Data Collector Proxy account

  • Hi all

    In trying to get a remote server to upload information to my Data Warehouse in data collector I am getting errors that the service account doesn't have the permissions.

    One way round this is to create a proxy account. I have created a credential and a proxy account and added the dc_proxy role to the proxy, however the upload jobs still fail. The jobs themselves are already using the SQL Service agent account.

    Does anyone have any ideas?

    Thanks

  • did you specify the proxy account for the job step ?

  • Yeah I tried to do that but the jobs use TSQL and a CMDEXEC steps. I guess I won't be able to change the TSQL one, but the CMDEXEC step doesn't give me the option to use the proxy. Its just not available!!

    I have got round this though by adding the target service account to the MDW_Writer role on the instance where the MDW database is present.
