Pat writes "SQL agent fails to run my DTS job:
WINNT sp4, SQL 7 sp 2 installed

The job history shows this error:

DTSRun: Loading... Error: -2147217843 (80040E4D); Provider Error: 18456 (4818) Error string: Login failed for user '\'. Error source: Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server Help file: Help context: 0. Process Exit Code 1. The step failed.

I have changed the owner of the Job to be the system admin. Other DTS packages are running satisfactorily. The DTS executes with no problems by it self.

So I tried to reset the options for the SQL agent with these results:

Reset Proxy Account >>>

Unable to install the SQL Server Agent proxy account(SQLAgentCmdExec). Job steps of type CmdExec or ActiveScripting of jobs owned ny non-sysadmins will not run correctly.

Reset Proxy Password >>>

The user name could not be found.


Restarting SQL Agent: >>>>

proxy account (reason: Access is denied)

DTSRun: Loading... Error: -2147024809 (80070057); Provider Error:"
