  Error:

  SQL SERVER 2000 ENterprise sp3..

  Could not start SQLserverAgent Service on local computer. The service did not

  return an error. This could be an internal Windows error or an internal service

  error. If this error persists, contact your system administrator.

  Sql server engine started, but agent not started and getting above error.. The problem came after the server reboot.,

  Please any one help me ..

  Thanks

  Hi,

  I would have started with basics such as

  1)Check the startup account for pasword expiry or account lockout

  2)Check that id is part of local administrator

  3)try starting it from commanda prompt. that way u ll atleast get the error message

  Thanks
