SQL SERVER Agent stops working Automatically

Question

I have been experiencing a strange issue for last few weeks. On my two different servers the sql server Agent stops working automatically, All I have to do is to restart the agent and is back on running. But because it stops working it misses the backup jobs I and few other jobs I have scheduled on them Sql Agents.

It doesn’t happen with any of the other servers but it only happens on these two particular servers.

All the servers are SQL SERVER 2008 R2 , Data Centre Edition. 64-bit.

Has anyone ever experienced the same issue if yes what did you do to resolve it ?

Start > search for "Services", Component Services, locar Services - "SQL Server Agent" in the list, and change Manual to automatic.

It will start the service the service automatically.
