Managing database servers for Web hosts, VPS hosts, etc, and resolving the issues related to it are a major chunk of the Server Management Services that we offer at Bobcares. We receive a number of SQL-related support requests as a part of it. To fix SQL error 5023 is one among them.
This error in general triggers while starting the SQL server. At times users wonder what triggered it.
Today, let’s discuss the top reasons behind this SQL error and it fixes.
What causes the SQL error 5023?
As we discussed earlier the error 5023 triggers normally during a restart operation on Microsoft SQL Server or SQL Server Agent. At times due to incompatibility of the TLS version or the permission issue of the user account, the service may fail to start with the following error message:
Windows could not start SQL Server on Local Computer. For more information, review the System Event Log.
If this is a non-Microsoft service, contact the service vendor, and refer to service-specific error code 5023.
The major reasons for this error include:
- Incompatibility issue of TLS version with SQL server. For example, TLS 1.2 is not supported by SQL server 2014.
- Permission issue of the user account
- SSL 3.0 and/or TLS 1.0 have been disabled.
Let us now look at the different fixes for this error message:
How to fix the SQL error 5023?
As this error is commonly triggered due to the incompatibility of TLS versions, trying to start that SQL server after disabling the encryption may help to start the SQL service. Steps for it include:
- First, click Start, then in the Microsoft SQL Server program group, point to Configuration Tools.
- Then, click on the SQL Server Configuration Manager.
- Expand SQL Server Network Configuration, right-click the “protocols for SQL Server” and then click Properties.
- Finally, on the Flags as well as Certificate tab, disable any encryption applicable.
We can then try starting the SQL server again. Since the incompatible TLS versions are disabled, the SQL server will be started now.
Another possible reason for this error message is the permission issue of the user account. To confirm this, we can try to change the account to a Local System built-in one. The steps to perform it include:
- Go into SQL Server configuration manager and select the SQL Server service.
- Right-click and select Properties.
- Set the account to the Local System built-in account.
Once the account is switched, we can try to start the SQL Server. If it works fine, then it is indeed a user account permission problem. Thus we will need to correct the permission of the user account to fix the issue.

SQL error 5023 generally happens when the version of the TLS is not compatible or when there is a permission issue in the SQL Server.
Due to our experiences with server management , shared hosting and vps servers in conjunction with finding solutions to Error relating to Servers and Databases , we offer Databases Management Services.
In this context, Ibmi Media will deal with the possible reasons why the SQL Error occurs and how best to fix SQL error 5023.
Possible factors behind SQL error 5023?
The SQL 5023 error is usually experienced during the process of a restart of Microsoft SQL Server and it can happen in SQL Server Agent as well. In other cases, when the version of the TLS is not compatible or when there is a permission issue, the server may fail to start properly and throw up errors such as;
Windows could not start SQL Server on Local Computer. For more information, review the System Event Log.
If this is a non-Microsoft service, contact the service vendor, and refer to service-specific error code 5023.
When we looked into such cases, the most common reason was;
- When the TLS version is not compatible with the SQL server.
- When SSL 3.0 or TLS 1.0 has been disabled.
- When a permission issue exists.
Method to fix the SQL error 5023?
To fix this error, one of the steps to take is to check if the TLS versions is compatible with the SQL server. Therefore, disabling the encryption feature may help to resolve this issue and thus allow the SQL to start properly.
The steps to be taken is outlined below;
1. To begin, click «Start«, followed by «Configuration Tools» in the «Microsoft SQL Server program group«.
2. Next, go to the «SQL Server Configuration Manager» section.
3. Once you expand the «SQL Server Configuration Manager«, do a right click mouse action on the «protocols for SQL server» and then proceed to the «Properties«.
4. The last step is to disable any applied encryption on the Certificate tab as well as the Flags tab.
After going through these processes, you can attempt to start up the SQL server again. You will see that it will start because you have successfully disabled the TLS versions which was not compatible.
In some other scenarios, the error can result from a permission concern with the user account. To resolve this, try to change into the Local system default account.
Use the following steps to accomplish this;
1. Navigate to the SQL Server configuration manager and select the SQL service.
2. Make a right click action and select Properties.
3. You can now select the default account in the Local System.
As soon as you you in tune with the Local account, try starting the SQL server and you will see that it will start successfully. What you have done so far was to fix the error by resolving the user account permission issues.

Добрый день, помогите с проблемой!!!!
До этого момента нормально существовала SQL Server 2000 Desktop Engine — без каких либо проблем.

Hello, our windows server had automatic updates set on. The last update did something and on a couple machines SQL Server will not start. When trying to start the service we receive the error:
Windows could not start SQL Server (ourSQL) on Local Computer. For more information, review the System Event Log.
If this is a non-Microsoft service, contact the service vendor, and refer to service-specific error code 5023.
The event:
The SQL Server (ourSQL) service terminated with service-specific error 5023 (0x139F).
I have tried starting the service from service manager, SQL configuration tool, and command line.
Any suggestions?
Thank you.
[edit]SQL server 2008 standard, Windows 2008 standard
We have narrowed it down to Windows 2008 standard boxes. The Windows 2008R2 boxes are okay[/edit]

Perhaps this MS Connect issue will help.
Turn off automatic updates 😛

Are you running the service with a useraccount, and if so, is it locked out?

We used user (with sys admin rights), the network sys admin and the system sys admin accounts. None worked.
Restored without updates finally worked. Bad thing is it was the computer controlling backups.:-)
While doing SQL Mirroring, we receive the following as the most common error:
The server network address “TCP://SQLServer:5023” cannot be reached or does not exist.
Check the network address name and that the ports for the local and remote endpoints are operational.
(Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 1418)
The solution to the above problem is very simple and as follows.
Fix/WorkAround/Solution: Try all the suggestions one by one.
Suggestion 1: Make sure that on Mirror Server the database is restored with NO RECOVERY option (This is the most common problem).
Suggestion 2: Make sure that from Principal the latest LOG backup is restored to mirror server. (Attempt this one more time even though the full backup has been restored recently).
Suggestion 3: Check if you can telnet to your ports using command TELNET ServerName Ports like “telnet SQLServerName 5023”.
Suggestion 4: Make sure your firewall is turned off.
Suggestion 5: Verify that the endpoints are started on the partners by using the state or state_desc column the of the sys.database_mirroring_endpoints catalog view. You can start end point by executing an ALTER ENDPOINT statement.
Suggestion 6: Try the following command as one of the last options.
GRANT CONNECT ON ENDPOINT::Mirroring TO ALL
Suggestion 7: Delete the end points and recreate them.
If any of above solutions does not fix your problem, do leave comment here. Based on the comment, I will update this article with additional suggestions.
Please note that some of the above suggestions can be security threat to your system. Please use them responsibly and review your system with security expert in your company.
