SQL 2005 Cluster (Service Account) Removal.
Jun 13, 2008
We have a N+1 SQL 2005 x65 SP2 + 3159 cluster which was running fine until the service account which runs Windows cluster and the SQL services was removed as a login from SQL. This was a new setup so the only SQL accounts are (SA) as SA, Windows Domain GROUP's which one group is configured as SA and the cluster account is added to this group. I cannot start SQL service on the cluster now. I've tried logging into one node as the service account which is member of a AD group which has SA rights to SQL as well as my personal account. If anyone knows a way ot fix this without reinstalling I'd appreciate your help.

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.

I'm trying to do an unattended install of SQL Express 2005 SP2, and specify that the service runs under the Local Service account. Prior versions of SQL Express worked fine.
With SQL Express 2005 SP2, however, the install fails on XP Pro SP2. It *does* work on Winows 2003 Server.
Here's the command line I'm using:
SQLEXPR.EXE /QB ADDLOCAL=ALL INSTANCENAME=FOO SECURITYMODE=SQL SAPWD=BAR SQLACCOUNT="NT AUTHORITYLOCAL SERVICE"
It fails at the end of the install, saying it can't start the service. If I use "NETWORK SERVICE", it works fine, but that's more privileges than I want the service to have. Is there something else on the command line that I can try to get it to work?
Is this even supported?

" Error opening datafile: Access is denied. Error source: Microsoft Data Transformation Services Flat File Rowset Provider"
The data has change access to the System account under the NT security.
Thank you in advanced.

hi all
i'm using a domain accout to setup a sql 2005 cluster in a win2003 cluster.when the installation ended,the SqlServerAgent service can't be started.the event in event viewer
is "SQLServerAgent could not be started (reason: Unable to connect to server "(local)"; LServerAgent
cannot start). " (event id 103 ,source sqlserveragent).I try to use local system and network service account to start it,but it's all the same.
And i found i can connect to the sql cluster vitrual ip 10.73.2.224,but can't connect to the node A.So i enable all the network protocols for the instance MSSQLSERVER,and also enable every ip in the TCP/IP protocol,then restart the sqlserver service,but it still doesn't work.
Any advise?Thanks a lot.

Hi,
I am having an existing sql 2005 cluster on an active passive cluster. I need to add analysis service to this as a new component. I am having enough space available in the cluster disks. Following are my queries,
1) do i need a new virtual ip and virtual server name for the analysis services ?
2) do i need a seperate cluster resource group for analysis services with an additional disk added ?
Regards

Hello all,
I am intsalling SQL 2005 in an activepassive cluster. The OS is Windows 2003 with SP1. Everything installs OK but the sql server service cannot start afterwards. There are many access errors in the Security Event log - see example below - and numerous "SSPI handshake failed with error code 0x8009030c while establishing a connection with integrated security; the connection has been closed. " errors in both the SQL and Application event logs. I have tried installing SQL in both mixed mode and under Windows Authentication and get the same errors. I can install SQL 2005 outside of the cluster on both nodes. Other items of note: This was a SQL 2000 cluster. I uninstalled SQL 2K, the virtual name was changed (IP remained the same) and the DNS entry was updated to reflect the new name. Early in the installation process - 3 or 4 days ago - I got a few errors about the Server Principal Name had to be updated but when I do a setspn -l the both nodes are listed and the entries look fine, though there are no entries for the sql service (MSSQLSvc). Not sure if there should be entries for the virtual name, but there aren't any for either the old or new name. Does the new virtual name need to be added to AD? Here is the security error - Event ID is 560 and it looks like there's a problem with Remote Access and is generated when trying to access either node:
Category: Object Access
Type: Failure Audit
Event_ID: 560
User: NT AuthorityNetwork Service
Object Open:
Object Server: SC Manager
Object Type: SERVICE OBJECT
Object Name: RemoteAccess

Client Logon ID: (0x0,0x3E4)

Restricted Sid Count: 0

One other informational message that may be of use - looks like there's a problem with dll's for remote access, though this isn't pertaining to SQL:
The description for Event ID ( 0 ) in Source ( srmservice ) cannot be found. The local computer may not have the necessary registry information or message DLL files to display messages from a remote computer. You may be able to use the /AUXSOURCE= flag to retrieve this description; see Help and Support for details. The following information is part of the event: srmservice error: 0, Started the agent (srmagent.exe)..

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
Log Job History (FailureNotificationJob)
Step ID 1
Server MSK-CDBPO-01
Job Name FailureNotificationJob
Step Name MainStep

Sql Severity 16
Sql Message ID 6522
Operator Emailed
Operator Net sent
Operator Paged
Retries Attempted 0
Message
Executed as user: CORPmssqlserver.
A .NET Framework error occurred during execution
of user defined routine or aggregate 'StartNotification':
System.Security.SecurityException: Request for the permission of type
'System.Net.WebPermission, System, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral,

at System.Security.CodeAccessSecurityEngine.Check(Object demand,
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.

Can I build a cluster by adding the cluster service, then the SQL instances, then add the other nodes and their passive SQL instances?I would lean to building the cluster first, the add the SQL instances.

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?

Folks,
MSSQLServer and SQL Server Agent services under NT are running under a system account under our domain (setup many moons ago) for which we have lost the passsword. Is there any way we can recover these passwords?

Hi,
I am trying to set properties on a SQL Server7, but when I get to the tab for 'Startup Service account', it is greyed out. Also, the same for properties for SQL Server Agent.
Why can't I change it?
To schedule jobs, and have SQL mail, don't I need to set up a Startup Service Account?
Thanks for your help,

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
Is FullText Installed
- Yes
Is Integrated Security Only
- No
Is AWE Enabled
- 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?
Double posted in security.

Hi All,
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.

On the screen "Service Account" during SQL 2005 Developer Edition, I am choosing built-in System Account = Local System and uncheck the Customzie for each service account. that means, that this system account is set to all services,

I am trying to install an SQL Express 2005 instance and have the built-in system account set to "Local system" because I was having some security issues while trying to attach a database. Is there a command line switch that will allow me to do this?
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.

We are upgrading from Sql Server Express to SQl Server 2005. As part of the installation process, it is not asking us to specify a service account for various services, and we are not sure what to specify. (This was handled automatically with Express). Any ideas?

However, I don't know why the "startup service account" info is

Any help would be appreciated!!

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,

I have an older instance of SQL Server (2000) used for an old installation of Great Plains. Over the years there have been several custom application built to interface various accounting related systems with the data on this server.
Recently there have been several instances where random transactions are being deleted. The folks in the accounting group setup Great Plains to track any deletes from the GL account and determine who did the deletes. They're telling me that the same account we use to launch SQL Server is the account deleting the data.
It's possible that someone knows the login creds for this account and is using it to do some task that's causing the problem, but that's a long shot in my opinion. I rather believe that one of these custom interface apps is causing the problem.
One of the custom interfaces includes several SQL jobs that run that do some truncating and bulk inserting. In each case these jobs are owned by the sa account. If one of these jobs deleted the data would it be reported as being deleted by sa or by the service account since that's the account that launches SQL Server Agent?
