Home Forums SQL Server 2005 Administering SQLSERVERAGENT service on Local Computer started and then stopped RE: SQLSERVERAGENT service on Local Computer started and then stopped

  • I have the MSSQL SERVER 2000 installed by 'Administrator' user and is managed by the same user. I tried changing the properties in services.msc from 'Local system' to 'hostname\Administrator'. but still did not work.

    Whenever I try to start the MSSQLSERVER service, error.log is updated with the following entry:

    "2011-06-03 13:08:37.19 server SQL Server evaluation period has expired."

    Is this the genuine cause for the MSSQLSERVER service not getting started??
