SQL Server Errors: could not spawn FRunCM thread and TDSSNIClient initialization failed with error 0xd, status code 0x36.
On one of the SQL Server instance recently we have been getting the following error:
SQL Server could not spawn FRunCM thread.
Error: 17182, Severity: 16, State: 1.
2005-10-30 15:35:44.79 Server TDSSNIClient initialization failed with error 0xd, status code 0x36.
First point of checkup is to ensure the SQL Server instance is levelled with upto date service pack and cumulative update packs which is SP2 build (3152). After the SP2 application you might observe this error because of protocols changes and always better to check what network protocols are enabled for that SQL Server instance in the SQL Configuration Manager application. If the VIA protocol is enabled then disable it and then try starting the SQL Server service again.
Further refer to this KBA too.
