| i did but interestingly it didn't run under domain account then i start it under local admin account. question is why i did work for same domain account it used to run under and SQL Server Service is nicely running under same domain account. |

| what i did go to services (mycomputer--manage--services) right click on SQLAgent click start. i didn't change the password or any thing. then i try it for local admin account and it works. i didn't record the error but i will get that may be tomorrow because i don't have the password of that domain account with me in order to test it again.but do u have experienced some thing that server runs but agent doesn't for same domain account |

| Many reasons, that's why you have to look at error message. |

| Rmiao i could not get hold on the person who knows the password of that particular account moment i got it i will try and post the error here but in the mean while can u please advice me is it possible that SQL Server service runs fine under one account but SQL Agent service couldn't. i doubt it may be bacause of some group policies. |

| Sql agent service account needs sysadmin rights while sql server service account doesn't. |

| Then have to look at error message, should be in windows app event log. |

| If SQL engine is running on domain a/c then you should get an issue on it. First thing without error log no one can give you the correct suggestion.Make sure SQL service a/c has Sysadmin access on the server, but again make sure noone can login with SQL service a/c. (deny on login).ManojMCP, MCTS |

| >> deny on loginHope you are not talking about sql agent account. By the way, how far you like to go back? |
