Lost Logins Info After Attach Database To A New Machine
Mar 6, 2000
I use detach/attach method to move database to a new SQL Server 7 on MSCS. The security information was lost in the new server. Database Access permission was gone and I failed to select it again because message showed the database role is already exist. The default databases were also posted incorrectly. Would you please to tell me how to fix this type of peoblem or let me know how to move the login info such as login id, password, database permisson to the new server which locates in a different machine.
Thank you very much.

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

We have a hardware problem and will be getting a new RAID HDD system.
I've asked the tech onsite to backup and detach the MSDB and then reattach.
Can this be done, I expect to have him detach the new MSDB when MSSQL is re-installed. Then replace that file with the previously detached version and run reattach from QA(?)
Will this work.
TIA

I have the master and msdb backup files of a broken server, as well as the .bak files of all other non system databases.
Now, in an online sql server, how do I retrieve the logins information from those .bak files?

I need to move a DB that's on a SQL 7.0 box to a SQL 2000 box for consolidation. I cannot upgrade the 7.0 box to 2000 at this time. I tried reattaching it on the 2000 box and it gave me some errors about versions mismatched. Would DTS be the best way to pull it over? If not, what's the recommended operation?

A database move was accomplished by detaching the database from the legacy server and attaching it to the new server. The servers ran NT 4, SP6a, SQL 7 SP2. The new server had the same name and IP as the old server.
However that process (detach attach) does not bring over the users (who had access to the database on the legacy systems) correctly.
Under databases, roles the users existed. Under security, logins they did not.
We were obliged to drop the roles and recreate the logins and assign new roles. In the case of an NT user group we were unable to drop it. We had to create a new one and add the users to that group under User Manager.
So far I have not found anything that deals with the user account/role problem.
We have to move a similar database tonight. Do any of you know of an alternative "move" that brings the user roles/logins across correctly?
Thanks in advance.

I have done this many times in the past but now I am seeing a error when I try to move my db from my local machine to the server and try to re attach it. The error I am receiving is:
TITLE: Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio Express------------------------------ Failed to retrieve data for this request. (Microsoft.SqlServer.Express.SmoEnum) For help, click: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink?ProdName=Microsoft+SQL+Server&LinkId=20476 ------------------------------ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: An exception occurred while executing a Transact-SQL statement or batch.

------------------------------
When I right click the files and check their permissions I am noticing when its moved to the server it adds a few new ones and I can't make changes to them or anyting else. That is the only difference I am seeing from the ones I did earlier this week and now with the ones that are not working. I can't find anything in sql on what might cause this so any direction would be great.
ThanksRusty

I have a medical records system, SoapWare v4.90, that uses MSDE (SQL2000) databases. Due to the 2gb limitation, I am trying to migrate over to SQL 2005 (Standard or Express) which I have heard works fine. The SoapWare has a datamanager that allows me to log in to the MSDE instance, detach the SoapWare databases from msde (as well as do backups, etc) which I can confirm are detached.
Then I log back into a SQL2005 database instance using the datamanager and try to attach the database. This is what their pictured instructions demonstrate. However, I get the following error:
Database 'sw_charts' cannot be upgraded because it is read-only or has read-only files. Make the database or files writeable, and rerun recovery.
Of course, some of the entries will be read only, since doctors have to sign off the charts and are not allowed to subsequently change them. But I should still be able to switch over to sql 2005?!?!?!?
Or... is there a way to attach the databases to SQLExpress manually?
Help pls?

I really hope someone has an idea or two that they'd like to share. Here's the deal...I have a customer who has SQL 7 running on an NT 4 server. Under normal circumstances, our client software connects to a DB running on that server. They recently had to reboot the server and now all of the clients on the network can no longer connect to our database...they get an error message similar to this:
Error -2147467259: SQL Server does not exist or access denied.
Additional Info:
When logging into the server, the service manager shows a "green arrow" in the system tray so I'm assuming SQL is running.
They are running some form of replication to another identical server.
They recently had to replace some network equipment on that segment, but everyone can still ping the server by name and IP. Also, they can access the virtual website on that machine's IIS.
Nobody knows the SA password.
As a test, I tried logging in using one of our software's "internal" login/passwords, but still could not login.
As a test, I tried to create a DSN to connect to SQL using the "guest" account (which should exist) but the wizard wouldn't get past the screen where you provide the authentication info.
Anybody have any advice for me/us?

I cann't really find the statement for attaching aspnetdb.mdf. I don't where to find it. Is there any other web.config file in the C drive? Thanks for help!

My question has to do with the ability to recover a suspect database in the event that the transaction log device file becomes corrupt or is deleted.
Specifically, consider the case where a user database has it's data device on one hard disk and the log device file on a 2nd hard disk. The database is set to truncate log on checkpoint.
If the disk fails on which the log device file resides, the user database will be marked as suspect. Assume this disk is replaced and rebuilt from a tape backup, including the log device file (which was backed up to tape during off hours.)
Will SQL Server have any problems with this? Will database recovery have any problems with this (assuming the restored transaction log was empty)? Any other issues?
Thanks in advance!

Hello
I am creating a TABLE
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[TbTest](
[id_TbTest] [int] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED ,
[Title] [varchar](100) NULL,
) ON [PRIMARY]
when looking at the Column Properties in MS Server Management Studio I get :
Identity Specification = Yes
(Is Identity) = Yes
Increment = 1
Seed = 1
now if I want to make a copy of that database, importing datas and tables
I get :
Identity Specification = No
(Is Identity) = No
How can I avoid this problem ? my application is not working anymore
ALTER TABLE [dbo].[TbTest] WITH NOCHECK ADD
CONSTRAINT [PK_TbTest] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED
(
[id_TbTest]
) ON [PRIMARY]
is not solving that problem
thank you

Greetings, I have just arrived back into the country (NZ) and back into ASP.NET.
I am having trouble with the following:An attempt to attach an auto-named database for file (file location).../Database.mdf failed. A database with the same name exists, or specified file cannot be opened, or it is located on UNC share.
It has only begun since i decided i wanted to use IIS, I realise VWD comes with its own localhost, but since it is only temporary, i wanted a permanent shortcut on my desktop to link to my intranet page.
Anyone have any ideas why i am getting the above error? have searched many places on the internet and not getting any closer.
Cheers ~ J

If I detach a database on a server, then attach the database with asingle file only using the data file...will I lose any transactionsthat were in the original log file? There is a debate going on here atwork where some people think that during the detach, transactions inthe log file are saved to the data file.Thanks!

I used a DTS package to import data from one database to a new database (different servers) and it seemed to work fine with the exception that it lost all the passwords. I got one error telling me that for security reasons, it left all passwords NULL. Sure enough - they are now all blank.
Ideas - any good articles with quick fixes ???
Thanks a bunch - I am just getting into a lot of unusual problems this week.

Hi.
I've following problem:
- Customer played with his logical drives in a CPQ smart array
- He played too much: he lost the drive with the LDF-File
- Now the SQL-Server is in a kind of wired mode; you can
start and stop it, but you cannot connect to (neiter 'sa' nor
any other user available before)
In fact the mode is not wired: what shall he do other when
most important file is missing... :o
- The problem for me now is:
> How can I get the Enterprise Manager or Query Analyzer
up and running again to start a restore?
PS: The restore is to be done from a tape-library running
Veritas Backup Exec + SQL-Agent
PPS: Error-log says (what I already know):
2005-10-04 17:18:02.69 spid11 Device activation error. The physical file name 'H:DEVLOG1DEVLOG1.ldf' may be incorrect.
Thanks in advance for assistance.

I've created a database inside my ASP.net project, the database is in the App_Data folder as exepcted.I can't run the aspnet_regsql until I have attached it using SQL Server Management Studio, but when I try to attach the database it doesn't let me navigate through my folders properly. The database is in C:UsersWardieDocumentsFirstProjectApp_Data but SQL SMS only lets me navigate to the folder C:UsersWardie and no further for some reason, meaning I can't attach the database and can't use the aspnet_regsql service to create the membership tables.Does anyone know how to fix this?

I want to attach a database that one of the developers had detach it. The LDF file was deleted after detach.
I tried to attach and rebuild the log file in SQL2005 using the following:
USE [master]
GO
CREATE DATABASE [Test] ON
(FILENAME = N'G:MSSQLDataTest.mdf')
FOR ATTACH_REBUILD_LOG
GO
I get the following error:
File activation failure. The physical file name "D:MSSQLDATATest_log.LDF" may be incorrect.
The log cannot be rebuilt because the database was not cleanly shut down.
Msg 1813, Level 16, State 2, Line 1
Could not open new database 'Test'. CREATE DATABASE is aborted.
What should I do?
Thanks,
Canada DBA

Hi,
I have a database that I developed using both Toad for SQL and SQL Server Managment Studio.
All was working fine. I could connect to the database with one of the above and also run two an applications I developed (one in C# and One in VB.NET using VS Express) using the standard SQLConnection class.
the following connection string worked fine...
Server="(local)"; Trusted_Connection="yes"; Database="CDEvolution";
Now, for one reason or another I decided to create a new data source in my Visual Studio project and pointed it to the database fine.
At first it seemed ok as I could see all tables from teh database. However somethign strage has happened. I now can't access the database in TOAD or SQL Server Managment Studio. I also couldn't connect using the above string.
I finally managed to get the two appllications I developed to access database using the following connection string...
Data Source=.SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename=C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQLDataCDEvolution.mdf;Integrated Security=True;Connect Timeout=6000;User Instance=True;
and the applications work fine, however I can access the database using the DB tools.
In SQL Server Managment Studio I remove the database and tried to attach it again but I keep getting the following error message...Could not find row in sysindexes for database ID 5, object ID 1, index ID 1. Run DBCC CHECKTABLE on sysindexes.
Could not open new database 'C:PROGRAM FILESMICROSOFT SQL SERVERMSSQLDATACDEVOLUTION.MDF'. CREATE DATABASE is aborted. (.Net SqlClient Data Provider)
Any ideas on how I can get access back?
Cheers in advance,
Kevin

Hi,
We are trying to attach a Database from SQL7 to SQL2K SP3.
On SQL7
The Database was detached and the MDF copied to the New Server.
On SQL2K
We used the attach Db (in Enterprise Manager).
We get a red 'x' as normal against the logfile and noramlly it would create a new one when u proceed, but this time we are getting an error after the dialogue box asking to create a new one:
Error 1813: Could not open new database 'dbname'. CREATE DATABASE is aborted.
Device activation error. The physical file name 'd:mssql7datadbname.ldf' maybe incorrect.
The path is where the logfile resided on the old server.
Regards
John.

Can anyone help me to recreate the .NDF file if it was lost and not restorable? I have a stored procedure written that will then help me rebuild all indexes on all tables, but I can't seem to figure out how to create the index file again so I can run it. I have tried index files from other databases to no avail. There is no backup to go to.
