Agent job security account

  • Hi All,

    I have few sql server agent scheduled jobs which are supposed to run as NT Service\mssqlserveragent account however at times it runs using different account. Being novice in this world , I am not able to figure out where to make the change in agent job security to ensure that it only and always runs under nt service account or any other account as specified.

    Where do i set this up?

    Thanks in advance.

  • Don't !

    There must be a reason someone configured it that way.

  • Thank you for the response Johan. This job was always running under nt service account but now it is somehow not sending emails. Job runs successfully in the db but the mail part fails.

  • Check the database mail log and verify the email is being sent to the queue, the queue is active and that there are no errors.

    select * from msdb.dbo.sysmail_allitems

    If it has suddenly stopped working, hopefully something in the DBMail log can point you in the right direction.
