Daniel writes "I run a query in sql query analyzer "(select * from openquery(External,'Select name from contact')". The connection is made using windows authentication as user 'XX', and it returns the expected results.

If I place the same query in a job and run it, I receive an authentication error for user 'XX' shown in the detailed job history.

P.S. I have changed the logon of the SQL agent from the Local system account to 'XX'.

Any ideas please? (MSDE 2000 and Windows XP)."
