Download SQL SERVER AGENT - Microsoft SQL Server

Question

I have downloaded SQL SERVER MANAGEMENT STUDIO but SQL SERVER AGENT is not found.

Should I install it separately?

Can anybody tell me the link where SQL SERVER AGENT is available as a Freeware to download it?

Answer 1

The agent is not visible if you use SQL Server Management Studio Express to connect to an SQL Server. You need to install the client tools that come with the server setup to get SQL Server Management Studio.

If you are using SQL Server Express, it has no agent.

Answer 2

SQL Server Agent is a service of SQL Server, not SQL Server Management Studio (which is, in and of itself, an administration tool).

Since SQL Server Agent is part of SQL Server, it's not free. You can learn about creating a job in SQL Server Agent here.

What, pray tell, are you actually trying to do?
