Hi,

You cannot directly change the user. You can login with the correct user. Delete the old batch job and recreate it. Then it will run as this user.

Note that it is possible directly in SQL, but that is not recommended.

Hi

From Technet:

Batch jobs are run by using the security credentials of the user who created the job.

Also please refer the below to check in detail:-

I know this is an old thread, but if a batch job is created by a user who is no longer with the company, is it common to do this kind of maintenance every so often of re-creating batch jobs, or is it common to create an account for batch jobs specifically?

In that case you are doing it wrong, repeating batches must not be under a regular AD account, but as a service account. Create an Active Directory service account, with a password which does not expire. Provide the necessary AX user credentials, allow log on as a service, then set up all your recurring batch jobs under that credential.
