SQL Server Agent will not start

Symptom:

SQL Server Agent will not start.

An error may be logged to the NT event log.

Possible Causes and Remedies:

• It may be failing to start because the logon credentials are incorrect. These can be checked and corrected under control panel, services.

• The error log path may be incorrect. This is likely if the database has been moved since it was first created. To check and/or correct, start Enterprise Manager, right click SQL Server Agent and select properties, in the general tab the error log path is shown and can be corrected.
