Namespace: Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo.Agent
Assembly: Microsoft.SqlServer.Smo (in microsoft.sqlserver.smo.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration
Public Sub ReassignJobsByLogin ( _
    oldLogin As String, _
    newLogin As String _
)

public void ReassignJobsByLogin (
    string oldLogin,
    string newLogin
)

public:
void ReassignJobsByLogin (
    String^ oldLogin, 
    String^ newLogin
)

public void ReassignJobsByLogin (
    String oldLogin, 
    String newLogin
)

public function ReassignJobsByLogin (
    oldLogin : String, 
    newLogin : String
)

Parameters

• oldLogin
  A String value that specifies the old SQL Server logon.

• newLogin
  A String value that specifies the new SQL Server logon.

Remarks

By default, any SQL Server logon has membership, through the user guest, in the public role of the system database maintaining SQL Server Agent jobs (msdb). When a SQL Server user is created in msdb, jobs created by the user mapping the logon are owned by the logon, not the user.

Reassigning SQL Server Agent job ownership by using the ReassignJobsByLogin method requires appropriate permission. The SQL Server logon used for the current connection must be a member of the fixed role SysAdmin.

This namespace, class, or member is supported only in version 2.0 of the Microsoft .NET Framework.
