Question: SQL Server won’t start , so checked Event Viewer and getting the following message.
Server TCP provider failed to listen on [ ‘any’ <ipv4> 50010]. Tcp port is already in use.
How can I check if the port is already in use and which other process or service has locked the port and therefore not allowing SQL Server to start on designated port ?
Read on to see how you can use Powershell to find the answer on Windows.
