I am trying to start my sql server agent but it is not getting started . Showing the following Error- Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
I had made a scheduling a job.I tried to start the services from sql server configuration
but still it shows an error.I have try to start services from command prompt also but it is showing error-1067
this is a general windows error, not specific to sql server.
Check your windows log to get more info.
You can also try try to start SQL Agent from command with the -v switch to display the output to the diag screen.

I want to start playing around with databases in Java to help with my university work however I can't get SQL Server to work properly. I've installed it using the wizard and selecting 'Basic' the installing SSMS. However when launching SSMS I get Error 26. When researching this it says to make sure that the SQL Server Browser service is running. Unfortunately this is the issue, every time I try to start the service it fails.
All the fixes I've seen about this topic have been related to servers on another machine where as I am trying to run the server on my own PC. I've tried them anyway but nothing has worked so far. The only thing I can find that might give you a clue in helping me is that in the log file it says that it failed to register the SPN.
When working on my local machine, I don't usually need SQL Server browser - but my SQL Server itself isn't set up to run automatically.
You can go to services (either via window and search for 'services', or in Windows 10 open the task manager, go to the last tab 'services'). Find the 'SQL Server' service (it helps to sort by description column) and right click -> start.
If you take note of the name (default is 'MSSQLSERVER') you can start the service (e.g., in a batch file, from command line) using sc start "MSSQLSERVER" (or whatever your server instance is called).
I have Microsoft SQL Server 2016. I used to go in with a server name and there was no problem.
Recently there was a problem with the boot file, also known as the 0x00000034 blue screen error.
After the patch, it does not let enter the local server name.
Before
but the result
I tried other names and also examined similar questions without any good results.
for example-
How to find server name of SQL Server Management Studio and also How to find server name of SQL Server Management Studio but without any success.
There might be an issue with the connection to the server instance. I would try the troubleshooting steps in the question and answer from this post How do I fix the error 'Named Pipes Provider, error 40 - Could not open a connection to' SQL Server'? or from this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=810cv3PunkA
The server name, that you enter there is the name of the computer, on which the SQL Server has been installed. This is called "default instance", because you do not specify a name of the instance, which is in the format "computer_name\instance_name". If you are trying to connect to an instance (either default or named) installed on your local computer, you can substitute computer_name with . (dot), i.e. you can connect to a default instance on your computer by giving ., or to a named instance as .\SQLEXPRESS for example.
So in your case if you specify only a dot for server name, you should be able to connect. If you don't connect, then the SQL Server instance is not working. You can check is the service started, but you may have to reinstall SQL Server.
If the connection is successful, then you can keep using . (or (local)). If you want to find your computer's name, from Windows Explorer right click This PC and select Properties, then look at Computer name:.
If you still can't connect to the SQL Server using this computer name, then you have issues not related to the SQL Server engine itself. Open a command prompt and try to ping the computer name: ping desktop-7t2s4sm. If you get an error, then you have a networking issue.
Press ⊞ Win + R or type run in start (open run)
Type services.msc
Look for SQL Server (MSSQLSERVER)
Right click on it
Click on start
the cmd execution of registerRExt.exe
I am trying to install RRE(Revolution R Enterprise) v7.5 with RR0 3.2.2(Revolution R Open) on a SQL Server 2016 RC0 default instance. All the steps shown in the https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/mt590808.aspx have been completed and the error occurs in the Post installation Server configuration scripts. The script has also been replaced by the updated script for RC0 shown on the msdn site but still I get the same error on running the registerRExt.exe file.
The site shows while installing the instance the account name for Server Database engine has to be MSSQLSERVER, however this had also resulted in an error stating wait on database recovery handle failed which was sorted by changing the account name of Database engine to NT AUTHORITY/SYSTEM(I provided this info as it can also be the cause of the problem) . Now I need to sort the user pool failure. Any help would be appreciated..thanks in advance
SQL 2016 RC1 was just released https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/dataplatforminsider/2016/03/18/sql-server-2016-release-candidate-1-now-available/.
SQL RC1 has a newer version 8.0.1 version of RRE. I suggest your try to install it and reply to this thread again if you hit the same failure. https://msdn.microsoft.com/library/mt590809.aspx has the details on where to find Microsoft R Open 8.0.1 and Revolution R Enterprise 8.0.1.
If the issue persists RevoScaleR\rxLibs\x64\registerrext.log would have more details on the exact failure - do share that.
I was able to sort out the issue..It was because I was installing the SQL server on domain controller and ignored the warning while install, but then changing some rules and demoting it from Server Manager worked and the install was successful.
However I do know there may be some better solution to that as all the other user accounts got reset in the process.
I am using .mdf file for connectivity, when I select it it generates error:
Failed to generate user instance in SQL Server due to failure in starting the process for the user instance
I have attached image to make it clear to you.

Can anyone answer my question.
Thank you!!
Try following steps :
Stop all user instance processes of SQL Server running under your local account (open up task manager and look for sqlsrv.exe process and end it)
Delete all files in the %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server Data\SQLEXPRESS folder
F5 again
The problem is known issue. SQL Server Express cannot create a user instance using the set of engine files in your local app data folder, deleting them should allow SQL Server to recreate them with the correct credentials for you to F5 successfully.
Cannot start LocalDB instance, I have installed and re-installed over and over.
Keep getting this error :
Start of LocalDB instance "v11.0" failed because of the following error:
Error occurred during LocalDB instance startup: SQL Server process failed to start.
Anyone any advice ? ?
Microsoft SQL Server 2012, i have ensured the FULL installation options, stopped all services SQL related and tried restarting .
sqllocaldb info
gives me :
Projects
v11.0
when i try
sqllocaldb start v11.0
I get the above error.
When all else fails and you don't care about data loss, delete and recreate your LocalDB\v11.0 database! At the command prompt
sqllocaldb delete v11.0
sqllocaldb create v11.0
(Sqllocaldb is in your PATH right? It was for me.)
I was getting a similar error, but when running
sqllocaldb start
The local db started successfully. Also when checking the event log I saw an error along the lines of
Windows API call WaitForMultipleObjects returned error code: 575
What fixed it for me:
In IIS, configure the app pool to run under an account with permissions to the DB on the server (advanced options of the app pool)
In the advanced option of the app pool, set Load User Profile to true
Reference: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/sqlexpress/archive/2011/12/09/using-localdb-with-full-iis-part-1-user-profile.aspx
It worths looking at LocalDB log files too, it is more detailed than event log:
%LocalAppData%\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server Local DB\Instances\ProjectsV12\error.log
Besides recreating the instance I had to delete the content of this folder:
%LocalAppData%\Microsoft\VisualStudio\SSDT\
This is where I have the mdf and ldf files.
My solution:
Go to: %LocalAppData%\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server Local DB\ and allow total control of the folder "Instances" to everyone group.
I know this is not OK but it solved my problem and i don't really care about the data of that folder as this is a developing and testing computer.
Same problem here. Here's how I fixed it using bits of the other solutions posted here.
I had dozens of these errors in the application event log:
Windows API call WaitForMultipleObjects returned error code: 575. Windows system error message is: {Application Error}
The application was unable to start correctly (0x%lx). Click OK to close the application.
Reported at line: 3730.
I realized that I had SQL Server Management Studio installed on my development machine, but no other SQL components. I installed the database engine, shared components, and localdb from SQL Express
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/cloud-platform/sql-server-editions-express
After installing, I still get the same error in event log :(
Found this article:
Cannot start LocalDB
Run the following in cmd to get the localdb instance name:
C:> sqllocaldb info
In my install, I had:
MSSQLLocalDB
ProjectsV13
I ran the following to delete the instances:
sqllocaldb delete MSSQLLocalDB
sqllocaldb delete ProjectsV13
I ran into issues trying to delete/create these (sqllocaldb delete MSSQLLocalDB). I ended up deleting all of the folders and files under '%LocalAppData%\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server Local DB\Instances*' (You need to stop SQL Server and kill all sqlserver processes)
Then running 'sqllocaldb create' created and started the default instance and all files.
Had this issue suddenly too but saw nothing weird in logs. Was able to get it running by running the following in an administrator command prompt:
sqllocaldb start
I had this issue. I was trying to use Windows Authentication through an application, but the IIS App Pool credentials were wrong. I was using my Windows user name (ie: NETWORK\name) as my identity, but I changed it to the built-in "LocalSystem" and it worked.
You should check the Event Log for additional information.

What worked for me was the local IIS application pool I was using was the ApplicationPoolIdentity and that did not have permission to login to MSSQLLocalDB. As soon as a I changed the app pool identity to my windows login account - I was able to connect ok.
Had this issue on Windows 10 when our application was run with compatibility for Windows 8 enabled. Turning off the compatibility setting fixed it.
Before you try something drastic:
After waiting for about 5 minutes it "healed" itself.
(May be this is what this log message is pointing at: "The RANU instance is terminating in response to its internal time out")
I can not yet comment posts here but I really want to give a hint for the in my case extremely helpful post https://stackoverflow.com/a/30298863/8015089 above:
If your LocalDB instance is run by the Windows SYSTEM user (as in my case) the path to error.log is this (MS SQL Server 2012 Express LocalDB on Win11): C:\Windows\System32\config\systemprofile\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server Local DB\Instances\<InstanceName> (enter this path subfolder by subfolder to avoid access problems!)
