Error when trying to execute a job from windows service.

Hi,
I'm trying to execute a DTS package from a .NET service. The service is
running under a domain account that owns the job which it executes using
'sp_start_job'. The call to the sp succeeds however checking the Job history
gives: -
"The job failed. Unable to determine if the owner (DOMAIN\ServiceUser) of
job <JobName> has server access (reason: Could not obtain information about
Windows NT group/user 'DOMAIN\ServiceUser'. [SQLSTATE 42000] (Error 8198
))."
SQL Server 2000 SP4
Both SQLServer + SQLAgent run under a domain account (different to the
service)
ServiceUser has login to sql server not an admin, however I've tried using
the SQL Agent Proxy account still no success.
Any ideas?

The SQL 2000 Books Online <instsql.chm::/in_overview_6k1f.htm> states that
the SQL Agent service account must be a member of the local Administrators
group in order to "Create CmdExec and ActiveScript jobs belonging to someone
other than a SQL Server administrator".
Hope this helps.

Thanks that's sorted it. Also got it working using the proxy account
again this needed local admin rights.
Cheers Paul

granting admin rights the proxy account since that allows non-sysadmins to
run processes with admin rights. Now that you got the service accounts
sorted out, I would expect your DTS package to run fine as long as the proxy
account has permissions on data and files accessed by the package.
Hope this helps.
