I have a Sql Server who's hardware was just upgraded, and I noticed
that all my sql server jobs which were scheduled DTS jobs are failing
(those w/ ActiveX scripts).
Windows 2000 Server SP4
Sql Server 2000 SP3a
Sql Server Agent Login: local admin account
Error:
Executed as User (xxxx). The process could not be created for step 1
of job 0x..... (reason: the system cannot find the file specified).
The step failed
Troubleshooting: I re-created the DTS job and the Sql Job, I can run
the DTS job manuall w/ success but cannot seem to have it run when
scheduled. what step did I miss?
btw, The Sql Server Agent Account is a local windows 2000 account w/ local administrator rights.

who's the owner of the msdb database? It's a tale-tale sign that it's owned by the domain user account you're using for the mssql service. If it is then change it to 'sa'

that is owned by sa (dbo) but it turned out to be just as simple...

during the hardware change the Path Variable was never updated to reflect the path to Sql Server. I added the Path (..\80\tools\binn).
