  • I don't understand what you mean by you execute the command to install SQL Server Agent, you need to run setup to install it and in the developer edition it comes turned off by default so you need to go to configuration manager and turn it on.

  • I think i am out of sync.

    As far as i know, Its not possible to intall SQL Server Agent only, And if you are installing SQL Server it comes with all the Editions of SQL Server except Express, and express doesn't support it(so theres is not chance you can install only SQL Server Agent as per my understanding).

    All you need to do is

    Login into the server

    Go to RUN type Services.msc

    then find the Service named: SQL Server Agent.

    check whether the service is running or not.

    If it is not running start it.

    If it is not starting up possible reason could be wrong\underpriveledge service account given as a logon account, change it.

    If you are unable to find\see the service using SSMS, login to the server with Admin Rights and add the User in one of these roles:

    SQLAgentUserRole

    SQLAgentReaderRole

    SQLAgentOperatorRole

    or ask your Admin to do that for you.
