We have a daily SQL Server Agent Job that's failing intermittently. Between May 27th and Jun 16th, it has failed twice.

The error message we receive (listed below) references "The file could not be decrypted." The step, however, is an Analysis Services step that builds a cube; the message seems to have no relevance in this context.

We've been unable to locate any references online for this message that speak to anything other than Biz Talk or connecting to Excel spreadsheets, neither of which are in play here.

Message (Edit to Bold the relevant error message):
