I have ssis package that is running in sql server agent job. There is a proxy account and it is running through users account but that user has been no longer working with us. The challenge here is his account password is about to expire. so what can be done so that package will be smoothly running after his account password will expire ?
Thank you.
If you don't have access to the user login you have to map Proxy account to another credential in order to avoid job fails, check this. Or you can use local SQL Agent Service account in case all files/folders/sever used by job are accessible for that account.

How do I specify my SSIS package to use a domain service account when deployed and called from an Agent Job?
The Connection Manager is set to use [Windows Authentication], so I think it is using my windows credentials during development. However I want the package to use a domain service account with a non-expiring password when running as a Job on SQL Server.
How can I do this? Thanks for any guidance.
You or your DBA should do the following on the SQL Server:
Create a SQL Credential for a desired Domain Account.
Create a SQL Agent Proxy of type SSIS Package Execution and bind it to the Credential created.
On the SQL Job step - specify created Proxy in Run As: dropdown
These steps allows to run specified SSIS Package under account of the SQL Credential.
Here is a good sample on how to set it up.
I have created an SSIS package and saved a copy as:
Package Location : SQLServer
Server: Local
Authentication Type: SQL Server Authentication
Username: Created a local SQL account here
Protection level: Rely on server storage and roles for access control
This package is automatically ran under the SQL agent under a proxy account. If I stay logged into the windows server as this proxy account, the job runs fine. If I log out, the job never finishes and is stuck in the "running" state. Any ideas?
My SQL Server Windows service is set to use the NETWORK SERVICE account.
The server is installed to C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL10_50.MSSQLSERVER\MSSQL.
However looking at the permissions on that folder, NETWORK SERVICE does not have any permissions. The groups which are allowed access to that folder are...
CREATOR OWNER - who is this?
SYSTEM - sounds fine - so that Windows can access the folder I presume?
SQLServerMSSQLUser$Computer_Name$MSSQLSERVER - this is the interesting one - what is this?
Administrators
Users
If NETWORK SERVICE is a user with minimal permissions on the system and looks to the O/S as someone connecting from a network how does it have permissions to access any files in the SQL Server install folder?
Thanks.
See Setting Up Windows Service Accounts in the SQL Server documentation:
SQL Server uses a security group to set resource ACLs rather than using the service account directly, so changing the service account can be done without having to repeat the resource ACL process. The security group can be a local security group, a domain security group or a service SID.
During SQL Server installation, SQL Server Setup creates a service group for each SQL Server component. These groups simplify granting the permissions that are required to run SQL Server services and other executables, and help secure SQL Server files.
Depending on the service configuration, the service account for a service or service SID is added as a member of the service group during install or upgrade.
That's what SQLServerMSSQLUser$Computer_Name$MSSQLSERVER is.
About NetworkService Account:
The NetworkService account is a predefined local account used by the service control manager.
...
A service that runs in the context of the NetworkService account presents the computer's credentials to remote servers.
NOT, as you put it:
looks to the O/S as someone connecting from a network
I have an SSIS package deployed to Sql Server 2008. This package runs fine in BIDS as well as from the server within the stored packages directory. As soon as i tie this package to a sql job i start to see permission issues accessing a specific file from within the SSIS package. So through my research i see that using a proxy account may be the solution to my problems. These are the steps i have taken so far:
Setup an Active Directory User Account
Under Security - Credentials - Created a Credential Tied to the account in step 1.
Under Sql Server Agent - Proxies - SSIS Package Execution - Created a proxy tied to the credential above and selected the "SQL Server Integration Services Package" check box.
Created a login with roles "SQLAgentOperatorRole", "SQLAgentReaderRole", "SQLAgentUserRole" and "Public" on the msdb database.
Create job to run my SSIS package. Job owner is tied to the login created in step 4. Under the step properties of my job i set the type to "Sql Server Integration Services Package" and the Run as option to my proxy account created in step 3 and pointed it to my SSIS package.
Gave Full control to the account from step 1 access to the folder/file that the SSIS package is pointing to.
When i kick the job off i continually get and error:
Executed as user: "Account from step 1" - Could not load package. Login Failed for user: "Account from step 1". The package could not be loaded.
What step could i be missing to accomplish this task?
Thank you for you time,
Billy
Figured this one out. Resolved by setting up the same AD account as a login on sql sever with the same login roles as those above in step 4.
Hope this helps someone.
Have you looked at the windows services to see the account that runs the SQL Server Agent? If that login (the one that runs the service) has sufficient rights to run a query on the database then you could just change the service login to yours (for testing purpose). Once thats done, restart the service and give it a try.
Let us know what you find.
I'm installing Windows Server AppFabric in a Windows 2008 R2 SP1 that is part of my domain. On the Configure Hosting Service, I would like to configure each AppFabric service on a separate Domain account. I've created the 3 necessary databases on a separate database server that is also part of my domain, and 3 domain users, and I've given each domain user db_owner privilege on it's respective database.
When I'm installing Windows Server AppFabric, and I try to set the monitoring configuration, and on the AppFabric Event Collection service account, I'm trying to use the domain user, but it keeps giving me Logon Failure: Unknown username or bad password, but the user and password are valid! On the same server, if I do a runas with the same domain user and password, I open any application I want.
Is there a restriction on using domain accounts for this? I've placed all 3 accounts as local admin and on AS_Administrators, to see if it helped, but it's no good.
After a LOT of troubleshooting, I found out how to configure it. Before the Windows Server AppFabric Configuration Wizard is opened, go to the Services, and configure the 3 services (AppFabricCachingService, AppFabricEventCollectionService and AppFabricWorkflowManagementService) with the domain users you want. Then, you open the Wizard, and the correct domain users will already be configured, and all you need to do is configure the database.
