  • *- is the agent have its own service account?

    *- any service packs / windows updates were applied

    *- could you paste the errors recorded in the error log. (Default location Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.n\MSSQL\LOG\ERRORLOG and ERRORLOG.n)

  • hi,

    have you ever read this:

    http://grumpydba.blogspot.de/2012/09/sql-2008-r2-reporting-services-wont.html

    the services need maybe more time for respond. and with this link, you can set up the time for service to respond.

    let me know it this was helpful...

  • I've seen this when my service account loses it's "Log on as service" rights.

    Might be something to check - could temporarily change the Agent service to use Local System account to see if it will start to see if it is actually the service account which is the problem (assuming you are using one) - then go fix the service account....

  • SQLSERVERAGENT service stopping due to a stop request from a user<c/> process<c/> or the OS...

    Maybe check the windows event log?
