  • URGENT HELP needed

    sql agent is stopped, i am unable to restart it. got below error

    "The request failed or the service did not respond in a timely fashion.

    Consult the event log or other applicable error logs for details."

    Please advice

  • I found below error in eventlog

    Faulting application sqlagent90.exe, version 2005.90.1399.0, stamp 434f60a9, faulting module kernel32.dll, version 5.2.3790.4062, stamp 46264680, debug? 0, fault address 0x0000bee7.

    please let me know the solution, this is the production server

  • Are there any other errors in the log?

    Also check the system logs for errors?

  • Reboot the machine if Possible - this will resolve many issues. (Production)

    If not. Then stop the services of SQL Server and Agent services and try starting the services ...

    I faced this in past. I rebooted as i was permitted to do so. And also did the second thing..

    Do the same if you have full control on the server.

  • I agree with winslet. Once there is a memory fault or a stack dump the only way you are going to get the service back online is by rebooting. Unfortunately this doesn't get at the root of the cause, so the memory fault could happen again.

    I wouldn't spend any more time on it then a reboot unless it does happen again. If it does then I suggest passing it to operations, and if that isn't an option then going over the system and application logs. It could be something hardware related especially with the memory.

  • I am posting the SQL Server error logs and SQL agent error log

  • I don't think you are going to find anything useful in the agent log. However, there could be a stack dump or mini-stack dump in the sql log.

  • I have started SQL Agent with local system account succesfully, but unable to start with service account(pw is correct).

    Temapararly issue is resolved, but I need to start service with service account, because all my logshipping jobs and shared folder access depends on this service account.

    I will try to reboot the server today off hours...

    does it make sense....any thoughts? THanks much!

  • In this case I don't think rebooting the system is going to help after all. Look at whether the account is locked out. Try logging on to the machine with that account. You can also try running management studio on your local machine as that account and attempt a login to the sql instance. You can also check to see if any necessary permissions were taken away from the account on the machine.

  • I've seen similar things happen when password policies are enforced on service accounts and the passwords have expired or been changed. I've had this cause issues on service start-up before now.

    Make sure any expiry policies aren't applied to your service accounts, reset the passwords on the accounts and try starting the services again, see if that helps.

  • Password is correct and I had put never expired. It is working for other server.

    I tried to connect sql server with that account in server , below error

    A connection was successfully established with the server, but then an error occurred during the login process. (provider: Shared Memory Provider, error: 0 - No process is on the other end of the pipe.) (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 233)

    I tried to connect sql thru my laptop, below error

    Login failed for user 'abcd'. (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 18456)

  • Check on the SQL Server to see if the login is disabled. If it is, then enable it. You can do this in management studio by checking properties of the login under the status page.
