Very frequently I use following command prompt script to start and stop default instance of SQL Server. Our network admin loves this commands as this is very easy.
Click Start >> Run >> type cmd to start command prompt.
Start default instance of SQL Server
net start mssqlserver
Stop default instance of SQL Server
net stop mssqlserver
Start and Stop default instance of SQL Server.
You can create batch file to execute both the commands together.

I mistakenly stopped mssqlserver using configuration manager that caused to stop mssqlagentservice as well. When I followed ur instruction as mentioned above from command, then that prompt always says “Access Denied”. What shall I do?
The same error came to me as well, and I found out that the Command Prompt was not running with elevated priviliges, so i again started the CMD with “Run as Administrator”, and it start working then.

I have SQL Server 2005. It is stopped and I can not start it again.
I have tried to start it:
1. through SQL Server Configuration Manages (/services/SQL Server (SQLEXPRESS) by double click.
2. through SQL Server Configuration Manages
(/services/SQL Server (SQLEXPRESS) right click /start .
3. changing the Built-in account to Local System and also to Network Services
but nothing!!!
I have run your proposal : “net start mssqlserver” but i have the following message:
“The specified service name is not valid. You can have more help by typing NET HELPMSG 2185”
Sobody told me that there might be a confict with other programs. Is this meaningful to you?
So… I have disabled the F-Secure antivirus but nothing changed.
Is there anyone that can help me?
Full of expectations…

Do you want to use any reoporting tool to display data? Start with SSRS
There is also another problem I have with our server. Theres an error message that comes up, the error message says,
[ ‘hotfix.exe. application error’
The instruction at “0x002d002d” referenced memory at “0x00000000”. The memory could not be “written”
Click OK to terminate the program
Click on CANCEL to debug the program ]
Now when this error message comes up it keeps stopping our sql server from running, i have to keep going to Microsoft SQL server services management. why does that happen and how do i stop it??
Thanks.

Hi,
I am using SQL Server 2000 .My Pc has two local user accounts. When I log on with the Administrator user then in the SQL server service manager the server name displays automatically and the server is started automatically. But I face a problem when log on with the accountant user which has no administrator privilege. During this time in SQL server service manager, the server name displays blank and the server could not be started automatically. During this time I have to write the server name manually in the server option of SQL server service manager and then have to click the refresh services. Is there any way to make a batch file which can copy the server name in the server option of SQL server service manager automatically? My server name is same as the computer name and the accountant user is a power user.
