| I am supporting an application that uses MS SQLServer Express 2012 as its RDBMS. The SQLServer instance at one customer installation shuts down over night and cannot be restarted. The most likely suspect at this point is deactiviation by IT policy. IT has not been very forthcoming with information, and I am wondering if there is any tell-tale indication within the SQLServer Express installation that it has been deactivated by IT policy.Thank you! |

| Check the SQL Server Error Log as well as the Application Log (Event Viewer). If the SQL Server service is not in a started state, you can view the Error Log via the file system. ...\MSSQL10.SQLEXPRESS\MSSQL\LogERRORLOG without the extension is the current file. Then the numbered extensions are the historical files.Tara KizerSQL Server MVP since 2007http://weblogs.sqlteam.com/tarad/ |
