Can't Get In To SQLServer 2005 Express With A Privileged Account
Aug 10, 2006
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.

Hi,
I have a least privileged SQL Login Client? and have granted execute rights on XP_Cmdshell SP at master db. When I execute master.. XP_Cmdshell dir Im getting the below error.
Msg 15153, Level 16, State 1, Procedure xp_cmdshell, Line 1
The xp_cmdshell proxy account information cannot be retrieved or is invalid. Verify that the '##xp_cmdshell_proxy_account##' credential exists and contains valid information.

Hi experts;
I have a problem with unicode character 0x2300
I created this table
create table testunicode (Bez nchar(128))
Insert Data
insert into testunicode (Bez)values('’')
with 2 Unicode characters
= 0x2300
’ = 0x2122
Selecting the data
select Bez from testunicode
I see
"?’"
’ = 0x2122 is ok but instead of 0x2300 there is 0x3f
When I modify the insert statement like that ( 8960 = 0x2300 )
insert into testunicode (Bez)values(NCHAR(8960)+'’')
and select again voila i see
"’"
Does anyone have an idea?
Thanks

I am trying to 'load' a copy of a SQLServer 2000 database to SQLServer 2005 Express (on another host). The copy was provided by someone else - it came to me as a MDF file only, no LDF file.
I have tried to Attach the database and it fails with a failure to load the LDF. Is there any way to bypass this issue without the LDF or do I have to have that?
The provider of the database says I can create a new database and just point to the MDF as the data source but I can't seem to find a way to do that? I am using SQL Server Management Studio Express.
Thanks!!

I have an app that uses a sqlserver 2000 jdbc driver to connect to a sqlserver 2000.
Is it possible to do a direct replacement of sqlserver 2000 with sqlserver 2005 express just by reconfiguring the app to point to the express? The app would still be using the sqlserver 2000 jdbc driver to try and make the connection.
If that is a possibility, what can be some differences in the configuration? Previously with 2000 the config information I entered is:
server name: "machinename"( or ip). I've also tried "machiname/SQLEXPRESS"
DB name: name of db instance
port: 1433(default)
user and pass.
My attempts so far results in
"java.sql.SQLException: [Microsoft][SQLServer 2000 Driver for JDBC]Error establishing socket."
and
"java.sql.SQLException: [Microsoft][SQLServer 2000 Driver for JDBC]Unable to connect. Invalid URL."

I'm trying to do an unattended install of SQL Express 2005 SP2, and specify that the service runs under the Local Service account. Prior versions of SQL Express worked fine.
With SQL Express 2005 SP2, however, the install fails on XP Pro SP2. It *does* work on Winows 2003 Server.
Here's the command line I'm using:
SQLEXPR.EXE /QB ADDLOCAL=ALL INSTANCENAME=FOO SECURITYMODE=SQL SAPWD=BAR SQLACCOUNT="NT AUTHORITYLOCAL SERVICE"
It fails at the end of the install, saying it can't start the service. If I use "NETWORK SERVICE", it works fine, but that's more privileges than I want the service to have. Is there something else on the command line that I can try to get it to work?
Is this even supported?

Hi all,
I have a SQL Server 2005 Express edition instance set up on one server, and IIS on another server.
The SQL Server process account is a domain user account, which I have added to the local groups that SQL Server created during installation (I originally used a local user account instead of domain account; however, the problem occurs with both).
SQL Server runs fine, and if I set my IIS application pool identity to a domain admin, my web app can access the database and retrieve the data necessary.
However, I have a domain user account that I want to use to run the app pool and retrieve the data. The domain user account is added to the IIS_WPG group on the web server. On the database server, I have created a login for the account, as well as added it to the db_datareader role of the database that is used for the site.
However, the user is not able to connect to the SQL Server. I get the "Login failed for user <user account>" error in ASP.NET. I also tried connecting with SQL Server Management Studio, and I get the same error. I checked and the user has connect permission to the database server.
With admin accounts, there are no problems logging in, etc.
Any pointers are appreciated,
Thanks,
SA.
Edit: I was able to find out that the State is 11 for the error. According to http://blogs.msdn.com/sql_protocols/archive/2006/02/21/536201.aspx, this indicates "Valid login but server access failure." I am not sure how to resolve this.

Hi to all GURUS,
I am very (almost two days) new to SQL Server Express (in fact SQL Server). In my old applications I am using VB.Net 2005 Express with MS Access database and now I wants to go for SQL Server Express.
One thing I am unable to find till now is : if SQLServer Express is installed on my Server machine (say ServerPC) with attached database (say MyDB.mdf), how I can access it through ADO.Net 2.0 from client machine. (using VB.Net Express)
Thanks and hope you will encourge me to use SQL Server .

Ok from what I understand, sqlserver 2005 is FREE, and it is not limited by the number of concurrent connections etc etc.
So this means you can put sqlserver 2005 express on a dedicated server, and it can pretty much handle all the load you can throw right? (except if your say running myspace hehe)
Comments?

I have followed the link to download SP1 of SQLServer 2005 Express Edition, but, on that page nowhere it is mentioned that downloads offered are of SP1, it simply says that SQLServer 2005 Express edition.
What is the correct link and am I really on the correct page of SP1 ?

I am building a Visual Web Developer site with a SQL Server 2005 Express backend. I am trying to create the login page, I have written a stored procedure that takes in the username and password and returns a value which indicates whether the user is valid or not.
My problem now is integrating this stored procedure into the page. In Visual Studio 2003 you could just drag and drop the stored procedure from the Database Explorer window and it would create the neccessary SQLCommand which you can then pass parameters too and recieve return values, i.e:
sqlcommand1.Paramters[ "@username" ].value = TextUsername.Text;
sqlcommand1.Paramters[ "@password" ].value = TextPassword.Text;
sqlConnection1.Open();
sqlCommand1.ExecuteNonQuery();
Int Result = (int)sqlcommand.Parameters["@returnvalue"].value;
sqlConnection1.Close();
I see in VWD there are SqlDataSource's etc, is this what I need to use to do what I'm looking for and how do they exactly work? Ideally what I'm looking for is when a user clicks login, the contents of the 'username' and 'password' text boxes are queried against the database. What controls and configuration is required to achieve this?
Many thanks in advance,
Mervski

Iβm working with an Sqlserver 2005 Express database on my local machine, and using vs.net 2005.I need to enable the sqlserver cache by the way:
aspnet_regsql -E -d Northwind -ed
I encountered the remote connection problem(error:40).The northwind database was restored to the sqlserver 2005 express by the db file downloaded,and I added the ASPNET user.I also enabled the TCP/IP by using SQL Server Configuration Manager.
But all the web application connected to the Northwind database is working through the connection string:
"Data Source=WKS-DEV-04SQLEXPRESS;Initial Catalog=Northwind;Integrated Security=True"
Any help will be much appreciated, thank you very much for reading my post

Hi,
I can't seem to set up SQL server authentication for SQLserver 2005 Express edition..
I simply can't find the settings for that. I have Management Studio Express installed and I can see the SA user but I can't login using that user.. I know that there's supposed to be a setting for turning on SQL auth. but it's not like it used to be in Enterprise manager :) so I can't find it.. ;/ I couldn't find any documentation on how to do this so I thought I'll try here..
(I need SQL auth for my project :) - it must be done with that..)
Thanks in advance,

Hi,
Apologies if this has been asked before, i've done a search but can't find a definitive answer.
I've created a table in an SQLExpress 2005 db using Server Managment Studio Express.
My intention is to use GUID fields as surrogate PK's. I therefore wanted to add a additional index to prevent duplicate records being added to the table. Not having used SQLServer before could someone confirm or deny that this is the correct way to do this. The PK field [EPISODEID{unique identifier}] is set as a non-clustered index. And i've created a second clustered index using the two fields that create a unique record. I've added a screen shot if that is any help.
Thanks
Chris

Apparently you cannot go backwards. Once 2005 Express is installed, even removing it does not allow you to setup MSDE 2000 again. So there is no "trying it out" option.
Unfortunately, our software does not use 2005 Express. I tried it out, and now have a useless testing workstation that can't have MSDE 2000 installed again.
Any ideas on how to break the chain here are welcome.

Hi All,
I want to connect to SQLExpress database on the network. I can do so using code but I want to use the Data Source Configuration Wizard. It seems this only works for local instances of SQL server. Is this true?
I can connect just fine to the database on the network using Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio Express...for what this is worth.
I have tried to map a drive to the SQL server machine and pick the mdf file but I get the error msg of network path is not supported for database files....I have turned on allow remote connections, allow tcp/ip, named pipes, added sqlserv.exe and sqlbrowser.exe to my firewall exceptions ect..
I want to be able to use Table Adapters, SqlDataAdapters ect. After reading numerous forum questions/ kb articles this seems to be a common problem. I am on the verge of just saying forget it and use MS Access instead.
Thanks in advance!

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.

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,
