SQL 2012 :: Removing Service Accounts From Local Admin Group - File Permission Changes Needed
Feb 11, 2014
I setup SQL Server 2012 on Windows Server 2012 with the service accounts in the local Administrator group, but now that I'd like to remove the accounts from this group I'm finding they don't have the appropriate access to the network storage. notes on setting the per-service SID's for SQL (SQL Engine, Analysis Services, Reporting Services, and Agent Service) so they can read the Data, Log, and TempDB mount points?

Hi,
Re: SQL Server 2005
We have defined a local administrator to be the SQL Server and SQL Server Agent services user, and is also the job step owner for some SSIS packages I am running.
My question is, isn't by default a local administrator ALSO granted sysadmin in SQL Server? According to this link, it seems to imply this:
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms143504.aspx
However, I am having some permissions problems with the local adminstrator account (i.e. SQL Server agent account) when it runs the job. The error is that it doesn't have execute permissions on sp_dts_addlogentry.
How can this be, if it's granted sysadmin?
Thanks

Hi There
I am doing an unattended upgrade of Sql Express with Advanced Services SP1.
Before the upgrade the services run under domain accounts.
I use the following command :
start /wait setup UPGRADE=SQL_Engine INSTANCENAME=MSSQLSERVER SQLACCOUNT=DOMAINUser SQLPASSWORD=p@ssw0rd ADDLOCAL=Client_Components,SQL_SSMSEE /qn
However after the ugrade the service accounts are running under local system.
Documentation is unclear, i find the following:
; The services for SQL Server and Analysis Server are set auto start. To use the *ACCOUNT settings
; make sure to specify the DOMAIN, e.g. SQLACCOUNT=DOMAINNAMEACCOUNT
; NOTE: When installing SQL_Engine 3 accounts are REQUIRED: SQLACCOUNT, AGTACCOUNT and SQLBROWSERACCOUNT.
; SQLACCOUNT Examples:
; SQLACCOUNT=<domainuser>
; SQLACCOUNT="NT AUTHORITYSYSTEM"
; SQLACCOUNT="NT AUTHORITYNETWORK SERVICE"
; SQLACCOUNT="NT AUTHORITYLOCAL SERVICE"
To my knowledge the <> is not required.
Can someone please help as i cannot get the services accounts to run under a domain user after upgrade.
Thanx

I 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."

I have a sql server 2012 server and I need to prevent the users from creating new schemas by mistake. Is there any way to revoke that permission alone but still letting the user to create their own objects in dbo (yes I know that shouldn't be in dbo but that is another issue).

Installed sql server 2012 enterprise. Runs with the built in account fine.
I tried entering a domain account to run as the service account from sql configuration it fails with the error "the specified network password is not correct".
I tried from services.msc and entered successfully but when I try to restart it fails that the log in credentials are wrong.
the domain account and password I entered are just fine. What's it I should do or missing?

This is the 1st time we are building a active/passive cluster with 1 node each. we usually install default instance and setup domain account as service account which will have an spn delegated. Now for active/passive cluster is it ok to use same domain account as service account for both clusters with both creating as default instance again as the windows was built as SERVER1 and SERVER2.

My 3rd party backup product uses a non-service account login to perform tasks. If the account that it uses has been granted Perform Volume Maintenance tasks on the server, will it use IFI when restoring? Or do I need to have it use the service account login specifically to benefit from that?

Am trying to run SQL Server Agent with a service account which is not in the Administrators group. Have done the following -
1. Removed the service account from the Administrators group on the machine
2. Assigned sysadmin privileges to the service account
3. Added it to the SQLServer2005SQLAgentUser$ComputerName$MSSQLSERVER role
4. Through SQL Configuration Manager assigned this account to the SQL Server Agent service
However, this does not start the Agent as a service. What is it that is missing?

For a database, we have 4 data files in a particular file group and the file sizes are almost 70 GB each.
Do I come across any performance issues if I create/pre-allocate an additional data file in the same file group so that the existing files don't grow too much?

I wanted to remove an extra transaction log file that was no longer required, and ran the following against the database...
DBCC Shrinkfile (DB_Name_log2, Emptyfile);
go
alter database [Db_Name]
remove file DB_Name_log2;
go
I got a successful removal message. But if I go into the properties of the database, and click on files, it still shows up. Why is this and how can I get rid of it?
It shows up in sys.master_files as offline.

I am currently hardening our SQL 2012 (with AlwaysOn Availability Groups) environment. Both the SQL service and agent account are using service accounts (only domain user). SQL browser service is disabled. Permissions to all roles are handled by using domain groups.
Currently a lot of (default) NT Service accounts are listed (some with sysadmin privileges). Are there accounts that can be removed?

Have an SSIS package with a Web Service Task, downloaded the WSDL to a local file, all is well until we try to deploy the package to another machine at which point the package expects to find the WSDL in the same place.
Am I not understanding something? Yes I can make it work, BUT:
1. Couldn't the task just get the WSDL from the web service each time, instead of from a static file? Isn't that the idea? Latest and greatest...
2. Having packages dependent on files is extremely inconvenient in a production environment. Security issues abound, things are in different places on different servers. How are folks handling this? The Web Service Task is certainly not the only place in SSIS where a package can be dependent on a file system location.

A little background on what I am trying to achieve first. We are moving to Azure virtual machines and we will have 8 disks on the SQL Server box. I am adding more files to the primary file group and each file will go on its own drive. I am then rebalancing data across these files by rebuilding all of the indexes on the tables which is working fine. No problems so far all is good.
I now have an additional problem. If there is a lob or blob column on the table, rebuilding the clustered index and all the non clustered indexes doesn't rebalance the blob or lob data across the disks such as it does with in row data.
I cannot find any articles on rebalancing lob or blob data because all the articles say to move to a new file group. I do not want a new file group, I just want to use the primary file group where the data already resides, and just redistribute it evenly in the same way that I can in row data which is working fine.
One solution I thought about was to BCP data out of the table, truncate the table and then BCP back into the table which I imagine would have the desired effect of distributing the data evenly over the files.

Hi all,After working for weeks on a project in VB.Net, I decided to deploy atest version on a user's computer.The user's XP SP2 computer has sql server xpress 2005 installed, and myVB.net creation. Everything works without problem when the user's XPaccount is set with Administrator permissions. But when i change theuser account to Limited, the program fails with the following message:"Failed to generate a user instance of SQL server due to a failure instarting the process for the user instance. The connection will beclosed."The connection string I'm using is: "DataSource=.SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename="|DataDirectory|DbTrial1.mdf";IntegratedSecurity=True;User Instance=True;Connect Timeout=30"Is there a workaround to get access for XP users with limited accounts?Many thanks :)p.s. allready tried changing in the connection string to "UserInstance=False", but then i get the error "An attempt to attach anauto-named database..... failed.. etc"And I've already tried the most common suggestion to delete the"SQLEXPRESS" folder in local settingsapplication data... but thatdoesn't do anything either :(

Why shrinkfile empty file does not redistribute data evenly in the primary file group with multiple files:
Please run the script attached to see what the end result is.
This is what I set up last night on my test machine.
1) Create database [FGTest] size 200MB
2) Create table called TEST on primary
3) Insert 40MB of data into test
4) Create another file group called temp in primary size 200MB
5) Shrinkfile('FGTest',emptyfile) so that all data is transfered from FGTest into temp file group.
6) Add another 2 files called DATA2 and DATA3. Both are 200MB.
7) We now have 3 empty files that I want data distributed evenly on. FGTest, DATA2 & DATA3
8) Shrinkfile('temp',emptyfile) to move all the data from temp over the 3 file groups evenly
I would expect at this stage to have the following:
FGTest = 13MB,
DATA2 = 13MB,
DATA3 = 13MB
(40MB of data over 3 files should be about 13 MBish in each file)
What I actually end up with is this:
FGTest = 20MB
DATA1 = 10MB
DATA2 = 10MB
It looks as though SQL Server is allocating 50% of all data to the original file and then 50% evenly over
the remaining files in PRIMARY.

I am reading kb 934164. I am confused about (creating system administrator) domain user accounts....
IN SQL 2005 USER PROVISIONING Tools
under kb934164 8e type a window account by the following format
domain/user 8k Type a windows account by following format domain/user
DO I simply type domain/user or do I actually Type my domain/user account
What is domain user?
In other words where does domain (PASSWORD) come from?
where does user(PASSWORD) come from?
I have being trying to find the answer for this
Is there anything else I need to be prepared for in user
provisioning. By the way do you need to turn off uac in vista while installing
sql 2005....Thanks Is there any examples of this? I just want to get it right....

I just had a question,
Is it possible to have a different account for the accoutn that starts the MSSQLServer service and the account tied to the Mail profile on the server?
We had created an account to start the SQLServer but we are in a network where we have a 1 way trust with another domain, we trust them but they dont trust us, and our exchange is on their domain.
WE currently use Windows authentication so our account used to start SQL Server would not be trusted by exchange.
Our thoughts on a solution were to have them create a service account that we would have access to the mailbox and would also start the SQL Server but thats it.
I was just wondering if anyone else had any other suggestions.
Thanks.

Hi Everyone. I have 150 SQL servers (2000 MSDE). They all run using various domain accounts as their service logins. Is there an automated way to find out those service logins? Maybe a query I could run on each server? I really do not want to go to each of those 150 servers and look at their properties manualy! :S Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you.

Trying to install Backup Exec 12 which comes bundled with SQL Server 2005 Express.
OS is a clean install of Swedish Windows Server 2003 Std R2, fully patched.
SQL fails to install, and the following is in the SQL summary-log:
Product : Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Express Edition
Product Version : 9.2.3042.00
Install : Failed
Log File : C:ProgramMicrosoft SQL Server90Setup BootstrapLOGFilesSQLSetup0002_VAXSRV02_SQL.log

Either the service accounts have not been provided for all of the services being installed, or the specified username or password is incorrect. For each service, specify a valid username, password, and domain, or specify a built-in system account.
The logon account cannot be validated for the service SQL Server.

Since the installation of SQL is bundled with the Backup Exec installation, there is no(?) possibility for me to specify usernames for the different services. The Backup Exec installation is initiated under the Domain Admin's login.
I suspect the problem occurs because of the OS not being English, but I am not sure. Have installed earlier versions of Backup Exec with SQL Server 2005 Express, on Swedish Windows Server 2003, before without issues.
No help at Veritas/Symantec's homepage.
Grateful for any help.

I have been reading through many postings here, through the MS SQL Server Unleashed book by SAMS, the MS SQL Tech article "Failover clustering for Microsoft SQL Server 2005 and SQL Server 2005 Analysis Services" for installing a brand new SQL 2005 2 node cluster.
So far I have not found the definitive answer that I am looking for and that is, what rights does the SQL service account need to work properly? One article states that it needs both Domain Admin permissions and local admin permissions (and this is a domain account by the way) and then another article states that it only needs domain users group permissions and the least amount of privledges possible.
Can anyone please tell me what is correct for installation and running the server? The more I read about this the more confused I get.
Please be patient as I am brand new to SQL.
Thank you very much!

I attempted to setup database mirroring using a High Availability scenario but when I installed SQL is chose to use local system accounts for all the services. Consequently, I stubled upon a microsoft article explaining how to setup mirroring using local system accounts and certificate authentication but I am stil not able to get it to work. When I try ti initiate the mirror from the mirror server I receive an error stating "Neither the partner nor the witness server instance for database "EDENLive" is available. Reissue the command when at least one of the instances becomes available." I have checked all the endpoints and everything seems to be in order. I even checked to make sure that each server was listening on the appropriate ports and I AM able to telnet to the ports. Please help!

Hi Folks SQL2k on NT4 Domain I have a UserDB on SvrA - Access to UserDB is Via a DomainGroup and is assigned db_owner role UserDB Executes a local SP which in turn Executes a remote SP on SvrB via a Linked Server The Linked Server Login Security is via mapping to a remote account which has db_owner on the remote DB. I would like to. a) stop ALL users on SvrA from being able to use this linked serverb) tightly restrict permissions of the remote account to the remote db Is it possible to MAP above local server login to remote server login as the local login is via a domain group. I cannot significantly alter UserDB current Login Security I'm also worried that another system/db is utilizing this Link (legally) but I'm not allowed on the production box to monitor it (Hhrummphh - but unfortunately I have the job of providing scripts to tighten security :rolleyes: - hence the prefference for mapping local to remote users I'm sorry I'm not well versed in SQL Security & this is only a central part of my bigger security job(involving horrible RPC's, dynamic SQL, heteregeounous joins, double hops, delegation etc) Any help appreciated GW

I have one domoain in the forest. The domain level is set to Windows 2000 native mode and forest level is set to mixed mode. My SQL server 2005 server joined to this domain. I added a brand new domain local group and add a normal user account to this domain local group. I login to the SQL server 2005 server and make a query "SELECT * FROM sys.login_token". I cannot see my domain local group in sys.login_token. However, if I add my account to a global group, I can see it there.
Then, I setup another forest. This time, I have domain level set to Windows 2003 mode and forest level is set to Windows 2003 native mode. I do the same testing. This time, I can see my domain local group in sys.login_token.
Why does SQL server 2005 has this limitation? Is it a bug?
