SQL 2012 :: Database Mail Profile Security Changed On Its Own?
Oct 30, 2015
We had a strange incident with our Database Mail today. We use sp_send_DBMail to send mail from stored procedures in our SQL Server 2012 (11.0.2138). There are 7 profiles available for use by different databases. The actual stored procedures are called by Web apps using a connection string that has a specific SQL user identified.
Last night app 1 was using profile 1 like usual and app 3 was using profile 3 like usual. This this morning (7 hours later) App 3 was sending from profile 1 everytime a call to sp_send_dbmail was made. Not good. App 1 was still correctly sending from profile 1.
We ran a call to sp_send_dbmail from a query window using profile 3 and it sent using the correct profile 3. We used the Database Mail right-click option of "Send Test Email..." to both profiles and they worked as expected.
Our investigation showed that in the Database Mail configuration wizard "Manage Profile Security" section Private Profiles tab... the User name that is used to call the stored procedures from web app 3's sp_send_DBMail did not have access to profile 3 anymore. It did have access to 5 of the other 7 profiles. 1 of the no access profiles was legitimate #7.
The only thing that has been changed lately was, 2 days ago a mail profile was deleted as it was no longer used. We used the Database Mail Configuration Wizard to remove it.
We have a previous SQL 2012 cluster that emails us when a new database is added. I am unable to figure out why we get this error any time we add a new database to it, and also it prevents us from adding a new availability group to this cluster because of this error.
I also am unable to figure out what profile it is talking about as this was setup before me and I am not a DBA.
Hi, Is it necesarry that to run SQL Mail, you need MS Exchange Server as the mail server? Our mail server is MDaemon 2.8. Can anyone tell me what would be the mail profile for MDaemon? TIA Wilson
I saw from SWYNK that you were able to set up SQL Mail using Lotus Notes. I tried following the post by Edward Alexander but got into some trouble:
We were using MAPI to get to Notes Mail.
1. We know that MAPI works because we were able to send mail by a. using the exchange client (Windows Messaging client) b. using VB script to send a message with MAPI.Session
The problem is that SQL server cannot see the Exchange Profile that was defined on the SQL box.
I have sql 2000 sp4 running on a cluster, we had to fail over to other cluster, and now the sql agent choice to use a mail profile is grayed out. I can go to sql mail and test the profile and it works, but I can't change it for the sql agent? Anyone seen this before
It's a Windows 2000 Server box with SQL 2000 on it. MSSQLSERVER &SQLSERVERAGENT services are logged in as valid domain user. I set up amail profile for that user, and can send email via Outlook 2003.However, when I go to the SQL Agent Properties in Enterprise Manager,Mail Profile is disabled.I've restarted the services & even tried rebooting the server. Thisworks on my other servers, but they're Windows 2003. Not sure ifthat's the problem though.Anybody have any clues?
WE have an appl testing the SQL security feature, at some point in time they drop the BUILTINAdministrators group from the login, changed the security mode to "Windows NT only", but no users have system admin server role, after the SQL server was restarted, no one can connect to the server. No one has authority to change the security mode back to "mixed" (all standard logons will not work) Any comment ?
The way I can think of to fix the problem: detach all user databases run rebuildm.exe reattach all user databases recreate the required logins
I have been using database mail for quite a few years now. I started using it with SQL Server 2005 and then it worked fine. Then we went over to SQL 2012 and the problems started. At first I could not get any e-mails out and read a post by Microsoft that a patch needs to come out but not available yet. That was in 2012. Presumably the patch came out with windows updates and my DB Mail started working. Now, however, I have the problem that some e-mails do get sent but the majority failed.
I use this so that whenever a user captures certain data to update a person's status on the database then an automatic e-mail will be sent to that person to inform them of their status at this company.
I am trying to send out notifications when jobs complete (fail or succeed). I have database mail working fine on my DEV server, but I am having issues with it on my PROD server. I am currently having people look into if McAfee may be blocking it.
I am able to send out a test email from SSMS>Management>Database Mail, but when I set a Notification for a job, the job will complete and in the history, it will say "NOTE: Failed to notify 'User' via email."
I have created an Operator and set up Profiles and Accounts, just as I did on my DEV server.
I'm trying to set up email notification on one of our SQL 7.0 servers. Does anybody know of any security issues with installing Outlook on a server? Is there a way to configure it such that it can't receive mail but it can send mail? Thanks in advance
I have a table (represented by #Events) that holds modifications made to another table. I do have some control over the table structure and indexing. I want to pull all of the change records that were made between two dates.
The tricky part is to include the previous version of each record, which will usually be found prior to the start date in question.
The code that I have provided below works. So you can use it to easily see what should be returned. But it's very slow in production.
Any better method to pull this data together?
-- Production version of this table has 4.5 million rows (roughly 1,000 rows per day) -- Primary key is on L4Ident (clustered) -- nonclustered index on ProcessDate, LinkRL4 DROP TABLE dbo.#Events; DROP TABLE dbo.#Results; CREATE TABLE dbo.#Events ( L4Ident int IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL,
I had a failover occur last night on my AlwaysOn AG, the SQL accounts had to have the passwords re-entered in order to connect to the databases?
1. I checked the SIDS, they match 2. both accounts have sysadmin rights, I know, I don't like it either but the apps will not run without it. 3. Only a few people have access to the SQL servers, right now, they all deny changing the password,
after i login, i should be able to see the login person's profile, and edit it. anyone know how to do this?currently i am using grid view to display the profile, and created a store procedure in database ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[select_customer_by_login] -- Add the parameters for the stored procedure here(@Username nvarchar(50))AS SELECT C.CustomerName, C.TFN, C.Address, C.City, C.State, C.PostCode, C.Phone From dbo.Login L, dbo.Customer C Where L.CustomerID = C.CustomerID and L.UserID=@Username; @Username is the login account when people login. the error output is Procedure or Function 'select_customer_by_login' expects parameter '@Username', which was not supplied.

Anybody can tell me that what I can do so that i can send mail using the SMTP databasemail account."
I'm exploring using VS2013, TFS 2013 and Release Management for DB projects.In VS 2013 the deployment configuration is stored in the publishing profile, which is not necessarily being used by deployment tools. (Release Management for example, while it's supporting the profiles, it does not require them) So, the question is how to control what will happen in the target database when the publishing profile file is not being used?
Is there any way to store the deployment configuration with project so it will be applied by default?For example, if I want to control the following settings: Block incremental deployment if data loss may occur...Drop objects in the target DB that are not in the DB project, e.t.c.
Our company use yahoo business mail server for our corporate mails. I know that I can configure database mail with SMTP. But when I try to configure database mail account with yahoo bizmail, I cannot do that. It gets configured but when I test it it doesn't send any mails. Do I need to have any special condiguration for this. SMTP address is smtp.bizmail.yahoo.com. Also I have specified the Authentication using my user name and password. Please help
I want to send a simple mail using DATABASE MAIL feature in SQL SERVER 2005.
I've defined a public profile. I've enabled Database Mail stored procedures through the Surface Area Configuration .
but I can't send a mail with sp_send_dbmail stored procedure in 'msdb' database .
when I execute sp_send_dbmail in the Managment Studio the message is "Mail queued" but the mail is not sent.
Could it be related to Service Broker?Because the Surface Area Configuration indicates:'this inctance does not have a Service Broker endpoint'.If so, how should I make an endpoint?
here is the log file after executing sp_send_dbmail:
1) "DatabaseMail process is started"
2) "The mail could not be sent to the recipients because of the mail server failure. (Sending Mail using Account 2 (2007-03-08T00:49:29). Exception Message: Could not connect to mail server. (No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it)."
The DatabaseMail90.exe is triggred ,so the mail is transfered to the mail queue but DatabaseMail90.exe couldn't give the mail to SMTP server.The promlem is what should I do to make DatabaseMail90.exe able to connect to the server?
Hello everyone,I have a webcontrol that uses database-structures alot, it uses the system tables in SQL to read column information from tables. To ease the load of the SQL server I have a property that stores this information in a cache and everything works fine.I am doing some research to find if there are anyway to get information from the SQL server that the structure from a table has changed.I want to know if a column or table has changed any values, like datatype, name, properties, etc.Any suggestions out there ?!
How do i find who has changed the settings in the database.
basically when i looked at this morning i saw a database which is set in single user mode.when i tried to look at the errorlog i found nothing except the spid's of different people and as far as i know i think that spid's are assigned randomly depending on there availability.
Now this has happened twice recently and now i want to find out who the culprit is his username, machine name but not spid.
Can i do it if how can i.
how do i track each and every users info what he is doin and at what time.
do i need to set up or configure any options.
sometimes i also see that there is a dbcc command run by as it says winnt/system what does this mean how is this running.
I wasn't able to connect to my SQL server 2000 database (which reside in the network in a windows 2003 server) after the IP address of the server has changed and the server is shut down, moved and re-started.
I was able to connect to this server by using ADO using VB. I was able to register this server in my EM and was able to create ODBC connection. Just when using ADO.NET, I wasn't able to connect. Any ideas? Will there be any caching within ADO.NET still pointing to the old IP address?
I do weekly full backups of my SQL databases via a scheduled T-SQL job.I noticed that I have some static databases that dont normally change,so I dont want to back it up if it has not changed, but when it does,then I want a backup.Is there something in the master table, as example, that I can checkprior to running the backup that will indicate any changes?An example is the Northwind database. I could exclude it from thebackup, but then I would not back it up if it where to change. Againthis is an example, I would not need to modify Northwind.Thanks in advance for any ideas; they usually give me ideas to problemsyet to come....Rob Camarda
I have an online SQL Server database, and my web site registered clients can change the records of this database. My need: if a record of this database is changed, whole the changed record send to me and to the person who changed it immediately. I thought it could be possible through Transact-SQL,
