The scheduled maintenance completes while the job identity cannot perform an unrelated privileged server administration action. That result is evidence for another corrective change: Choose a least-privilege job owner or supported proxy/credential configuration and scope each job step's required permissions. The alternative problem is: A nightly Agent job uses a high-privilege SQL login for routine index maintenance even though a narrower execution context is possible. The current Eastshore Energy issue is instead: A SQL Server on Azure VM Agent job executes a shell script but fails after migration because the service account cannot access a protected network share. Its decisive acceptance evidence would be: The Agent step completes the intended file task and an unrelated share remains inaccessible to that execution identity.

The incident identifies the missing execution trigger and the next approved run generates an expected logged completion. That result is evidence for another corrective change: Inspect the SQL Server Agent service, enabled status, schedules, step outputs and job history to isolate the actual failure. The alternative problem is: An operations team suspects an Agent job never started but examines application tables instead of checking service and job execution history. The current Eastshore Energy issue is instead: A SQL Server on Azure VM Agent job executes a shell script but fails after migration because the service account cannot access a protected network share. Its decisive acceptance evidence would be: The Agent step completes the intended file task and an unrelated share remains inaccessible to that execution identity.

The test Azure SQL Database receives the expected maintenance result without attempting to start an unsupported embedded Agent service. That result is evidence for another corrective change: Identify SQL Server Agent dependencies and redesign suitable recurring tasks using supported elastic jobs or Azure automation services. The alternative problem is: A migration from SQL Server to Azure SQL Database assumes every SQL Server Agent job will continue to run inside the single database service. The current Eastshore Energy issue is instead: A SQL Server on Azure VM Agent job executes a shell script but fails after migration because the service account cannot access a protected network share. Its decisive acceptance evidence would be: The Agent step completes the intended file task and an unrelated share remains inaccessible to that execution identity.

Review the job step success and failure actions and fail the overall job when a required step does not complete successfully. That relates to a separate SQL administration problem: An Agent job reports success because its final step runs despite an earlier failed data validation step in the workflow. The Meadowbrook Finance requirement is instead: A SQL Server on Azure VM Agent job executes a shell script but fails after migration because the service account cannot access a protected network share. That approach does not directly establish the required fix; the requested acceptance evidence is: The Agent step completes the intended file task and an unrelated share remains inaccessible to that execution identity.

Consolidate schedule definitions and implement idempotent task behavior or mutual exclusion for the recurring import. That relates to a separate SQL administration problem: An Agent job has multiple overlapping schedules and duplicate nightly imports, causing a unique key violation every morning.

The Agent execution history shows the task runs within the approved maintenance window without overlapping peak workload periods. That result is evidence for another corrective change: Configure the SQL Server Agent schedule and maintenance window explicitly for the target environment and verify service-local time behavior. The alternative problem is: A SQL Managed Instance maintenance job has been created but runs during peak sales traffic because its SQL Server Agent schedule was copied from a different time zone. The current Meadowbrook Finance issue is instead: A SQL Server on Azure VM Agent job executes a shell script but fails after migration because the service account cannot access a protected network share. Its decisive acceptance evidence would be: The Agent step completes the intended file task and an unrelated share remains inaccessible to that execution identity.

An audit compares the deployed schedule to its reviewed script and an approved rollback restores the prior execution window. That result is evidence for another corrective change: Manage Agent job and schedule changes through controlled scripts and versioned configuration with documented approval. The alternative problem is: A team changes SQL Server Agent schedules through ad hoc T-SQL commands but never records who approved the change or its rollback. The current Meadowbrook Finance issue is instead: A SQL Server on Azure VM Agent job executes a shell script but fails after migration because the service account cannot access a protected network share. Its decisive acceptance evidence would be: The Agent step completes the intended file task and an unrelated share remains inaccessible to that execution identity.

The overnight run produces one verified import result and no duplicate execution or repeated rows appear in the job history. That result is evidence for another corrective change: Consolidate schedule definitions and implement idempotent task behavior or mutual exclusion for the recurring import. The alternative problem is: An Agent job has multiple overlapping schedules and duplicate nightly imports, causing a unique key violation every morning.

Split maintenance operations into bounded jobs or adjust the supported schedule and timeout policy based on measured duration. That relates to a separate SQL administration problem: A long-running Agent integrity check is terminated by a standard timeout and reruns from the beginning, consuming the whole maintenance period.
