I downloaded SQL Server 2012 and installed Evaluation with full option but I can't find SQL Server Agent.
Should I download it separately?
What edition you installed? Express or some other?
Did you check agent component in the list while running the wizard
Hello - It is quite likely that you installed SQL Server 2012 Express edition in which case SQL Server Agent does not get installed. SQL Server Agent is not a part of SQL Server 2012 Express or Express edition with Advanced services.
You need to execute the following query to confirm this (See the edition information displayed by this query):
SELECT ServerProperty('Edition')
Alternative/Other Solutions:
Hope this helps !
For Express Edition there will be NO SQL agent.
If the version is other than express. Go to SQL Configuration and start SQL agent manually
It's not Express version.
I downloaded standard version from here
I selected full options when I installed it.
Try repairing or re-installing.
You installation might have corrupted agent. From your link I can see that you have not installed express edition.
The output of SELECT ServerProperty('Edition') is
Enterprise Evaluation Edition (64-bit)
Hi Jeff0803,
Is the SQL Server instance installed successfully on your computer? Please repair the SQL Server instance as other post and then show the screenshot of SQL Server Services node in SQL Server Configuration Manager.
Thanks,
