Default Database brought offline SQL Server Agent Job fails!!!

Hi All,

There is this SQL Server agent job that was calling a SSIS package (uses windows authentication) which was executing fine till the default database for the user was brought ofline, and now the job fails citing authentication failure for the user as the reason.

I have tried pointing master as the Default database for the user and now able to connect to SSMS using the users authentication, but the SQL Agent job wont succeed.

Any pointers ?

Have you tried tracing the connection attempt using SQL Profiler?

This is a SQL engine security issue - its nothing to do with SSIS.

Jamie,

You were right this has nothing to do with SSIS indded, I was using a Proxy account and I tried resetting the password, and it seems to work now. Thanks in helping me look at the right area.
