    Yeah. I'd be really worried about the security implications of this.

    I thought it was a great article highlighting the problems that can arise from personally owned jobs.

    Pity it didn't highlight the problems that can arise from SA owned jobs as well. I really don't fancy having everything running with sysadmin privileges, whether it needs them or not.

    In fact I'm fairly tempted to say that no jobs at all should be owned by SA because (although you may want interdomain connections without having interdomain trust at NT level so that you have to have SQL logins as well as NT logins) there's no good reason why SA should ever be be able to login (it's easy to have a job that creates a random SA password and doesn't put it where any human can get it).
