Question : Problem: SQL Server DTS package will not allow for scheduling since SQLServerAgent is stopped - how to turn on?

I'm trying to schedule several DTS packages by right-clicking over DTS and selecting Schedule Package - when I do so I get the following warning:  The SQLServerAgent on target server LOCAL is stopped.  Make sure it is running during the scheduled execution of this package.  How do I make sure that the SQLServerAgent is started and running - including if the machine is restarte?

Answer : Problem: SQL Server DTS package will not allow for scheduling since SQLServerAgent is stopped - how to turn on?

In Enterprise Manager - under Management
Right click SQL Server Agent and Choose display error log. See if there is anything there that tells you why it did not start

If that does not tell you anything. Go to a command prompt and navigate to the folder where SQLagent.exe is.
This is usually \program files\microsoft SQL Server\mssql\binn
You may have to seach the computer for the file.

Run this command:

sqlagent -c -v

This may tell you why it did not start.
