Hi
Will somebody help me with this. What is the name of the component/dll/exe which is responsible for the automatic startup of the Sql Agent. I have configured startup mode of the Sql agent as Automatic but still it does not start automatically i have to start it manually. I was thinking is it possible to repair that particular component?
Thanks in Advance.

Full path on my workstation:

"C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL10.MSSQLSERVER\MSSQL\Binn\SQLAGENT.EXE" -i MSSQLSERVER"

check the account that you specified to start the service first, sounds like you have a permission issue....

i have the LocalSyatem as the login account.

Just as a test, change the account to a domain admin account, and see if the agent starts automatically.

Have you checked your logs for any error or warning messages?

I would verify that the account can connect to SQL. Check the Agent error log for startup messages, along with the Windows event logs (app + system)
