Instance didn't come up after server reboot.

    I have a SQL 2008 instance that did not come up after the server was rebooted for windows patching. I can see in the event viewer where the server goes down (and the instance is shut down) then when the server comes up I can see where SSIS came up. However I don't see any evidence in the event viewer or in the SQL logs that any attempt was made to bring up the instance itself even though the service is set to automatic.

    Does anyone have any suggestions?

    Thanks

    check the windows application log, there must be something in there.

    Try starting the service manually and check the app log to

    I've checked the windows application log pretty carefully from the shutdown point through the point the instance was brought up manually. It came up manually with no problems and nothing unusual in the SQL or application logs.

    Thanks

    Go into SSCM and double check to make sure the SQL Server service is set with automatic startup. It sounds a little like the service is just set for manual startup.

    Unfortunately no. It is definitely set to automatic startup.

    I have heard that sometimes services won't start if a required service hasn't started up yet. Is the SQL Service dependent on any other services? Say MSDTC?

    Thanks
