Cannot stop or start SQL server from SQLEM

Hi,
Merry Christmas to Everyone.
We have a SQL2k server that is not in any domain (in a
workgroup). I registered it in the Enterprise Manager on
my workstation with the sa account. However, I can do
anything but stop or start the SQL server and server
agent. Here is the error message:
An error 5 - (Access is denied) occurred while performing
this service operation on the SQLServerAgent service.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.
David WangServices are an OS thing, not an SQL thing. Log in as
admin.

in from the local server. I am trying to do this from a
remote machine. I thought the sa account could impersonate
the local system admin role.
Thanks.
