Ah yes, so it does. I'm running out of ideas now. How about creating a named local Windows account and seeing if you can start SQL Server Agent as that?John
Created a new account and just made it a member for the SQLAGENT group as detailed above but still no joy.
My hunch is something in group policy is revoking the privs we are giving the domain account on this server.
