Error: Non-SysAdmins have been denied permission to run..... But the Owner and the person trying to start the job ARE sysadmin

  • Ok, wierd case, I am getting the error when trying to start a maint plan job:

    Non-SysAdmins have been denied permission to run DTS Execution job steps without a proxy account

    However, the owner of the job is the sa account (renamed to another name), AND the person trying to start the job is a sysadmin by way of a group for all DBAs. Also the person who created the plan is a sysadmin.

    I checked:

    SELECT IS_SRVROLEMEMBER( 'sysadmin', 'new_sa_name' )

    And it returned 1 indicating it was a sysadmin.

    SELECT IS_SRVROLEMEMBER( 'sysadmin', 'domain\groupname' )

    And it returned 1 indicating it was a sysadmin.

    SQL Agent and SQL Server use same login account.

    the renamed sa account is not disabled and I can login as that user with no problem.

    The only thing I can point at is the sa being renamed.

    Am I totally missing something?

    Oh, one more wrinkle it is SQL 2008R2.

  • Think I will try re-renaming sa..

  • I know you probably tried this but to confirm. Have you tried to create the proxy account to appease the system?

  • No, and I didn't want to, because this should work. I may try that after I un-rename the sa account.
