after applying SP2 to SQL Server 2008 R2 receiving execute permission denied in msdb - account has sysadmin

  • Applied SP2 to SQL 2008 R2 stand alone machine. The Domain ID is sysadmin and is the ID that both the SQL Server service and agent accounts run under. When the job executes "The Execute permission was denied on the object 'sp_update_job'.... The job seems to complete fine with the exception of failing with the output having the permission error. No errors in the SQL Log or the SQL Agent log.

  • I would check the errorlog immediately after the upgrade when the instance was in script upgrade mode and make sure there are no errors in there.

    ---------------------------------------------------------------------

  • No errors in the SQL Server Log.

  • FYI... I dropped and recreated the job. The errors have now stopped.

  • interesting, thanks for posting back solution. was it just the one job with the error, others were OK?

    ---------------------------------------------------------------------

  • The others were working fine; which is why the error made no sense...
