Windows Authentication question

  • Hi Guys,

    Just wondering... I've changed packages to run using windows authentication and i've changed the dtsrun script in the jobs to use windows authentication also. So when a job is scheduled to run, what windows authentication does it use or what account? i.e. how does it run if no one is logged into the server at the time?

    Thanks

    G

  • If the package is scheduled to run through SQL Agent, then this will be executed under the security context of the service account used for SQL Agent.

  • Oh yeah.. thanks. Should have known that!
