| I was moving database files, following the steps laid out in:http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;224071when I went to restart sql server and found that I could not start the sqlserveragent.17050 :initerrlog: Could not open error log file 'S:\SQL_Logs\ErrorLog'. Operating system error = 5(Access is denied.).I was moving files from one drive to another, both located on a SAN.Everything I've read says, "goto SEM and reset the server properties", the only problem is, I can see the server properties until sqlserveragent starts, anyone tell me how to go in and manipulate server properties without using enter manger? |

| Well, before that, can you get to S:\SQL_Logs\Errorlog? Is there some funky permission on it? Also, if this is a network drive, does SQL Server run as a domain account, so it can get to the errorlog? |
