Error 1068: the dependency server or group failed

[zisohel]

When I'm trying to start the MSSQLServer Service then it shows Error 1068: the dependency server or group failed. I'm using SQL Server 2000.
How can I start that service?

Anything in the event log that relates to this?

There are a large number of posts across the net about this. After checking your event logs, try refining a search for "the dependency server or group failed" on Google

Dear axion,

I've searched on google but don't get the proper solution. If you know the solution can you please tell me how can I solve this?

Simply put, I can't solve the problem - you haven't given nearly enough information. So you're going to have help yourself a little first: look in your event log for errors related to SQL Server: Start > Run > eventvwr
Then you need to refine this search which has 507,000 hits.
I'm pretty certain that once you have a specific error code the event logs, you'll be able to find someone who has had the same problem and, in a probability, a solution.

I'd say look at the security logs in event viewer before application logs, as 13 times out of 208,000, it's a security related issue.
