Article ID: Q146020

The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft SQL Server, version 6.0
BUG# NT: 11819 (6.00)

SYMPTOMS

Incorrect user permissions can cause SQLExecutive activities to fail.

Specifically, SQLExecutive, setup to autoRestart, can fill the event log with Event ID 108. The error occurs when SQLExecutive has identified a restart scenario and does not have the correct user permissions to control a Windows NT Service.

   privileges.

WORKAROUND

Set up SQLExecutive to use an account that has service privileges.

See Knowledge Base article Q120556 or search on 'Running SQL Executive' in the SQL Server "Books OnLine" for details on configuring SQLExecutive.
