• Hi Csaba,

    quote:


    We have a Win2000 server (SP2) with SQL Server 2000 (SP3). The SQL Server service is running fine without any problem but recently the SQL Server Agent could not be started.

    There's the following error in the Event log:

    "The SQLSERVERAGENT service terminated unexpectedly."

    This is the content of the latest Agent log (from ...\MSSQL\Log dir):

    2003-06-20 09:11:39 - ? [100] Microsoft SQLServerAgent version 8.00.760 (x86 unicode retail build) : Process ID

    2003-06-20 09:11:39 - ? [339] Local computer is APRO-SZERVER running Windows NT 5.0 (2195) Service Pack 2

    Does anybody has an idea? What could be the problem? How can I get more detailed info about the error?


    Any entries in the Windows Event log?

    Anything changed in your configuration? Hardware, software patches...?

    Cheers,

    Frank
