We have a number of maintenance plans built in Management Studio. We change the owner on the Agent jobs that run the maintenance plans to a be a "AgentService" login so all our Agent jobs run under this one global login (each server has their own). But whenever I change a maintenance plan, the owner of the Agent job changes. I need to remember to change each step back to the "AgentService" owner.

First of all, is there a way to change this so the Owner stays intact? Second, if not, does anybody know why SQL Server has this built in their system this way? It drives me crazy.

Thanks for your help!

You can use these two snippets, I got them from a bog I believe:

--SQL 2005
UPDATE msdb.dbo.sysdtspackages90
SET ownersid = 0x01
where packagetype = 6

--SQL 2008
UPDATE msdb.dbo.sysssispackages
SET [ownersid] = SUSER_SID('sa')
where packagetype = 6

Thank you! This is a huge help. I am posting the little script I wrote (for SQL2005) for anyone's additional reference.

--To view all the packages and their owners.
SELECT dts.name AS package_name
,SUSER_SNAME(dts.ownersid) AS package_owner
FROM msdb.dbo.sysdtspackages90 dts
ORDER BY package_name

--To view all the info on the maintenance plans
SELECT *
FROM msdb.dbo.sysdtspackages90
WHERE packagetype = 6

--Find out the OwnersId for the login you want to use.
SELECT loginname, sid
FROM syslogins

--To Update the owner
UPDATE msdb.dbo.sysdtspackages90 SET
ownersid = 0x0105000000000005150000000421C9C7B2AB5D056CCD5020D82A0000 --Copy/Pasted from above script
--WHERE name = 'UserBackup' --Change a specific SSIS package
WHERE packagetype = 6 --To change all maintenance plans
