DB Engine :: Extract All Privileges And User Password For A User In DDL Format For Server?
Jul 12, 2010
My goal is to write a DR plan where i am restoring all user databases onto a diffrent server in a event of hardware failure. I was trying to figure out a way to extract DDL of user accounts and their permissions on all user databases so i can simplify my DR documentation.
This is the plan I came up with...to restore all system and user dbs on a different Physical SQLServer.
1. build named instance $PROD
2. restore master database
- startup sqlserver in single user mode -m or DAC sqlcmd -S ServerName -U sa -P<xxx> –A
net stop MSSQLSERVER$PROD
net start MSSQLSERVER$PROD -m
- restore database master from disk e:master.bak with replace;
3. start sqlserver normally
4. stop SQLServer agent
5. restore msdb
-restore database msdb disk e:msdb.bak with replace;
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
Basically to defend against SQL injection I want to be able to stop basic users or admins from being able to drop tables or doing other damaging activities. I'm using ms sql express, how can I do this? A friend mentioned that he uses MySql and user privileges can be set up in this way.
Is it possible to grant all privilege for all tables of a specified database through script? Because i have to send the script to user side and i can't do it manually in Enterprise Manager.regards,
hi, I created a View,like the following: Create View viewSecure as select * from sales.customer go Grant select on viewSecure to Andrew go Exec as login='Andrew' Select * from viewSecure go Revert go Alter Authorization On viewSecure to Jerry go Exec as login='Jerry' Select * from viewSecure go but, I received the error 'SELECT permission denied on object 'Customer', database 'AdventureWorks', schema 'Sales'. Meanwhile, I re-granted Select Privilege to Andrew, I got the same error. I know Alter Authorization command means to change the owner of an object. I got 3 questions need your help. 1. An user owned an object, if he may have no any privileges to this object? 2.Why I got the same error after re-granted Select privilege to Andrew? 3.How to pass privileges from one user to another?
I have a database for which I need the permissions to execute stored procedures, perform CRUD operations on tables, execute functions and SQL jobs. What should be the SQL command if I am to create a user for this database who will have the most minimum privileges to carry out these activities?
My users are unable to view reports on server A. When trying to access it shows up as users have no access to the reports. We have another server B which also deploys the same set of reports,to the same set of users as Server A.Users are able to view the reports on Server B. Both server B & A are used for deploying reports that are created on another development server.I am very new to the concepts of IIS and report administration.Could someone tell me what I can start checking on? What are the settings that I can compare on both server ?
If I am not very clear on the problem explained above.Do let me know I would be glad to explain futher.
Can a user be granted the ability to create stored procedures with read only capabilities? I wouldn't mind be able to UPDATE but simply need to read only.
I have installed Visual Web Developer Express 2005 with Sql Server Express, I can login with window authentication, but I want to create different user and password that I can use to access a database I have created, can anybody help me how to do this ? Thanks.
Ok so I have a SQL server database set up and I can't figure out how to create the spot where the user's login password should go and also what the specifics of the password column should be.....and yeah....all help is appreciated
Hi;I am making a software (.Net) which is going to connect a ms sql server but I cant conect yet :(.1- I dont know what I have to type for user id (name)2- What is my password, it has been long time that I hvae installed it but I dont need any password with Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio Express which has windows authentication option. My software can work via internet or network. So I need to know my user name and password. I am using oledbconnection. Do I need any password?3- I visited www.connectionstrings.com already so I have the format of it.Thanks very much for any help...
SQL Server 2005 Express keeps putting in a different password than the one I chose. I would check the properties on the login I want to change. Then I change the password and it gets accepted. When I try my web application, I get the dreaded "login failed for <loginname>". I look at the properties again and see my password never change. Is this a bug? I ever tried this syntax to no avail:
CREATE LOGIN <loginname> WITH PASSWORD='<mypassword>' CHECK_EXPIRATION = OFF, CHECK_POLICY = OFF
We need to use SQL Server Authentication for some reason and would like to enforce Password Policy with 90-day expiration period. I found "Change password" dialogue appears when I first logged in with the new user, but don't know
(1)what happens when the user failed to change the password before it's expired or (2)how a user can change his password in advance of the expiration date with no particular server-level permission.
How do I add login user ASPNET to my SQL 2000 Desktop Engine Server?. I can not find the "Server Manager" in the Start - Programs. Is there any other way to get around adding ASPNET login to the SQL server so I can test my VB program. I got the error: Login failed for user 'com_nameASPNET'.
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.
I am havining problems connecting to my database in some projects. I installed MSDE and didn't get prompted for any passwords. When I Initialize the connection and use: Integrated Security=aspi, the connection works ok for some projects but not for others, it doesn't seem to work with a server-side script block or from a sql dattabase that I created in the server explorer in visual studio VB.NET. When I test the dattabase connection in server explorer it works fine.
Is this intergrate securtiy supposed to work only with applications that connect to sample databases like the pubs database, and also not in server-side script?
How do I create a username and password for a default instance of MSDE?
I have found setup instruction on upgrading MSDE to create a username and password but I am not upgrading.
If I do create a username and password will initializing the connection with: Intergrated Security = aspi, still work?
I would apprecate any help I could get as I am a newbee. Many thanks, Glen Conaway
I have just installed MSDE (first time ever). I am now trying to work with it (first time ever) Most tools I now find I need to use, ask simple questions like:
Name of Server: User Name: Password:
I know the name of the server - fantastic I did not specify a user name or password when installing -
WHAT DOES IT WANT ????
ie, How do you specify the user name and password AFTER installing the server.

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.

"cannot open user default database. Login failed. login failed for user My'server/MyuserName'"

Can the user change their password in Enterprise Manager? When they follow the documentation, this does not seem to work unless they are sa: (I know about sp_password....we are trying to find a GUI method for typical user.)
Expand a server group; then expand a server. Expand Security; then click Logins. In the details pane, right-click the login to modify, and then click Properties. In Password, on the General tab, enter a new password. Confirm the password.
Is it possible for the SA to find out a current user's password. I know that it is possible for the SA to change the user's password, but I am lost as to how to find the user's current password. Any help would be appreciated, Thanks
My SQL Server is running as a Domain user account and it asked me to enter the password for thr Domain user account when I was changing the Startup account from Local to Domain user. My QUESTION here is: Is there a way or command for me to change the password automatically on the Services account, if I change the password for the Domain User account/.

Hi all, I can run the import/exp through the utility and link to oracle to extract data via OLE DB ORACLE interactively,it run prefectly ok.
However, when I try to schedule as a package and jobs, it always give me invalid password/username. Why the username/password not save or somehow it wouldn't accept when run as package or jobs?
I have a database app that deploys with sql 2005 express to each end-user. I would like to install sql 2005 express using Windows Authentication only. In this case, should I bother to set an sa password? And if I do set the sa password, how would I go about making sure that the sa password is different for every installation of sql express? Would it be recommended to save every end-user's sa password (possibly tens of thousands of passwords) just in case sql maintenance needs to be done on their computer? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Is there a T-SQL command or script that would help me in retrieving a lost SQL User password? I have just migrated a SQL server instances from one server to another, and in order to modify the SSIS packages, I need the password for the user that it uses. I would much rather know the existing password rather than change it.
