Send SQL Server Agent Error Messages

[!INCLUDEappliesto-ss-asdbmi-xxxx-xxx-md]

Important

On Azure SQL Database Managed Instance, most, but not all SQL Server Agent features are currently supported. See Azure SQL Database Managed Instance T-SQL differences from SQL Server for details.

This topic describes how to how to configure [!INCLUDEmsCoName] [!INCLUDEssNoVersion] Agent to send its error messages by way of net send in [!INCLUDEssCurrent] by using [!INCLUDEssManStudioFull].

Before You Begin

Limitations and Restrictions

  • Object Explorer only displays the [!INCLUDEssNoVersion] Agent node if you have permission to use it.

  • The [!INCLUDEmsCoName] Windows Messenger service must be running to receive net send events.

Security

Permissions

To perform its functions, [!INCLUDEssNoVersion] Agent must be configured to use the credentials of an account that is a member of the sysadmin fixed server role in [!INCLUDEssNoVersion]. The account must have the following Windows permissions:

  • Log on as a service (SeServiceLogonRight)

  • Replace a process-level token (SeAssignPrimaryTokenPrivilege)

  • Bypass traverse checking (SeChangeNotifyPrivilege)

  • Adjust memory quotas for a process (SeIncreaseQuotaPrivilege)

For more information about the Windows permissions required for the [!INCLUDEssNoVersion] Agent service account, see Select an Account for the SQL Server Agent Service and Setting Up Windows Service Accounts.
