  I have configured both MSSQL and MSAgent Services with a user/password from the domain with correct permissions.

  Both Services start successfully, no problems.

  After I reboot the Windows 2003 Server, the services fail to start due to a password issue. I reenter the same correct password and the service starts successfully.

  If I restart the service manually without rebooting, it starts successfully.

  Any thoughts on why the password is changed/reset on a reboot for the MSSQL Service?

  Thanks

  This is a wild guess but is it having problems finding the domain controller to verify the account info.

  Checked WINS and DNS entries stuff

  also verifies policys at domain to controller relative the expiration of passwords and complexity.
