Idea

agent fails to start, check the system event viewer, the following information:

- System 

  - Provider 

   [ Name]  SQLSERVERAGENT 
 
  - EventID 324

Direct point sql server agent will report the following error (error: 15281)

operating

Set in the database

sp_CONFIGURE 'SHOW ADVANCE',1
GO
RECONFIGURE WITH OVERRIDE
GO
sp_CONFIGURE 'AGENT',1
GO
RECONFIGURE WITH OVERRIDE
GO

 

 

 

Right then point sql server agent query properties

Because when we replace the hard drive, the original D drive has been uninstalled.

Because we replace the hard disk, the disk D torn down. After finding the cause, the problem becomes how to modify the route of the problem.

USE [msdb] 
EXEC msdb.dbo.sp_set_sqlagent_properties @errorlog_file=N'F:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL14.MSSQLSERVER\MSSQL\Log\SQLAgent.out'
GO

 

 

 

 

Modify the restart the agent service to normal;
