Thank you for taking the time to reply. I am not sure why I use my email for this. On my 2005 servers, I have that account set up so it goes to mine and another persons inbox, using sqlaccount@mycompany.com.

But first thing is first. I can't even connect to this server. It tells me that the server doesn't exist or that the account is not valid, when the account is valid and is a sys admin on the 2005 server and has dbowner priveledges to the msdb database.

I am going from a SQL 2000 SP3 machine to SQL 2005 SPS x86. The 2000 machine is sitting on a 2003 x86 VM. Both machines are members of the domain.

Any hints? Thanks again.
