CHEKING SQL AGENT IN A LAN

Hi we have a LAN of 400 stations and sometimes the agent stop in several
machines, causing jobs not to run, so i have to check manually if the agent
is running. The question is: There's a fast way to check if all the agents i
n
my network are started?
* my version is sql server2000 with SP4
ThanksHave a look at "Mutiserver Adminstration" in BOL.
