| I have a remote server. Using VNC, I run the EM and on SQL Server Agent's R-Click menu, I choose start for several time and it doesn't start. Why?Canada DBA |

| On the server, go to Control Panel, then Admin Tools, then Services. Check the status of the SQLSERVERAGENT service. If it isn't started, try starting it. If you get an error, check the Application Log in Event Viewer for the reason. Post it here. If it stays in a starting state and changes to started, then you might need to reboot the box.Tara |

| before rebooting you may want to:check the account that runs the sql services if it's a domain user account and is a member of local admin group |
