  • it is Express edition.

    Think it is disabled for Express Edition.

  • You mean to say that SQL Server Agent does nt work in SQL Express 2008 ? or is there any work around for to make Agent running?

  • CH&HU (3/4/2009)


    it is Express edition.

    Think it is disabled for Express Edition.

    No Express editions doesn,t add SQL Agent, you wouldn't be able to run it. If you want to schedule the option yo have got is to schedule Windows task scheduler or any third party scheduler

  • I think you are dealing with an exppress edition
