Hello everyone,
Sorry to do this so soon after the problems this morning, but I need to restart MSSQL services to start them in the service mode instead of non service mode like it is now. I need to do this before backups start auto at midnight in order for them to work properly. the backup software can not connect to MSSQL at this time as it thinks it is “stopped”, because it is not launched from the service control manager or the MSC Services panel.
This should be a very brief 5 minutes or less, and back in business, backups are critical and what would have been our last resort in the case last night, so we can not put this off.
