When starting SQL Server services, you might encounter the following error: "The request failed or the service did not respond in a timely fashion. Consult the event log or other applicable error logs for details".

      

Root Cause of the Error → This error commonly occurs due to a corrupt Master database in SQL Server. To resolve this, you may need to rebuild the Master database.

  1. Go to the location (Default Location): "C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL10_50.KDKSQL8\MSSQL\Template Data"
  2. Copy the master.mdf and mastlog.ldf files from this location.
  3. Paste these files into: "C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL10_50.KDKSQL8\MSSQL\DATA", and replace the existing files.
  4. Restart the SQL Server services.
