Can not start the SQL Server Agent

  • Hi

    I installed SQL Server R2 on my local machine(office laptop) yesterday

    It was ok yesterday. I created sample Databases and have done few DTS and SSIS packages on that. They worked fine the day I installed SQL.

    Today, I could connect to remote server through SSMS but I could not connect to my local machine throug SSMS.

    I opened Services.msc and found both SQL Server & SQL Server Agent have not started.

    When I tried to Start these services they gave me errors as

    SQL SERVER AGENT -------Could not start the SQL Server Agent(MS SQL Server) service on local computer, Error1068: The dependency service or group failed to start

    SQL Server-------Windows couldnot start the sql server on local computer.........for more information, review the syystem Event log........If this is a non-microsoft service, contact the service vendor, and refer to service-specific error code 126

    Please help me in solving this issue

    Thanking You

  • What does it say in the Windows Event Log? What login are you using to start the service?

  • Try changing the SQL Server and Agent service accounts to Local System and try to start them on your local computer

    Thank You,
