I need a list of permissions for SQLSERVERAGENT

  • Hello,

    I am using SQL 2000 and we are migrating to a new network with several network segments. Between each segment is a firewall.

    I have SQLSERVERAGENT using a domain account to logon with.

    There are several DTS packages that are now failing since the migration. I know the likely culprit is permissions for the domain account that the serveragent is using.

    In order to set the correct permissions I am looking for a list of permissions that the serveragent needs.

    It needs to access network resources within the network in its domain as well as resources in a different domain.

    I have read on the net that a list exists someplace but I cannot locate it.

    If you are wondering why I just don't replicate the permissions from the original server I can but the new network personel will not make changes until I can provide documentation.

    If anyone can help I would greatly appreciate it.

    Thanks

    Gary

  • If you use Enterprise Manager to assign the account, it will assign the correct local permissions.

    The network permissions will be in Active Directory for the old account.

  • Thank you for the reply.

    I checked with the new network people and Active Directory is not installed and according to them Active Directory will not be installed.

    I ran a test where I created a DTS package in which I copied a file FROM the network resource and then also copied a file TO the network resource.

    I also scheduled the DTS package to run as a job and set the time.

    Everything worked so I beleive the sqlagent has the permissions it needs.

    Am I wrong in my thinking?

    Thanks

    Gary
