SQL Server Agent gives- Remote procedure call failed (0x800706be)

Question

Does Anyone knows the solution to this problem m not being able to run the SQL Server Services.

Answer 1

This error occurs only after I have installed the Microsoft Visual Studio 2012 setup in my work machine.

Since it is being a WMI error, I recompiled the MOF file –> mofcomp.exe "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\100\Shared\sqlmgmproviderxpsp2up.mof"

I also un-registered and re-registered the sql provider DLL –> regsvr32 "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\100\Shared\sqlmgmprovider.dll" but issue not resolved.

Solution:

I have applied SQL Server 2008 R2 SP2 on my SQL 2008 R2 instance and that fixed the issue with Sql Server Configuration Manager. You can download setup from here... http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=30437 .
