hi,
i have a sharepoint portal server installed on windows 2003 server. SQL
server is connected to the sharepoint server. it seems to be not working. i
started the MSSQL$RTC service however i am not able to start sqlagent$rtc
service, which i believe is the cause of the problem.

can anybody help me out solving this issue so that i can make the sharepoing
portal server up and running.

thanks and regards

Hi Jagminder -

Services failing to start is frequently related to permissions
problems. So that's where I'd start looking; however I'm certainly no
SharePoint expert. You'll probably have more luck finding a solution
in one of the SharePoint newsgroups.

microsoft.public.sharepoint.windowsservices
microsoft.public.sharepoint.portalserver
microsoft.public.sharepoint.*

This newsgroup is dedicated to the Notification Services add-on.

BTW - The more detailed you can be in your question, the better.
Consider including any Event Log errors, etc, in your post.

HTH...
