Hi
I need to move a couple of SQL logins to a new machine to support a
3rd party application. Problem is the password is embedded in the
application and we can't see how to change it. Does anyone have a
mechanism for moving a login to a new machine *without* knowing or
changing the password?
TIA

We have a "spanking new" machine to run SQL server and moving the databases over was absolutely no problem.
However, we discovered that we left the user ids and passwords behind.
Is there a way to get them copied from the old database to the new one?
When using the script to transfer logins and passwords from one server to another. After doing so... Does the logins and passwords still appear on the server transfering from??? I am doing a parallel install and need to keep the production database logins and passwords still intact. Thanks...
I did a detach on each database/logs.
Moved to the exact location on the new server.
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 2 Replies View RelatedI have a developer who created a DTS package using an NT authenticated ID. Now that we've migrated the SQL Server to another Domain in Active Directory, I am showing the following error for his jobs:
"The job failed. Unable to determine if the owner (DomainUSer) of job EmployeeDump has server access (reason: Could not obtain information about Windows NT group/user 'DomainUSer'. [SQLSTATE 42000] (Error 8198)).
When I went to check and see what the permissions problem might be, I noticed that all of my NT Authenticated ID are broken after migration - in other words, I can add the Active Directory NT ID's to the SQL Server instance, but I cannot give these ID's permissions to databases because it says they already exist??? I know if I have a sql login that is 'orphaned', I can use "sp_change_users_login" to fix it, but I think I read that this won't work for NT authenticated IDs.
IS there a way to fix this short of dropping ALL of my NT authenticated logins and recreating them????????
I'm changing servers and want to copy all the logins from the old server to the new server. Is there anyway to do this?

Also, regarding Windows Logins, do i have to worry about their SIDS when migrating to SQL 2005. I'm going to attach SQL 2000 db's onto a 2005SQL instance and these db's alreayd have the usernames assigned in them. Please let me know if there is a way out for the above two questions. thank you.

Hi everyone ,
i am trying to find logins which has blank password in SQL2000 . i wrote cursor to find these logins. But i cannot catch the logins.Beacuse sp_password sistem procedure does not return @@ERROR.
I can easily do it with SQL2005 (BEGIN -TRY -CATCH).
How can i catch sp_password error in SQL Server 2000??
or are there any suggestions to find these logins.
How can i find blank password logins in SQL2000???
sp_password '','','loginname'
select @@error ''' it is always ZERO
Declare @sql as varchar(255)
Declare @login as varchar(50)
Declare Cur_Login CURSOR scroll FOR
Select name from syslogins where isntuser=0
open Cur_Login
fetch next from Cur_Login INTO @Login
WHILE @@FETCH_STATUS = 0
begin
set @sql = 'sp_password '''','''',''@login'' '
set @sql = replace(@sql ,'@login',@login)
exec (@sql)
if @@ERROR <> 0
print 'Password is not blank'
fetch next from Cur_Login INTO @Login
end
close Cur_Login
deallocate Cur_Login
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
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
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.
I have connected to Database using my credentials by checking remember password option. After few days I forgot my password. How can I recover the password as SQL remember it. Is there any way to recover my password instead of resetting it.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a package protected by a password - I am already unhappy that to get it to use the configuration file to change connection strings for the production servers I have had to hardcode the password into the config file - very insecure!
However, the package now deploys correctly to the production server and will run from there OK, but NOT if scheduled as a SQL Server Agent Job. Thus is because however often I edit the command line to include the password after the DECRYPT switch (which it has prompted me for when I click on the command line tab), the Job Step will not retain it.
If I open it up after I have edited it and closed it, the password has disappeared.
I know that if I run dtexec plus the code in the Command Line tab (with the password), the package runs OK.
This is driving me insane!
I have read all the other posts and so I tried replacing the SSIS package step with a CmdExec step and pasting that code into there - then I get an OLEDB error..
The code I use is:
DTEXEC /SQL "ImportRateMonitoringTables" /SERVER servername /DECRYPT password /CONFIGFILE "D:Microsoft SQL ServerSSISDeploymentsRateMonitoringImportTasksDeploymentImportRateMonitoringTables_Production.dtsConfig" /MAXCONCURRENT " -1 " /CHECKPOINTING OFF /REPORTING E
and I get
SSIS Error Code DTS_E_OLEDBERROR. An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x8000FFFF
although the same code executes perfectly from a command prompt.
Please does anyone have any experience with a similar problem and if so, how did you get round it?
Thank you
I am receiving the following error message when attempting to create a new SQL Authenticated login id.
Password validation failed. The password does not meet the requirements of the password filter DLL. (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 15119)
I have four servers all running SQL Server 2005 SP2 on Windows 2003 Ent. SP1. Of the four servers, only one received the above error message using the same TSQL below.
CREATE LOGIN TEST_LOGIN WITH PASSWORD = 'pvif9dal' MUST_CHANGE, CHECK_EXPIRATION = ON
All four servers are in the same domain, which if I understand correctly, the password policies are therefore inherited at the OS level by the domain. The password being used is within the password policies of the domain.
Any ideas as to a root cause?
I tried to install an ALLDATA database which run with SQL Server 2005 express edition. The data base fails to install becase of the following code that come up which is related to AS password requirement. The error that come up is:

On the login prompt for Report Server, there is a checkbox option to "Remember my Password." I check this, login successfully... but when returning to the Report Server, I am again prompted for the password, although the user name is saved. No matter how many times I do this, the password will not save in IE7. I have tried this on 3 different computers with IE7. In IE 6, I do not even get the checkbox as an option, just the user name/password prompt. In Firefox, the password saves fine. Any ideas what would be causing this?
Thanks,
Brian
I put this together to export the user name /password to a csv file to test my SP to output the user name/password.
DECLARE @user_name varchar(50)
DECLARE @psswrd varchar(10)
SELECT @user_name ,@psswrd
FROM ngweb_bulk_enrollments
EXEC master.dbo.xp_cmdshell 'bcp NGDevl.dbo.ngweb_bulk_enrollments out C: est.csv -Sserver1 -T -t, -r
-c'
This works but I don't get the headers in the file. How can I include the headers?
I have an internal Project Management and Scheduling app that I wrote internally for my company. It was written to use MySQL running on a Debian server, but I am going to move it to SQL Server 2000 and integrate it with our Accounting software. The part I am having trouble with is the user login portion. I previously used this:
PHP Code:
$sql = "SELECT * FROM users WHERE username = "$username" AND user_password = password("$password")";
Apparently the password() function is not available when accessing SQL Server via ODBC. Is there an equivalent function I could use isntead so the passwords arent plaintext in the database? I only have 15 people using the system so a blank pwd reset wouldn't be too much trouble.
Help!!!!!!
I cannot get the SQL Server Upgrade Wizard to work!!
I have one machine with NT 4 (SP4) and SQL 6.5 and another machine with NT 4 (SP4) and SQL 7.0 (new install, never had SQL 6.5 one it). I want to upgrade a database to 7.0.
Each machine can 'see' the other via shares and even trying to register a SQL database in each other machines Enterprize manager (although that fails because they are different versions of SQL)
Using the Upgrade Wizard, on the third screen, where you specify the Server Name for the export server, it even has the other server's name in the dropdown list {I never even put it in}. And yet, after I set the export server name and put in the database SA account password and then put in the SA account password for the local server (the one that is running the Upgrade Wizard).
After I select next, I get a message that states...
'Unable to connect to Export Server. Please verify that you are an NT administrator on that machine.'
These are standalone servers. Not BDC's. I am logged into each machine as the administrator.
I have tried adjusting the SQL services to allow logging as the System Account and the administrator account and a whole bunch of options....
but I can't get it to work.
HELP!!! This shouldn't be this hard.... should it???
Does creating the tables first before copying the data from 6.5 to 7.0 is the best way to migrate from SQL 6.5 to 7.0?
Thanks in Advance!
I run SQL 6.5 on an NT 4.0 platform in a client/server environment with Windows 95 as the clients. I use VB 6.0 as my user interface with Access 97 utilizing DAO (yes, still DAO) for the ODBC connection to the SQL server. When I install SQL 7.0 and move my data to it, can I refresh my links in Access 97 from ODBC to OLE DB and automatically take advantage of the new connection, or do I have to rewrite my queries to take use OLE DB rather than DAO? Thanks for any suggestions and help.
View 2 Replies View RelatedHello People,
I currently have a MS Access database that will eventually be migrated to MS SQL Server. There won't be an application now, just the database and the reports. My doubts are on how easy this transition will be.
1 - After I build all the database with tables and relationships, is there a tool that helps me to import data?
2 - Is there a way to insert the data on the database other than writing the SQL codes, I mean maybe creating some 'forms'?
3 - Once the data is in, it there a way for me to create report on the SQL Server itself or do I need a report generator like Cristal Reports for example;
4 - If yes, then how easy it is to integrate them;
5 - Is it complicated to generate these reports or it is pretty much the same interface as in Access or Delphi?
Thanks a lot

I have an ms sql 2000 db which I am migrating from one shared environment to another. How specifcally can I do this?
I have a copy of enterprise but not a full version of SQL on my local desktop.
The hosting company from which I am moving has placed the db as a zip file on the root of my site via ftp. I have unzipped it and it appears as a backup copy (.bak).
I appreciate any detail steps, I assume via enterprise, that anyone can give me. Thank you.
I am very new to SQL so please bear with me. I have an SQL 2000 server running on Windows 2000 server in an NT4.0 Domain. We are planning to migrate (not upgrade!) everything to a new WIndows 2003 AD environment using ADMT. I wanted to know if there are any issues with the migration of an SQL server if we are to move forward with this strategy. I have heard that an SQL database keeps domain related information within its database and wanted to know if this is true.
Thank you

View 3 Replies View RelatedI need to copy 80 logins within the same SQL Server (7.0 SP1) from 80 "old" logins that I'll delete later.

Hi,
I have two servers (server1, server2). I was trying to access the data from server1 to server2. I linked the servers and set up the option for data access.
when I run the following command from server1: sp_remoteoption 'server2', 'sa', 'sa', TRUSTED, TRUE
It gives me the following error. How to handle this.
Server: Msg 15185, Level 16, State 1, Line 0
There is no remote user 'sa' mapped to local user 'sa' from the remote server 'server2'.
I appreciate your help.
Thank you.

I have a server that was recently upgraded from SQL 6.5 to 7.0 that contains almost 700 logins using standard security. Is there a limit to the number of logins that SQL will host? The logins/users have all been added using a GUI within an application and does not support NT authentication. Does this cause any known problems in SQL 7? When I right click on the database and go to properties / permissions MMC gets hung up. Also one of the systems analysts is convinced that SQL is dropping permissions (I disagree to this). Any one have any thoughts or experience with large numbers of logins / users?
Linda
Does anyone know of any 3rd party software applications that will make users change their SQL
logins every 3 months?
Thanks,
Heather
Hi!
How can I copy all logins from one SQL server 6.5 to
another one.
