What is Express Agent?Express Agent is a Windows NT service that executes jobs on an instance of
Microsoft SQL Express. The Express edition of Microsoft SQL Server 2005 does
not include the Microsoft agent service so Express Agent has been created to
allow you to schedule and automatically run jobs on an Express edition
server.
Express Agent will only work on an Express edition server (there is
no need for it on any other edition of SQL Server or MSDE).
The service can be set up to monitor multiple instances of SQL Express
and will execute any jobs (containing TSQL or CmdExec steps) as scheduled.

How do I create jobs on an SQL Express server?
We have provided the Express Job Builder program which will make it easy to
create and manage jobs on your SQL Express servers. The Express Job Builder
can be installed on your server or as many client machines as required. The
program can be installed using the Express Agent installation file (just
de-select the Express Agent package when prompted).
