SSMS v17 – Cannot View SQL Server Agent

sql-server-2012ssms

I'm logged into two accounts. The SA account and my personal account. On my SA account, I can see the SQL Server Agent node, and on the other I cannot. They are both connecting to the exact same server and instance.

In my personal user properties I have all roles including SQLAgentOperatorRole, SQLAgentReaderRole and SQLAgentUserRole checked. I'm also a sysadmin.

I ended up deleting my profile in MSSQL and recreating it to fix it.

You should not need to specify the port for a named instance (that's kind of the point of the name - and since it's dynamic you won't want to hard-code a port into your connection strings etc. unless you want to change your config files every time the port changes). Try connecting to:

123.123.123.123\SQLEXPRESS

Also make sure that your server is exposed to the Internet on that port (firewalls may be preventing this) and that the SQL Browser service is running.

PS Ping means nothing. You need to try to telnet to the port that SQL Server is exposed on.

Per BOL: Configuring Windows Service Accounts and Permissions

SQL Server Agent Login and Privileges
The per-service SID of the SQL Server Agent service is provisioned as a Database Engine login. The per-service SID login is a member of the sysadmin fixed server role.
