Error when changing job owner

When I change one of my job owners on a job that does a simple select, from
sa to a domain account, the job fails giving me the following error:
Could not obtain information about Windows NT group/user 'MyDomain\ADUser'
Error 8198.
I verified this login was a part of the Pre-Windows 2000 Compatible Access
Group (kb 241643). Next I tried using xp_logininfo with this login, and I
got the same error. Then I took out the select from the xp and ran it
separately (select distinct domain+N'\'+name, sid, sidtype from
OpenRowset(NetUserGetGroups, 'mydomain\aduser') and got the same error.
When I ran the above select statement with unknow domain\login, I got the
same error.
Any help would be appreciated.

>|||After trying everying under the sun, I tried putting the server name into
the Pre-Windows 2000 Access Group, and that fixed the problem. I got this
idea after noticing that the service account that the SQL Server services
ran under was the local System Account. I would imagine if I were running
the services under a domain account that it too would need to be added. I
have a case open with Microsoft on this, so I will ask them to suggest
putting this info into the KB article listed below.
