SQL Agent jobs not run by the domain account

  • Hi,

    I am building a new server :

    Win2003(Standard)--> SQL2000EE -->SP3a -->Hotfix589--> SQLReporting Services (SQL RS)--> SQL RS SP1

    All SQL Server services starts by the domain account.

    After I created maintenance jobs, all jobs failed with the message:

    "The job failed. Unable to determine if the owner (DOMAIN\SQLPROD) of job Transaction Log Backup Job for DB Maintenance Plan 'UserDB' has server access (reason: Could not obtain information about Windows NT group/user 'DOMAIN\SQLPROD'. [SQLSTATE 42000] (Error 8198)).

    In the same time jobs run fine as 'sa'. Output message:

    "Executed as user: 'DOMAIN\SQLPROD'....

    ...The step succeeded."

    The 'DOMAIN\SQLPROD' account is a member of local admin group, and in SQL Server it has Sysadmin role.

    The hotfix 859 did not fix the problem. (http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;821334)

    Did enybody have the same issue? Any ideas?

    TIA

    Leonid

    Also, check SQL Server and Agent startup account in Services (Admin. Tools). In Windows 2003 this account can couse errors - 'DOMAIN\SQLPROD'. We have, for example, even service startup errors when used old way of credentials. Try to use 'DOMAIN@SQLPROD' .
