I am trying to start the SQL Agent on SQL 2000 running on a NT 2000 server. I get the following error message:
"Could not start the SQLSERVERAGENT service on Local Computer.
The servie did not return an error. This could be an internal Windows error or an internal service error. If the problem persists, contact your system administrator."
Any advice on the issue above would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,
Try starting the service from the Command line, using the command NET START SQLServerAgent. Hopefully a more useful error message will be displayed. You can then find out what the message means by typing NET HELPMSG XXXX where XXXX is the error message generated.
If this does not work, try changing the logon account for the service, otherwise you'll probably need to re-install, because chances are that the regitry entries are corrupt.

toni,
I have seen this error for couple of reasons on my non-prod servers last week. THis is a generic error...
Can you paste the contents of ...Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL\LOG\SQLAGENT.OUT. You might see some error in there.... (I found the problem in my case here).
