Recovery :: SSMS Won't Show Bak Files Or Even Folders Using Enterprise Admin Account?
Oct 16, 2015
I'm working on a newly installed windows 2012 R2 server which has SQL Server 2012 and SSMS installed on it. What has been odd is that when I open the "restore database" dialog, in the "Select Backup Devices", "Locate Backup File" dialog, only the immediate folders off of the root of the E: drive are visible. E: is where sql server data and backup files are stored.
The account I am logged in with is supposed to have Enterprise Admin rights. How is can I not see these folders and files? The files are certainly there and are visible to me on that login with windows explorer. I am able to backup via SSMS without issue.
When I look at the folder's permissions everything seems normal. If I add "Everyone" to that folder's permissions the folders and files become visible. The SQL Server service is running on the NT ServiceMSSQLSERVER account, which is normal for my other installations of sql server.

I recently enabled log shipping on our production database, and I had initially accepted the default of 72 hours to delete copied logs. Well, i am running out of space quick, and I need to edit it to something like 6 hours.
When I try to disable log shipping in order to recreate it, or if I try to edit the secondary server settings when I am logged in as SA, or my windows account which has the sysadmin role assigned, I get an error that says:
Only members of the sysadmin fixed server role can perform this operation. Error 21089.
I've restarted the sql service, disabled and enabled the permission on my account, but for the life of me, i cannot get this to work!

I am trying to create a job that would backup a DB dynamically to a different folder based on the week day. So if it's Saturday, backup to folder Saturday.
I have this
DECLARE @BackupLoc nvarchar (100)
DECLARE @DayOfWeek nvarchar (100)
set @BackupLoc = N'D:Backup'
set @DayOfWeek = (SELECT DATENAME(dw,GETDATE()))
set @BackupLoc = @backuploc + @DayOfWeek
[Code] ....
But it's giving me permission errors, although the AGENT and MSSQL service accounts are members of the local admins group.

I have a situation from where I need to loop through different folders and files in these folders. After processing these files, I need to archive these folders to different location.
e.g., C:MainFolderMar01 ==> Multiple files in Mar01 folder
C:MainFolderMar02 ==> Multiple files in Mar02 folder
Does any one know the best way to do this in SSIS?
Thanks in advance.

After installing SSMS on some computers - the only way we can get SSMS to run correctly is to run it as the administrator. Is there a way where you don't have to do that? These end users are logging as themselves and have accounts in SQL Server all set up - but SSMS will only launch for them if we right click and select "run as administrator".After doing some digging - it seems that this is a common problem out there.

I have a weird intermittent issue with an enterprise version of SS2014. When clicking or right clicking around SSMS will lock up and display the 'SSMS is busy - waiting for an internal operation to complete'. It is only specific to the server as when I connect using my local SSMS this doesn't happen. This was happening both pre and post SP1 install.

I proposed on a new server that we separate Data Files, Log Files, tempDB, Backups, etc. onto separate LUNS on a SAN with High Speed Solid State Drives.I was told that with the new technology with solid state SAN's that it would decrease performance and that it did not work the same way as it did when you had RAID 5's etc.I thought that if things were cared out correctly by a SAN Administrator they would know how to configure for optimal performance.

I have a bit of problem I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction. I have a SQL Server
2005 database which leverages both the Membership and Roles APIs. When I recreate
the database for production release, I simply run an sql file using the sqlcmd
utility - no problem. What I need is a way to add a default administrator role,
account and assign this new administrator to the administrator role.Can someone advise on how this is typically handled?

I'm using ssms 2014, but got the same problem with 2012. I use ssms almost entirely on remote desktop sessions ( Windows 7, Server 2008R2, Server 2012 ). It may be related to having filtered job activity monitor windows open for hours, but about once per day ssms fails, and has to restart. Upon resuming usually only one of several queries is restored.

What permission is required to run debug feature in SSMS(debug Stored Procedures). This is a development machine and developer requested for this.
EXECUTE permission was denied on the object 'sp_enable_sql_debug', database 'mssqlsystemresource', schema 'sys'.
EXECUTE permission was denied on object 'sp_sql_debug', database 'master'.
Is there any option other than giving sysadmin privilege on SQL?

If someone can tell if it is wise change the SA account password after all of your databases have been set up using NT Authentication for login. Also, by using the sa password at login are you providing more security and and who should have access to that password (Your developers or your Administrators?)

I have the following setup:
- An MSSQL 2014 Standard server that houses multiple small databases (in excess of a hundred).
- These databases are frequently dropped and restored by an application that uses this SQL Server.
- There is a business need for this setup at this time, so I can't get away from it. Therefore answers like "don't have so many small databases that are frequently dropped and restored" would be somewhat unuseful
This is the problem I have:
- When I connect SSMS 2014 to the server and expand the "Databases" node, it takes forever to display. In comparison, SSMS 2008 connected to SQL 2008R2 server with the same number of databases displays the Databases tree very quickly.
I ran a trace to see what exactly SSMS 2014 is doing. When the "Databases" node is expanded, it runs a query that checks each database for Memory-Optimized Tables (new and wonderful feature of SQL 2014 for sure, but I'm not using it, at least yet). Naturally, when you have to loop through over a hundred DBs, it takes time. Worse yet, if one of these DBs is in process of being restored, the query sits and waits to time out before proceeding to the next DB. Sometimes this causes outright timeouts. Here is the query:
use [MyDatabase]
SELECT
ISNULL((select top 1 1 from sys.filegroups FG where FG.[type] = 'FX'), 0) AS [HasMemoryOptimizedObjects]
To be sure, this is NOT a SQL Server performance issue. This server processes a rather heavy workload and has been doing so for over a month, and the workload completes within expected time limits or better. Even so I've done some basic performance measuring, and the server itself is quite all right.
Moreover, if I connect SSMS 2008 to it, I get an error message (Index out of bounds or somesuch), but SSMS 2008 does connect, and displays the Databases tree much faster than SSMS 2014.
I'd like to turn off the option to check for Memory Optimized Objects altogether, as I'm not using the feature.

I'm using sp_OACreate in a scalar function to create a folder if it doesn't exist, and it works fine if you're asking it to create a single folder. For instance: C:Newfolder
It creates "Newfolder"
However, if I try to ask it to create C:NewfolderNewsubfolder
It doesn't work
Here's the code:
DECLARE @Exists int, @ObjFile int, @ObjFileSystem int, @Folder nvarchar(500) = 'C:',
@Action tinyint = 1 --(0 to check if folder exists, 1 to actually create it)
EXEC dbo.sp_OACreate 'Scripting.FileSystemObject', @ObjFileSystem OUT
EXEC dbo.sp_OAMethod @ObjFileSystem, 'FolderExists', @Exists OUT, @Folder
[Code] .....

Am trying to run SQL Server Agent with a service account which is not in the Administrators group. Have done the following -
1. Removed the service account from the Administrators group on the machine
2. Assigned sysadmin privileges to the service account
3. Added it to the SQLServer2005SQLAgentUser$ComputerName$MSSQLSERVER role
4. Through SQL Configuration Manager assigned this account to the SQL Server Agent service
However, this does not start the Agent as a service. What is it that is missing?

Re: SQL Server 2005
Does the xp_cmdshell proxy account need admin-level permissions on the server?
The reason I ask this is because I keep getting "Access is Denied" errors when trying to run this command as a non-admin:
master..xp_cmdshell dtexec 'some package'
The 'some package' has an "execute process task" which calls a batch file on the server.
If the proxy account is NOT a local admin, the "execute process tasks" fails with an "Access is Denied" error.
If the proxy account is a local admin, it executes fine.
We have given "Everyone" FULL CONTROL of all the folders that are affected by the batch file, and it still does not work.
I am out of ideas at this point. It just does not work unless it's an admin.
Are we missing something here?

If you were to do a fresh install it would set permissions on the disk so everything just works.
Now when changing the service account (e.g. to a domain user) use the configuration manager, does it do the same magic (possibly sans if the database data/log files are on another disk)? Or do you need to trawl through the dozens of folders and assign rights manually?

I have a windows 8 pc that I just got and installed sqlexpress 2014. My buddy haw windows 7 and installed sqlexpress on his pc. We create a db on his pc, did a backup, copied the backup to my pc. In ssms I right click on "database" > restore database. click device and the button to find my file. I navigate to the folder where the file shows in file explorer but the .bak file does not show in ssms to restore from. This is probably a windows thing but I have don't know what to look at.

My recommendation to my manager is to base recovery on .bak and .trn files. However the .mdf and .ldf files can be backed up without being detached and I am wondering about the value of these file backups. He has set up backups to external drive of the .mdf and .ldf but not of the .bak and .trn files that I have set up. His recovery strategy is based on complete backup of the machine and bare metal recovery. I am finding it hard to defend my preference for going about recovery with a new SQL Server installation, then restoring .bak files. Has tried recovery from .mdf and .ldf? Please note that all the database files (system and user) are on a single drive, I think this was set up to allow the machine to be clustered. We are intending to do a test rebuild of the machine from his backups.

Since upgrading from SQL Server Management Studio 2008 R2, I've noticed that it no longer autosaves queries that have not been manually saved first. If a file has been manually saved the autorecover files end up in the following directory:
%appdata%MicrosoftSQL Server Management Studio11.0AutoRecoverDatSolution1
However, I have ended up in the situation where I have unsaved queries when my computer has crashed and have not been able to recover them.
I have also found references to .sql files stored in temp files in the following directory, but the files here seem to be very haphazardly caught:
%userprofile%AppDataLocalTemp

Hi there -
I am trying to look at TEMPDB properties in Enterprise Manager but it just hangs forever. I can look at props for all other databases on that server OK. The server is working OK but users reporting performance problems.
Also, how to increase the size of TEMPDB in T-SQL - I can see it is approx 200MB plus 300MB for the transaction log at the moment.
(Microsoft Windows 2003 Std Edition SP1, SQL Server 2000 Std Edition SP3)
Thanks for helping,
Michael
