Does your coworker have dtexec installed?  If not, he can't run something doesn't exist on his system.

I would start out by looking at the error messages.  If it works for...

Personally, I don't like that security model as I like working with a "least privilege" model.  I generally apply permissions as part of my object creation scripts.

I would probably reach out to the server admins (and check the logs) to determine why starting the service as a user other than the...

Looking at those waits, the ones in hours are the ones I would be more concerned about!  If I am reading things right on that, the AVERAGE column is showing...

For that particular query (experts correct me if I am wrong), but I see 4 indexes being needed - 1 per table.  The query looks broken to me on that...

Any column in the SELECT result list that is NOT used in an aggregate (or windowing function) MUST be included in your GROUP BY UNLESS no aggregate operations are taking...
