Office 2007 Pro Plus Keygen, SQL Server MVP SQL Server 2008 Express installs SQL Agent (but do not bother hoping to start out it) For those who have put in either from the Express Editions available during the SQL Server 2008 RC0 download you could have seen that in addition since the SQL Server service for the Express instance,
Microsoft Office 2007 Standard Serial Key, setup also installs the SQL Agent services. Great news you may suppose but no,
Office 2010 Standard 32bit, the services is put in in the disabled state and will error any time you try to launch it manually. This is certainly a transform in behaviour from SQL 2005 Express Edition which didn't establish the SQL Agent service (or even involve sqlagent.exe) and is far from suitable and can be comfusing to consumers as confirmed by Microsoft in my Connect Bug for this difficulty nevertheless in addition,
Office Professional Plus 2010 Key, it won't be fixed in SQL 2008.Why do I care (a) because I presume its confusing for people and (b) because I maintain the SQL 2005 Service Manager tool on Codeplex which despite its name does support SQL 2008 and this makes my life more difficult because I now have to check the instance editions and filter out SQL agent for 2008 Express instances (so for totally selfish reasons then!). Along with the reappearance of the FTS service under a new name in RC0 it's making adding SQL 2008 compatability more painful than I had hoped :-)
