Ok I have my preffered credentials all set up and I dont get the failed to authenticate anymore, it vaildates then awaits agent conformation. no prob so far. then in the collum where it says "awating agent conformation " it changes to the date and time ( i submitted the job to run immediately) , status says scheduled, looks great, but it never runs. The job I am trying now is an export, i have tried running simple sql statements with the same outcome. When I eventually cancel the job it says "The agent does not have this job in its queue. The job will be removed" then it deletes it.
Any clues????
