SQL jobs failed

  • Hi All

    I have SQL jobs (Maintenance plan ) running on recycling error log and keep 1 year of logs

    It was running well in the beginning but after I rename and disable SA account , the jobs start failing .

    What should I do to fix this ?

    On the other hand I have to rename and disable SA account for security purpose ( prevent brute force attack )

    Your feedback is much appreciated

  • Whats the full error message you get.

    Renaming disabling the actual SA account is fine jobs can still be owned by that account, that is what I do on my servers and everything works fine.

    Same here.

    RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
    First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
    ________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

    Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.
