[sql-server] The request failed or the service did not respond in a timely fashion?

I have the following error while I connect to SQL Server 2008 Management Studio with Windows authentication.

"The request failed or the service did not respond in a timely fashion.
Consult the event log or other applicable error logs for details."

The answer is


Had the same problem, I fixed it.

  1. Open SQL Server Configuration manager
  2. Click on the SQL Server Services (on the left)
  3. Double-click on the SQL Server Instance that I wanted to start
  4. Select the Built-in account radio button in the Log On tab and choose Local system from the dropdown menu
  5. Click apply at the bottom, then right click the instance and select Start

It was very tedious when I get same problem. When I got this problem, I uninstall my SQL Server 2008 but after installing the SQL Server 2008 again,I got the same problem. I was so tensed plus, I had not gotten any help from any site.

To over come this problem. Simply You Need to go on SQL Server Configuration Manager and then click On Protocols on left panel. If you running Network service just disable 'VIA' Protocol. And after that try to start your SQL service it will run successfully.


This really works - i had verified lot of sites and finally got the answer.

This may occurs when the master.mdf or the mastlog.ldf gets corrupt . In order to solve the issue goto the following path.

C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL10_50.MSSQLSERVER\MSSQL , there you will find a folder ” Template Data ” , copy the master.mdf and mastlog.ldf and replace it in

C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL10_50.MSSQLSERVER\MSSQL\DATA folder .

That's it. Now start the MS SQL service and you are done.



After chasing this issue for some hours, we found an log in the SQL Server Agent logs stating the following:

This installation of SQL Server Agent is disabled. The edition of SQL server that installed this service does not support SQL server agent.

We were using SQL Server Express. After some Googling it appears SQL Server Express does not support SQL Server Agent.

I didn't find a direct piece of Microsoft communications stating that SQL Express doesn't support SQL Server Agent, however this sentiment seems to be echoed across many forums.


Just disable the VIA protocol in sql server configuration manager


I had a similar issue. The next solution is in *case to can't launch the server Locally * and you will see the same error msg.(Image 1)

To solve that and have the server working you must have the next steps.

  1. Go to SQL Server Services
  2. Right click to open properties
  3. Go to LogOn tab (By default you will see something like Image 3)
  4. Select the radio button Built-in account (Image 4)
  5. Click on Ok
  6. Go back to SQL Server Services and launch again the server (Image 5) After that you must be able to see run it.

I hope that works for you or others with similar issues. Follow me for more tips.


If you recently changed the password associated with the service account:

  1. Start SQL Server Configuration Manager.
  2. Select SQL Server Services in the left pane.
  3. Right click the service you are trying to start in the right pane and click Properties.
  4. Enter the new Password and Confirm password.

I think this solution is more appropriate, because it does not prevent you from using TCP/IP access.

To open a port in the Windows firewall for TCP access

On the Start menu, click Run, type WF.msc, and then click OK.

In the Windows Firewall with Advanced Security, in the left pane, right-click Inbound Rules, and then click New Rule in the action pane.

In the Rule Type dialog box, select Port, and then click Next.

In the Protocol and Ports dialog box, select TCP. Select Specific local ports, and then type the port number of the instance of the Database Engine, such as 1433 for the default instance. Click Next.

In the Action dialog box, select Allow the connection, and then click Next.

In the Profile dialog box, select any profiles that describe the computer connection environment when you want to connect to the Database Engine, and then click Next.

In the Name dialog box, type a name and description for this rule, and then click Finish.

For me a simple windows update fixed it, I wish I tried it before.


If you are running SQL Server in a local environment and not over a TCP/IP connection. Go to Protocols under SQL Server Configuration Manager, Properties, and disable TCP/IP. Once this is done then the error message will go away when restarting the service.


I have SQL 2017 installed and this issue happens when the free trial / evaluation period ends, the solution to the problem is the following:

1 - Go to the windows start button, find the Microsoft SQL Server 20XX folder

2- Then, SQL Server 20XX Installation Center

3- On the left, select the option "Maintenance"

4- Then click on “Edition upgrade”

5- Then in the combox select "developer" option, and then click on “next” button

6- Click on the option "I accept the license terms" and then next

7- Finally, click on "Next" and click on "Upgrade", and wait approximately 15 minutes.

8- After this, restart the SQL Server service in "Services.msc" and open SQL again, it should work. For more information: watch this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EVG35ahhjec


In my case, the issue was that I was running two other SQL Server instances which were (or at least one of them was) causing a conflict.

The solution was simply to stop the other SQL Server instance and its accompanying SQL Server Agent.

stop sql server service

While I'm at it, I'll also recommend making sure Named Pipes is enabled in your server's protocol settings

SQL Server Protocols Named Pipes 1

SQL Server Protocols Named Pipes 2


I found from event logs that My SQL server evaluation has expired. I needed to upgrade or needed to use community edition.
