Error with Excel file in SSIS Execution for SQL Job

I cannot get an excel file on a mapped network drive to be used as a connection manager for a SSIS job I have on our SQL Server. I have debugged the SSIS Package fully in VS and everything works as intended. Now, I get an error message when attempting to run the job on our SQL 2005 Server: Executed as user: {domain admin acct} ...ersion 9.00.5000.00 for 32-bit Copyright (C) Microsoft Corp 1984-2005.

I have made a SSIS Proxy with the credential account linked to the Domain Admin account and still I get the error above. What am I doing wrong????

Just to clarify, is the P: drive available from the SQL Server? Can you change that to use the UNC path instead?

Yes, it is available from the OS and mapped properly. Do I have to make a special link within the server configuration? Also, I have tried to use a UNC path, but that bombs debugging.

I am new to SSIS and have been playing with it to see what I can get it to do. I use a for each loop container that scans a directory for a very specific filename format and then when that condition is met, it will run a script to import the contents of that specific Excel file. However, I cannot get it to debug successfully when I am using UNC paths.

The problem is that your mapped drive is not available within SQL Server. It is mapped only for you when you are logged on. You will need to use the UNC path in order to be able to access the relevant network location. **Side note: do not run credentials under Domain Admin accounts! In doing this you put your entire Windows infrastructure at risk.**

> Executed as user: {domain admin acct} if you are using a proxy, you should have a credential (domain user) with the minimum rights required on the destination folder. 1. check that the SQL user is correctly linked to the credential 2. check that the SQL user has access rights to the proxy in SQL Server Agent 3. ...and not to loose time (happened to me :)) that the "Run as" list box is configured to use the right user (SSIS proxy - user) in the job step configuration. 4. if the probleme persists you may have an issue with the windows user (credential) permissions on the folder. This is usually what we check when we get this kind of errors. I would also recommend to use an UNC path.
