Account Permission For Installing/running Sqlserver And Service That Accesses It
Nov 15, 2007
Hello,
I am totally confused by what account I should be running my sql server database and my business layer service as.
I take it that when installing sqlserver and my service that I should be logged in as administrator.
Should I be using "Local Service", "Local System" or "Network Service" to run these processes as?
Summary of my business layer service
* Clients connect to this service on a tcp/ip port
* It accesses the file system
* it connects to the database
Thanks,
JP

Microsoft recommends that you do not use the Network Service account to run the SQL Server service (see http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms143504.aspx).
Can anyone tell me what the drawbacks are of doing this?

Without going to services.msc / configuration manager, is there anyway to know the service account through which SQL server is running?

Hi
Using SQL Server 2005 with SP1, I have successfully managed to schedule jobs to run SSIS packages. They connect to another SQLServer 2000 box, using SQLOLEDB connection manager, to extract data and import it into SQL 2005. The protection level for the packages is Server storage so that the job is run under the SQL Agent account. This is a specific domain account so that it can access other servers.
However, using the same setup for a scheduled job to to run an SSIS package which connects to another SQL Server 2000 box with connection manager SQL OLEDB, I get the following error message:
The AcquireConnection method call to the connection manager "xxx" failed with error code 0xC0202009.
As the both the successful and failed jobs seem to have been set up in the same way with the same protection levels and are both run under a domain sql agent account, is there anything else I should be checking that I don't know about?
Any help is much appreciated!

When I try to give myself administrative rights SQL presents me with the following error message:
TITLE: .Net SqlClient Data Provider------------------------------An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server. When connecting to SQL Server 2005, this failure may be caused by the fact that under the default settings SQL Server does not allow remote connections. (provider: Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 - Could not open a connection to SQL Server)For help, click: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink?ProdName=Microsoft+SQL+Server&EvtSrc=MSSQLServer&EvtID=2&LinkId=20476------------------------------BUTTONS:OK------------------------------
This isn't just only a problem with the administrative rights. This happens in many different places such as when I try and add a new data source in VB Express 2005 it gives approximately the same error message.
My MSSQLSERVER service is running nicely but my SQLSERVER isn't and on top of that I can't get it to start!
If anybody can help me out here I would really grateful.
Thanks.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
OK. I fixed that with the help of another thread that was similar except now this message is coming to haunt me:
TITLE: System.Data------------------------------Instance failure.------------------------------BUTTONS:OK------------------------------
I'm purely guessing this is related my SQLSERVER service not running but that is purely a guess. Getting back to the problem I have no clue how to fix it!
Please help!

During install of SQL Server 2005, we can of course use a domain account or the built-in system account for running the services. I lean toward domain for obvious reaons but would like to know a +/- to each option and why I'd choose one over the other and what consequences or limitations one may encounter if I choose one over the other.

I have several DTS jobs that runs well as a job with my nt login account for the SQL agent service startup account, but if I use the System account
they fail with this error.
" Error opening datafile: Access is denied. Error source: Microsoft Data Transformation Services Flat File Rowset Provider"
The data has change access to the System account under the NT security.
Thank you in advanced.

Hello! I have the following problem. I developed CLR Stored Procedure "StartNotification" and deploy it on db. This sp calls external web service. Furthermore, this sp is called according with SQL Server Agent Job's schedule. On my PC SQL Server works under Local System account and this web service is called correctly (Executed as user: NT AUTHORITYSYSTEM). But on ther other server the following exception is raised during job running:
Date 17.04.2007 16:42:10
Log Job History (FailureNotificationJob)
Step ID 1
Server MSK-CDBPO-01

Step Name MainStep
Duration 00:00:00
Sql Severity 16
Sql Message ID 6522
Operator Emailed
Operator Net sent
Operator Paged
Retries Attempted 0
Message
Executed as user: CORPmssqlserver.
A .NET Framework error occurred during execution
of user defined routine or aggregate 'StartNotification':
System.Security.SecurityException: Request for the permission of type
'System.Net.WebPermission, System, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral,
PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089' failed. System.Security.SecurityException:
at System.Security.CodeAccessSecurityEngine.Check(Object demand,
StackCrawlMark& stackMark, Boolean isPermSet)
at System.Security.CodeAccessPermission.Demand()
at System.Net. The step failed.
What is the reason of this behaviour? Unfortunately I do not have direct access to this server.
I have the following guesses:
1) CORPmssqlserver may have not enough permissions to call web service
2) Something wrong with SQL Server account's permissions
2) Something wrong with SQL Server Agent account's permissions
I will take the will for the deed. Thanks.

Hi all,
I do understand that it is highly recomended to have aserprate user (perfered a domain user account) for each of the SQL Server service and SQL Agent service.
What is the reason behind that? (Someone told me to not run the service with an account that has a powerul privilegs! - I don't undrstanmd this point can you explain it please?)
What is the diffrent between: 1- Local System account 2 -Network Service account
Thanks in advanced!

I'm creating one of my first asp.net pages, and it accesses an MS SQL database.It runs fine locally, but if you go to it remotely through a web browser, you get an exception saying that the database login failed for user ASPNET.My brother told me to do the following in SQL Server Managment studio. It seems I don't have that program installed, so I did it from the SQL command prompt.CREATE LOGIN [bigblueASPNET] FROM WINDOWSuse AdventureWorkscreate user [bigblueASPNET](Where "bigblue" is the computer name and "AdventureWorks" is the database my asp.net web page reads from).This only partially fixed the problem - now when you open the page remotely and try to access the DB I get an error message saying that permission to use the SELECT command is denied.I searched on these forums, and found this:http://forums.asp.net/69166/ShowPost.aspxFor future reference, let's call what my brother told me "Method 1" and what the previous poster did as "Method 2."I haven't tried method 2 because I don't know exactly what I am giving ASPNET permission to do. Does method 2 enable ASPNET to do anything to any database? It seems method 1 is more secure, as from the commands I could already tell it only has permission to access AdventureWorks.So, I'd prefer to use method 1. Can anyone tell me what further commands I can use to give ASPNET permission to do specific actions?If I can't figure out method 1 and have to do method 2, how can I undo what I did in method 1?Thanks!

Okay now this is weird, today the Reporting Services was not running and here are the entries in the event log:
Event Type: Error
Event Source: Service Control Manager
Event Category: None
Event ID: 7041
Date: 12/12/2007
Time: 9:47:22
User: N/A
Computer: TFS
Description:
The ReportServer service was unable to log on as DOMAINTFSREPORTS with the currently configured password due to the following error:
Logon failure: the user has not been granted the requested logon type at this computer.
Service: ReportServer
Domain and account: DOMAINTFSREPORTS
This service account does not have the necessary user right "Log on as a service."
User Action
Assign "Log on as a service" to the service account on this computer. You can use Local Security Settings (Secpol.msc) to do this. If this computer is a node in a cluster, check that this user right is assigned to the Cluster service account on all nodes in the cluster.
If you have already assigned this user right to the service account, and the user right appears to be removed, a Group Policy object associated with this node might be removing the right. Check with your domain administrator to find out if this is happening.
For more information, see Help and Support Center at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp
I am the administrator of the machines and I can assure you that no domain policy has changed for a couple of weeks. What should I look for?

After installing SQL Server 2005, a security scan was performed on the SQL server. Below are a few items that the scan identified within the Windows User Rights Assignment as potential vulnerabilities; it is worthy to note in Microsoft's defense that we lock things down pretty tightly in our IT shop. I suspect the SQL Server install assigns these OS privileges to the SQLServer and SQLServerAgent accounts by default. I have not heard of the 1st, 3rd and 4th below and suspect that they are not essential to the normal operation of SQL Server, but would like to know if anyone out there knows for sure. We are considering eliminating some or all of these privieleges for the SQLServer and SQLServerAgent system accounts at the OS level.
1) SQLServer and SQLServerAgent accounts have "Bypass Traverse Setting" privilege within Windows User Rights Assignment
2) SQLServer and SQLServerAgent accounts have "Log on as Batch Job" privilege within Windows User Rights Assignment. I realize I need this to schedule SQL Server jobs which run batch jobs and such, but any other reason to keep this privilege.
3) SQLServer and SQLServerAgent accounts have "Memory Quota" privilege within Windows User Rights Assignment
4) SQLServer and SQLServerAgent accounts have "Replace Process Token" privilege within Windows User Rights Assignment
Any guidance on this would be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Jason

I recently installed SQL Server 2005 and setup a database for one of the systems that I support as a DBA. After installation and the system, which has remote developers, was tested successfully, our security group performed a security scan on the SQL server. The scan revealed a few potential vulnerabilities. Below are the questionable items that the scan identified within the Windows User Rights Assignment. I believe the SQL Server installation assigns these system privileges to the SQLServer and SQLServerAgent accounts by default. I'd like to know how many, if any of these privileges, are necessary.
1) SQLServer and SQLServerAgent accounts have "Bypass Traverse Setting" privilege within Windows User Rights Assignment
2) SQLServer and SQLServerAgent accounts have "Log on as Batch Job" privilege within Windows User Rights Assignment. I realize I need this to schedule SQL Server jobs which run batch jobs and such, but any other reason to keep this privilege.
3) SQLServer and SQLServerAgent accounts have "Memory Quota" privilege within Windows User Rights Assignment
4) SQLServer and SQLServerAgent accounts have "Replace Process Token" privilege within Windows User Rights Assignment
Any guidance on this would be greatly appreciated.

Hi there
We have 1 database that using SQL2005 and as Domain Admin I couldn't get access to one of the VIEW. But some other guys (not sure which group he is on as yet) can access no problem.
So I've setup my login as dbo of that database and still I couldn't get access to SELECT.
Any ideas?

Bummer. I can't remember the SA password. I had setup a user account, but I can't change anything or add any new accounts using this login. I can't get in using the windows authentication method no matter how I am logged into this machine.
Any suggestions? I have never been able to use Windows Authentication. There must be something I'm missing here. I have spent hours and hours trying to get into this machine. I just want to replicate a database. This is very frustrating.
Thanks guys.

VS2005Hi
If I run the below code (this simply connects to SQL Server and returns the user name the connection is made under): Dim Connection As New SqlConnection(System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings("LocalSqlServer").ToString)
Dim AttCommand As New SqlCommand("SELECT System_USER", Connection)
Connection.Open()
Dim AttendanceReader As SqlDataReader = AttCommand.ExecuteReader
AttendanceReader.Read()
Debug.Print(AttendanceReader.Item(0).ToString)I get:
MyDomainpootle.flump
Which is the account I am running on the dev machine. I expected ASP.Net to run as ASPNET irrespective of the currently logged in account. Am I plain wrong? Do I need to change something in IIS? Do I need to change something in ASP.Net?
Any help greatly appreciated
Thanks

Our system is MS SQL Server v7 and NT 4. We have a stored procedure that exec's xp_cmdshell to run an external program located on the server. When a user who has 'sa' rights runs this stored procedure it works fine. When a 'non-sa' user (via the "BuiltinUsers" NT account) runs it, xp_cmdshell produces the following error:
Msg 50001, Level 1, State 50001
xpsql.c: Error 1385 from LogonUser on line 476
Is there an NT security or SQL Server setting I've overlooked that can be changed to allow non-sa users to xp_cmdshell programs?
n.b. The BuiltinUsers account does already have execute permission on the xp_cmdshell procedure.

My development environment is IIS 5.1, asp.net 2.0, Visual Web Developer 05 Express, MS Sql 2005 Express with XP Pro. I used a "stored procedure" in a webpage Formview to insert a record in a child table after inserting a record in the parent table. All went well when testing in VWD.
After deploying to remote site on same machine, I get an error
"EXECUTE permission denied on object 'usp_Insertdataset', database 'Job_Tracker_SQL', schema 'dbo'"
when trying to insert. I know that SQL Express is not suppose to support stored procedures. Is there a work around? I need to host this site on this machine for the immediate future.

We have a DTS which loads files using FTP to another
server. This will be used by app groups and will be run
via click of button using sp_start_job,
Somehow the userid running the job gets "not sysadmin to
run cmdshell.." Top fix that, we granted it to execute the
xp_cmdshell and also created a proxy account for SQL Agent
which is an admin on server and sql. However, still we get
permission errors like "...The needed permission is
missing to run command shell.." Please help . The DTS is
being called from SQl Agent job and we don't want an admin
ID to be used .

Hi,
I am trying to set properties on a SQL Server7, but when I get to the tab for 'Startup Service account', it is greyed out. Also, the same for properties for SQL Server Agent.
Why can't I change it?
To schedule jobs, and have SQL mail, don't I need to set up a Startup Service Account?
Thanks for your help,

Has anyone ever converted from running SQL Server under the Local System account to running under a Domain User account?
I have often installed SQL using a Domain User account, but I am inheriting a couple of SQL Servers that were set up to run under Local System. I have never had to convert "on the fly" before.
If you have any input or insights, I would be grateful.

I just set up a SQL 2005 Server about a month ago that we will be moving all of our scattered DBs onto. I basically set it up with the default settings and didn't touch anything special, until I tried to install Microsoft System Center Essentials 2007 in our environment. I had problems getting it to use our SQL server, and a forum post told me to change all of the service accounts for SQL to use the LocalSystem login. So here are my service accounts:
SQL Server Integration Services
- NT AUTHORITYNetworkService
SQL Server FullText Search (MSSQLSERVER)
- LocalSystem
SQL Server (MSSQLSERVER)
- LocalSystem
SQL Server Analysis Services (MSSQLSERVER)
- LocalSystem
SQL Server Reporting Services (MSSQLSERVER)
- LocalSystem
SQL Server Browser
- LocalSystem
SQL Server Agent (MSSQLSERVER)
- LocalSystem
So Sandisk makes this software called CMC. It's for controlling their enterprise USB drives. And their software won't install. It errors out saying that it couldn't drop the database on our SQL server (but it doesn't exist). If I make an empty DB by the same name, it sees it, and then errors out anyway. I am using the SA login for testing (I was using a purposed SQL account before) so I don't think it's a rights issue. Sandisk says it should work, and they suggested I use SQL server express. But we run VMs, and running SQL server in another VM is going to use more of our memory pool. Plus we want centralized backups and all that.
Do my service account logins have anything to do with it? Can someone tell me what these should be set to by default so I can change them back?
Here's a trace I did when I tried to install the software:
-- network protocol: TCP/IP
set quoted_identifier on
set arithabort off
set numeric_roundabort off
set ansi_warnings on
set ansi_padding on
set ansi_nulls on
set concat_null_yields_null on
set cursor_close_on_commit off
set implicit_transactions off
set language us_english
set dateformat mdy
set datefirst 7
set transaction isolation level read committed
set implicit_transactions on
go
drop database [CruzerDb]
go
IF @@TRANCOUNT > 0 ROLLBACK TRAN
go
And here's more info if needed:
Product Version
- 9.00.3042.00
Edition
- Standard Edition
Server Collation
- SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS
Is Clustered
- No
Is FullText Installed

By default does CLR code run under the SQL Service Server account or the SQL Agent Service Account? Does anybody have a link to BOL or MSDN???
My assumption is its under SQL Server Service Account.
I'm trying to satisfy the DBA's security concerns in regards to CLR Code. If the account it runs under (Agent or service) has zero privliges will a dba still be able to maintain the server? Wouldnt all their backups work under a privilaged account that isnt the SQL Server Service Account?
Double posted in security.

Hi All,
I understand Sql Server Integration Services by default uses"NT AuthorityNetwork Service" account as service account. Is running SSIS using "NT AuthorityNetwork Service" account is good or should we create a domain account to run the SSIS service.
