Backing Up Logins And Permissions For SQL Servers
May 31, 2006
Hi,
I work as an IT Administrator and part of my job role is to use
Enterprise Manager and Query Analyzer to backup the logins and
permissions for each database on our SQL Servers. This information is
used as a backup in the event of a server failing so we then have
something to fall back on if we need to add the same logins/permissions
again.
This takes ages to do, as I have to manually enter all the information
into a spreadsheet.
Steps:
- In Enterprise Manager I connect to a server then 'Security' tab, then
'Logins'. I then enter all items into a spreadsheet.
- In Query Analyzer I connect to a server then do 'sp_helpuser' to list
all the permissions for each database. I then enter all information
into a spreadsheet.
I was wondering if there is such a program available on the market that
would do this for me? I know that MS Baseline Security can show flat
file share permissions to a certain degree and was wondering if there
was a similar program out there to help me do my job easier, or if
there is a simple way of doing this in the future...
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Jenny

HI All,
I am currently in a situation where I have been fed to the wolves to say the least.
My task is to take the current SQL server 05 we have running on a drive array partioned as C & D and rebuild it.
I need to have the current database backed up, as well as the unique permissions that are currently present on the database.
I then have to remove the hard drives from the RAID array, and replace them with Brand new ones. The OS will then have to be reinstalled, followed by the nessary updates and finally with SQL server.
I then have to import the database back to the new server build w/ the data and the permissions all intact.
Anyone have any idea of how I can go about doing this?

Has anyone created a script that, when run against the Master database, will back up all databases on target servers?
Thanks

Hello:
We are working on an application but with other users who have been using the SA password. The application is running on MSSQL 6.5 and sp4.
We have been generally assigning logins/userids to new users although some people are using the SA id. The SA id password has been changed so that will stop users (really developers) from using it.
Most users are assigned to a group which has select, insert, update, delete
permission. Some users will be moved to a group which as only select privilege
I would like to query the system tables and see exactly what permissions
are assigned to each user.
I can look at Enterprise manager and cut and paste this information I think.This is cumbersome
1) Does anyone have a query I can run to get the userid/login and the permissions for each userid?
2) How can I make a user a dbo and give him/her the same permissions as a dbo on tablesalready creaetd?
Thanks.

Hi,
In my local instance of SQL Server at work (which I use for testing), somehow all of the logins except 2 were dropped. The administrators group no longer exists as a login (nor do any other windows users or groups)-the only 2 remaining are sa (which is disabled) and a SQL login I had created earlier which has no permissions except read permission on master. I can login as this SQL user, but I do not have permissions to create logins or enable the sa account. Do I have any options other than uninstalling and reinstalling my local instance?
Thanks,
-Dave

Hi,
I am at a company with 18 employees and I have 11-12 databases in SQL
server. I can't seem to give logins and permissions to groups. Is there
a simpler way, or do I have to add every single employee to each
database and give permissions?

Hi.
I wish to be bale to call a proc on a linked server but i am having difficulty with logins. I have a sql 2000 server linked to a sql 2005 server. To be able to call the proc on 2005 a login for the user must exist on both 2000 and 2005, and the login on 2005 must have access to the db and 'grant execute' on the proc.
Is there a way to allow access to the 2005 db without having to perform maintenance of the logins to ensure they match?
I know i could just have 1 login on 2005 that all users on 2000 are mapped to but this means new users added would have to also be mapped in the future.
Is it possible to call the stored proc on 2000 by impersonating a login that exists on both servers? Something similar to 'EXECUTE AS LOGIN = 'linklogin' in 2005? This would mean all users on 2000 could impersonate this one login and after this ine login is set up no further maintenance is required.
Thanks

I need to move several databases to a new server while retaining the same logins/permissions. Books Online indicates that DTS can move the SQL Server logins, but it sets the passwords to NULL in the process. Is there any way to move the logins and keep all passwords/permissions intact?

I know that there is Microsoft KB to migrate SQL Logins but it doesnt take care of Login Server level permissions or User level permissions.Idera used to have a Free tool SQLPermisions.exe but it works only on Windows XP/Vista not on Windows 7. Any third party tool (free or paid) which can migrate SQL Logins and User permissions ?

Haven't been able to find the answer to this after sever searches. So decided to open the thread myself.
I am trying to write a report enumerating logins in SQL Server and all database-level and object-level permissions granted to each login.
Can someone tell me what system objects I can query to fetch this information?
TIA.

As we all know logins and jobs aren't replicated when using AllwaysOn. What i wanna know is if the "tranfer login taks" will be enough to cover the transfer of logins between servers.

Hello all,I am looking for the script, which I believe exists already.I need tobe able to populate the script for security of one database andapply it to another database, even if it is located on another server:1. All logins which not exist have to be created and which existsignored including the NT accounts2. Users same as the old database + the existing ones stay in database3. Passwords for the new logins.4. All permissions/grants on all objects for the users that exists(usually it's the case) and ignore those that don't.I have script which does some of it, but it's not perfect, so everytime there are some errors.Please let me know, if you need me to email script that I have. It'spretty long so I cannot just post it in here.Thank you in advance.

Query to show logins that don't have any permissions within the SQL instance? I'm tasked with doing some cleanup and have found some cases where the database was deleted or moved to another server but the logins that used it were not deleted. I'd like to identify them to research.
For instance a query to show logins that have no permissions in any of the existing databases would be handy. I'm thinking it would be complicated by the need to loop through all of the existing databases and then outer join it to the list of instance level logins. Going to try to write something like that but was hoping that a script already exists.

Our company has 2 Database Roles (DBE and DBA). The DBE creates
database schema, performs SQL Server Administration, and manages server
security. The DBA writes data access, ETL, and manages database
security. In 2005, we're struggling with how to allow the DBA to see
all of the logins on the server in order to add them as users of their
database. What permissions does the DBA need to select from any of the
logins on the server to add them to their database?

Hi there,
Does anyone know a way (a query perhaps?) to determine which logins have write permissions to a specific database on SQL Server 2005? Ive thought about joining sys.syslogins & sys.sysusers but looking at the columns, not sure which one would render me that info.
Any help is appreciated. Many thanks!

A question on the permissions hierarchy:
Since logins, database users, and database roles are both principals and securables - what does it mean to GRANT permission on a login/user/role to another principal? Does it mean that for a login - you can GRANT permission to EXECUTE AS that login or modify it, for example?

We are having problems finding out how to transfer user permissions and passwords to a new server when we copy a database.
We have tried sp_helprotect and looked at system tables to try and retrieve the details to no avail.
The reason for this is that we are trying to write an application to automate this as we have many databases to transfer.
Thanks in advance.

ok, first, I know... I forgot to run a backup of the master database, and I forgot to run a script to caputure logins. Not that that is out of the way... I need to recreate the logins under the Securities tab below the databases. All the company databases have the user names and passwords assigned to them, but they are not able to login, because they are not able to authenticate to the SQL server first.
Is there a script that someone has that will copy the company database security info for the users and recreate them in the SQL security tab?
I know that I can rebuild them manually, but I need to delete them first in the application software, then delete them from the databases, and then recreate them in the application software... and as simple as that sounds... it is a slow moving process.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
John

What's the best way to solve this problem?
Please, help

I am a systems analyst and work with an app that runs against 2 SQL Server DBs. Though I have some familiarity with SQL Server and SQL, I am not a DBA.
The app executable is tied to a Windows service.
When we install the app, we run a process that builds 2 dbs to include:
Tables, indexes, stored procedures, views and user accounts.
SQL Server is set up for mixed mode authentication.
Normally, the dbs run off the local db user accounts which are tied to local logins with the same names.
We have a client that wants to remove our standard logins so that they can run on only a Windows login.
I know I should be able to tie the db users to a Windows login.
And I can do the same for the service.
But I am at a loss as to how to get this done.
How do you associate db users with a Windows login?
When I have tried sp_change_users_login I get an error that the Windows login does not exist. (Though I have added the Windows account to the DB.)
Hope this all makes sense.

I have a report that was designed using SQL Reporting Services that sits on a SQL reporting server. It's nothing too exciting, it is essentially a three page application with legal jumbo on pages 2 and 3 and applicant data in fields on page 1.
We use rectangles to force page breaks to page 2 and to page 3.
When running the report on the report server, it shows and prints fine.
When running the report from the QA website internally, it shows and prints just fine.
When running the report from the production website from a machine internally, it shows and prints just fine.
When running the report from outside of the company network, the report is jacked. It obliterates large chunks of text, crams text together, and creates blank pages.
I need help in determining where I even begin with trouble shooting this!

can anyone tell me if they know of a way to automate the update process from development servers to live server, with little interference from an administrator
I have a development team that are constantly updating their databases along with their ASP code, and want to publish changes an a weekly basis. They have asked me for a way to take their new structures, tables, procedures etc, and copy them to the live servers, but NOT to interfere with existing customer data.
Funny I know – and I hate the idea btw :(
Any references, contacts, 3rd party tool recommendations welcome,
Thanx,
Darren

I am in the middle of a major migraton project, moving from x86 SQL 2000 to IA64 SQL 2005. I have a business need to link to several legacy servers. I have a number of problems I am trying to solve.
1) Linking a Kerberos server to a non-Kerberos server.
2) Linking x64 or IA64 servers to x86 servers.
3) Linking SQL 2005 to SQL 2000.
Two of the errors I am encountering are:
------------------------------
TCP Provider: An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host.
Login failed for user '(null)'. Reason: Not associated with a trusted SQL Server connection.
OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI" for linked server "SCDC250DB" returned message "Communication link failure".
(Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 10054)
------------------------------
And
------------------------------
The OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI" for the linked server "SCDC250DB" reported an error. Authentication failed.
Cannot initialize the data source object of OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI" for linked server "SCDC250DB".
OLE DB provider "SQLCLI" for linked server "SCDC250DB" returned message "Invalid authorization specification".
(Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 7399)
If someone has worked through these problems before, I would appreciate it if you could direct me to the relevant documentation to resolve these issues.
Thanks!

Using SQL Server 2k5 sp1, Is there a way to deny users access to a specific column in a table and deny that same column to all stored procedures and views that use that column? I have a password field in a database in which I do not want anyone to have select permissions on (except one user). I denied access in the table itself, however the views still allow for the user to select that password. I know I can go through and set this on a view by view basis, but I am looking for something a little more global.

Hey, please forgive me if my infomation source was incorrect. But a friend of mine mentioned to me he had hurd of a program, or code that will make an "install script" of your database. Basically it`ll back up all the tables on your server and if the worst case senario happens then you can run the file like an install script. Is this true? It sounds invalueable! If it isnt true, can someone tell me if it is possible to use code to create a "install script" of your own database? I am using "Microsoft SQL Server".Thanks in advance John

Scenario:
I have August22 full backup and August22 and August23 transactions log backups . I want to get the August23 and August23 full backup. So I performed a restore backup with August22 full backup and all the August22 trn backups. Then I backed up giving it August23 name and repeated the process with the August23 trn backups. But, I get an error saying that the transactions haven't been rolled foward far enough. But, I am not missing any trns! I will really be grateful if anyone would help.
thanks.
