It seems that I have Integration Services running under Network Service on my box. I think I had problems with getting SSIS to start on when I booted the machine, this was also true for the Database Engine. I believe I resolved this issue when I finally learned to spell to ServicesPipeTimeout. (That's a registry key.) But I don't use SSIS much at all, since I don't know it. -- Erland Sommarskog, SQL Server MVP, esquel@sommarskog.se Links for SQL Server Books Online: SQL 2008: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/sqlserver/cc514207.aspx SQL 2005: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/sqlserver/bb895970.aspx
