Rename Login And User
May 31, 2000Is it possible to rename Logins and users in SQL Server 6.5. I can find no provided way of doing this although the only references to the name I can find is the login name in syslogins table and the user name in sysusers (in each database). The system catalog diagram implies that all joins are done via the SUID field within each table. Can I simply update each entry to the new name and proceed? I have tried it on a test server and have seen no ill effects thus far. Anyone else tried this?

Is it then necessary to grantdbaccess to the default database?
Non SysAdmin Accounts Cannot Login
Jun 12, 2007I have a SQL2005 in a cluster environment, for some reason the only way that user accounts can login to either the database or SSMS is to grant them the SysAdmin role. This access is a little to high for my liking and am wondering if anyone else has come across this before.
Thank you
Error : Cannot Open User Default Database. Login Failed. Login Failed For User 'server/user'
Nov 22, 2007
i'm using the Enterpirse library logger to write logs into a database.
When choosing connection string i choose the database i want in the "connection properties" dialog box and
push 'Test connection' button.
everything goes well.
then i open the SQL Server Management studio express and connect to the databse to check some things,
from that point on , when i push the 'Test Connection' button in the Enterprise library i get the error:
"cannot open user default database. Login failed. login failed for user My'server/MyuserName'"
even when i close the sql server manager , it is still stuck - the connection test doesn't work anymore....
it only work when i restart the computer.
why ?
SQL 2005 Login With Windows Accounts
Dec 19, 2006Hello,
I'm having a problem using Windows Accounts to login to a SQL 2005 Server.
Here is my setup. The SQL server and web server are separate machines. I'm also not developing directly on the web server.
SQL Server - Windows 2003 Server- SQL 2005- Set to use SQL and Windows AuthenticationWeb Server- Windows 2003 Server- IIS 6.0 - Anonymous Authentication is disabled - Integrated Windows Authentication is enabledApplication web.config:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<configuration xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/.NetConfiguration/v2.0"><appSettings> <add key="ETR_Environment" value="Dev"/></appSettings>
<connectionStrings> <add connectionString="Data Source=sql-dev-server, 1179;Initial Catalog=ENV_ETR;Integrated Security=SSPI;" name="ETR_Dev"/> <add connectionString="" name="ETR_Prod"/></connectionStrings>
<system.web> <compilation debug="true" strict="false" explicit="true"/> <pages> <namespaces> <clear/> <add namespace="System"/> <add namespace="System.Collections"/> <add namespace="System.Collections.Specialized"/> <add namespace="System.Configuration"/> <add namespace="System.Text"/> <add namespace="System.Text.RegularExpressions"/> <add namespace="System.Web"/> <add namespace="System.Web.Caching"/> <add namespace="System.Web.SessionState"/> <add namespace="System.Web.Security"/> <add namespace="System.Web.Profile"/> <add namespace="System.Web.UI"/> <add namespace="System.Web.UI.WebControls"/> <add namespace="System.Web.UI.WebControls.WebParts"/> <add namespace="System.Web.UI.HtmlControls"/> </namespaces> </pages>
<authentication mode="Windows"></authentication> <customErrors mode="Off"></customErrors> <authorization> <allow users="XXXWilliam.Klein"/> <deny users="*"/> </authorization></system.web></configuration>
The reason why I want to use the windows login to connect to the database is the application needs to keep track of who did what when entering and updating data but still keep them using there windows login accounts. So using a generic account will not work.
What keeps happening is I keep getting this error: Login failed for user 'NT AUTHORITYANONYMOUS LOGON'. When trying to connect the database. I've tried this on two web servers on another I get something slightly different: Login failed for user 'XXXWeb-Server$'.
Anybody able to give me any suggestions on how to fix this?

I'm attempting to write a script that I can execute accross 30 servers that will create a domain login and subsequently grant access to said account on all databases per server. The only problem that I'm running into is trying to dymanically create the login. Example source is below.
declare @sql varchar(1000)
declare @loginname varchar(50)

Reporting Services :: Can Control Access Of Parameters From Login Accounts?
May 24, 2015I am just wondering if i can control the access of range of variables from users' logins.
To be more specific, if i a parameter alpha has five values (1,2,3,4,5) and then i have 3 users A, B C, what i need is:
1. A can access Vaues(1, 3)
2. B can access Values (2, 4)
3. C can access Values(3,5)
Is there anyway i can do this either from the stored procedure i am getting the data or i can do it on SSIS development side?

Jun 17, 2007Hey Microsoft: this affects development that will eventually sell a lot of seats on SharePoint Server 2007. If you guys and gals can't straighten out this mess, you can't expect custom solutions with custom web parts. So pay attention for your own good. Yes, SPS 2007 is what this is all about. I've created simpe web parts and deployed them, same VS 2005, but I need local development and debugging for more complex stuff. I'm really disappointed that you have no solution for this problem.
I've seen other posts on this, but the result seems to be the same: if you fix it, it's by accident, not by design.
1. I created a blank ASP.NET web site
2. I added a web part manager
3. I added a web part zone
I get the error described above. I have no idea why SQL Server settings are so screwed up.
I've tried all the stuff in the other posts - security settings, command line installation, etc. None of those worked.
The default template(s) don't copy anything into App_Data, nor create an empty folder. I don't know why that is. I have other web sites working just fine, but they use remote SQL databases, or local ones I created, and didn't need profile management (no forms authentication, no web parts, no web zones).
I've also started out with a local database, using SQL Authentication, later moving it to a remote server, and never had any problems. The SQL Server developer edition and Express seem to work just fine. I can also debug stored procs when the .mdf is in App_Data. So the problem isn't one of connectivity.
What would cause the default screw-up? This would seem to point from all directions to a problem with Visual Studio (2005)? The installation is defalt - perhaps some extras included (copy local), but nothing unusual. AJAX for ASP.net is installed, but not used in the above "default web site" trial. Likewise Syncfusion's tools, which work fine on other developer workstations at this same location, all of which are from the same image (purchased at the same time & imaged). That web parts work on other boxes, running all the same management tools (anti-virus, remote sys admin/sms etc.) makes none of those suspect.
I think Microsoft needs to have a clean problem solution and publish it. SP1 certainly doesn't fix it. What's worse is the stupid, lame error message. "I can't open the default database". Well, what did you try? What do you think the default is? What settings are you using? Why is there no debugging information other than the usual worthless trace information showing it's all deep within the ProviderBase and SqlClient namespace code? How is that supposed to be helpful?
If anyone has anything solid, not guesses, I'd like to know.

Orphaned User Accounts When Restoring
Dec 29, 1999I am copying a database to an alternate server by restoring a full backup onto the new server. However, whether I create the logins prior to the restoration or not the user accounts in the database no longer map to logins in the master.
Unfortunately it is not simply a case of dropping the acounts as they own objects in the database.
My best solution to date has been to use the sp_addalias to alias logins of the same name to the original user. However this is a far from ideal situation as one cannot readily tell that the logins are aliased and there must be an additional overhead in doing this.
Copying/Moving User Accounts...how?
Sep 27, 2006Ok. So we just moved over one DB from our original server to another server. The DB copied over fine.
Our next step is trying to see if there is a way to move accounts. Is that possible?
We have about 40 accounts (using SQL authentication) on the original server. Is there a way to move or copy those accounts to the new SQL server that is holding that same DB?
Haven't found anything in the Enterprise manager, so im thinking it will be something to do in the SQL analyzer.
My lack of knowledge in SQL is not helping me much here.
I appreciate the help.

Jun 26, 2007This has been extremely confusing for me.
I want to just make a simple backup.
first of all when i choose the pick a folder to backup, no mapped drives I make are even THERE.
I realize this is probably related to the account being used, okay I thought let me change the user account to a network admin account... I still cannot see the drive.
Can't this thing just accept whatever I tell it to access like any other program??
You would think they would at least keep the standard Open File dialog so we can use the network browser or something...
I've changed my accounts all to NETWORK SERVICE, then LOCAL SYSTEM, then a DOMAIN ADMIN...
I can't get this to work correctly on this freshly installed server... can someone please help?
I'm at the point where I don't care if i have to just re-install the damn thing...
Just someone please tell me what to pick for the accounts.
Bonus: I have this same issue with reporting services and Services for Unix NFS Mapped drives.
How can I map a drive with NETWORK SERVICE Credentials so it finds the datasource path?
I've only been able to do something like this with psexec and Local System.
When logged in as Domain Admin it will show a disconnected network drive that you cant get rid of but system account can use.

Any thoughts?

Do Managed Local Accounts Remove Need For Multiple Domain Accounts
Aug 12, 2015I cannot get a consistent answer as to how many domain accounts would be suggested in a SQL Server 2014 installation. Previously the recommendation was a separate account for each service to provide isolation and minimum permissions for each account. It seems from what I've read that a single domain account would have something added to make it unique from SQL Server's perspective. Several still advocate multiple accounts. I don't know if they are doing so because that's the way it's always been done or if there is still some compelling reason to do so. I don't want to create unnecessary accounts simply because something is "ideal."
