failed job with my user name as the owner.

Hi,
I am working on sql 2000 and one of the DBAs in my team.
All the jobs with me as the owner failed miserablly today
on one of my servers. They have been run fine forever
before.
Message: The job failed. Unable to determine if the owner
(domainname\jwang) of jobname has server access (reason:
Could not obtain information about Windows NT group/user
domainname\jwang'. [SQLSTATE 42000] (Error 8198)).
And when I try to connect to the server through EM on my
laptop, it returns this error message: 'a connection could
not be established to the servername. Reason: 'Cannot
generate SSPI context'.
This actually happened to several people who tried the
same thing.
Why all of a sudden this? We have be applying window
updates and sql patches to some of our servers, but not to
all of them yet. This server is one of the highest patch
level server. Could this cause a problem?
Urgent help please. Many thanks.
JJTry logging on to that server as jwang on that domain, see what happens.
Maybe there is a connectivity issue, you'll get better error messages
possibly from dong that.

Anything going on with your PDC/Active Directory Servers?|||Thank you, Andy, I know that it will work with sql login, there is
something funky going on with the domain authentication on this server.
