Hello,
I am getting Event ID 208 on Step one of a job when running to it's 30 minute schedule, however, when I run the job in SQL Manager manually, it runs fine. What to look at first? I've changed credential from sa to domain account, same errors. Was always running fine until recently.

What does the job do?

Could it be permissions? What account does SQL Server run as? What account does SQL Agent run as?
If you're doing anything to the OS, the when the job runs scheduled, the account it will use is SQL Agent's service account. When you run it manually through Management studio, it uses SQL Server's service account. If they're different, there may be a problem.
