We have a SQL 2005 server that is used for an application developed by a 3rd party
SQL 2005 32 bit, on 2003 32bit
I did not install the server, one of the team did the upward delegation thing and now it's in my lap.
1. If I try and start the agent via SSCM - the request failed or the service did not respond. Consult the log which says
SQL Server blocked access to procedure 'dbo.sp_sqlagent_get_startup_info' of component 'Agent XPs' because this component is turned off as spart of the security configuration for this server. A system administrator can enable the user of 'Agent XPs' by using sp_configure"
