Had a user created from a local NT account called joe. Used mixed mode athentication. Things are fine.
Later, we needed to add all users from primary domain account (domain2joe), and not have users on all the local servers (joe). Instead central athentication. So I removed the SQL user bill(that was there from local NT account), then went ahead and added the same username, but from a different domain (domain2joe). (same SQL username!) Now when I go into database access to grant user joe access to database1, SQL complains saying that the user already exists. I check the database1 and the user isn't there. BUT, the user bill exists on the SQL role "public" of that database.
I can I add this user and grant access to database1 when SQL thinks the user already exists?
How do I remove user from public role?
We have been working on an application that will be using a forms-authenticated report server (RS2005) as a reporting back-end. Using the reporting services web service I have been able to assign permissions to objects in reporting services no problem. The issue is that each user needs to be added to the System User role to be able to use the report builder properly. I can't seem to find a way to do this programmatically. Any idea?
I try to add a db_role or a user to all my databases with one script. Although parsing doesn't report any problem I get a Syntax error during execution. I first select the database names into a #temp table which has two columns, ID and dbname. After that I use the following code:
This is my first time to deploy an asp.net2 web site. Everything is working fine on my local computer but when i published the web site on a remote computer i get the error "Failed to generate a user instance of SQL Server due to failure in retrieving the user's local application data path. Please make sure the user has a local user profile on the computer. The connection will be closed" (only in pages that try to access the database) Help pleaseee
I gave a user access to a number of instances. I ended up restoring one of six instances he had access to. He no longer has access, as he did not exist for this instance during the backup. And I cannot provide him with access - I get a "User Already Exists" error. I've found some documentation on this, but I've had no luck.
Hi! I've restored a backup from server A in server B. In server A I used to have a db_owner, called sitebase. After restoring the backup in server B, I created the user sitebase again and tried to grant him db_owner through Server Manager but I got the error: user or role already exists in the current database. How can I avoid this situation and grant db_owner to him? Thanks, Fábio
I have some script which creates/grant priveleges to windows/nt users to DB but i frequently get the message below:
Windows NT user or group '<user or group>' not found. Check the name again.
I understand that this is because the said user/group is indeed not present in the environment I'm running the script (ie. testing and production environment).
But is it possible to have some sort of checking whether the user/group exists in the environment so that I could determine whether or not to call some lines of code?
Not sure if this is possible so i had to ask. c",)
SQL Server 7 i did a restore of a database, then tried to add the User login to it, but when i select database access, i get the followinf error :- "Error 15023, user or role already exists !
the user did exist on the Database, but when i select Database,Users or Database,Roles the User doesn't exist !! so i can't drop it !
I used a backup copy of our production DB (residing in our prod machine) to do a database RESTORE to our test DB (residing in our test machine). This step was successful. However when I tried to access the test DB via Peoplesoft application, I am unable to logon. Only then did I notice that all the users, with the exception of "sa", were gone. When I attempted to add a user via Enterprise Manager's Action - Add Database User, I get the message, "Error 15023: User or role '%' already exists in the current database. What's the best way to fix this without resorting to copying the source server's master database (If i do this, I risk clobbering some other DB's that are present in the target server but not in source server)? Any help you can provide will be greatly appreciated!!!

Hi, I'm able to connect to my db using ASP.NET, but now I need to connect with ASP. I need to add a user like <computer name>ASP( I already have <computer name>ASPNET) using windows authentication to the db. I cannot seem find the way to do this in SQL Server management Studio, because it tells me that it doesn't find that group. Where can I add this user?Thanks a lot.
I am trying to add a user in every database. So far I have tried using a cursor - Wont work because you cannot issue Use @database_name within the cursor. I have also tried master.dbo.sp_MsForeachdb "exec sp_grantdbaccess 'user'" this does not work either as it addes the user to the first database then doesnt cycle through. I also tried fully qualifying the sp_grantdbaccess with master.dbo.sp_grantdbaccess.
If you have a way of doing this i would appreciate some help.

In Ms SQL 2000, I want to be able to share my database with another user butI only want them to be able to look at the database and not be able tochange anything.Does anyone know how I go about doing this?
I have inserted a new NT user via the Security Manager applet into a group associated with two databases. Now when I select 'Logins' from the Server Manager window and then double-click the newly added user, I receive this message 'Error 21770: The name '<NT username>' was not found in the Users collection.'
Can anyone please explain the above error message.
I currently have a sql server 2000 sp4 instance with a read-only db on it. We get tlogs shipped from an outside vendor and keep a copy of the production database in house for reporting purposes. The database is in read-only mode because we apply new tlogs daily. Recently we did a full recover and applied 2 tlogs.
The issue: There is a user YYY in the database and at the server level, but they aren't linked. So I do what I usually do and run the following command:
Server: Msg 3906, Level 16, State 1, Procedure sp_change_users_login, Line 109 Could not run BEGIN TRANSACTION in database 'ZZZ' because the database is read-only.
Now this error makes sense and I understand why, so my question is how do I fix the users not being linked?
This is driving me crazy! The SQL Statement refenced is shown at the end of this email.
When I try and run the statement, an error is raised saying that Undrawn_GT5MIL_LE365Days is invalid (likewise for Undrawn_LE5MIL_LE365Days). From what I can gather, it is saying that I cannot include a User Defined variable in another argument. This is unlike Access. Any suggestions?
SQL View.......

I have an ASP.NET 2 external application that is using and mix of the web services and tables/sps available from my 2005 SSRS.
I want to add an authenticated user from the external application. I don't see a web service that will do this. I have been through the SP's and can create roles, authenticated users, policies etc. But I think I need to update the XmlDescription field in the SecData table.
Do I need to build this XML string from scratch or is there a function / sp / web service that will do this. XML is a long ways from my strong suit.
Or am I just crazy and I should redirect my users to the Security tab!
The current setup is as follows: SQL 2005 64bit v9.0.3054 Windows 2003 SP2
Problem: When trying to add an AD user to SQL, I receive error 15401
Background: The user's last name was recently changed and so all relevant AD fields were appropriately changed: Lastname, Displayname, E-mail, UserLogonname, UserLogonname (pre-Windows 2000). The user's previous email account has not been changed except for additional email addresses to account for the new name and old name. Also note, the uses Exchange alias is still the previous account name.
When I enter the user's new account name into the Login Name field in SQL I recieve the 15401 error. When I do a search for the user's new account name SQL finds the previous account name and not the new one. I have reviewed KN 324321 and that article does not resolve this error. The user account can be found be only using the original account name and not the new one.
On the same SQL server, I opened the security settings for a folder and added the new user's account name and it was found. I then had it search for the user's old login name and it could not find it.
I've created an rdl report in reporting services 2005. Report is working fine. I've deployed this report on SQL Server 2005. The problem is this that to access the reports from client, I need to add client's login ID in Administrator user's group os server. If I dont add them in that group, it shows following error:
"The permissions granted to user 'loginname' are insufficient for performing this operation. (rsAccessDenied)".
This solution works fine in development but in actual environment, I can't add users in that group. Can anyone tell me how to view reports without adding user in administrator group. Its urgent.
Hi, Apologies in advance if you get confused by reading this.... I am trying to create an additional step in the Create Wizard User Control that is provided by ASP.net. The additional step that I want to add will come after a user will create their username, password, email etc. The information which I want to save in the extra step are details such as firstname, lastname, address, height, weight etc. (I am creating an online weight management system for dieticians).When I run through the application, the username, password etc save perfectly to the database, but nothing happens with the other "personal information". There are no errors thrown so I don't know where the problem is coming from.I have included the code below as I have it:The code behind the Register.aspx file is as follows: <asp:SqlDataSource ID="InsertExtraInfo" runat="server" ConnectionString="<%$ ConnectionStrings:ASPNETDBConnectionString1 %>" InsertCommand="INSERT INTO [aspnet_UserInformation] ([first_name], [surname], [address1], [address2], [city], [country], [number], [height], [weight]) VALUES (@txtFirstName, @txtSurname, @txtAddress1, @txtAddress2, @txtCity, @txtCountry, @txtNumber, @txtHeight, @txtWeight)" ProviderName="<%$ ConnectionStrings:ASPNETDBConnectionString1.ProviderName %>"> <InsertParameters> <asp:ControlParameter Name="txtFirstName" Type="String" ControlID="txtFirstName" PropertyName="Text" /> <asp:ControlParameter Name="txtSurname" Type="String" ControlID="txtSurname" PropertyName="Text" /> <asp:ControlParameter Name="txtAddress1" Type="String" ControlID="txtAddress1" PropertyName="Text" /> <asp:ControlParameter Name="txtAddress2" Type="String" ControlID="txtAddress2" PropertyName="Text" /> <asp:ControlParameter Name="txtCity" Type="String" ControlID="txtCity" PropertyName="Text" /> <asp:ControlParameter Name="txtCountry" Type="String" ControlID="txtCountry" PropertyName="Text" /> <asp:ControlParameter Name="txtNumber" Type="String" ControlID="txtNumber" PropertyName="Text" /> <asp:ControlParameter Name="txtHeight" Type="String" ControlID="txtHeight" PropertyName="Text" /> <asp:ControlParameter Name="txtWeight" Type="String" ControlID="txtWeight" PropertyName="Text" /> </InsertParameters> </asp:SqlDataSource> Then the code I have behind the Register.aspx.cs page is: protected void CreateUserWizard1_CreatedUser(object sender, EventArgs e) { TextBox UserName = (TextBox)CreateUserWizard1.FindControl("UserName"); SqlDataSource DataSource = (SqlDataSource)CreateUserWizard1.FindControl("InsertExtraInfo"); MembershipUser User = Membership.GetUser(UserName.Text); //object UserGUID = User.ProviderUserKey; DataSource.InsertParameters.Add("UserId", UserGUID.ToString()); DataSource.Insert(); } I know there is a problem with the code on the aspx.cs page but I cant figure it out. I need the username / password information to relate to the personal details information. I know I have to create a foreign key in the asp_UserInformation table that will link to the username in the asp_Membership (where all the username / password info is stored) Any help will do, I'm almost in tears here!!!The Spud
This is a pretty simple query that tracks 'yesterdays' apply clicks on our website.

No problem there, that's fine.
But how can i put a simple date range interface on my published report so users can say "get me the stats from 04/09/2005 to 20/09/2005, which then runs the query?
When I am in Visual Studio 2005, and I try to add an SQL database, I get the following error "generating user instances in sql server is disabled. use sp_configure user instances enabled to generate user instances." I am currently using SQL server 2005 Express. What do I need to do, to create an SQL database? Thanks in advance.
Deleting a Login from a server instance and adding it back did not show that the login was still mapped to databases. In SQL Server 2008, adding a Windows Login did not permit access to end user databases until the Windows Login was mapped to various databases. In SQL Server 2012, once a Windows Login is added to SQL Server Security, it may access ANY end user databaseWe use the following to circumvent this problem, Windows Login by Windows Login: DENY VIEW ANY DATABASE TO [TESTTest1]
I am trying to create an ASPNET Login for a SQL Server express Database (As Installed via Visual Studio) so my ASP Web Applications can invoke the Database. But SQLServer Managemnt Tool is not recognising any ASPNET user names I try. I am trying to add via Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio Express, but get an error " An Object (User or Built-in Security principal) with the following name cannot be found "mycomputerASPNET". "
Any obvious reason why ASPNET is not being recognised as a Login object object
Unfortunately I am on VISTA and IIS7 ( I have enabled, and checked that ASP Applications Run.)
- The process works OK on my other XP machine, ASP.NET via IIS 5.1, which seems more straightforward to set up.
i'm using the Enterpirse library logger to write logs into a database. When choosing connection string i choose the database i want in the "connection properties" dialog box and push 'Test connection' button. everything goes well.
then i open the SQL Server Management studio express and connect to the databse to check some things, from that point on , when i push the 'Test Connection' button in the Enterprise library i get the error:
"cannot open user default database. Login failed. login failed for user My'server/MyuserName'"
even when i close the sql server manager , it is still stuck - the connection test doesn't work anymore.... it only work when i restart the computer.
