    'NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM' is sysadmiin in the server and all DBs are up and running fine too.

    Can someone please help on this.

    Thanks.

  • OS was Windows 2003 server and SQL Server 2005 earlier.

    Later only OS was upgraded toWindows 2008 server and SQL Server is still 2005.

    Has anyone faced this issue ? Any suggestions please ?

  • Reporting services DBs were missing from this server.. hence the issue.
