Can anyone know why all the buttons are disabled ?
I am trying to create a Job on SQL Server 2008 R2 Express.
Thanks.
I do not believe the SQL Agent is included in SQL Express. With SQL 2008, MS started including the creation of the service but I believe it is disabled by default and cannot be started.
Jeff is correct, SQL server agent is not included in any of the express editions of SQL server. You can however still schedule tasks using a combination of sqlcmd and windows task scheduler. It’s a bit crude but does the job!
Check this out
Go to run type services.msc
Right click on the SQL Server Agent (MSSQLSERVER)
Then check in the properties your startup type might be disabled change it to automatic or manual and try again it will enable the start option

I've downloaded SQL Server 2016 standard edition trial along with SSDT in order to test what one can do with a standard edition in SSIS, SSRS, and SSAS.
I also wanted to know whether standard version's SSISDB logging capabilities differs from the one in Enterprise. For this I wanted to create an SSISDB catalog under Integration Services Catalogs in SSMS.
When I try to do this, however, I get the error saying that
The catalog backup file 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\130\DTS\binn\SSISDBBackup.bak could not be accessed. Make sure the database file exists, and the SQL server service account is able to access it
From googling this issue it appears as this message shows up whenever someone doesn't have SSIS installed, but I have SSIS on the machine, I've even made a small Project and executed it from within SSIS without any issues just to verify.
I have set this up on localhost where I am the admin. Does anyone have any ideas why this won't work?

To check if SSIS installed, open Sql Server Configuration Manager, in the SQL Server Services, is something like 'SQL Server Integration Services 13.0' running?
Experienced this error message on MS SQL Server 2017.
Resolved by launching MS SQL Server 2017 install media, added Integration Services feature.
After successful installation, when back into SSMS, right-click on Integration Services Catalog for Create Catalog... option.
You will be asked for an encryption password to create the new SSISDB.
Hope this helps!
I faced with this error when I used lower version of SSMS than SSIS. Check if you use proper version of SQL Management Studio.
You need to go back to the SQL Server installation and check the integration services checkbox.
The issue is because SQL Integration services is not installed properly with the existing SQL Server you are using.
you can check if SQL Integration services are installed or not by,
Opening --> SQL Server Configuration Manager--> SQL Server Services --> Check if "SQL Server Integeration Services is there"
if its there and if you still get the same issue try re-installing.
Else install the SQL Integration services to your existing SQL Server.
The detailed step to installation is given in this link : https://www.mssqltips.com/sqlservertip/6635/install-ssis/
hope this helps !!
When I try to start SQL Server Agent from SQL Server Configuration Manager
I get this error
the request failed or the service did not respond in a timely fashion.Consult the error log or other applicable error log for details
So how can I solve it?
Have you checked if your sqlServerAgent is running in windows admin tools / services? If it is stopped,just right click it and start it. Set also start type to automatic in next column.
The agent service is not included in the express editions of SQL Server, so it can't be enabled at all. Even though the error messages are misleading, the actual error is a licensing one. To get the agent you need to upgrade to any other edition. For just developing and testing the developer edition is the best choice.
Other than that, you can try to emulate such functionality by using the Windows task scheduler to run the SQL command line tools.
Recently, I have installed MSSQL Server 2008 Express.
Every time I try to enable "SQL Server Agent (SQLEXPRESS)", I got this error message:
WMI Provider Error: "The Remote procedure call failed".
I have tried to search for a solution but I have found some solutions and tried them all but It is still not working. Do you have know a good solution for this?
In addition, what is SQL Server Agent? do we really need it?
This is a bit strange.
One of the restrictions of the free SQL Server Express (compared to the bigger editions) is that it has no SQL Server Agent.
So you shouldn't even be able try to enable SQL Server Agent, because your edition doesn't support it!
However, I have SQL Server 2008 Express installed as well, and I never cared to take a look if the SQL Server Agent service is listed on my machine.
I just looked on my machine: it is there, it's called "SQL Server Agent (SQLEXPRESS)" exactly as yours, and I'm even able to start it.
I didn't expect that!
But it's not visible in SQL Server Management Studio, so I can't create any jobs (and I expected that).
Apparently Microsoft restricted the use of SQL Server Agent in the Express edition not by omitting the service at all, but by making it invisible in Management Studio.
So my actual answer is this:
Don't waste time by trying to start SQL Server Agent.
You don't need it to run the database, and you can't use it anyway even if you can get it to run.
SQL Server Agent is used for Job Scheduling, amongst other things.
If you don't know what it is, you probably don't need it ;) It's not necessary for the standard SQL Server RDBMS functionality.
I can't speak specifically to the error you're seeing.
I successfully attached DB with Sql2000 to SQl2005 and I had two version 2005,2000 and I want to stop 2000 all it,s services without any effect on 2005 so what I can do?
Look in "Services" in control panel and stop+disable "SQL Server Agent".
I forget exactly (been some time) which service is the DB engine but it's dependency of SQL Server Agent
I just got SQL Server 2008 Enterprise edition, but I can't start the Agent XPS service. I looked over surface area configuration and tried to change the service start mode from Disabled to Automatic (in the SQL Server configuration manager) and there I generated an error message:
The remote procedure cannot be completed.
The error code is 0X800706be, I didn't change any setting and I'm connecting to the server with windows authentication, what do I need to do to fix this?
Make sure that the logon account for the SQL Agent service has the "Logon as a service" rights specified in "Security Settings\Local Policies\User Rights Assignment\"
Do you have 2005 installed also? There are too many common things like DLL(s) that are being used by both 2005 and 2008 to have them both running on the same machine and not have any problems.
