I am using the Management Sudio Express and after I changed my domain password, I lost all of my SQL Server registrations.
I remember this was an old problem with SQL 2000 until a SP fixed it.
Any ideas?

I have a root domain and child domain.
After using ADMT to migrate the domain user or group into the root domain, when I use enterprise manager to try and change the permissions allocated to that domain user/group, i get the 'Error 15401 NT user or Group not found'.
This is a correct error as the user is now in the root domain, however sql (in sysxlogins) still thinks its in the child domain.
Is there a simpler way, other than collecting the users permissions, deleting the user from SQL then adding back in with the correct domainusername format, then adding the permissions back?
I tried renaming the 'name' in sysxlogins (not recommended) and while that worked, whenever I tried to add the migrated user to another database, the login name was missing and would not resolve.
I believe it is something to do with the SID not matching.
Any ideas on how to fix this ?
Within our Exchange Environment we use Blackberry. Our Blackberry Server is using SQL Server 2005 Express. We're migrating from Exch 5.5 to Exch 2003 (new server for 2003). Now the new Exch Server is in our new Active Directory Domain to which is not named the same as our NT Domain for obvious reasons.
Anyway, after I decomission the 5.5 Exch Server, I want to rename the Blackberry Server and move it to the new domain.
Will SQL Server 2005 Express squak at me for doing this??
Thanks All

Hi everyone, We currently have a server running SQL server 2000 and 2005 instances on our domain. The servers are used for a couple of different applications. Our network manager is implementing a domain change in the next few months, but isn't familiar with SQL servers. I was wondering if anyone knew about any possible issues with changing the domain the database server machine is connected to. The computer name won't change, and neither will the server instances. Many thanks in advance for any ideas / help on this

Hi folks,
For the past couple of days, I have been trying to get my SQL Server to work with Distributed Views. I am created linked servers, linked server logins, set XACT Abort ON.
I am successful in running a select against the distributed view, but was unable to run an "INSERT"
When I try a simple insert, the query took 3:14 minutes. Then I get an error message like:
Server: Msg 7391, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
The operation could not be performed because the OLE DB provider 'SQLOLEDB' was unable to begin a distributed transaction.
[OLE/DB provider returned message: New transaction cannot enlist in the specified transaction coordinator. ]
OLE DB error trace [OLE/DB Provider 'SQLOLEDB' ITransactionJoin::JoinTransaction returned 0x8004d00a].
I have checked that MSDTC is running and configured under a domain account on both machines - running sQL 2000 and win2K
I have been unsuccessful still after tinkering for several days. I have checked my network configurations and noticed that when I try to ping the other machine by name, I don't get a response. I can only get a response to a ping when I enter the IP address directly.
Could this be a problem? Also, I noticed that for some strange reason, whenever I ping from either machine it is showing an external IP - always the same one no matter which computer name I try to ping. Something like 209.xxx.xxx.xxx instead of the 192.xxx.xxx.xxx that I expect.
Finally, I thought that problem was possibly due to incorrect Active Directory configuration. I tried to remove both machines from the domain by changing them to a workgroup "TEST" instead of the domain.
When I restarted the PC, I am unable to start SQL Server. It shows the Red Stop sign. When I try to start it, it gives an error like: Service could not start because one or more dependencies failed.
When I add the machine back to the domain, SQL server starts working on reboot.
Can anyone help me please.
Thanks.
Hello all,
My company took over a project that another company was building. The other company switched all the passwords for the system and the database right before they left. No one has the passwords to the system or the database. Is there a way I can dump the data, or re-mount the drives into a different machine and get the data? Or am I just screwed? I have physical access to the machine and I can do anything needed I just need this data asap!!
TIA

Hi All,
I have lost the system administrator password for my test server which contains
inf. which I cannot afford to loose. The SQL server documents state that if
the password is lost , then a SQL re-installation will have to be done.
Is anyone aware of a way to reset the password for SA without reinstalling the
SQL server.
Matter is most URGENT.
Regards
Vedanth
Hie,
do you know how can i find a lost user password with the sa connection.
What is the difference between the connection and the user ?
thanks a lot
View 2 Replies View RelatedHello,
I import a package into Integration Services (it containt 3 ole db connections to SQL Server), then I schedule this into a job.
When I run the job, it failed !
For the connections, I use a sql user and, in the step that run package, I notice that the password isn't store
I add password in the connection string ("Password=password;") and when I rerun the job, it terminate with success.
My question is: Is it possible to store the password directly into the package and so avoid password encoding several times ?

I need to retrieve the SA Password through MS SQL 2005. The reason why is I am trying to connect a number of computers in the same building for an Address Book to be shared by everyone. I will be using the program, Addressinator! to do this. But I need to have the SA password in order to connect the computers.
I am running Windows XP. I have read a few instructions on how to retrieve or make a new password on the net, but most of it doesn't make sense to me.
For Example, this is one that I found:
To reset the sa password, you can make the following:
1. Login to the SQL Server box as the Administrator.
2. Run SQL Server Enterprise Manager. (I don't have the Enterprise Manager)
3. Right-click the server name and choose 'Edit SQL Server Registration properties'. (I can't find the properties!)
4. Choose 'Use Windows authentication' and click OK button.
5. Expand a server, expand a Security and click Logins.
6. Double-click the sa login and specify new password on the General tab.
I hope someone can help me out with this.
Thanks!
I just started a new job and no one seems to know the SA password.Here's my plan to change it:1. I've run a trace for a couple of days to verify that there are nojobs or processes that are connecting as SA and that would break if Ichanged the password.2. Before the changing the password I am going to bulk copy out thesysxlogins row for SA so that if things go wrong I can reinset the olddata with the old unknown password (will that work?).3. Log on to the console as Windows administrator and changing the SApassword.Does that make sense? Anyone have any other suggestions?Thanks.

Hi to all!.
I tell you my problem...
I have an DB2 source and SQL destination. I have 2 ConnectionManager. One for DB2 (IBM DB2) and other for SQL. Both are of the OleDB type.
Well. I setup my connections and it work fine. Now i want to change my ConnectionManager for others sources or destinations. And I don't want to have to change the connection in more than forty packages.
For this, i have 2 XML configuration file in package configurations. One for connection. In this XML i have the connectionstring, user and password. These files are obtained in all the packages.
Well. If i change the connectionstring in this XML file configuration, only work fine the OLEDB for SQL. The conection for DB2 return the fail: "The AcquireConnection method call to the connection manager "_packagename_" failed with error code 0xC0202009."
I have proven to modify protectionLevel of the package to DontSaveSensitive. SQL work fine. DB2 fails. I have changed to EncryptSensitiveWithPassword. The same.
Why the packages obtain the data of connection of the configuration file for SQL and it does not work or with the configuration file for DB2.
This is bug?
Thanks to all!.
What issues will I encounter if I change the MSSQLSERVER password?
View 2 Replies View RelatedHi, I'm using the SQL Server Everywhere CTP on the desktop and haven't used SQL Server Mobile in the past.
I'm having some difficulty determining whether it's possible to change a SQL Server Everywhere database's password. Obviously authentication on a file-based SQL Server Everywhere database differs from that of server-based SQL Server database. Is it possible to change a SQL Server Everywhere database's password?
That said, I feel like I've made a decent search of the to change a SQL Server Everywhere books online. If it's not possible to change the password in place (i.e., without copying all data to a new file with a different password), please count this as a vote to add that functionality. Making a database password "permanent" lessens its effectiveness. Thanks,

Hello, I'm running an MS SQL 2005 database which supports our entire website and it's fairly huge. I seem to have lost the sa password for the database.
I COULD get it back if there was a way to convert the SQL 2005 DB to an SQL 2000 DB, seeing as how I found a password cracker for that version. Is there anyway to convert a 2005 DB back to a 2000 DB?
Does anyone have any other ideas they might want to lay on me?
I'm kind of sick about this... I'm usually a really good note-taker; In fact, I do have the sa password recorded in an IT database that I keep. Unfortunately the password just doesn't work. I've tried the caps lock and other variations, but the password just eludes me.
Thanks for your help,
Chris

A former Network Manager setup the Sql Server Services NT Domain account. I need the password to set it up on our MS Exchange server, should I change the password or create a new domain account.
How can I find out if there is no other applications using the service account in our domain, since the new Network manager doesn't know the password.
What happens if I change the password.
For no reason that I can see my SQL Server enterprise manager keeps losing all its SQL Server registrations. Enterprise Manager retains the top-level groups.
I am running enterprise manager on XP.
Help!
:confused:
Hi,
This is an infrequent problem but very annoying when it happens. Every so often, I go into Enterprise Manager only to find that all of my SQL server registrations have disappeared from the group and I have to add them all again. As it happens so infrequently I don't know if there's something I'm doing on my machine to make them all disappear.
Anyone got any ideas?
Thanks in advance,

Please Help!!
We have an application using SQLOLEDB connection to a SQL Server 2005 database. Per domain policy, the users are required to change their password every 60 days.
The accounts are established to 'Enforce password policy'.
When we try to execute the 'ALTER LOGIN' command to change the password, locks are being established and will not free the account without bouncing the instance.
After issuing the command, any interaction with the server using this UserID results in a "lock request time out" error 1222.
I have tried issuing this command using both the application and through SQLServer Mgmt Studio Express and the results are the same.
Any idea would be greatly appreciated.

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/.
After designing a SSIS package in Visual Studio 2005 that had two connection manager defined to keep the password. After I deployed the package to a file system. I then Imported the .dtsx file after making a Integration Services connection in Sql Server Management Studio. When I tried to run the package it failed when it tried to make the connection. When I edited the connection manager connection string and added the password and the package ran fine but it does not retain the password!. I need to have this package scheduled to run daily so I need to know how to have the package keep the password in the connection string. I have seen other posts on this issue but not seen a good solution. Could someone point me to the proper MSDN article that would explain how to implement this ? Is it a SQL Server configuration issue or a property in Visual Studio SSIS design time ?
thanks.

View 1 Replies View RelatedSQL 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.

I have a client who we are upgrading from ms sql 7 to 2000. At the same time we are doing this, we are moving off an old domain, and old servers.
When I try to use DTS to move the whole database, it fails becaue the users don't exist on the new domain ( ie.. olddomainjay is not a user. That user is now newdomainjay).
What can I do to migrate the databases and not the permissions?
