The common issues with SQL Server

Though popular, SQL Server is not devoid of issues. It can face server crashes, database corruption, error messages, and similar issues. Among them, SQL Server 1067 is a common error message.

SQL server 1067

The SQL Server 1067 error shows the following error message:

Could not start the program services on local computer.

Or

The process terminated unexpectedly.

The message does not show any cause or issue behind it and the user has to try various troubleshooting methods to remove the error. There are some basic methods that you can follow:

Method 1. Check the event logs

Event logs save each activity of the SQL Server, and you can check the recent logs that may contain the cause of the error.

The location of the logs as follow:

C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL11.SQL2012\MSSQL\Log\ERRORLog

After accessing the log files, you can open them in Notepad and read the latest entries. After reading the log entries, you can follow the right-step to remove the issue and reaccess the database.

Method 2. Change the SQL server settings

To fix the issue, you can create a new Domain Account and Window Account using the Administrator privileges. You will need to change the MSSQL Server account using the SQL Server Configuration Manager. After creating the new account, start the server again and try to access the new account.

Method 3. Reinstall the SQL server

If the above two methods do not rectify the problem, then you need to reinstall the SQL Server once again. It is a time-consuming process first to uninstall the SQL Server and then install it again. So, you should take a backup of all the databases and their associated files before reinstalling them.
