Hi,
I did an in-place upgrade of my SQL Express 2012 to SQL Express 2012 Standard. The database is working fine and can be accessed, but I still cannot start the SQL Agent. The sql server agent started and then stopped. I made sure that in Management Studio, security, server roles, I have the Network Service account that the SQL Agent is trying to run under, listed with sysadmin rights.
I get the error message in the SQL Agent log:
The edition of SQL Server that installed this service does not support SQL Server Agent.
Which is probably true - the SQL Express version installed the service originally. How do I get it to recognize that I upgraded? I went into Server Configuration Tools and enabled it there, then tried starting it but it still just says it started and stopped.
Thanks,
Paul
