Anything interesting in the Windows event log, or the SQL logs for the time that this happened? Or didn't happen as the cas may be...

Hi,
We have had a similar issue to this in SQL Server 2008,
has anyone found out why this would occur?
Regards

I am experiencing the same issue with SQL Server 2008 R2. The job will execute and you can see it in the history, but the run time is typically less than 10 seconds and the code itself did not execute. Actually, some of the code is executing, but not all of it. Strange as hell. And it is infrequent. Some days it works, some days it doesn't. Here is one of the jobs that is showing this behavior:
DECLARE @Threads INT = 5

END
What we are doing here is finding all of the indexes with a fragmentation > 30% and putting them into 5 different tables. Then we kick off five other jobs to perform the index maintenance.
On some days, this jobs executes perfectly. It normally takes about an hour to run (there are some large databases on this server). On other days, it takes less than 10 seconds to execute, the code that updates the index list isn't executed. But what is really strange is the last couple of lines of code are ALWAYS executed and the five "IndexReorg" jobs are kicked off.
I have the same issue with a db check job. Some days it executes, some days it doesn't. SQL Agent always reports that the job executed successfully, but you could tell by the runtime that nothing was done.

I've seen a few posts on various forums where folks have reporting such issues, but nobody has any solution.
Anyone else see anything like this?

It might be more effective to start a new thread in the 2008 forum instead of dig up an old 2005 thread.

Back to the original question by OP. We used to experience similar issue a while ago when the jobs were simply skipped. No failures. That happened when the service account was locked out in AD. So you are really will need to check any logins failures around the time when jobs didnt run and check the AD as well.
