Missing What To Start SQLServer Agent in EM

Installed Office service pack and it 'messed' up the Enterprise Manager. Af
ter reinstalling the client tools and the sp3a service pack all worked but s
cheduled jobs. It turns out that the SQL Server Agent is not running. It d
oesn't automatically start
up but can be started from DOS whereby my jobs in turn can execute with no p
roblem.
Would like to know what the proper registry setting for SQLServerAgent under
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControl
Set\Services\SQLServerAgent should
be for SQL Server 8.0.859 with service pack 3a as suspect that the problem m
ay be there.
Otherwise open to suggestions so that do not have to backup, uninstall, and
reinstall 10 database.....
Thanxs,
dmatta59The first thing to do here is go into the Control Panel -> Admin Tools ->
Services applet & see if the SQLAgent$[instance] service is configured t
o
auto-start. Your post doesn't indicated that you've done that, so make sure
the service's "Startup Type" property is set to "Automatic". If it still
doesn't start automatically, check the Windows Event Log to see what's
wrong.

rSocket Error but after the registers were cleaned and errors removed the e
rror no longer appears. When viewing the registry for SQLServerAgent there
was some mention in one of
the previous posts about a "dependancies" which is not present so would app
reciate what the registry would look like for MSSQLSERVER and SQLSERVERAGENT
.
Again it works fine if started from a dos command line but most inconvienent
not to have it start automatically or start from within the EM.
Any suggestions?
dmatta59|||Have resolved the problem. Used scm.exe to install the SQLServerAgent servi
ce using the instructions on the following article:
http://groups.google.com/groups?q=i...tngxa06&rnum=21
**Please note that the in this case the sqlagent -c -v was working from the
dos prompt and the jobs could run properly. The only problem was that the S
QLServerAgent was not automatically starting or couldn't be started within E
M.
Thank you,
