovery each time a new instance of SQL Express is installed in our Management Group.

    I see.
    I'm not sure if it's Express or not, how can I tell? The start-up for the server management studio just says "Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2"
    If this is the case, will any other version of SQL besides Express work? or is it only specific ones?

    I let the SCE install SQL 2008 Express.  When I checked on the SQL Services, SQL Server Agent Service is stopped and will not start.  Not sure if this is the cause of the above issue.  I also can't log in to the SQL Server Management Studio.
    How can I fix this?  What other information do you need from me.

    Danny01 - tried the domain admin rights on the service with no difference - put it back

    You seem to have an issue with your machine, I suggest you check further up in the event log for problems concerning the event log.
    Uploading files here is not possible, open an OSS call (component BC-DB-MSS) and ask the support for help, there you can upload the file.

  • How to add sql server (SQLEXPRESS) AND sql server Agent(SQLEXPRESS) in sql server Configuration Manager

    When I had uninstall Sql Server 2008 R2, that time I had uninstalled instances (SQLEXPRESS and MSSQLSERVER) and again installed sql server 2008 r2 setup .
    Before uninstalling from control panel >Uninstall program showed two setups 
    1) Microsoft sql server  2) Microsoft sql server R2 , I uninstalled both. 
    As i installed SQL R2 again, it is showing only 1 instance ie "Microsoft sql server R2" but the other instance is some how missing -"Microsoft sql server" and 
    also sql server (SQLEXPRESS)  AND sql server Agent(SQLEXPRESS)  services from sql server configuration manager are missing
    How to retain the missing instance and the above services? 
    Plz give replay

    Hi Tushar,
    I need to ask you a question here. 
    Why you require SQL Express edition on your machine, if there is no need you can safely ignore it and continue using SQL Server 2008 R2 edition.
    Express edition can also get installed if you happen to have installed Visual Studio 2010 for instance.
    If you need it then you must install SQL Server Express edition, It is a freeware and can be download from Microsoft website.

  • Reporting Services 2012 for SharePoint and SQL Server Agent "Subscriptions and Alerts"

    After installing Reporting Services for SharePoint (Denali) in my test farm, I'm trying to configure the "SQL Server Agent" access for Reporting Services.  From Central Admin I'm going to the Reporting Service applicaiton configuration screen and selecting
    "Provision Subscriptions and Alerts".  I've tried both options on this screen.  I've manually executed the "download sql script" in SQL Server, as well as entering a user with SQL sys admin rights on the SQL server into the login fields on the screen. 
    The role and permissions have been created for the application pool service account, but Reporting Services is still trying to connect with the annonymous login because I'm getting the following alert each time I open the "Provision Subscriptions and Alerts"
    screen:
    Login failed for user 'NT AUTHORITY\ANONYMOUS LOGON'
    The "status" on the screen still shows "SQL Server Agent State cannot be determined".  Has anyone else seen this? 
    Thanks!!

    Thanks for your reply!
    1) Looks like the new Reporting Services does not run as a Windows Service so it's not listed in the "Configure Service Accounts" pulldown.  As a result, I don't see how to set the service account.  It's only assigned to an application pool. 
    I installed it into an existing application pool and that application pool "is" in the list and has a domain service account already assigned.
    2) Which users need to be in here in order to configure the "Provision Subscriptions and Alerts" screen?  I already have the farm admin account which is the account I use when running Central Admin.
    3) As mentioned in #1, I've installed Reporting Services into an existing application pool with other service apps.
    4) This link is for Reporting Services 2008 R2 which is very different install process.  But I did follow the SQL Server Reporting Services 2012 RC0 installation instructions and the Reporting Services is functioning correctly with no errors. 
    I'm just not able to configure the sceduling the alerting with interfaces with the SQL Server Agent.
    Thanks!

  • Unable to start SQL server agent service

    hi,
    We have 2 Node SQL Cluster that was working fine. Then We migrated the Linux DNS to Windows DNS successfully.Now restarted the SQL Server after it when we try to start the SQL Server Agent service its says the below msg while machine name and cluster
    entries are in windows dns and resolving the IP to name and name to IP
    Error msg: The MSSQLSERVER service on Local Computer started and then stopped.  Some services stop automatically if they have no work to do, for example, the Performance Logs and Alerts service." error message.
    But whenever we set the Linux DNS Server ip in SQL Servers then it successfully starts the service. Now i want to know why its happening and what are the requirements or DNS entries/SPN which we missing when we migrated the linux DNS to windows
    dns
    Sagar

    I was experiencing this issue or one just like it on one of our SQL clusters (SQL Server 2008 R2, two node).
    The fix for us was the database Security Login for: NT SERVICE\SQLAgent$<instancename>  was missing.  The actual service account assigned to the SQL Agent service was a valid domain account and we had the credentials correct in the service
    configuration, so no changes were needed there.
    Using SQL Server Management Studio we manually added this BUILT IN account ( NT SERVICE\SQLAgent$<instancename> ) to the instance, and then assigned it user role = sysadmin (to go along with the default role = public).
    Once this was done, we tried to restart the clustered SQL Agent service and it started and remained started.
    Hope this helps someone, we spent over a day pouring over the installation trying to find the cause.
    This worked for me, thanks:-)
