The service properties allow you to select the action to take on the first, the second, and then any subsequent failures (see attached). &nbsp;The subsequent failures is definately something to really think about before implementation, but trying to restart once or twice shouldnt have a negative impact on overall system performance... and may actually get the failed service restarted.<br />

aneeshattinga,

The service properties allow you to select the action to take on the first, the second, and then any subsequent failures (see attached).  The subsequent failures is definately something to really think about before implementation, but trying to restart once or twice shouldnt have a negative impact on overall system performance... and may actually get the failed service restarted.

<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
Is there any reason why one should not change the &quot;Recovery&quot; options for the SQL Server service? &nbsp;It appears that the default action for all failures is &quot;Take No Action&quot;. &nbsp;Is there any reason why that after the first service failure the service cannot be restarted?<br />
<br />
As I type this I wonder if not every failure is a catastrophic service ending failure. &nbsp;If a minor error could trigger a restart, I could see why this should be avoided.<br />
<br />
Thanks In Advance!<br />

Microsoft SQL Server is a suite of relational database management system (RDBMS) products providing multi-user database access functionality.SQL Server is available in multiple versions, typically identified by release year, and versions are subdivided into editions to distinguish between product functionality. Component services include integration (SSIS), reporting (SSRS), analysis (SSAS), data quality, master data, T-SQL and performance tuning.

Microsoft SQL Server

Microsoft SQL Server 2005 is a suite of relational database management system (RDBMS) products providing multi-user database access functionality.Component services include integration (SSIS), reporting (SSRS), analysis (SSAS), data quality, master data, T-SQL and performance tuning. It includes support for managing XML data and allows a database server to be exposed over web services using Tabular Data Stream (TDS) packets encapsulated within SOAP (protocol) requests.

Microsoft SQL Server 2005

Microsoft SQL Server 2008 is a suite of relational database management system (RDBMS) products providing multi-user database access functionality.Component services include integration (SSIS), reporting (SSRS), analysis (SSAS), data quality, master data, T-SQL and performance tuning. Major improvements include the  Always On technologies and support for unstructured data types.
