account change causes DTS package jobs fail

DTS packages and jobs are created as domain administrator accounts
"\\ourdomain\administrator". For some reasons (separate database
account from network account), we switched to new domain administrator
account called "\\ourdomain\sqladm" as SQL Server, service startup
account. Some DTS jobs stop running. In DTSs, server connection uses
NT default acccount. Does anyone know what is going on here? Do I have
to change the DTS owmers to "\\ourdomain\sqladm"? or I have to change
all server connection in DTS packages as SQL account connection?
Thanks in advance.You should not need to change the ownereship of the DTS package. What is
the startup account for SQL Server Agent. It controls the execution of
jobs. Log in as the SQL Server Agent startup account on the server itself
and run the DTS packages that fail form Enterprise Manager. If they fail
there too, it could be a permissions problem with the account.
