SQL Cluster Domain Move Issues

Nov 10, 2006



We have:

A Microsoft cluster, (SQL Failover cluster) with one node as the domain controller. The cluster was built off site and the domain name used is the same as our existing domain where we eventually need to install this cluster.

We need: (At least I think we need:)

To remove node 2 from the "cluster domain", DCPROMO node 1 and eliminate the "cluster domain". We then need to join the cluster (nodes) to the existing domain. We also need to recreate the accounts/groups used during installation.

Questions:

1) What adverse impact will the removal of the "cluster domain" have on the security groups/accounts used in the installation?

2) Will I have to re-install SQL 2005?

3) Is my paranoia real or imagined? (Will Elvis live?) Am I on the right track or totally off base?

Any prior experience with this would be greatly appreciated. In fact, a WAG is appreciated too.



Regards,

Mike

SQL 2K Move To New Domain

Jan 15, 2007

I have SQL 2000 running on windows 2000 using NT4 authentication all my users authenticate to the NT4 including their access to SQL 2000, we are moving to a new domain using windows 2003 server and Active Direcory.

We will be a an OU in a much larger domain (about 30K users) since we need to be able to be up and running with ability to authenticate and run all our apps including SQL server authentication in the event we loose our connectivity to the rest of the world should a natural disaster hit us.

Here is my dilema, when I see my users in SQL security they all have domainuserdID where the domain is my old domain.

How do I move all my SQL users with their rights to the new Windows2K3 SQL server that will authenticate to a Windows2K3 Active Directory.

I have 300 users and I do not want to have to create each one all over again in SQL, they allready exist in Active Directory I migrated all the users last week but i still have them authenticating to the old domain till I can resolve the SQL issue.

What is an easy and proper way to what I need to do

Thanks

Move SQL 2000 Server From Workgroup To A Domain

Aug 24, 2006

I have been asked to move a system running MS SQL 2000 Server from a workgroup to a domain. The SQL server is running in SQL Authentication and the services are running as local system.

Will SQL Server break after the move?

Any advice will help. I thought I remember this being the case, but possibly only with Windows Authentication.

Cluster On Workgroup And Then Domain

Sep 26, 2005

We have a set of client servers which will include a SQL Server 2000 active/passive cluster attached to a SAN. We have all the equipment here (no attachment to client site) to configure. My worry is since it will have to be setup as a workgroup, and then shipped to client to add to their domain, is this a doable option. has anyone had to do this or tried this? Or would we be better off shipping whole thing to client and setting up cluster there?

Changing The Domain Of A SQL 2005 Cluster

Aug 28, 2006

I know it's not possible, I've read the KBs. But I don't understand why not - from my testing, it looks like the only things that break are the domain groups to which the service logins are added. The service logins can be changed, as can the IPs, and SQL starts up just fine. The only problem is the domain groups.

I saw this KB:

http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=910708

which says this:


After you install a SQL Server 2005 failover cluster, you can change the service accounts, but you cannot change the domain groups. If you want to use different domain groups, you must uninstall and then reinstall SQL Server 2005.

But it doesn't elaborate, it just says that the groups cannot be changed. Why not? That seems silly to me - it's not just a line in a config file somewhere? Can someone please give me a good reason why the groups cannot be changed?

MSDTC Cannot Move On A Cluster

Aug 9, 2006

Today we installed on MS Cluster (W2k3) and SQL Server 2000 a MSDTC Service. The installation was succesfull, but wenn we try to move the group, then it failed. Because we have only 2 Disks on the cluster one for the Quorum, the other for the Sql Server. We installed the MSDTC as a Resource on the Quorum Disk. The other Thing, wenn we start the firts node all is running on the first node, but we cannot move. Wenn we start the second node all is running on the second node, but we cannot move the Group which contain the Msdtc resource.

Who has a solution to this problem??



Thanks to all

How To Move Masterdb On A 2005 Cluster?

Nov 14, 2006

I found instructions on msdn for moving the system databases. However I am worried that in a cluster which is active/passive, when I shut down the instance the other instance will take over. Is there a way to take the other server off line to do the move and then bring it back online after we've moved everything? Has anyone done this before?

Move Instance From Cluster To Stand Alone?

Aug 14, 2015

I have a SQL 2008 R2 2 node cluster.  For DR testing, I need to restore an instance on a new server (completely isolated).  The existing instance runs on what I would call an alias.  The actual cluster host name is SQLPROD (cluster nodes are SQL01 and SQL02).  The instance runs on server SQLPROD-APPLE.  The instance is called APPLE.  In production, I use SQL Management Studio and I connect to SQLPROD-APPLEAPPLE.

I've setup a new VM to run SQL.  Not a cluster.  Host name is SQLREC.  The new Vm has all the IP addresses that were on the cluster and the DNS for all the aliases are correct.  I've installed instance APPLE.  I created an alias called SQLPROD-APPLE.  When I try to open SQL Management Studio and connect, I can't connect to SQLPROD-APPLEAPPLE.  I can connect to localhostAPPLE, SQLRECAPPLE, 192.168.168.50APPLE.

When I attempt to connect to the alias I get error 18452.  Pinging the alias resolves correctly.  I haven't gotten to the database restore yet, so that's not a concern.  I'm just trying to validate the connection first with the correct server and instance names.

I'm using Windows Authentication.

2>should I uninstall sql cluster on both nodes then windows will destroy OS cluster and they then they need to change IP,hostname and domain and then fresh installation of sql cluster

SP2 Fails On Cluster - Domain Group Cannot Be Validated For The Service Full-Text Search

Jul 10, 2007

Greetings,

I'm totally stuck on this issue and would really appreciate any advice. Here's what's going on...

I'm trying to install SP2 on a SQL 2005 Std x64 cluster and all the components upgrade except the DB Engine, which fails with this error saying the domain group (not the service account) could not be validated for the full-text search service.

I've rebooted both nodes. I've verified that the domain group exists. I even removed the full text search component and I still get the same error.

I've reviewed this: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/915846
But the ftsgroup registry value mentioned does not exists. I assume it only shows up after sp2 is installed.

Interestingly, I couldn't uninstall full-text search unless I passed the FTSCLUSTERGROUP parameter to the setup.exe command line remove command.

The OS is Windows Server 2003 Ent x64 SP2. Not a domain controller. I'm upgrading from the RTM version of SQL Server.

I've posted the relevant parts of the summary and log files below.

Thanks in advance for any ideas!

- Chris

User On Trusted Domain Does Have Permission To Access Linked Server On AD Deployed In Another Domain

Sep 28, 2007

Hi,
We have the followoing:

-A "master domain" AD, a "sub domain" AD, a trust relationship between the two (sub trust master)
-A sql server 2005 on a win server 2003 in "sub domain" AD
-A linked server to "sub domain" AD
-A linked server login using a "sub domain" admin acccount
-A view to this linked server
-A grant on masterDomain/Domain Users to the database
-A grant on subDomain/Domain Users to the database
-We want all connections done through "Windows Authentication" not "Database Authentication".

Queries on the view work fine using "sub domain" user accounts.
Queries on the view fail using "master domain" user accounts (including master domain admin accounts)


"Msg 7399, Level 16, State 1, Line 1

The OLE DB provider "ADsDSOObject" for linked server "ADSI" reported an error. The provider indicates that the user did not have the permission to perform the operation."

All connections are done through "Windows Authentication" not "Database Authentication".

Can we establish cross domain connectivity with "Windows Authentication" ?


Below are details of the implementation:

SELECT TOP (100) PERCENT *
FROM OPENQUERY(ADSI,
'SELECT displayname, givenName, sn, cn (etc...)
FROM ''LDAP://OU=PEOPLE,DC=subDomain,DC=com''
WHERE objectCategory = ''Person'' AND objectClass = ''user'' ')

EXEC sp_addlinkedsrvlogin @rmtsrvname ='ADSI', @useself='false',
@rmtuser='subDomainAdminAccnt', @rmtpassword='sunDomainAdminAccntPassword';

In SQL Server Mngt Studio in Server Objects/Linked Servers/Providers/ ADSI properties security tab I have:

"connections will: <be made using this security context> Remote login:'subDomainAdminAccnt' With password: 'subDomainAdminAccntPassword'

Error:
Msg 7399, Level 16, State 1, Line 1

The OLE DB provider "ADsDSOObject" for linked server "ADSI" reported an error. The provider indicates that the user did not have the permission to perform the operation.

Msg 7320, Level 16, State 2, Line 1

Cannot execute the query "SELECT displayname, givenName, sn, cn

FROM 'LDAP://OU=PEOPLE,DC=subDomain,DC=com'

WHERE

objectCategory = 'Person'

AND objectClass = 'user'

" against OLE DB provider "ADsDSOObject" for linked server "ADSI".

Problems With Change Sql Permissions After Migrating Domain User/group Accounts Into Root Domain

Apr 5, 2007

I have a root domain and child domain.



After using ADMT to migrate the domain user or group into the root domain, when I use enterprise manager to try and change the permissions allocated to that domain user/group, i get the 'Error 15401 NT user or Group not found'.



This is a correct error as the user is now in the root domain, however sql (in sysxlogins) still thinks its in the child domain.



Is there a simpler way, other than collecting the users permissions, deleting the user from SQL then adding back in with the correct domainusername format, then adding the permissions back?



I tried renaming the 'name' in sysxlogins (not recommended) and while that worked, whenever I tried to add the migrated user to another database, the login name was missing and would not resolve.



I believe it is something to do with the SID not matching.



Any ideas on how to fix this ?

SQL Security :: Domain Migration Altered SA Or Domain Admin Access To DBs

we recently migrated from our in-house domain to the Enterprise domain. Everything went smooth except for the fact that I can no longer accept my dBs using my SA or my domain admin account. There is only 1 account I can get into the management studio with but it has no admin privileges, so I can't make any  password changes or add accounts. I don't have a test environment so kind of hesitant to experiment with our production system.

- I have try following the KB265808 - no success.
- Reading alot of blogs and it seems all are pointing to the same problem. "Remote access" but the settign is enabled.Error Message:

TITLE: Connect to Server

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:

An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server. When connecting to SQL Server 2005, this failure may be caused by the fact that under the default settings SQL Server does not allow remote connections.

For help, click: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink?ProdName=Microsoft+SQL+Server&EvtSrc=MSSQLServer&EvtID=53&LinkId=20476


Question: Could Windows 2003 security be blocking access? I'm using sa account to access.

Also, sa account does not seems to work for remote access. It is ok when accessing locally.

Any help would be appreciated.

How To Upgrade SQL Server 2000 Cluster To SQL Server 2005 Cluster(Database)

May 8, 2007

Hi



We are planning to upgrade the SQL Server in our production environment from SQL Server 2000 to SQL Server 2005. This is a 4 Node cluster environment with 3 Databases on 3 Virtual instances. The main requirement is to achieve this with no/minimal downtime.



Could you please suggest or direct me to any documentation for the best practices used to upgrade such an environment?



Thanks

Priyanka
