Getting Error when trying to start the SQL Agent

  • I even tried manually through below command

    EXEC XP_SERVICECONTROL 'START','SQLSERVERAGENT'

    StartService() returned error 1053, 'The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion.'

    Logon account is fine I check AD, password never expire policy,

    Help is much appreciated,

  • Can you check the sql error log and Sqlagent log and post them here to start troubleshooting.

  • hi please check sqlagent.exe process is running in taskmgr or not.if it is running

    then kill sqlagent.exe process .

    and try to restart a service.this might work
