SQL server jobs are starting even when they are disabled.

    I have restored the msdb backup from production into the test environment. After restoring msdb I disabled all the jobs by executing:

    UPDATE msdb.dbo.sysjobs

    SET originating_server=@@servername, enabled=0

    Still the jobs started on schedule.

    Then I disabled all the job schedule by using the below query:

    UPDATE msdb.dbo.sysjobschedules

    SET enabled=0

    Still the jobs started on schedule.

    There are no DTS packages that can kick start the jobs.

    Please help me resolve this issue.

    Thanks in advance.

    I think your agent cache is not in synch with msdb database. Can you please restart the sql server agent.

    If you don't want any of the jobs to run, just stop the agent.

    RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
    First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
    ________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

    Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.
