SQL Agent stops responding abruptly and we could see the below message in event viewer
Event viewer message:
The description for Event ID 17052 from source MSSQL$SQL2005T4 cannot be found.
The following information was included with the event:
SQLServerAgent Monitor failed to restart SQLServerAgent after SQLServerAgent terminated unexpectedly (reason: SQLSCMControl() returned error 5, 'Access is denied.').
the message resource is present but the message is not found in the string/message table
We were able to re-start the agent and it will start without errors. This issue occurs intermittently.
Microsoft SQL Server Agent version 9.00.5000.00
SQL Server version:9.00.5057 SQL Server ODBC driver version 9.00.5000
Is this a known issue? Welcome any suggestions.
Thanks
