Stop and Start MSSQLServer

  • I am going to run a scheduled task job to stop and start the MSSQLServer weekly. I can run the job manually at the server console, but it does not run as a scheduled job? Here is the batch file:

    C:

    cd

    Net Stop MSSQLSERVER

    Net Start MSSQLSERVER

    exit

  • You can try using xp_cmdshell.

  • Sorry,Ignore my posting,You can stop the services but cannot start using xp_cmdshell

  • I am sorry i did answer to a wrong query.

    What kind of Problem are you getting when you schedule it as a job??

    just try this

    Net stop mssqlserver /y

    In you batch file

    and then

    net start mssqlserver as another batch file and schedule them using NT scheduler.

    Hope this helps

  • Or if you use the 'at' cmd line scheduler. If you do not have the Task Scheduler in yuor version of NT/2000/XP (NT 4 was the only one lacking from what I remember and was added via IE update later).
