Cannot create job that uses a sql server agent proxy

  • Hi All,

    Am trying to create a job in management studio 2005, that uses an sql

    server agent proxy, but when I try to open the Active X proxy (a vbs script)

    on my my c:\drive, it gives me error message: Access to the path 'C:\Program

    files\Microsoft Learning\2780\Mod7\Practices\CreateOrder.vbs' is denied.

    (mscorlib). I tried to shared the drive in the folder security, but no joy.

  • It's a security issue. Is this a job that's running on your workstation? Or is a remote server? Don't forget that pathing on the server is absolute to the server, not the client tool.

    c: in a job is c: on a server, not your workstation. Management Studio gives you an interface into the server, nothing is running related to jobs in the client.

  • Am logged into sql server via my domain account, I have a domain, the C:\drive is for my workstation as you suggested, am creating the jobs using a window user account on my domain, but it seems the job is not able to access the drive to open the vbs script, how can I get around it, is there anyway I could save the script in sql server?

  • Hi All,

    Silly me, the script was supposed to save to a path pointing to D:\ and when I

    check inside the script I discovered this, so the job was able to execute as

    instructed, changed it to C:\ drive and it worked, thanks so much.
