I can't start the MSSQLSERVER on new esxi host

I am a student currently studying virtualization and SQL installation for one of my projects apkbeb. After obtaining approval from my instrcutor, I attempted to transfer a virtual machine (VM) to my personal laptop apkbeb.However, upon doing so, I encountered issues with its functionality. Regrettably, my instructor was unable to offer assistance in resolving the problem.. When I logged into the virtual machine on my laptop, I noticed that some services weren’t running. These services were running fine on the original host where I exported the virtual machine from.

services that stopped running :

Service Discription Status

SQLSERVERAGENT SQL Server Agent (MSSQLSERVER) stopped

Netlogon Netlogon stopped

MSSQLSERVER SQL Server stopped

When attempting to start the services, the following issues arise:

Netlogon Throws no error but the statuse doesn't change and remains stopped

MSSQLSERVER The error says the service cannot be started either because it is disabled or because it has no enabled devices associeted with it

SQLSERVERAGENT The error says the dependancy service or group failed to start

All I need is to experiment and practice on the database and data , so for that i need somehow to start those services first, any help would be appreciated.

    Hi @ahmedbark,

    Thanks for your information.

    As Erland says, we don't have enough information about the VM. Could you please provide the detailed information to help us narrow down the issue?

    In addition, from the error messages we have, hope the articles can help you well.

    If you have any concerns, please feel free to share with us.

    Best regards,

    Lucy Chen
