I'm trying to run a job that kicks off a batch file.

I need to use a proxy to do this (for security reasons).

However the job keeps on failing with the following error:

Error authenticating proxy MyServer\myuser, system error: ConnGetProxyPassword

The account being used is a local account as opposed to a domain account.

The password for the credential is correct, and I have granted the proxy CmdExec permissions. The account has local admin rights on the server and sysadmin rights in SQL Server.

Even if I run a simple command like ipconfig, it doesn't work.

Does anyone have any idea what the issue could be?

Any advice? I can't find much on the net about this.

Try RDP'ing to the server and logging in with those credentials. There perhaps is a prompt appearing at login time.

I fixed the issue. I had to add the SQL Server Agent service account in the 'Replace a process level token' in Local policies.
