Hi

We have an AD account called X.
The SQL Service and the SQL Server AGent both run on this account.
However we still have some of the older accounts from (NT Domain Days)a domain called y\xuser physically on the server not attached to any databases.
In our production servers one of our jobs dies when we disable this account y\xuser.
Cannot seem to locate the exact reason for that.
Anybody come across this issue? or how we can overcome that?
My idea was to drop the job and recreate it with SA login.

is the job running using that account?
if yes, change the owner to sa

what does the job do? are there objects or permissions set for account y/xuser on that job that fails because of permission denies?
