Failure Audit On Domain Controller Account
Sep 13, 2006
I have SQL 2005 installed in a virtual (ESX) environment with a separate DC. Every minute or so an event shows up in the Application Event Log that says:
Type: Failure Audit
User: dgtestdc1$
Computer: sql1
Source: MSSQLSERVER
Category: (4)
Event ID: 18456
Description:
Login failed for user 'dgtestdc1$'. [Client: <ip address>]
Data includes: SQL1 master
Any idea what is causing this and how to fix it?
Thanks,
Mindy

During install of SQL Server 2005, we can of course use a domain account or the built-in system account for running the services. I lean toward domain for obvious reaons but would like to know a +/- to each option and why I'd choose one over the other and what consequences or limitations one may encounter if I choose one over the other.

Novice wants to learn why it is not recommended to install sql 2005 express on to a 2003 domain controller. I have installed sql 2005 express on a 2003 domain controller and when I tried to run management studio it failed to run. there seems to be no problem with the engine, oh I also installed books online I wonder... can there be an issue with the books online and management studio I remember there were problems in the beta era. Now I am wondering if it's a good idea at all I feel like I have been left at train station with all my luggage, I have all this equipment... work stations, a server, printers and no resolution to my problem. most of all I want to learn why I shouldn't install sql on a domain controller... can someone please explain in detail.

Arnie I have sql express, 2003 R2 as a domain controller, a laptop I use as a remote connection to the server. What I want to accomplish is to connect to a website using the server as a branch headquarters type of connections. I was told to look into using sharepoint services. I noticed my server has this service. Can't I use sql in this type of senario. I want to be able to have content uploaded to the web site by verious employees then have that content scanned and cleaned if needed and made available for my server. And from there I would have what I need to continue my publishing the content.

I have a problem with OLAP running on a Server that is domain controller, the problems is that after the Server was promoted to Domain controller, all users are allowed to see all databases and cubes, I did the same test on another server and found same problem after upgrading to domain controller.
I already tried demoting the server as domain controller to member server, but did not work.
Anyone knows how to revert this thanks,
Ronnet :mad:

One last question ( for today)...
The recomindation to not install SQL express on a Domain Controller. Is there a specific technical reason or is it just the general don't use the DC has a Terminal server / sql server / application server line of thought?
The reason I ask is we have been using SQL 2000 on a W2k3 server configured as a DC as well as for Terminal Services. (yes I am aware of the security risks) but in a small network with 5 or less ft clients and 30 thin, I can't justify a seperate DC and App server.

I have 2 questions, the first one is more of a DC/AD issue, but I don't think there is a forum for that. But that question leads directly into my other question which involves SQL Server. I hope someone can give me some feedback.
We have a small network of about 12 users, and we are running SBS 2003 as our DC and Exchange server. We are going to start doing a lot of heavy lifting with data so we got another box to run Server 2003 Standard and SQL Server 2005 Standard. But now it's been suggested that we also install a second DC on the new SQL box. I am opposed because a DC should be on it's own box, and the SQL Server will need all of the available resources. I don't really think we need a second domain controller anyway, considering we have such a small office and good backups.
So my questions are: does anyone have an opinion as to whether or not we really need a second domain controller in our 12 person Small Business Server environment. I'm thinking there wouldn't be a whole lot of benefit. We certainly don't need it to share the load, and a SBS dc cannot give up it's FSMO roles so i don't see how a second dc would be able to properly serve as a failover should the first one go down.
My second question is: what kind of impact on the SQL Server would there be by installing a DC? I know it's not Microsoft recommended to have them on the same box.
Thanks,
-Rick

I want to install SQL Express 2K5 on a lightly used second Windows 2003 SP1 DC. I know about the warning not to do this type of install. However, the group is small and their budget does not allow for another server just for one application. With that being said, the error message I keep getting is "can't create local groups......" (I know that you do not have local groups with AD). So, is there a work around to this issue or can someone point me in the right direction as how to install on a domain controller? Thanks in advance for your time!!!

Hello everyone, I have searched the forum regarding this topic and have found numerous good threads about installing SQL Express on a DC. My question is, I am assuming that if installing SQL Express on a Domain Controller is not recommended, that installing the MSDE 2000 on a Domain Controller is not recommended either?
Thanks in advance to all replies!

Hi
I have a customer that was using Sql 2005 Express on a W2k3 server. They then decided to turn the server in to a second domain controller. When they did this Sql Express stopped working, I'm guess because the account the service was running as nolonger existed (Network Service account). Because of this they demoted it back to just a member server, but still the sql express service wouldn't start.
When I look at their server now I have noticed that the Sql2005$ accounts Sql express created during installation are all missing.
What I want to do now is set the Sql express setvice to use a domain account (using the SqlServer configuration manager), but I'm concerned that because the sql2005$ groups are missing things won't run as expected.
Should I be worried about these accounts?
What would happen when it becomes a domain controller anyway, won't these local account disappear and hence my new sqlexpress service account wouldn't have permission to the sql server data folders??
Thanks for your help

If my SQL Server authentication is windows integrated authentication, whenever my application makes a connection to SQL server does it contact the windows active directory domain controller to authenticate the windows user account? How does windows integrated authentication work in the background?

SQL Server 2005 SP2, installed as a default instance at the domain controller.
SSIS connection failed with the message
Failed to retrieve data for this request. (Microsoft.SqlServer.SmoEnum)
The RPC server is unavailable.
No firewalls, client and server in the same subnet, ping is ok.
I suspect the issue is similar to described here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/940232
I've given the user all the rights to DCOM MsDTSServer, but I cannot include him to the local "Distributed COM users" group because the domain controller doesn't have local group at all.
I have included the user into the "domain admins" group, after that user got a connection. But this is not good, you know what I mean. Does any other solution exists, without reinstallation SQL Server to another server or giving the administrator's rights to the user?
Thank you.

I am currently runinng Sql Server 2000 on a Windows 2003 domain controller. I cannot access my local sql server using windows authentication. All i receive is a cannot generate SSPI context error. I understand this is probably related to a security policy issue on the domain controller. Also Sqlserveragent service will not remain running and shutdowns immediately after it is started. This also produces an SSPI context error in the error log. If anyone can help with my configuartion of windows server 2003 such that sql server will recognize a valid sysadmin role for my domain admin account it would be greatly appreciated.

I've just got RS Enterprise Edition.
Installed it in a Test Server, ok.
Installed it in a DEV server, having some errors.
My DEV server is an "ALL in 1" server, which is also a Domian Controller.
While Test Server is not a DC.
The installation was succesful but when I open RS Manager thru the web, it gives me a ASP.NET error:
Access to the path "D:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQLReporting ServicesReportManagerin" is denied.
Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code.
Exception Details: System.UnauthorizedAccessException: Access to the path "D:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQLReporting ServicesReportManagerin" is denied.
ASP.NET is not authorized to access the requested resource. Consider granting access rights to the resource to the ASP.NET request identity. ASP.NET has a base process identity (typically {MACHINE}ASPNET on IIS 5 or Network Service on IIS 6) that is used if the application is not impersonating. If the application is impersonating via <identity impersonate="true"/>, the identity will be the anonymous user (typically IUSR_MACHINENAME) or the authenticated request user.
To grant ASP.NET write access to a file, right-click the file in Explorer, choose "Properties" and select the Security tab. Click "Add" to add the appropriate user or group. Highlight the ASP.NET account, and check the boxes for the desired access.
I tried doing everything I can possible think of from the error message advice, including adding rights to ASPNET user from ISS to that particular folder...no success.
What I'm suspecting is I can't install RS in a DC box. But I can't find this info anyway in the web.
Anyone can point me to the correct direction or any advice?

I have observed that a temporary loss of a domain controller can causeproblems creating new ado connections between a client machine runningado and a separate sql server machine that are members of the domain.I understand why this happens when creating connections with windowsauthentication. What is a mystery is that it also sometimes effectsnew connections that use "sql authentication". Below is a descriptionof my test scenario.a. Setup 3 machines.i. one domain controller machine. windows 2000 based. I have triedboth a regular domain setup and a domain setup in compatibility mode.ii. one sql server machine that is a member of the domain. windows2000.iii. one client machine running an ado test program that communicateswith the sql server machine. I have tried both 2000 and xp.b. Start your test ado program and create a connection.c. Fire a query.d. It should work.e. Unplug the network cord on the domain controller.f. Create a new connection and fire a new connection about a minute orso after.g. It should work. Apparently the client caches account informationfrom the domain controller for a certain amount of time. The timeseems to be shorter by default in xp than 2000.h. Wait 20 minutes or more.i. Create another new connection. You will notice a timeout error.If your using windows authentication the timeout will happen 100% ofthe time. That is to be expected. If your using sql authenticationthe timeout seems to happen about 50% of the time. I can't explain itother than some strange Microsoft bug. I speculate that it may besome bug with the way ado caches connections. Perhaps a previouslysetup windows authentication connection gets reused by a request for asql authentication connection. However I haven't been able to proveit.Any insight you can offer would be appreciated. I also have a testprogram you can use to reproduce this behavior if you are interested.Thanks,Frank

I am attempting to set up an always on cluster on VMware for testing. setting up everything through the Failover cluster is fine, the trouble comes when I try to set up the AlwaysOn availability group. Whenever I attempt to specify a network location I receive the following error: Operating System Error 1265(The system cannot contact a domain controller to service the authentication request..).
I looked up this error and most sites point towards a Windows 8 homegroup issue. Since this is a on a domain, I don't think it is relevant. I also added the service accounts from server A to Server B and visa versa. I even added the computer objects to its opposite partner..I have attempted to use "Join Only" and do a manual copy.

Hi there,BOL notes that in order for replication agents to run properly, theSQLServerAgent must run as a domain account which has privledges to loginto the other machines involved in replication (under "SecurityConsiderations" and elsewhere). This makes sense; however, I waswondering if there were any repercussions to using duplicate localaccounts to establish replication where a domain was not available.Anotherwords, create a local windows account "johndoe" on both machines(with the same password), grant that account access to SQL Server onboth machines, and then have SQL Server Agent run as "johndoe" on bothmachines. I do not feel this is an ideal solution but I havecircumstances under which I may not have a domain available; mypreliminary tests seem to work.Also, are there any similar considerations regarding the MSSQLSERVERservice, or can I always leave that as local system?Dave

I have a situation that I have discovered in our QA database that I need to resolve. When I looked at the Activity Monitor for our server, I discovered that a process is running under a domain user account for one of our .Net applications. The problem is that that domain user account has not been created as a SQL login account on the server. I am trying to figure out how someone can log in to the database server with a domain user account that has not been added to SQL Server as a login account.
Does anyone have any insight on this? I don't like the idea of someone being able to create domain account that can access the database without me granting them specific access.

Hi,
I'm a bit new to administering a SQL Server and this seems like a pretty basic question, but I'm not sure how to phrase it for the searches. So I apologize for seeking an indulgence...
I have SQL Server 2005 Standard edition running on a server exposed to the Internet. A handful of clients have to connect to it via TCP/IP using SQL Server Studio and ODBC links. But my windows logs are chok-full of failure audits of what I presume to be your garden variety crackers trying default passwords -- several times a minute.
What's the best solution to this, and how would I go about implementing it? Restrict TCP/IP access to certain IP ranges? Is there a 'max login attempts' somewhere? The server uses SQL authentication (not windows) if that makes a difference.
Thanks for the help!

We occasionally get the error Login Failure for 'Admin' (client: then IP address). The SQL 2005 server is set up to use windows authentication and no one uses an account called Admin. The people here use their windows logon to access the database. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Hi
Doing webforms in ASP.NET and i have a connection string in the webconfig that connects to a locally created SQL Server user account.
This is fine however when i try to connect to a domain account created by the IT administrator for me, it wont work.
The User name and password he supplied are correct as i logged into my PC (Win 2000) using it to test it. However when i try to connect to this remote network domain account by changing my connection string it fails... anyone any ideas, or am i missing a subtlety of ASP.NET and SQL connectionstrings?
Heres the connection string that works...
ConnectionString = value="Server=MY-SERVER;Network Library=DBMSSOCN;Initial Catalog=MYDATABASE2;User ID=MrLocalUser;Password=password;"
Heres the connection string that fails...
ConnectionString = value="Server=MY-SERVER;Network Library=DBMSSOCN;Initial Catalog=MYDATABASE2;User ID=DOMAINMrDomainUser;Password=password;"

New to SQL Server. Plan to install SQL Server 2005 standard edition on Windows 2k3. After searched a lot of places, still don't understand what exactly "domain user account" is. Could someone explain it to me?
1. Is this a OS account where SQL Server is running?
2. Or, is this an account under domain controller on other machine? Is this an account on DNS srver? How do I create it?
3. Or, is this an account in SQL Server?
Where is this account located? How do I manage it?
TIA.
