[298] SQLServer Error: 15404, Could not obtain information about Windows NT group/user 'DOMAIN\MYNAME', error code 0x5. [SQLSTATE 42000] (ConnIsLoginSysAdmin)

is your authentication set only to SQL SERVER?
You may be the sysadmin, but is that your NT LOGIN or a standard login?

My ID is set as sysadmin on SQL server, but not the NT domain.

Are you logging in with a domain account or mapperkids with SA privileges?
There is no role as System Administrator in NT Domain, you are possibly saying you are not a domain admin...
And your SQL Server has what sort of authentiction?

The SQL server is using windows authentication mode only and my ID is not a system admin on NT domain, but in SQL server, my user id is under the Security->server roles-> as sysadmin, setupadmin, serveradmin, processadmin,

So I think that can let me do anything inside the SQL server or not?

Thanks!

Hi,

Today I tried to ask the NT admin to login the SQL server and setup a scheduled job to check the shrink the db for testing purpose.

Then the job start and got the same error.

[298] SQLServer Error: 15404, Could not obtain information about Windows NT group/user 'DOMAIN\MYNAME', error code 0x5. [SQLSTATE 42000] (ConnIsLoginSysAdmin)


I have no idea why that happen to NT admin. then I check the Services for SQL Agent under the control panel- admin tools- services.

It shows using the LOCALSYSTEM as login for the SQL Agent service.


Any one have any idea. what security requirement to run a job other than use 'sa' account, since we are using on Windows authenciation mode only.


I must be something is missing? hope some experts here to answer my question.


Thanks!
