Unhandled Exception: System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException (0x800A03EC)

Question

I have a C# application that exports an Excel file. When I run it from Visual Studio, it is working fine. However, when I schedule it to run from SQL Server Agent, it failed

Answer 1

I tried this and it worked. I found "Microsoft Excel Application" is missing in DCOM Config. So, I did the following steps:

1. Start
2. Run
3. mmc -32
4. File
5. Add Remove Snap-in
6. Component Services
7. Add
8. OK
9. Console Root
10. Component Services
11. Computers
12. My Computer
13. DCOM Config
14. Microsoft Excel Application -> Right click -> Properties
15. On Security tab, give full permissions to the domain user and NT SERVICE\SQLSERVERAGENT on: a. Launch and Active Permissions b. Access Permissions c. Configuration Permissions
16. On Identiy tab -> change to Interactive User

That's it. I ran the SQL job and it succeeded.
