Dave:

1) Make sure that you're running the latest version of MDAC on your server
and your clients v 2.8
2) Make sure that IP Restrictions on msdacs.dll in the MDAC directory is set
to granted
3) At face value, the error indicates that the identity which the Views
Notification Service is running under is failing. In the task manager or
services object snap-in, take a look at the identity that the Views
Notification Service is running under and verify it's status and password if
it's not the system account.

Let us know what you find.
