Some of the jobs, specially the backup and trans backup jobs fail occasionaly. It doesnt happen all the time but once in few days. This is the message I get.

The job failed. Unable to determine if the owner (DOMAINNAME\username) of job "JOB NAME" has server access (reason: Could not obtain information about Windows NT group/user 'DOMAINNAME\username'. [SQLSTATE 42000] (Error 8198)).

I fail to understand why the job succeeds most of the time but once in a while I get this message and it fails.

Thanks

Does the Domain account expire? Did you set up a service account? Are you connected to the Network? Who is the Owner of the job? SA or some other id? Is the job executed remotley or as a scheduled task?

Just some ideas. Never had this problem.

Good Luck

We have that same problem. I believe that the problem is that the server can not communicate with the Domain controller at times, so it can't determine if the account is valid. To get around this, we changed the job owner's to sql accounts instead.

the owner is the same for all SA. these are scheduled backup jobs. the first backup jobs run ok but on the next scheduled date, some of the backups fail and others are ok.

Did you check sql server log? It tells why backup failed.

You could also try adding the service account into the Local Administrator group. I can't say that I have ever seen an error like that in our setup for the last 2 years.
