Linked Server failing on SQL Server job

Question

I have a linked server that perfectly works when executing a query. But when I place the query in a job, it fails.

Here is the setting of my linked server

Answer 1

I had this same issue, And after changing user permissions etc etc etc, I found this article and instead of using "Be made using the login's current security context" i used "Be made using this security context" and i specified the account and password which solved the issue. So the issue isnt with SQL jobs or my procedure it was in actual fact my linked server. Even though the link server did work... When calling a linked server within a SQL job the linked server had to have the account details specifically specified.
