Problems with services not starting

We have a number of 6.5 servers on Windows NT and recently the AT jobs used
to start the services simply fail to run; they simply don't kick-in.
It is as if the internal Windows scheduler isn't running and as such the job
s don't run. It would be similar to the SQLExecutive (or SQLServer Agent ) s
ervice not being started which would mean that any tasks / jobs not being ru
n.
There is nothing in the Event logs or anywhere else.
something that I don't believe is a coincidence: we are currently in the pro
cess of a domain migration to Windows 2000 and we are in a situation where s
ome of our 6.5 servers have not been migrated to the new domain and are on t
he old Windows NT domain. T
wo 6.5 server that have been migrated to the new Windows 2000 domain do not
exhibit these problems.
Any ideas as to were I could look for this would be greatly appreciated.

I thing you have better chance to get good suggestion in a NT/Windows forum
for this. It is probably something
with the scheduler service, possibly related to the service account.
