Removing Service Account From SQLServer2005MSSQLUser Causes Decryption Error
May 2, 2007
I am attempting to implement tighter security on my instances of SQL Server 2005. One of my tasks is to make sure that the service account for the SQL Server service has the minimum privileges necessary to run the service. I thought I had everything configured correctly, but then I realized that the "SQLServer2005MSSQLUser" Windows group was a member of the "sysadmin" fixed server role. I do not want the service account to be a sysadmin, so I removed the service account from this group.
Everything seemed to be working, until I received a call from one of our developers. He was attempting to execute a stored procedure, and he kept getting the following error: "An error occurred during decryption".
I looked up the error, and found out it is related to the service master key. I am using the same service account that I did when I installed SQL Server, so I am baffled as to why I am receiving this error. The error was resolved when I added the service account back to the "SQLServer2005MSSQLUser" Windows group and restarted the SQL Server service.
Do have any idea what might be happening here?

I am attempting to configure my SQL Server instance to use a service account with the minimum privileges. I thought I had everything configured correctly, when I realized that having the service account as a member of the "SQLServer2005MSSQLUser" Windows Group meant that the service account was now in the "sysadmin" fixed server role. This was not the configuration I wanted.
I went through the Books Online article "Setting Up Windows Service Accounts" and made sure the login had access to the appropriate folders used by SQL Server. Then I stopped the SQL Server service and tried to restart it, without success. These are the error messages:
Code Snippet
SQL Server could not spawn FRunCM thread. Check the SQL Server error log and the Windows event logs for information about possible related problems.
Could not start the network library because of an internal error in the network library. To determine the cause, review the errors immediately preceding this one in the error log.
FCB::Open failed: Could not open file E:MSSQL$STAGINGDatamodel.mdf for file number 1. OS error: 5(Access is denied.).
TDSSNIClient initialization failed with error 0x5, status code 0x1.
TDSSNIClient initialization failed with error 0x5, status code 0x90.
I checked some other posts on this board, and they suggested the problem might be that the "VIA" protocol was enabled. I checked for this protocol in the Configuration Manager, and it is DISABLED in both the SQL Server 2005 Network Configuration and the SQL Native Client Configuration. What else could be causing this error?
The errors do not occur when I add the service account back to the "SQLServer2005MSSQLUser" Windows Group. The SQL Server service starts successfully when the account is back in this group.
Here are my answers to the questions posted at the top of this board:
What is the MS SQL version? - SQL Server 2005 SP2 (9.00.3054.00)
What is the SKU of MS SQL? - Enterprise Edition (SKU ID: 1804890536)
What is the SQL Server Protocol enabled? - TCPIP, Named Pipes
Does the server start successfully? - NO
If not what is the error messages in the SQL server ERRORLOG? - See above.
If SQL Server is a named instance, is the SQL browser enabled? - YES
What is the account that the SQL Server is running under? - Domain Account
Do you make firewall exception for your SQL server TCP port if you want connect remotely through TCP provider? Not applicable, Windows Firewall is not used
Do you make firewall exception for SQL Browser UDP port 1434?
Not Applicable, Windows Firewall is not used

I have a SP SQL server that uses Handshake for the web parts. I am getting an error on SharePoint about 'An error occurred during Service Master Key Decryption' inside the web parts of the page, everything else comes up, from what I have researched MS says go under SQL Configuration Manager and change the service account. Is this the correct course of action for this type of error? I am just having a hard time believing that changing the engines service account will stop this issue, this account is used on several SQL server with no issues.

During install of SQL Server 2005, we can of course use a domain account or the built-in system account for running the services. I lean toward domain for obvious reaons but would like to know a +/- to each option and why I'd choose one over the other and what consequences or limitations one may encounter if I choose one over the other.

Hello all,
I just inherited a SQL Server that was set up by a non-DBA. It`s running NT 4.0 and SQL Server 6.50 - 6.50.201 (the vendor hasn`t certified the product on SP4). I am trying to change the SQL Executive Service to use a non-system logon account. The account that I want to use is running SQL Executive on 9 other servers.
I went into Usrmgr and added the account to the administrators group. Made sure that it has rights to:
log on as a service, log on as a batch job, increase quotas, act as part of the operating system, replace a process level token.
When I try to change to that id in services, I get the following error:
"cannot set the startup parameters for SQL Executive service. Error 1057 occurred. The account name is invalid or does not exist."
Looking in Technet, I found that if "log on as a service" isn`t set you could get this message but I`ve check/re-checked, had someone else check and it`s set.
Any help would be appreciated!

I am facing a problem which is based on the restrictions on the domain of the customer. After deplyoing the report on the server we are getting the following error message in the report manager after executing (clicking) a report link:
Logon failed.
Logon failure: the user has not been granted the requested logon type at this computer. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80070569)
I googled for that and it seems to be an authentication issue where some user / account is not granted to log on as service / locally, but the problems is better described than the solutions. Did anyone faced that problem so far ? Which account has to be granted what priviledges or permissions in Windows. We are using a SQL Server 2005 / Reporting Services 2005 running on the same machine whereas the virtual directories Reports and Reportserver are running in a separate Application Pool
Thanks,
Thomas

Hello! I have the following problem. I developed CLR Stored Procedure "StartNotification" and deploy it on db. This sp calls external web service. Furthermore, this sp is called according with SQL Server Agent Job's schedule. On my PC SQL Server works under Local System account and this web service is called correctly (Executed as user: NT AUTHORITYSYSTEM). But on ther other server the following exception is raised during job running:
Date 17.04.2007 16:42:10

Executed as user: CORPmssqlserver.
A .NET Framework error occurred during execution
of user defined routine or aggregate 'StartNotification':

StackCrawlMark& stackMark, Boolean isPermSet)
at System.Security.CodeAccessPermission.Demand()
at System.Net. The step failed.
What is the reason of this behaviour? Unfortunately I do not have direct access to this server.
I have the following guesses:
1) CORPmssqlserver may have not enough permissions to call web service
2) Something wrong with SQL Server account's permissions
2) Something wrong with SQL Server Agent account's permissions
I will take the will for the deed. Thanks.

Hi all,
I do understand that it is highly recomended to have aserprate user (perfered a domain user account) for each of the SQL Server service and SQL Agent service.
What is the reason behind that? (Someone told me to not run the service with an account that has a powerul privilegs! - I don't undrstanmd this point can you explain it please?)
What is the diffrent between: 1- Local System account 2 -Network Service account
Thanks in advanced!

Microsoft recommends that you do not use the Network Service account to run the SQL Server service (see http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms143504.aspx).
Can anyone tell me what the drawbacks are of doing this?

Okay now this is weird, today the Reporting Services was not running and here are the entries in the event log:
Event Type: Error
Event Source: Service Control Manager
Event Category: None
Event ID: 7041
Date: 12/12/2007
Time: 9:47:22
User: N/A
Computer: TFS
Description:
The ReportServer service was unable to log on as DOMAINTFSREPORTS with the currently configured password due to the following error:
Logon failure: the user has not been granted the requested logon type at this computer.
Service: ReportServer
Domain and account: DOMAINTFSREPORTS
This service account does not have the necessary user right "Log on as a service."
User Action
Assign "Log on as a service" to the service account on this computer. You can use Local Security Settings (Secpol.msc) to do this. If this computer is a node in a cluster, check that this user right is assigned to the Cluster service account on all nodes in the cluster.
If you have already assigned this user right to the service account, and the user right appears to be removed, a Group Policy object associated with this node might be removing the right. Check with your domain administrator to find out if this is happening.
For more information, see Help and Support Center at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp
I am the administrator of the machines and I can assure you that no domain policy has changed for a couple of weeks. What should I look for?

Hi
I get a strange error on my SQL Server 2005 database when I try to start replication.
Here is the manipulation leading to my problem:
1. Install new Windows server 2003 and SQL Server 2005 STD, service pack 2.
Server is part of a domain.
SQL2k5 is running under the LocalSystem account on each machine.
2. Get a copy of yesterday's full backup and transaction logs from running production SQL2k5 server.
3. Restore master, model, msdb and other user databases.
4. Try to start replication using the wizard.
I get the following error message
Msg 15466 sp_addlinkedsrvlogin
An error occurred during decryption.
Msg 15185 no remote user distributor_admin
I suspect this problem has to do with master service keys but need some advice. I am not sure it is related to the master restore since it also occurs on the production machine.
What should I do with this error message ?
TIA
Stephane

I read on MSDN how to manually uninstall the instance of SQL server 2005 express, however i am not sure that it will remove the service. The reason i need to do this is that an application i have installed SQL Server 2005, and also QPulse5 SQL Server. I have two instances and it is giving me compile issues which i believe is related to having both services. I did add/remove programs and reinstalled just SQL Server 2005 and recieved error message saying that the service failed to start. The whole problem of this occured when we ran DCPromo with SQL installed. After we did we relized you could not promote with SQL Server. I understand that it is not recommended running SQL Server on a DC, however we did not have a choice. I am hoping someone here may have a solution for this. If there is any other information you need just let me know. Thanks

Why can't I change it?

Has anyone ever converted from running SQL Server under the Local System account to running under a Domain User account?
I have often installed SQL using a Domain User account, but I am inheriting a couple of SQL Servers that were set up to run under Local System. I have never had to convert "on the fly" before.
If you have any input or insights, I would be grateful.

I just set up a SQL 2005 Server about a month ago that we will be moving all of our scattered DBs onto. I basically set it up with the default settings and didn't touch anything special, until I tried to install Microsoft System Center Essentials 2007 in our environment. I had problems getting it to use our SQL server, and a forum post told me to change all of the service accounts for SQL to use the LocalSystem login. So here are my service accounts:
SQL Server Integration Services
- NT AUTHORITYNetworkService
SQL Server FullText Search (MSSQLSERVER)
- LocalSystem
SQL Server (MSSQLSERVER)
- LocalSystem
SQL Server Analysis Services (MSSQLSERVER)
- LocalSystem
SQL Server Reporting Services (MSSQLSERVER)
- LocalSystem
SQL Server Browser
- LocalSystem
SQL Server Agent (MSSQLSERVER)
- LocalSystem
So Sandisk makes this software called CMC. It's for controlling their enterprise USB drives. And their software won't install. It errors out saying that it couldn't drop the database on our SQL server (but it doesn't exist). If I make an empty DB by the same name, it sees it, and then errors out anyway. I am using the SA login for testing (I was using a purposed SQL account before) so I don't think it's a rights issue. Sandisk says it should work, and they suggested I use SQL server express. But we run VMs, and running SQL server in another VM is going to use more of our memory pool. Plus we want centralized backups and all that.
Do my service account logins have anything to do with it? Can someone tell me what these should be set to by default so I can change them back?
Here's a trace I did when I tried to install the software:
-- network protocol: TCP/IP
set quoted_identifier on
set arithabort off
set numeric_roundabort off
set ansi_warnings on
set ansi_padding on
set ansi_nulls on
set concat_null_yields_null on
set cursor_close_on_commit off
set implicit_transactions off
set language us_english
set dateformat mdy
set datefirst 7
set transaction isolation level read committed
set implicit_transactions on
go
drop database [CruzerDb]
go
IF @@TRANCOUNT > 0 ROLLBACK TRAN
go
And here's more info if needed:
Product Version
- 9.00.3042.00
Edition
- Standard Edition
Server Collation
- SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS
Is Clustered
- No

By default does CLR code run under the SQL Service Server account or the SQL Agent Service Account? Does anybody have a link to BOL or MSDN???
My assumption is its under SQL Server Service Account.
I'm trying to satisfy the DBA's security concerns in regards to CLR Code. If the account it runs under (Agent or service) has zero privliges will a dba still be able to maintain the server? Wouldnt all their backups work under a privilaged account that isnt the SQL Server Service Account?

I understand Sql Server Integration Services by default uses"NT AuthorityNetwork Service" account as service account. Is running SSIS using "NT AuthorityNetwork Service" account is good or should we create a domain account to run the SSIS service.

If there isn't then I will have to make sure the clients uncheck the "Hide advanced settings" checkbox and I would rather not have them do anything but hit the next button.

Ugh! Someone changed the password of our SQL Server service account. It is called syssql, and it is used by the MSSQLServer and SQL Executive services to log in at startup. After the password was changed, we noticed that replication wasn’t running, and since I know that replication uses the Executive service, I restarted that service using the new password. That worked to get replication working again, and since the boxes were production machines I didn’t restart the MSSQLServer service with the new password yet. Now, our syssql account keeps on locking up every so often, and scheduled tasks that use xp_sendmail stopped working, and alerts stopped sending. Is this happening because of the MSSQLServer service still being logged in with the old password? I suspect that the SQL Mail logs in through the MSSQLServer service, which is still using the old password, and the login failures are causing the syssql account to lock. Any other ideas???

We are debating whether to run the SQL Server service as Local System, a domain user without local admin rights, or a domain user with local admin rights. MSDN recommends local admin rights, but doesn't require them.
I would like to get some idea of how the real world handles this. If you run as a local admin, how do you handle the security implications? And if you run without local admin rights, what gotchas have you run into with extended stored procs, replication, etc?
Thanks,
