I upgraded an existing SQL 2000 SP4 to SQL Server 2005. This is on a 2003 SP1 server. During the upgrade, the Native Client errored out and gave "password does not meet Windows policy". The Database Services failed to install. This machine is on a domain and the password length and complexity settings cannot be modified by the local computer policy.
I tried the installer a second time and no error was given and the install completed successfully. Both times were using Windows Authentication. From that point on, the SQL server seemed fine. That is until I tried installing SP1. I get the same error when installing SP1 and have yet to find a solution. I have changed the password of my SA account but the error still happens. So I cannot install SP1. Both my windows account and the SA account meet the password policy.
I am using Windows Authentication, but what is the user 'sysadmin' and how do i change its password? I am a member of the sysadmin role thru inheritance not direct membership. Domain Admins->Administrators->sysadmin.
Here is some of the log, a lot has been omitted.

Hello, I am admittedly new to this, especially sql server and am in need of a pro's assistance.. I installed Microsoft Small Business accounting, which in turn installed and configured a sql server. When I installed ACT! 2005 (v7.0) and tried to create a database, it states that it cannot find the master file.... so I tried to install sql server from Microsofts site - downloaded all the packages, unzipped them and ran them... the error I get is that the sql server needs to have an sa password and to use some switch to change it... for the life of me I am lost here. I can't use ACT! at this point and I have not ideas of how to remove, reinstall or repair the sql server.... Any help you can provide would be greatly appreicated!
How to install sql server 2005 automatically with sa password
I want to know that i am creating a setup in visual studio 2005, i have set up sql server as prerequsite, by default the sql server installation is silent, it does not ask anything, in MSDE we had the facility of setyp.ini file which automatically creates the database with the settings provided in the ini file. Is there any option like this in sql server 2005 express editon.
the installation process stops almost immediately telling me I need a superduper secure password thingy but when I try the command prompts suggested they don't work... I'm on XP home.
During an install of SQL Server 2005 Express setting the sa password does not work consistently. The install is being run as administrator and I am using an .ini file to pass the settings,
and while most times it works correctly, occasionally, maybe 4 out of 10 times it fails to set the password and I have been unable to find any warnings or errors in the logs it generates.
We are coming up on release and this is causing us some real problems. Does anyone have any ideas, something I could look at?
sometimes the sa password is set correctly, while other times it is not. There does not appear to be any particular environment or system setting when it fails vs. when it works.
We are coming up on a release date and this is causing us a serious problem. Can anyone help?
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.
I 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?
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.
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:
TITLE: Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Setup ------------------------------
The sa password must meet SQL Server password policy requirements. For strong password guidelines, see Authentication Mode, in SQL Server Books Online.

I am trying to install this database in a network server operating under Windows Server 2003 R2 with SP2. If anyone knows how to solve this problem, please let me.
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?
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.
I am currently running Windows XP Professional Service Pack2. It already has MSDE & SQL Server 2000 installed (although I just uninstalled MSDE in the vain hope that it might present the installer with a more straightforward upgrade).
I have tried installing with the default instance & a new instance (I don't really care - I just need to install the darn thing). I just want the basic database & Books On-line, nothing fancy.
Here is the Summary log, for what it's worth:

I suppose an error dialog (or log message) that actually told you what is wrong and then what to do is too much to ask for. (Or an installer than just copied all the files into place). :(

I tried to search internet, however, I couldn't get solution.
My SQL server 2005 is standard version, OS Windows server 2003 sp2, I am using Administrator account to install it.
I have compile my application into a Smart Device CAB and also including SQLCE CAB file for SQL.
I have users who choose to install SQLCE into Storage Cards instead and causes the application not to function, when asked which destination to install.
I've done some search and found out about "wceload.exe /noaskdest" but I'm using NSIS to compile into a single .exe file, and its calling "CEAppMgr.exe"
How can I force SQLCE to install into its default directory without asking user?
Win XP Pro SP2IIS 5.1SQL 2005 SP1 (Developer edition)VS 2005 SP1.Net 2.0IE7 (didn't work on IE 6 either)Latest updates from Windows updateI have set up SSRS successfully on several machines. But on a new machine with standard install I have the out of the box SSRS report manager running with issues and would like to resolve them. Report Manager will serve image files from my project. But it won't render deployed reports, not even one which has no data sources. From within VS 2005 the same reports render, no problems. The same reports published to another SSRS machine render fine.The browser erorr message is "Value does no fall within the expected range".Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

I've tried looking for a solution in other threads but I couldn't find anything that was completely the same as my situation. I got a new pc at work and I've tried installing SQL Server 2005 on it but everytime I try to install it, regardless of services included or excluded with the install, I cannot get through the install without this error. Below is the excerpt from the Summary.txt log file.

I've searched for and found similar problems that deal with the microsoft.sqlserver.notificationservices.dll not being found but I haven't found a fix that worked for me. These are the fixes I've refered to thus far.
The answer that seems to fix this problem for everyone is to set the MSDTC service login as the NT AUTHORITYNetworkService account. The problem for me is that this is already set to this profile and I've tried resetting the services and rebooting the machine. I did not have a problem with my old machine, which as far as I can tell, is the same configuration, so I know this install should work.
I'm running Windows XP SP2. This is not the upgrade to SQL Server 2005 SP2, this is the original disk that came with Visual Studio 2005.
Has anyone else faced this issue where changing the MSDTC login wasn't the solution? Also, this is my first post, so I apologize if I've left anything out. Just let me know if you want any other information.
I never installed previous beta versions on my computer before. But now I have some serious problem after an incomplete de-install and a re-install of SQL server 2005 express advanced. I hope anybody can help me to solve this. Because the first installation eas not succesfull I had to do an de-install. I have tried to unstall through start/control panel/ add-remove programms and even there not all programs were removed. And that caused the problem. After that I wanted to re-install again but an msi file was missing. So I did a de-install agian. Tried to re-install again but with a lot of errors. After looking at the library I found a program: Windows Install CleanUp. I installed it and that even gives an error for all programs installed with SQL 2005. After that I ran a program called MsiInv to clean but without any succes because this program reported a run-tim error. I have all reports on my computer but don't know how to attach them. If you think you can help me I could send you all the reports. Regards,
I have never installed sql server before and I didnt know if I just take the sql server 2005 standard edition media and boot off it and do a fresh install that way or do I have to install Windows server
I am building a website in Dreamweaver. I have tried and tried to get a connection to SQL 2005. Everything works on the web except the stuff that requires the use of my SQL tables. With OPEN_Conn ="Provider=SQLOLEDB;Data Source=localhost;Initial Catalog=master" I get an error at the bottom of my page saying this: Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server error '80004005' Invalid authorization specification When I add a password and ID to the string the pages become very slow and I get this error: Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server error '80004005' [DBNETLIB][ConnectionOpen (Connect()).]SQL Server does not exist or access denied. Using windows authentication when logging into SQL Server doesn't have a user id or password so maybe I just don't know what to put there. I have tried a mix of all the passwords and ID's I use on this computer. Do I even have to have the user ID and password and if not how do I fix the first error? All help appreciated.
Hi All. Have a nice day. in my project asp.net web.config file has <connectionStrings> <add name="MyDbConn" connectionString="Data Source=NAVEEDSQLEXPRESS;Initial Catalog=QADB_2005;Persist Security Info=True;User ID=db1;Password=12345;" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" /> </connectionStrings> I want to change password of database, how can i change. please can you assist. Thanks. Zahyea.
I am designing a DTS package which i need to update every so often to change the name of the source file(it's a text import). Every time that i change this, then click save, the DTS job begins to fail, with password errors. I put the password back in correctly( i still don't know why it gets lost in the first place), and click save - same result. this is getting tremendously frustrating, so i really appreciate any answers.
I need to get a password out of SQLServer 6.5. The account is a user account. I need to get the password so that I can create a development database. The DBA's that know the password have left the company, and I can not just change the password. Please HELP!!!
Recently my husband has taken the position of IS Manager for a major hotel Firm. The IS Manager that was there before him had a SQL Server which held some of the hotels data. He did not leave the SA password. How do you find out what the SA password is if you do not have it? I do not know what to tell him. Does anyone out there have any idea what he can do?
Hi! When I try to set password for any login begining from 'sa' using Enterpr. Manager or sp_password I get error message:
'Server: Msg 552, Level 16, State 1, Procedure sp_password, Line 63 CryptoAPI function 'CryptAcquireContext' failed. Error 0x80090006: Invalid Signature.' What does it mean?
Is there anyway to "get in the backdoor" if you have installed SQLserver and assigned sa a password (no other users are set up with admin rights) and then forget what the password is.
In the online doc it says you have to reinstall SQL server....isn't there any other way to get in??? For instance in SYBASE you can log on to the console and "go thru the backdoor" and issue a command from there.
