The sa login and password are likely referenced in the
DTSRun command for the job. One common scenario for this is
when you have Enterprise Manager registered using the sa
login and you right click on the package, select Schedule
Package, this will create an encrypted DTSRun command in the
job's schedule which uses sa as that's what you would
currently be logged in as through Enterprise Manager.
I can't think of a fast way to redo hundreds of these.
Seems a better idea to have the packages run using trusted
connections via the service account instead.
