Hi,
My SQL server (box) is mostly rebooted every weekend.
I have a SQL server 2005 running on this box with below details:
Enterprise Edition 8.00.760 SP3
Most of the times after reboot, the SQL agent does not start due to below error(latest error):
Event Type: Error
Event Source: SQLAgent$Servername
Event Category: Service Control
Event ID: 103
Date: 3/13/2011
Time: 1:20:39 PM
User: N/A
Computer: HOSTNAME
Description:
SQLServerAgent could not be started (reason: Unable to connect to server 'SERVERNAME\INSTANCE'; SQLServerAgent cannot start).
For more information, see Help and Support Center at
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp.
(ACTUAL SERVER AND INSTANCE NAMES HAVE BEEN REPLACED)
One more point, there are some other SQL instances running on this server, the SQL Agent for those server almost always comes up fine.
The SQL agent is running under a Domain account, the password for the login is correct.
What can be the reason for the above error???
Thanks in advance,
