SQLSERVERAGENT service terminated unexpectedly

  • I have problem where there the agent keeps stopping, but it still shows as running when you look at services in control panel. this is causing jobs to fail regularly I have looked everywhere I can think to find more info eg event viewer to no avail.

    we are running sql2000 sp2 on a w2k sp2

    any help appreciated

  • Does the sql agent log file give any more details? (Right click on the sql agent and choose 'display error log')

  • there are several error messages about email user that could not be notified when the job completed could this stop the service

  • Did you get a stack dump that shows an execution of xp_sendmail in it? If so, you have hit a bug in SQL Server 2000 service pack 2 SQLMAP70.dll. Replace it with the version from service pack 1 and you will be fine.

  • If you would, post the stack dump, as mentioned by rwims. It may be helpful to others as well who run across the same issue.
