I have a job on an SQL 2008 server (Server A) (I know this is not ideal... That issue is being addressed). The agent runs under NT AUTHORITY\NETWORK SERVICE.
I want to add a step that runs a job that sits on another SQL 2014 server (Server B).
I would use:
EXEC [Server B].msdb..sp_start_job N'JobName'
Ran from Server A manually it executes the job on Server B fine as expected.
If I add the task to a job on Server A it fails with message:
Executed as user: NT AUTHORITY\NETWORK SERVICE. The EXECUTE permission was denied on the object 'sp_start_job', database 'msdb', schema 'dbo'. [SQLSTATE 42000] (Error 229). The step failed.
I have assigned NT AUTHORITY\NETWORK SERVICE on Server B to the 'TargetServerRole' in msdb and then granted Execute permission to concern user to SP_Start_Job and SP_Stop_Job.
Server A has Server B as a linked server and I tried setting "Local server login to remote server login mappings" Local login NT AUTHORITY\NETWORK SERVICE to impersonate.
The job still fails with the same error.
What do I need to do?
Thanks
