Home Forums SQL Server 2005 Administering SQL Server Agent will not start and there are no error logs. RE: SQL Server Agent will not start and there are no error logs.

  • 5. In SQL Server Configuration Manager, set the SQL Server service to use “domain\SQL_Srv1_Agent” as the log on account. Clicked OK. I was presented with a WMI Provider Error: “The process terminated unexpectedly. [0x8007042b].”

    I think it is just security issue, try this use "domain\SQL_Srv1" for SQL server agent services also, see if agent starts successfully.

    EnjoY!
