SQL Server Service
(2014) is set to "Automatic" and should therefore be automatically started when I boot up my computer. As viewed from Services it is in a "Stopped" state after reboot. I believe this is due to a recent service pack or cumulative update(?)
From the command prompt I am able to start the SQL Server Service by bypassing the Cumulative Update or Service Pack option with the option switch "/T902" :
NET START MSSQL$MSSQLSERVER2014 /T902 after which everything behaves normally.
The Service "Logon" is currently set to "LocalSystem" and I have changed this to both "NT Authority\System" and "NT
AUTHORITY\NETWORKSERVICE" in an attempt to resolve the problem.
Each time the Windows Event log records :
"The SQL Server (MSSQLSERVER2014) service terminated with the following service-specific error:
WARNING: You have until SQL Server (MSSQLSERVER2014) to logoff. If you have not logged off at this time, your session will be disconnected, and any open files or devices you have open may lose data."
By itself the message is pretty useless but I get similar messages when I attempt to change the service logon. Thus, my suspicion is that this is a "permission" type issue such that some script has insufficient "rights" in order to carry out what it is attempting to do.
If I knew where these scripts were located I might try running the scripts manually to identify which one(s) are causing the problem. Running the script manually might be more informative and pinpoint exactly what is causing this. Unfortunately, the next step in resolving this eludes me.
Can you help?
