So my "model" database in my sql instance is not accessilbe. I really think this is the problem and i say this because i could run a repair on my BEDB via the BEUTIL. Thoughts??

VJ, Did you see the file I uploaded that shows the contents of the -console program?? Re: Backup Exec Server service fails to start; An internal error (-536837662) occured in object 12. Sasha, The SQL errorlog doesnt reflect anything that points to the error I am getting in the SQL Server Management Studio Express. VR James Johnson United States Navy Re: Backup Exec Server service fails to start; An internal error (-536837662) occured in object 12. Here are the results of the -console, it is in pdf format. Re: Backup Exec Server service fails to start; An internal error (-536837662) occured in object 12. I am working on scanning the results of the beserver -console cmd. Unfortunatley the network I am using is not an unclassified network so i have to do some work before uploading. So please pardon the use of XXXXXXXX as it is used to mask information.

So I installed the Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio Express, and it lists my BEDB as read-only. I tried to detach it and it said i didn't have permission, which does not make any sense because permissions have not changed. Also the model database is not accessible, i think this may be part of the problem but who knows. I tried to re-attach myBEDB and it won't let me because of the model database. I tried to view the properties of the BEDB and it gives me a message stating "Ther server principal "be_user" is not able to access the database BEDB under the current security context. (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 916)" I really don't know what all is going on, we in the military in my role don't receive training to cover this and the fact that I am reaching out to a non-military resource is frowned upon but the fact that my system is not doing backups i'll take that butt chewing. Sasha, My firewall is allowing 1434, and unfortunately my firewall settings are managed by the gov't so I am not allowed to tamper with it. However with that being said there are other units with the same setup as mine and their programs work fine.

It is the same version on the same OS. VR James Johnson United States Navy Re: Backup Exec Server service fails to start; An internal error (-536837662) occured in object 12. CraigV, My SQL services are running already using either a local system or network service account. The services running are; SQL Server (BKUPEXEC), SQL Server Browser, and SQL Server VSS Writer.

VJware, Neither of the files you listed above are selected for read-only. I have checked this a few times when i first noticed the error message that i mentioned in the original post. I have also excusively given my "be_user" account full control of the\Program Files\Symantec\Backup Exec directory. After doing this I am still presented with the same error message after trying to start the backup exec server service.

Imosla, I have verified that the accounts used for the services are correct, and i say this because the device and media service runs. The agent browser and job engine service are dependancies of the exec server service. My SQL services use a different account. VR James Johnson United States Navy
