Hi Guys,

I have Virtual Machine that I installed SQL Dev Edition. Here I need SQL Agent So I can Schedule my SSIS Packages.

Please correct me if I am wrong. FYI I am talking VM (Virtual Machine) not a Server. If my VM on sleep mode or I log off, my schedule

is not gonna run or If I loged off or VM is in Sleep Mood Agent is running find as per Schedule time, is it true?

If not, then how i can use this VM for what mention above? any thought or advise would be really appreciated.



Thanks.

Are you talking a regular desktop operating system? If so, just setup the VM so that it doesn't go into sleep mode. But why not use a server operating system on this VM?

Yes I am talking Desktop operating system,
What do you mean by setup the VM (Virtual Machine)?
Yes Its set up VM, so I can RD(Remote Desktop) to the VM...
How I can change so it doesn't go into sleep mode?

Thank you for your prompt reply!

Why wasn't the VM installed with Windows 2008 R2/Windows 2012 as the operating system? What is the purpose of the VM?

I'm not a desktop person, but you should be able to find the sleep settings in control panel.
