I read in Computer Weekly (Jan 6th 2000) about a bug in SQL Server 7. This means that any user can get hold of the administrator (sa) password.
Does anyone know anything more about this ??
thanks

View 2 Replies View RelatedWe 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?
Hopefully, 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?
Hi. 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

I have inherited a sql server and no one knows the SA password. I cannot login with windows authentication even if the account is administrator of the machine.
View 4 Replies View RelatedPlease help! I am new in SQL Server 2000 Administration. My manager had ask me to manage a SQL Server, but Windows Adminstrator refuse to give me Local Admin rights. I only have sa account to login to databases. I don't know any excuses or reasons to give to Windows Adminstrator so that he can give me the local admin rights. If any one have this answer, please help. Thank you.

We are trying to set up SQLAgent Proxy account. If the SQLServer service id is a domain admin, do we still have to add it to the local administrators group?

I have a package protected by a password - I am already unhappy that to get it to use the configuration file to change connection strings for the production servers I have had to hardcode the password into the config file - very insecure!
However, the package now deploys correctly to the production server and will run from there OK, but NOT if scheduled as a SQL Server Agent Job. Thus is because however often I edit the command line to include the password after the DECRYPT switch (which it has prompted me for when I click on the command line tab), the Job Step will not retain it.
If I open it up after I have edited it and closed it, the password has disappeared.
I know that if I run dtexec plus the code in the Command Line tab (with the password), the package runs OK.
This is driving me insane!
I have read all the other posts and so I tried replacing the SSIS package step with a CmdExec step and pasting that code into there - then I get an OLEDB error..
The code I use is:
DTEXEC /SQL "ImportRateMonitoringTables" /SERVER servername /DECRYPT password /CONFIGFILE "D:Microsoft SQL ServerSSISDeploymentsRateMonitoringImportTasksDeploymentImportRateMonitoringTables_Production.dtsConfig" /MAXCONCURRENT " -1 " /CHECKPOINTING OFF /REPORTING E
and I get
SSIS Error Code DTS_E_OLEDBERROR. An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x8000FFFF
although the same code executes perfectly from a command prompt.
Please does anyone have any experience with a similar problem and if so, how did you get round it?
Thank you
I tried to install an ALLDATA database which run with SQL Server 2005 express edition. The data base fails to install becase of the following code that come up which is related to AS password requirement. The error that come up is:

I've installed this on my server and I can control a SQL Database located on a remote server (networked together via Cross Over) but when accessing from the Web it keeps prompting me with a Windows Log In.
Does anyone know how I can prevent this so that the web page displays and we can enter our SQL information to log in using SQL Authentication.
Thanks.
The SQL Server Web Data Administrator enables you to easily manage your SQL Server data, wherever you are. Using its built-in features, you can do the following from Microsoft Internet Explorer or your favorite Web browser:
1. Create and edit databases in SQL Server 2000 or Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Desktop Engine (MSDE 2000)
2. Perform ad-hoc queries against databases and save them to your file system
3. Export and import database schema and data
4. Manage users and roles
5. View, create and edit stored procedures
Whether you are doing Microsoft Windows or Web development, or just need remote access to data for yourself or your clients, the Web Data Administrator is the perfect complement to your toolbox.
So Get it HERE (http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=C039A798-C57A-419E-ACBC-2A332CB7F959&displaylang=en)
I have installed Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Desktop Engine (MSDE 2000) and the SQL Server Web Data Administrator. After I run the SQL Server Web Data Administrator it
is asking me for login and password. How can I determine my login and password? Thank you.
Is it possible to install this on a remote web server and set it to use SQL accounts? I installed this on my host and it keeps prompting me for a windows user name and password.
Any instructions on how to do this would be appreciated.

I'm so sorry if this is a stupid question. I'm experienced PHP/MySQL developer, but this is my first SQL Server project, I'm really not familiar with Microsoft development tools at all. I have Visual Studio .NET installed. I've just downloaded and installed SQL Server Web Data Administrator. There was no errors during the installation, but when I'm trying to use it to connect to the database I had set up on the hosting server, I get the error message below:

Hello,
There is a SQL Server databse installed in my machine.
I want to modify a data in a table.
How can I access the data with ODBC Administration?
Thanks
I want to connect to company's SQL Server from home and to connect to home's SQL server from company remotely.
The new released SQL Server Web Data Administrator by Microsoft seems solving my issue.
I use it to connect to different SQL servers in different domains company wide successfully, but I failed to connect to home from company( I have static IP on the home server).
Also I want to know how to configure the sever name if I want to connect to company's SQL Server from home. The company SQL server is inside the firewall with a internal IP. How it works?
Any ideas?
Thanks!
After installing SSMS on some computers - the only way we can get SSMS to run correctly is to run it as the administrator. Is there a way where you don't have to do that? These end users are logging as themselves and have accounts in SQL Server all set up - but SSMS will only launch for them if we right click and select "run as administrator".After doing some digging - it seems that this is a common problem out there.
View 3 Replies View RelatedWe have an audit happening on our DB environments. All are SQL2008R2. One of the risk highlighed is DBAs are also part of 'Administrators' group on the server. The DBAs having sysadmin (ie full control)on SQL server is not a risk but DBAs included in 'Administators' group is termed as risk.
My question is do the DBAs really need to be Administrator on the box apart from Sysadmins??. If yes,What are the scenarios in which DBA group also need to be an administrator on the box to manage daily admin activities.
Sql server driver missing from odbc administrator;
Software; SQL Server 2005 SP2 installed on W23K SP1.
Under Drivers tab in odbc administrator the sql server that uses sqlsrv32.dll, is missing. All the other drivers that comes with W2K3 Service pack1 is there. In addition i can see the SQL Native Client(SQLNCLI.DLL).
I have an application that has to use SQL Server Driver. How can i get it back?

Do DBAs need OS Administrator rights to Manage SQL Server? I suspect the answer is no, but, the DBAs tell me that they cannot do their jobs without OS admin rights.
Can someone point me to documentation detailing what OS level rights are needed by SQL Server DBAs?

Hi,
Can any of you tell me how to create a login in SQL Server 6.5 with System Administrator privileges, like we can do with SQL 7 or SQL 2000 ? I don't want to use the sa login.

If i install the SQL Server Express and the Management Studio in my computer with an administrator account... can a non-administrator user run the SQL Server Management Studio Express ?
When the non-administrator user tries run the SSEMS, he gets an error, something like "Cannot load the SQL Management Studio Package".
Can i set several permissions to let non-administrator users run the SSEMS ?

Hi All,
We're deploying an app. using a MSSQL Server 2005 (Std. Ed.).
In order to install an ODBC driver for the DB, we've made the installation of Sqlncli.msi part of the package.
It will not run - unless user has Admin priv.s on the klient PC targeted.
Does any one have any experience w. other ways of installing the sql native client (like MDAC) - og just an idea about circumventing the Admin rights problem?

I have an internal Project Management and Scheduling app that I wrote internally for my company. It was written to use MySQL running on a Debian server, but I am going to move it to SQL Server 2000 and integrate it with our Accounting software. The part I am having trouble with is the user login portion. I previously used this:
PHP Code:
$sql = "SELECT * FROM users WHERE username = "$username" AND user_password = password("$password")";
Apparently the password() function is not available when accessing SQL Server via ODBC. Is there an equivalent function I could use isntead so the passwords arent plaintext in the database? I only have 15 people using the system so a blank pwd reset wouldn't be too much trouble.
I have connected to Database using my credentials by checking remember password option. After few days I forgot my password. How can I recover the password as SQL remember it. Is there any way to recover my password instead of resetting it.

I have four servers all running SQL Server 2005 SP2 on Windows 2003 Ent. SP1. Of the four servers, only one received the above error message using the same TSQL below.
CREATE LOGIN TEST_LOGIN WITH PASSWORD = 'pvif9dal' MUST_CHANGE, CHECK_EXPIRATION = ON
All four servers are in the same domain, which if I understand correctly, the password policies are therefore inherited at the OS level by the domain. The password being used is within the password policies of the domain.
Any ideas as to a root cause?
Hi all,
I have SQL Server Express and VB 2005 Express installed in a Microsoft Windows XP Pro PC that is a terminal PC in our office Network. My Network Administrator has granted my terminal PC for Administrator Use. I tried to do the ADO.NET 2.0-VB 2005 programming in my terminal PC and I could not get a remote connection in the Window Form Application via Window Authorization. I do not know how to make this kind of remote connection in my Network. Please help and advise.

Hi Everyone,
I am new to sql server. I would like to now how to add somebody as an administrator so that he/she can connect to my instances. what is the easiest way to do it>? thanks....
On the login prompt for Report Server, there is a checkbox option to "Remember my Password." I check this, login successfully... but when returning to the Report Server, I am again prompted for the password, although the user name is saved. No matter how many times I do this, the password will not save in IE7. I have tried this on 3 different computers with IE7. In IE 6, I do not even get the checkbox as an option, just the user name/password prompt. In Firefox, the password saves fine. Any ideas what would be causing this?
Thanks,
Brian
