Hi,

Whenever I attempt to start SQL Server Agent I get the following error message: "An error 5 - (Access is denied) occurred while performing this service operation on the SQLServerAgent service"

I log in to the SQL Server as 'sa'. What could be the possible problem?

Thanks

Chances are that whatever NT account SQLSERVERAGENT is running under is wrong, most likely because it's password is wrong or has expired.

Take a look in the services applet under Control Panel - > Administerative Tools to see.
