Hi everybody,

I've had this error message with SQLServer Agent service.

I use a domain account to start this service. This account is not a Local Administrator.

I've added this account on the specific SQL Agent Group:

Default instance: SQLServerSQLAgentUser$ComputerName$MSSQLSERVER

or

Named instance: SQLServerSQLAgentUser$ComputerName$InstanceName

The error message i've get was:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Services

The SQLSERVERAGENT service on Local Computer started and then stopped.

services stop automatically if they have no work to do, for example, the Performance Logs and Alerts Services

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

To solve this, i've checked Access control lists for the SQL Agent group.

To do this, please read the following article:

Now, all is alright 😀

Good luck !!

Bye
