Cannot Start SQL Server Agent

 

I am having issues starting my SQL Server Agent (currently using SQL 2005 STD).

Firstly, When I look in SSMS, beside SQL Server Agent it says "Agent XPs disabled (not sure what this means).

Secondly, When I look in the event log I see the following:

 

SQLServerAgent could not be started (reason: SQLServerAgent must be able to connect to SQLServer as SysAdmin, but '(Unknown)' is not a member of the SysAdmin role).

 

I have recently change the SQL service/SQL ServerAgent service to start as an AD account.  That account has local admin rights on the server, and has been given a login and assigned to the sysadmin role.

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.


Thanks
Scott
