View 2 Replies View RelatedDefault Password For System Administrator
Nov 16, 2007We recently downloaded and installed SQL Express as it was a required program for our new database management software. When trying to install my database management software I was asked to Login to the SQL server. I entered the SQLEXPRESS server, however, I do not have the SA password. When SQL Express installed it did not ask for a password only for a user name and company. I am running Windows Small Business Server with the Administrator and no password. We did not assign a password to the Administrator account yet.
I have tried to leave the password blank using the login SA and I get error message 28000 Login failed for user. The user is not associated with a trusted SQL Server Connection.
Is there a default password for SA? Or in the alternative, how do I create a user or associate an exising Windows user with a trusted SQL server connection?

SQL Service Failuer After Administrator Password Change
Sep 24, 1999Hopefully, someone has a clue about this. We recently upgraded from SQL 6.5 to 7.0. Everything was fine until we changed the administrator
password for our NT domain, which has about 26 servers on it. We also changed the local NT domain on the SQL server machine to match the
network NT domain password. This seemed to work until a reboot a couple of days later. No we get a "failure to start do to logon failuer" message.
Anyone experienced this problem?
Changing The Administrator Password MURDERED My Reports!
Nov 18, 2007Hi. I changed the Administrators Login password on my web & data base servers, both of which are hosted on Windows Server 2003 and run iis6. This caused the reports (I'm using 2005 Reporting services) to stop running. Rather I get the error: "The request failed with HTTP status 401: Unauthorized"
I made the necessary adjustments to the web.config and the reports just won't run. I have been struggling over this all day. Can anyone offer me some advice?
Thanks

SQL 2012 :: SA Password Reset Recovery
Jun 29, 20153rd party company set up SQL 2008 R2 SP1(awhile ago, years), they disabled SA no other logon was created with Admin rights, Database is Mixed Mode, never had a DBA. the database is from a Transactional system. Now comes me. I need to set up backups, maintenance etc..
I have been provided System AdminLocal Admin rights on the Server. The Server has been set up like a Domain Controller. I have tried all of the command line options that I know and I can find. I have not been able to get any to work, they all fail login to SQL. Before I take the route of reinstalling SQL on the server I want to make sure I haven't missed any thing, especially since this is a 100% production environment with 3rd party processes and applications attached that are not documented or supported. (nightmare)
I would prefer a cmdline or PowerShell script (ps2).I figure that the holiday is coming up so whatever I will end up needing to do I will be able to complete over the holiday weekend when it is down.
One set I tried as "run as Admin"
SQLServr.Exe –m
SQLCMD –S <Server_NameInstance_Name>
CREATE LOGIN ‘<Login_Name>’ with PASSWORD=’<Password>’
GO
SP_ADDSRVROLEMEMBER '<Login_Name>','SYSADMIN'
I should point out the rest of our environments are SQL 2012

View 3 Replies View RelatedBUILTINAdministrators Vs System Administrator
Feb 13, 2007Hello all,
does someone know where to find information regarding what is accesible to a BUILTINAdministrator which is not accesible to a System Administrator?
Somewhere I have read that a System Administrator can not see the "All users' folders (i.e. the collection of "My folder"s for all users of the Report Server) but I have also experienced a behaviour which has surprised me: as a System Administrator with all permissions I cann't even see folders that a BUILTINAdministrator can.
Does it mean that a System Administrator can not really manage all the resources of a Report Server?
Any ideas will be welcomed. Many thanks.
HELP! Reset Dbo Login Id Password, Cannot Get Company Website Up
Mar 2, 2007Our company website runs off of Microsoft SQL Server. Someone tried changing the 'administrative' password but the way that they did it locks us out of the database.
Under Enterprise Manager there is a Security group, underneath here is a login. The person reset the password here on the login id that is the DBO for our website's database. Underneath the database in Enterprise Manager the dbo uses this login id. Where else does the password need to get reset in order for that login id to access the database? We cannot set it back to the previous password because it is unknown.
When we go to our website we get the following error:
Error Executing Database Query.
[Macromedia][SQLServer JDBC Driver]Error establishing socket. Connection refused: connect
Please try the following:
Enable Robust Exception Information to provide greater detail about the source of errors. In the Administrator, click Debugging & Logging > Debugging Settings, and select the Robust Exception Information option.

View 1 Replies View RelatedOnly A System Administrator Can Reassign Ownership
Jan 30, 2007Hi guys,
I am new to this forum and new to SQL.
I have a stored procedure which sets the value of a variable (@owner_logon_name, type sysname) to sa. It then calls sp_add_job in the msdb database, which in turn calls numerous other stored procedures. The ASP page I post down to the server is coming back with an internal server error and the log file shows the following message:
"Only a system administrator can reassign ownership of a job."
Even though the login name was set to sa, it seems to be using another role.
The code I have in my sp is:
exec @ReturnCode = msdb.dbo.sp_add_job @job_id = @JobID output ,
@job_name = @JobName,
@owner_login_name = sa,
@description etc, etc
Can anyone think why it would do this? An explanation of how sp_add_job works would also be much apprciated.

Programming Babe In A System Administrator's Woods!
Nov 11, 1999I posted this topic and got not response, but I'm pretty desperate so I'll try one more time.
I'm a programmer at a small company but for the past year I've also been relagated to SysAdmin (fun, fun, fun). We less than 25 users (usually no more than 10-15 at one time). We run NT server on a P133, 64MB RAM, 3.5MB & 2.5MB SCUSI hard drives. We run SQL Server on dual P133's, 98MB RAM, 4MB & 2MB SCUSI hard drives. Our systems are pretty junky, they were bought at Microcenter a couple of years ago and some other machines we had bought about the same time have begun dying left and right. Our Server is very slow and we're afraid it's going to poop out on us soon.
I've been put in charge of taking care of this. "Get us a new server, and don't spend too much money." Being a programmer, not and administrator, I have a few questions:
1. Can I buy 1 good server to replace these two? That would mean running our NT File Server and our SQL Server (on NT of course) on the same box. Is that bad or can I do that? The only thing the NT Server is used for is file sharing (mostly images). No applications, no exchange (although maybe in the future), no internet. 2. If yes, should I go with a really fast desktop with a few ATA/66 drives, a smoking chip, tons of memory. Or, should I get a true server with SCUSI drives, ECC memory, RAID capable and all that. Essentially is it better to get a smoking desktop or a lower end/entry level server?
3. I don't quite understand RAID, do I need it? If so, what is it? We need to backup or data somehow.
4. Anything else you think I'll need? Or, could some list some minimum specs?
5. How much should this cost me?
Our main concern is the SQL Server running fast enough. We have a custom Accounting/Order/Inventory system (Access97-front/SQL-Back end ). The database is about 200MB and growing and the largest table has about 100,000 records and we anticipate about 20,000 records a year in that table. We also store tons of images (art company) on our file server and we would like to link our SQL inventory records to those image files.
I'm really kind of in over my head with the administration but the pressure is on. They want me to do this instead of outsourcing and they want to keep in the <=$3500 range (Server & Backup System). Any help or advice of any kind would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

MSDTC Fails On Windows 2003 But Security Has Been Reset So It's Not That.
May 12, 2004I am running SQL Server 2000 (clustered server) with Windows 2003. For some reason MSDTC is failing on distributed transactions. I can run code that begins and commits a transaction from query analyzer, or run a stored procedure from Query Analyzer with the same code in it and both work great, but if I call the stored procedure from a DTS job, then the job fails with the following error:

How To Prevent System Administrator To View And Edit A Database Structure And Data
Dec 26, 2007I represent a software development house and we have developed a client server system based on SQL Server. Most of our customers have already purchased Enterprise License of SQL Server, therefore they own the SA Login and Password. We are bound to attach our Database with their Server on their machine.
My question is how can we stop a System Administrator of SQL Server to view our Database Structure, Queries, Data installed on their SQL Server on their machine.
Our database structure is a trade secret and we cant reveal the structure to the client.
please answer this question by email to me at farhandotcom@gmail.com
