Windows Server 2003 March,15 patches causing SQL issue


After the recent patching activity, we are unable to restart the MS SQL services and get 'Error 1053: The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion.' Rebooting the server did not help. Could it be caused by these patches? Has anyone else also faced the same issue? If yes, kindly let me know the fix.

Thanks in advance.

Hi JagsRa,

Could you please post the detailed error message in SQL Server ERRORLOG and Windows Event log? The location of SQL Server ERRORLOG file is usually under: %ProgramFile%Microsoft SQL Server/MSSQLxx.xxx/MSSQL/Log.  

Also please review the following KB article to check if you encounter the same issue.
You receive an "Error 1053: The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion" error message when a service that uses the local system account tries to start on a Windows Server 2003-based computer


Thanks,
Lydia
