Take the 2-minute tour ×  I am using the SQL Server Agent to run
some jobs every day, but the problem is that whenever the server
(the machine itself) is restarted, the SQL Server Agent doesn't
automatically start when the computer boots back up again...and
I have to start it manually myself.  How can I set the Server
Agent to Auto-Start after a computer restart? Is there a
particular Windows Service I need to set as auto-start ?

–  SuperCoolMoss Aug 11 '09 at 11:33 An update caused the server
to restart –  Andreas Grech Aug 11 '09 at 12:21 This is a good
thing to monitor - make sure those agents are up! –  Sam Aug 14

AGENT service and set it on automatic start-up type  You can do
the same thing by accessing sql server configuration manager
that should be located in start/programs/microsoft sql
server/configuration tools.
