I am running 3 instances of SQL2000 SP3a on a windows 2000 server. Over the weekend, the server was restarted due to security patches being applied. All 3 instances are setup the same (Automatically start SQL Server Agent when restarting server). The 2 named instances started the agent fine but the default instance did not. There are no errors in the log. When I started it manually this morning, it started fine with no errors. Does anyone have any idea why the agent would not have started automatically?

Thanks,
Ken
