Here was the error I received when running a maintenance plan
Request to run job XYZ (>) refused because the job has been suspended.
I checked in the ~/MSSQL/Logs/SQLAGENT.OUT And I get: Subsystem 'SSIS' could not be loaded (reason: Access is denied) AHA, now to troubleshoot that
I opened up procmon, and started a watch excluding Operations containing Reg, and only including path containing my MSSQL folders…Set autoscroll, and restarted SQL Agent… I found: ~ MSSQL\MSSQL10.MSSQLSERVER\MSSQL\Binn\SQLDTSSS.DLL QueryOpen SUCCESS Odd, that meant it’s not an NT permission error (to me) But I still got “Subsystem 'SSIS' could not be loaded (reason: Access is denied)” in the SQLAGENT.LOG folder humm… Reading more in the procmon output.. I find a “FILE LOCKED WITH ONLY READERS” on MSSQL\MSSQL10.MSSQLSERVER\MSSQL\Binn\SQLDTSSS.DLL Maybe this is it??? Google finds nothing (Great) and to humor myself, neither does... Read More » |

For years I have used a script that I had to manually add the ADO user to, and then run it on a database, take the results, and then execute them. I finally got fed up with this, so I wrote a script I could use to automatically just run after I added a Stored Procedure, Function or User to a database, and have it just fix everything.
