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
