I have created a Linked Server to an Access DB on a Novell 6.5 server. The Windows 2003 server with SQL 2005 Server on it is logged in as a Novell user with appropriote rights to the folder where the mdb is stored. The mdb is unsecured.
EXEC sp_addlinkedserver
@server = 'JetShowData',
@provider = 'Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0',
@srvproduct = 'OLE DB Provider for Jet',
@datasrc = 'k:groupssalesshowfiles2007 Show.mdb'
I have successfully created the link and queried the mdb while logged into SQL as Administrator using Windows Autentication. I have set up permissions for another SQL user account (I think) to use the linked server? I have added the linked server login as folllows:
This should allow any user to access the linked server. I did try adding a login for a specific SQL user account (sp_addlinkedsrvlogin 'JetShowData', false, 'cbonallo', 'Admin', NULL) but that did not make any difference.
The error I am getting when I try to either test the connection or run a query is the same one I was getting when I had the MSSQLSERVER service running under a local account( I had to change is so that SQLSERVER had network access rights):

------------------------------

This Access db does not have a workgroup file becasue it is unsecured. This error is being reported incorrectly since it is the exact same one when SQL did not have permissions to access the network. I also tried it from another Windows Autenticated user account and got this message:

I'm thinking I need to somehow I need to give the user account network access rights, too?? Or some other permissions? Any help will be greatly appreciated!!
set up asp .net user account on sql server 2005Question:
I've read the instructions in this article: http://www.netomatix.com/Development/aspnetuserpermissions.aspxBut do not know how to do this:You can grant 'Network Service' or 'ASPNET' user accounts permissions to connect to database.Please provide example on how to do this, thanks!
Previously I was using SSRS to create a local website(native mode) for our domain users to access. I wonder whether it is possible to share the website to outside users(just like youtube, everyone can access it). Is there a possible way to achieve that?
Can I use Reporting Services 2005 in a workgroup to serve reports for a windows application which is distributed accross the network?
I've already tried but when the application on a client pc requested a report from the report server i got a message about not having enough permissions to see the report. The windows application was builded using VB .NET 2.0 and VS2005.
The report server instance is installed on a server 2003 enterprise along with the SQL Server 2005.
If this is possible how can set permisions or make my application to be able to requests and show reports?
Thanks a lot to anybody who takes the time to answer.
I have been looking at forums trying to resolve my problem and now my brain hurts. I really need help with this and no one seems to have a definitive answer.
When launch Reporting Services, the page is blank and the settings options are missing. Even though I am logged on to the server with a local admin account.
I have tried taking off annonymous access but when I do this I just get the page can not be displayed.
Also when connecting to ReportingServices through the Management Studio I get the following message:
The permissions granted to user 'servernameusername' are insufficient for performing this operation. (rsAccessDenied) (Report Services SOAP Proxy Source)
The permissions granted to user 'Servernameusername' are insufficient for performing this operation. (rsAccessDenied) (Report Services SOAP Proxy Source)
Any help on this would be much appreciated. I really need to get this sorted out.
We have a reporting server which was working fine. All of a sudden me ( admin) and the users who have content manager permissions donot see the properties tab on the web interface and I donot find the permissions tab. I also get "you are not authorized to access this page" error on systemsecurity page.
If I disable the allow anonymous access option from the directory security in IIS, me and the person with content manager permissions see the properties/permissions tab but users are getting 401 unauthorized error while accessing the reports ( some of them are configured as content managers).
Not sure what happend and what to do .... any help would be greatly appreciated.
I would like to know if it is resonable and acceptable to make reports created through SQL Server Reporting services available through our Public facing applications.
Also, what are the potential problems? Security? Impact on the SQL Server? Limit to specific types of reports?
If anyone has any info it would be greatly appreciated, I am a big fan of SQL Reporting but we are unsure if we are going to be able to use the reports on the Public side and we don't want two separate sets of reports (internal and Public).
We have a SQL 2012 SSRS instance. We need to modify the permissions on one of the reporting folders. I went to the Security setting of the folder, clicked "New role assignment", then entered a group name into the box and selected desired permission ("Browser" in this case).
However this always fails with the same error: "The user or group name 'BUILTINBUILTIN' is not recognized. (rsUnknownUserName)"
I always get the same error no matter if I enter user or group, domain or local. And it always says BUILTINBUILTIN. I've tried changing the SSRS service account to a domain account (it was a local one), but that didn't work.
User 'DMNServerBreanch' does not have required permissions. Verify that sufficient permissions have been granted and Windows User Account.Control (UAC) restrictions have been addressed.
I have a simple SSIS package that reads a flat file and copies it into a SQL Server table.
When the flat fiel is on the C drive I have no problem runnign this package from SQL Server Agent, but as soon as I update the path to a network location the package only works when I run it manually, but fails when is executed via the SQL Server agent job.
The error says "cannot open the datafile", while the datafile location is valid.
Is this a kind of limitation of a SQL Server Agent that only local files are allowed to be processed?
We have a Windows 2003 Web Edition server serving a site through IIS. It connects to a Windows 2003 Standard Edition server running SQL 2000 SP3a.
This site receives the following error as seen in the topic: [DBNETLIB][ConnectionRead (recv()).]General network error. Check your network documentation.
We've configured the server network utility to only allow TCP/IP connections. The connection string for the site is as follows:
Any ideas or tips on solving this issue? We've noticed it is due to larger queries as smaller ones do work with no problems.
The servers are behind a BSD box running iptables, has 1433,1434 along with standard web ports wide open. Anything outbound is allowed.
Some further testing via ODBC on the IIS server improved things. No more connection pooling for the SQL Server driver allows for 1/3 of the query to run. Still 2/3s of it doesn't show up, and that general network error message appears.
Hi While running a DTS, many times the error message: "[DBNETLIB][ConnetionWrite (WrapperWrite()).]General network error. Check your network documentation." appears. Does somebody knows why?
I am running the DTS from a computer (not the server where the DTS is stored) and it is connected without any problem when this happens.
.NET Permissions Error in Reporting Services when not using a custom assembly: I need help resolving a permissions error I€™m taking in a SQL RS 2005 report. I have a report that that is includes the following code fragment in Report Properties -> Code: Function rtf2text(ByVal rtf As String) As String Dim rtfcontrol As New System.Windows.Forms.RichTextBox Try rtfcontrol.Rtf = rtf Return rtfcontrol.Text Catch ex as Exception Return ex.Message End Try End Function I reference the .NET System.Windows.Forms DLL under Report Properties -> References -> References, Assembly Name (heading): System.Windows.Forms, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089 I have a text box with the following expression: =code.rtf2text(First(Fields!EndingQuoteComment.Value, "QuoteHeader")) And I€™ve verified, by removing the code.rtf2text command that is populated with the following: { tf1ansiansicpg1252deff0deflang1033{fonttbl{f0fromanfprq2fcharset0 Times New Roman;}{f1fnilfcharset0 Arial;}} viewkind4uc1pardif0fs32 ** Ending Quote Comments **par 0i0f1fs17par } When I run the preview in Visual Studio is correctly strips the RTF and displays just €œ** Ending Quote Comments **€?.

I finally put together a Win 2003 box with SQL 2005, IIS, and RS 2005 running on it in a virtual machine to be 100% sure I had a standard clean install and deployed the report and I€™m getting the same error. Below I€™ve included a basic standalone RDL file that demonstrates my issue. I get the error referenced above when I deploy the RDL below. Any ideas or suggestions are greatly appreciated?

Using SQL Server 2k5 sp1, Is there a way to deny users access to a specific column in a table and deny that same column to all stored procedures and views that use that column? I have a password field in a database in which I do not want anyone to have select permissions on (except one user). I denied access in the table itself, however the views still allow for the user to select that password. I know I can go through and set this on a view by view basis, but I am looking for something a little more global.

I have problems using SQL Profiler from a Windows2000 client PC to an SQL 7 server which is on a Windows NT machine. I can use profiler o.k. from an NT client (using Named Pipes), but can't seem to get it to work on my Windows2000 PC. I tried changing the Default Network Library on my PC to use TCP/IP, but it still does not work. The server has a default of Named Pipes. Can I get the server to use either Named Pipes or TCP/IP depending on whether the client communicating is an NT or Windows2000 PC? Or is this not the problem? Is there a problem with Windows2000 and Named Pipes?
