SSIS package error on remote database

  • hello everyone,

    so i have created a SSIS package that i want it to run on another server, so example below:

    Server A is running the SSIS package, and the destination is Server B, that i want it to run under a certain account, like either the network service or system service, which has the appropriate permissions needed on certain databases, i tried to create a proxy server using Network Service account, however i get the following error message:

    Unable to start execution of step 1 (reason: Error authenticating proxy NT AUTHORITY\NETWORK SERVICE, system error: The user name or password is incorrect.). The step failed.

    I have the SSIS package set to "Windows Authentication" for the connection manager, but still coming up with that same error message, is there a trick to it or maybe something i am doing wrong?

    thanks in advance

  • Are server A and server B in the same domain?


  • Hey Phil 🙂

    Yes they are in the same Domain

  • Rather than continuing down the path you're on, I suggest getting SSIS running as a domain service account user. Then you can assign the required privs to the service account and all of your security problems should evaporate.


  • ahh cool let me try that out, big thank you sir 😉
