Unable to view SQL Server Agent while logged in as user

Hello Everyone,
I have granted SQLAgentUserRole permission to one of the user and using enterprise edition of SSMS. still user is not able to view SQL Server Agent. Any help will be greatly appriciated.

There is no Enterprise Edition of SSMS. There is SSMS Basic and SSMS Complete. Prior to 2012 sp1, only SSMS Basic were available with Express Edition - but as of 2012 sp1 Expredd also offers SSMS Complete. SSMS Complete is selected bu default when you install
SSMS (unless you are prior to 2012 sp1 and are using Express, of course).
However, even SSMS Basic *should* show Agent assuming you have permissions for that. This is hearsay, but from trusted sources. Here is what to do:
Check what is installed for the machine from where you are running SSMS. You can do that using SQL Server Installation Center - see this blog post: http://sqlblog.com/blogs/tibor_karaszi/archive/2011/02/10/what-does-this-express-edition-look-like-anyhow.aspx
(towards the end).
On that machine try both this problematic account as well as an account which is sysadmin. Does the sysadmin account see Agent? If so, you know permissions aren't granted properly. If not, then you know the tool is the problme.
Also try the problematic account from a machine where you know you see Agent normally. Again, this will help you assess whether the problem is the tool (SSMS) or permissions for the account.

Unable to get SQL Server Agent to run after installing SQL 2012 Standard with SP1

I am unable to get SQL Server Agent to run after installing SQL 2012 Standard with SP1. Log message is as follows:
Attempting to load library 'xplog70.dll' into memory. This is an informational message only. No user action is required.
Failed to verify Authenticode signature on DLL 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL11.MSSQLSERVER\MSSQL\Binn\xplog70.dll'.
Error: 17750, Severity: 16, State: 0.
Could not load the DLL xplog70.dll, or one of the DLLs it references. Reason: (null).

Hi JFriedley,
According to your error message, there might three reasons for this issue.
xplog70.dll is corrupt, you need to check if you have any SQL Server running on same file version and same production
edition. If xplog70.dll is corrupt, you can copy it from the new server where agent is running fine to your problematic server.
Native client not installed properly. If you try applying any latest Service Pack or Cumulative Update then check if the SQL Server Agent can start, if that also doesn’t solve issue then try to reinstalling SQL Server Native client from SQL Server setup
files.
There is a similar issue about error 17750, you can review the following article.

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:-)

Logs for sql server agent restart

Hi,
Can I get log on the sql server agent restart history of week. I mean the sql server agent has been restarted several times in last week I want to know the date and time when the sql server agent restarted in that week. Is it possible to get
the info?
Thanks in advance,
Pavan

In addition to Uri's post, here is some more information that might help you:
SQLAGENT.OUT, the log file for SQL Agent. SQL Server Agent can maintain up to 10 Error Logs files. The currently used SQL Server Agent Error Log will be named SQLAGENT.OUT
where is the SQLAGENT.OUT file?
C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL11.SQL2012\MSSQL\Log\
What will be when a new file create?
The old file should get a name like SQLAGENT.X and the new file get the name SQLAGENT.OUT (X is numbers 1-9)
This can help you to get more information on sql agent properties (like the location of the log file, the user that start the service and more):

SQL Server Agent - Job History not being recorded (SQL Server 2005)

I have been trying to get to the bottom of an issue with SQL Server Agent not recording any job history. I am using SQL Server 2005 on a single Windows Server 2008 machine (i.e. no other domain controllers/active directory servers).
The SQL Server Agent service is configured to 'Log On As' NT user account 'sqlagent'. The jobs themselves are executed successfully (all 'Transact-SQL' type steps actually use the 'sa' account) however the there is no actual job history to be found for any
of the jobs -- in the SQL Activity monitor, the 'Last Run Outcome' is always 'Unknown' and the 'Last Run' date is always 'Never' for all jobs; in the SQL Job History Viewer there are no entries for any instances of a job being executed.
The 'sqlagent' NT user account ia a member of the 'Administrators' NT group; the 'Administrators' group appears under Security > Logins on the database server. I have another server that also uses the same setup with a 'sqlagent' NT user account, on that
database server the 'sqlagent' user account appears under Security > Logins and the SQL job history works correctly. I have attempted to add the 'sqlagent' to the Logins on the affected server using the SQL Server Surface Area configuration but this operation
returns an error, detailed below.
Additionally, I have attempted to use the built-in NT system account 'NETWORKSEVICES' to run the SQL Agent Service but this also results in exceptions in the error log and no job history being recorded. The entries in the error logs are very similar to those
from the 'sqlagent' NT user account but instead the user is referred to as 'NT AUTHORITY\ANONYMOUS LOGON' in the error logs, again these are detailed below.
Many thanks in advance for anyone's time and help with this issue!

Hi Rama,
Thanks for your reply. I have run the query you specified and can see only one entry with "NTLM" in the auth_scheme column, all of the rest have "SQL". It figures that the entry with "NTLM" is relating to the one NT user account that can successfully log
in to the service (as mentioned in my reply to Nag above, this is the NT user account that installed the service on the machine). I have also executed the same query on the other machine that I mentioned in my original post and this contains two "NTLM" entries,
I'd assume that these relate to the NT user that installed the software and the correctly working "sqlagent" NT user account that is correctly logging the job history on that machine.
I think the problem is very much to do with granting access to new NT user accounts, as per the KB article that you have quoted above. In this case, it is not relating to scenarios 1 or 2 as these relate to SQL Server logins and this issue is about a Windows
Authentication login. As I mentioned to Nag above, I am unable to grant any NT user accounts with access to the service however the NT accounts are all defined locally on the same machine as the SQL server is installed (i.e. there is no domain controller,
active directory controller, etc) so I don't understand how the Windows login cannot be verified.
Any further advice on the issue would be greatly appreciated, please let me know if there is any more information I can provide to help diagnose the problem.
Many thanks!

SQL Server Agent not appearing in Management Studio

Hi there,
I have SQL Server set up on a server and I can't see the Agent in Management Studio.
When I check the services it says it is there and started.
I have the Enterprise edition installed.
Funny thing is it doesn't show when I am on the server itself through Management Studio, however, on my local pc, when I connect to the server through Management Studio, I can see the Agent through there and I have jobs there that run successfully and everything.
Its just when I log directly on the box and load up Management Studio, I don't see it.
Any thoughts?
Thanks!

a) Is there a possibiity that you are using SQL Server Management Studio Express edition, on your server instead of (full or complete edition of management studio that came with SQL enterprise edition media)
one way to tell if you are using sql express studio is under management you will be missing Resouce Governor under management node, Resource governor mangeability feature is only available if you have install management studio that comes with an enterprise
edition only
OR
b) account under which you are logged in your server does not have privileges to view SQL Server Agent (the user need to be member of certain role in msdb database to view sql agent see
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms188283.aspx )
c) When you installed SQL managment stuido, which option did you choose for management studio (Basic or Complete)..?

I want to give a user to read only rights on sql server agent 2008

I want to give a user to read only rights on sql server agent 2008.When I giving SQLAgentuser Role then user is only able to view SQL Server agent as Green but no job visible in job activity monitor.Currently he has db_reader rights on one user database.
What rights should I give?
Thanks

There are 3 SQL server Agent fixed database roles in sql server.
1.SQL AgentUSerRole:- To create and manage jobs
2.SQLAgentReaderRole: To grant read acces.
3.SQLAgentOperatorRole : to run and delete jobs.
For you question you can create a user and grant him SQLAgentReaderRole.
Example:
Create LOGIN test with Password='abc'
Use msdb;
GO
Create User test for login test
use msdb;
EXECUTE sp_addrolemember @rolename='SQLAgentReaderRole',@membername='test'
Hope this solves your problem!!!

SQL Server Agent - [165] ODBC Error: 0, Named Pipes Provider: Could not open a connection to SQL Server [2]. [SQLSTATE 08001]

Hi,
I keep receiving the error below in the SQL Server Agent Error Log;
[165] ODBC Error: 0, Named Pipes Provider: Could not open a connection to SQL Server [2]. [SQLSTATE 08001]
It is occurring approximately 20 times an hour and i cannot link it to any job failures. All jobs on the same SQL instance are working.
The server is a clustered server and there are no errors occuring in the SQL Server error log at the same time. I have attempted to trace using profiler looking for errors and warnings but anything that does occur doesn't seem to correspond to the reported
times of the errors within the sql agent error log.
Please could someone point me where to look next?
Many thanks.

Please may I add that this is on a SQL Server 2008 R2 Enterprise edition patched to 10.50.1600.
Nah, that server is not patched at all, because 10.50.1600 is the RTM version. Find Service Pack 2 and install at the next maintenance window, after having performed tests according to your local policy.
It is not going to resolve your particular problem though.
It seems like you have a job that attempts to a connect to s server that is down or non-existing. The job may be configured to return success also on failures. I would check if there are jobs that target other servers.

Error logging when running SSIS on SQL Server Agent

I have SSIS package running on SQL Server Agent Job.
When I'm running it, I get error and I'm urget to see History Logs.
When look Error logs in SQL Server Object Explorer, I don't find errors on this day.
Where should I look for error messages related to SSIS. Any thing to be configured on Management Studio or Data Tool?
Kenny_I

Hi Kenny_I,
As Russ posted, you need to expand the toggle to see the detailed information when viewing the Job history. Please see the screenshot below:
Besides, you can also edit the Job step, and switch to the Advanced tab to specify a job output file to log the detailed package execution failure information. The screenshot is for your reference:

Error While executing a SSIS package which contains a script task through SQL Server Agent job

Hi,
I have a SQL Server 2012 SSIS package with a script task along with other tasks [data flow, execute sql tasks ]. When I manually executed the job through BIDS, its completed successfully.

SQL Server Agent running SSIS package fails Unable to determine if the owner of job has server access

I have a web application developed through VS 2012 which has a button on a form that when operated starts a SQL Server agent job on the server that runs an SSIS package. The website and the instance of SQL Server with the agent and SSIS package are
on the same windows 2008 r2 server. When the button is operated no exceptions are raised but the SSIS package did not execute.
When I look in the logfileviewer at the job history of the sql server agent job I see that the job failed with message...
The job failed. Unable to determine if the owner (DOMAINNAME\userid) of job runWebDevSmall has server access (reason: Could not obtain information about Windows NT group/user 'DOMAINNAME\userid'<c/> error code 0x6e. [SQLSTATE 42000] (Error 15404)).,00:00:00,0,0,,,,0
...even though DOMAINNAME\userid is in the logins for the sql server and has admin authorities.
Could someone show me what I need to do to get this to run? Thanks tonnes in advance for any help, Roscoe

This can happen when the network is too slow to allow a timely completion of the verification. Or the account running has no such right.
I suggest you try using the SA account for the job as it does not require to poll the AD.

If I resize job history log to see more entries listed under job history, will cause sql server agent to restart or any downtime?

Here is I am going to do:
Using SQL Server Management Studio
To resize the job history log based on raw size
In Object Explorer, connect to an instance of the SQL Server Database Engine, and then expand that instance.
Right-click SQL Server Agent, and then click Properties.
Select the History page, and then confirm that Limit size of job history logis checked.
In the Maximum job history log size box, enter the maximum number of rows the job history log should allow.
In the Maximum job history rows per job box, enter the maximum number of job history rows to allow for a job.

this change does not require SQL agent restart
