Hello,
I would move a Database to another server. I try to use DTS but I have problems with this process because DB have big tables, I think. I try to use DETACH and ATTACH procedures but logins doesn't export. And more, in new server there are already logins from another DBs.
What's the best way to solve this problem?
Please, help
Thanks
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
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.
Hello,
How can I find out the list of existing logins on the server (SQL server 2005)? Including Windows Autentification?
good afternoon,
Does any1 know how to prevent a login screen being encountered upon hitting the SQL dbase? I'm sure there is a table in SQL server that you can create that allows this (and the number of rows retrieved as well). Can any1 help me out?
Thanks in advance for any and all help

I have succeeded in reattaching the db to the new server, but the old logins do not work, as has been experienced by many people.
What follows was is a solution from an earlier post (last year) on this topic. I tried running the queries from Master in on the new server, and got the following error:
Server: Msg 2601, Level 14, State 3, Line 1
Cannot insert duplicate key row in object 'sysusers' with unique index 'sysusers'.
The statement has been terminated.
The sql queries I am using are:
insert sysxlogins(srvid, sid, xstatus, xdate1, xdate2, name, password, dbid, language)select srvid, sid, xstatus, xdate1, xdate2, name, password, dbid, language
from "oldServerName".master.dbo.sysxlogins
where name not in ('DISTRIBUTOR_ADMIN', 'REPL_PUBLISHER', 'REPL_SUBSCRIBER', 'TRACEUSER', 'SA')
AND
insert sysusers(uid, status, name, sid, roles, createdate, updatedate, altuid, password)
select uid, status, name, sid, roles, createdate, updatedate, altuid, password
from "oldServerName".master.dbo.sysusers
where name not in ('public', 'INFORMATION_SCHEMA', 'db_owner', 'db_accessadmin', 'db_securityadmin', 'db_ddladmin', 'db_backupoperator', 'db_datareader','db_datawriter', 'db_denydatareader', 'db_denydatawriter', 'guest', 'dbo')
The old server is set up as a linked server on the new server.
This suggests that the information is all in the new server. Any tips? TIA D. Lewis
We are in process of migrating of databases from one Server to another, Can anyone please suggest me how to transfer or copy the logins from one Server to the other instead of creating them all over again??
Thanks in advance...
Hi,
Can anyone help me to script sql server logins.
Thanks,

I need to restore the logins from prod server "A" to a dev server. The dev server has many databases from different prod servers. If I restore the master from prod A to dev, i'll lose the logins on dev for the other dbs. How can I get the logins from prod A to dev without losing the other logins for the other dbs?
Your help is greatly appreciated!
Can someone remind me where Server Logins are stored in SQL Server?
View 7 Replies View RelatedI have an application that runs off an sql server 2000 sp3 database. I have taken a backup (.bak file) of the production database and restored it to another server for testing purposes. the users cannot login to the new server because the logins have not been transfered to the new server. I am looking to transfer the logins using the procedure outlined at the following link: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/246133/ under the header "Create and Run Stored Procedures in the Master Database". what I need to know is will this procedure affect the production server in any way? (I can't have that) and is there anything else I need to do after this to let the users login to the test server with the same name and passwords?
thanks for any help
I need to create a new login that only has access to 2 Views.
I have tried everything, A New Role, Schema, set the Securables but when I connect to the server with MS Access or MS Excel, and sign in using that Login, I can still a bunch of tables. I only want this Login to be able to run either view and not see anything thing else.
Historically, many of us have used bulk copy to move selected contents of syslogins from one server to another so that the logins stayed in sync for things such as replication, log shipping, etc.
In SQL 2005, I have no access to passwords (this is proper from a security perspective) so I can't generate a file with bulk copy. I also can't update sys.server_principals, so it doesn't really matter that I can't export the passwords.
So what is the SQL 2005 solution? Suppose I decide to mirror my database. How do I get the logins that are users of that database over to the mirror server? Scripting the logins won't work because it generates a random password. sp_change_users_login requires me to provide a password but then I would have to know each login's current password or give them each a new password. This is viable with 2 users; it is not viable with 2000!
I know that Copy Database Wizard will move the logins with the passwords intact, but it will assign new SIDs to SQL Server authentication logins. That's fine as long as it is a one-time move but not if I am maintaining a warm standby.
This problem has been one of the most frequent problems posted on newsgroups, etc. in the past. But we have had solutions. I fear that we do not have one in SQL 2005.
I'd appreciate any help you can provide.
Thanks,
Sharon
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?

View 5 Replies View RelatedI am developing an application in VB.NET that is using a sql database. I am trying to start testing with multiple computers running the app while the database is on a remote computer. I have 2 desktop computers networked right now with 1 of them having the database and the other I want to run the program on. I am trying to figure out how to use windows authentication to login to sql server from the remote computer. I can login using Sql authentication but it is taking forever and I keep getting timeout errors so I wanted to try Windows Authentication to see if it is faster. If someone could walk me through the steps I need to take or give me some suggestions to fix my problems I would greatly appreciate it.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have SQL Server 2005 on a DEV box and I have a linked server on that box.
It has several logins that I would like to move over to our production server when I re-create the linked server.
Now I can export the script to create that linked server, but when I do so it doesn't provide me with the user's login password.
Is there a way to export the password as part of the script so I can move the linked server AND all the users associated to it over to a new server?
Sometimes a user name will change in Active Directory and I have to change the name in SQL Server as well. So what I do is first delete the old user name from SQL Server's logins. However I wont be able to see the new user name in SQL Server to add it as a legit user until I roboot the server. Is there somekind of code I can execute to resynchronize with Active Directory again?

We want to merge 2 SQL servers into one. This means we will have duplicate logins with differing passwords.
We want to reset all the passwords on one server to something memorable. Does anyone have a script that cursor through (or trans - I'm not shy) all the logins in a mster db? I really don't fance going through hundreds of logins changing their passwords by hand!
I€™m using express edition of SQL server 2005. 9.00.1399.06 (Intel X86)
I need to transfer all SQL logins and passwords from one server to another.
The script at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/246133 (designed for sqlserver 7.0 and 2000) This script references a system table (master..syslogins) that may not exits in sqlserver 2005. I get the following error:
EXEC master..sp_help_revlogin
Msg 208, Level 16, State 1, Procedure sp_help_revlogin, Line 12
Invalid object name 'master..sysxlogins'.
Would SMO be something to try for transfering logins and passwords?

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.
I have created a site using VWDExpress and now that I’ve finished testing have moved it over to the server which runs SQLServer 2000. Part of the site requires login, so I created the membership using the ASP.net web configuration tool and when testing locally worked well.
Now though that I’ve copied the web site over, when I try to log in I get the error:
System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: 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: SQL Network Interfaces, error: 26 - Error Locating Server/Instance Specified
Obviously its some sort of configuration issue, but I don’t know what.
What do I have to change to make this work from a test machine to a live server?
Thanks
Hi,
This thread is a reformulation of a prior thread.
I created a login 'Network service' at server level in Management Studio express.I use windows authentification.Then i defined an user for my database which is associated to login 'Network service', because the application asp.net uses that account (IIS 6.0). This user received db_read and db_write roles.This works.Now i experimented a little bit and i removed from the logins at server level the login 'Network service'.Result: the application still works..Then i removed the Builtinusers login from the login list at server level.Result: i get the error: "login failed for Network service".I recreated then the login 'Network Service' at server level but not the Builtinusers login.Result: it works again.My conclusion is: one of the two logins must be in the list: Network Service or BuiltinusersIs this right?Why do i get that error when both logins are removed and not only when Network Service is removed?Thanks
Hi I took a Full Backup on Production Server and Restored the Same Database on Testing Server, i am able to see all the Tables Stored Procedure and View except Logins, i am not able to see any logins, there are total 650 Logins under the Database how can i see the logins and how to restore the logins, while i am trying to create any logins it is saying Error Occured login is already existing in the Database..

How to find the list of logins/users who do not have any permission (except default Public) access.
View 4 Replies View RelatedHow to get all logins & users with their password into other server while doing migration?
View 7 Replies View RelatedI am in the process of writing a generic PowerShell script (that executes T-SQL statements) to copy all or some databases from one SQL Server 2012 SP2 instance to a second instance that runs SQL Server 2012 SP2 or higher. The script is designed to be used on demand, and part of its execution will involve reconciling the logins between the source and destination instances.

Hi
How to transfer logins from 2000 to 2005?
Raj.
Presumably an easy question but every time I open a query file the SSMS requires me to login. Very frustrating. Cannot find a configuration option, properties attribute or other to turn this off. Can anyone adivse how I can set up SMSS to require a login at the beginning of the session and then not again for each saved query I open?
Thanks.
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.
