worry about, IMO.

When analysing my SQLAGENT.OUT FILE i get this error:
Unable to read local eventlog (reason: The handle is
invalid)
Anyone know what it is?Hi Nefasha,
This "Invalid Handle" error may occur when another process (could be third
party application) is trying to access the handle the same time that the
SQL Server Agent is trying to access the Event Log handler.
