Re: SQL Server 2005: Error 14258...SQL Server Agent is starting

The last entry in the log says that agent is stopping. This could happen for
a varity of reasons, most likely a configuration problem. Did it ever work?

I don't know what is the other post you're referring to, but can you
share
the relevant log entries? Please make sure you don't include any
information
you might deem confidential.

Ciprian, The Sql Server Agent log doesn't contain anything out of the
ordinally other then SQL Server recovering databases as per the post
from
vsiat. i.e the agent.out file contain the same information as Vsiat's.

Did you look at the SqlAgent log? That should give more information
about
the state of the agent service. You can find the log in the equivalent
of

c:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.1\MSSQL\LOG\sqlagent.out.

When ever I try creating a job under SQL Server 2005 I get the error
message:
"Error 14258: cannot perform this operation while SQL Server Agent
is
starting; try again later".

When you look under services the service looks like it has already
started.
If you try stopping the SQL Server Service or the Agent service from
the
services screen they both lock up because the agent will not stop.

I am running SQL Server 2005 on Windows server 2000 SP4 under NT
security.

After checking TechNet I did notice the question from Vsiat which
looked
like the same problem under SQL Server 2000 where the problem was
light
weight pooling this is not my problem.

Has anyone got any ideas.
