| Alright.I got it sorted.This is Microsoft Craziness.SP4 OR SOME OTHER PROCESS Created a FILE named "Program" under my root folder. Now there are two folders/Files under my root folder.1. Program (File)2. Program Files (Folder which have core SQL Installation)This is all causing issues for that service to start.I changed the name of "Program" file and All works Fine.SQLSERVER AGENT SERVICE SHOULD need to be quite intellegent to understand that differance.If somebody have any logical reason of that issue, then please post it here for everybody knowledge.Thanks all for reading.SKR |
