SqlServer2k is on the domain server
SqlServer2k is on a laptop too
I want to copy a database from the domain to the laptop over the network
using the copy database wizard.
I have done this before with no problem but this time I get the
following error:
Your SQL Server Service is running under the local system account. You
need to change your SQL Server Service account to have the rights to
copy files over the network.
I went into the properties of MSSQLSERVER under Services and
Applications and see no setting described.
Where do manage the SQL Server Service?

During install of SQL Server 2005, we can of course use a domain account or the built-in system account for running the services. I lean toward domain for obvious reaons but would like to know a +/- to each option and why I'd choose one over the other and what consequences or limitations one may encounter if I choose one over the other.
Hello! I have the following problem. I developed CLR Stored Procedure "StartNotification" and deploy it on db. This sp calls external web service. Furthermore, this sp is called according with SQL Server Agent Job's schedule. On my PC SQL Server works under Local System account and this web service is called correctly (Executed as user: NT AUTHORITYSYSTEM). But on ther other server the following exception is raised during job running: Date 17.04.2007 16:42:10 Log Job History (FailureNotificationJob)
Step ID 1 Server MSK-CDBPO-01 Job Name FailureNotificationJob Step Name MainStep Duration 00:00:00 Sql Severity 16 Sql Message ID 6522 Operator Emailed Operator Net sent Operator Paged Retries Attempted 0
Message Executed as user: CORPmssqlserver. A .NET Framework error occurred during execution of user defined routine or aggregate 'StartNotification': System.Security.SecurityException: Request for the permission of type 'System.Net.WebPermission, System, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089' failed. System.Security.SecurityException: at System.Security.CodeAccessSecurityEngine.Check(Object demand, StackCrawlMark& stackMark, Boolean isPermSet) at System.Security.CodeAccessPermission.Demand() at System.Net. The step failed.
What is the reason of this behaviour? Unfortunately I do not have direct access to this server. I have the following guesses: 1) CORPmssqlserver may have not enough permissions to call web service 2) Something wrong with SQL Server account's permissions 2) Something wrong with SQL Server Agent account's permissions I will take the will for the deed. Thanks.
Hi all, I do understand that it is highly recomended to have aserprate user (perfered a domain user account) for each of the SQL Server service and SQL Agent service. What is the reason behind that? (Someone told me to not run the service with an account that has a powerul privilegs! - I don't undrstanmd this point can you explain it please?) What is the diffrent between: 1- Local System account 2 -Network Service account
I have several DTS jobs that runs well as a job with my nt login account for the SQL agent service startup account, but if I use the System account they fail with this error. " Error opening datafile: Access is denied. Error source: Microsoft Data Transformation Services Flat File Rowset Provider"
The data has change access to the System account under the NT security.
We are debating whether to run the SQL Server service as Local System, a domain user without local admin rights, or a domain user with local admin rights. MSDN recommends local admin rights, but doesn't require them. I would like to get some idea of how the real world handles this. If you run as a local admin, how do you handle the security implications? And if you run without local admin rights, what gotchas have you run into with extended stored procs, replication, etc?
I have a SQL 2000 (SP3) running on a Windows NT 4.0 (SP6) box used in our test environment. The SQL Server was configured to run under the local system account before I got here. In an effort to standardize things, I tried changing the SQL Service account to run under a designated domain user account purpose built for the job. We use this particular account for all of our new-build servers (which are W2K). This domain account is configured to be a "Power User" on the NT 4.0 Server in question.
Soon after changing things over to run under the new account, all the developers complained that they could no longer connect to the server. I could through QA and EM, but none of the developers could.
The developers are using WebLogic and JDBC drivers for the most part. I wasn't aware that the SQL Server service account affected client connectivity. Was I wrong or is there something else at work here?
I have recently installed 2005 Standard and 2005 Reporting Services (on a separate server), today we built a service account for the SQL services in Active Directory. I planned to use SQL Configuration tools to change the account but it fails with the message:
'No mapping between account names and security IDs was done'
I ended up going through and following the manual steps outlined in KB article 283811 - http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;Q283811
But I am baffled and concerned as to why it failed.
Guys, I have got WINDOWS 2000 Advanced Server and MS SQL SERVER 7.0 running on my live server. Now when we are planning for replication, we have found that SQL server will require to run under a domain account. At the moment there are so many ASP pages running on our server accesses different databases created using SQL server 7.0. Most of them are DSN connections to the database. Now if i create a domain account and restart the server and MS SQL services with the domain account, how is it going to effect the current web pages running on it? Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks
Hi,I changed the login for MSSQLSERVER service for 6.5 box to "Thisaccount" from "system account" and then again changed back to "systemaccount". Now I cann't connect thru Enterprize Manager to my server.All my services r running and I can connect to my database thru anapplication as before. I cannot re-boot the machine as it is inproduction. Any thoughts?Thanks in advance.Subodh
SQL Server Browser listens on a UDP port and accepts unauthenticated requests using SQL Server Resolution Protocol (SSRP). SQL Server Browser should be run in the security context of a low-privileged user to minimize exposure to a malicious attack. By default, SQL Server Browser starts using the Local System account. The logon account can be changed by using the Windows Services program. The minimum user rights for SQL Server Browser are as follows:
* Deny access to this computer from the network. * Deny logon locally. * Deny logon as a batch job. * Deny logon through Terminal Services. * Log on as a service. * Read and write the SQL Server registry keys related to network communication (ports and pipes).
In our case the SQL Server Browser service is running under the same Windows account as our other SQL Server services. Do you recommend creating a separate Windows account for the SQL Server Browser service as described above?
Can you help me understand how an attack can occur?
I'm thinking of using SQL Server Agent Service for my PDA app. But, I want to use different accounts for SQL Server and SQL Server Agent Service. How can we do this in SQL Server 2005? Do we do this when installing it? Thanks
Hi, i tried to install MS SQL server 2000 in my XP system but during the setup service account installation, i tried to use a domain user account but it cannot validate my user name and password. I used my windows administrator logon account and password. Please help..thank you.
I'm trying to connect to a database using a service account that we got created. The ID is an AD account and was added to the db as such. When I try to connect to the database using the account with the password I get [login failed for domainid]. The DBA mentioned that its setup to use windows auth, however, I can't connect with this service account using windows Auth, due to I'm using to connect via code.
How can I connect to the database from my code using this ID?
I have the ID and pwd in my code to connect with, does the ID have to be setup differently in the Database?
I noticed when I restore a master database to a server other then the one which created the backup of master, SQL Server contains the following three local security groups that were defined on the source server. The problem is these groups are "local" and do not apply to the server where master was restored.
If you then backup the master database on an instance named MARKETING_PROD and restore it to MARKETING_TEST, the security folder on MARKETING _TEST will now contain the following three entries.
These entries would be invalid because no such server exists and therefor no such local groups exists. There appears to be no Microsoft documentation explaining how to handle these groups when restoring master from one server to another. My assumption is that whenever restoring master to another server you must drop these three groups and add the correct corresponding groups along with the appropriate permissions. I don't understand why SQL Server would not rebuild this information for you during a restore.
If you were to do a fresh install it would set permissions on the disk so everything just works.
Now when changing the service account (e.g. to a domain user) use the configuration manager, does it do the same magic (possibly sans if the database data/log files are on another disk)? Or do you need to trawl through the dozens of folders and assign rights manually?
Microsoft recommends that you do not use the Network Service account to run the SQL Server service (see http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms143504.aspx).
Can anyone tell me what the drawbacks are of doing this?
Okay now this is weird, today the Reporting Services was not running and here are the entries in the event log:
Event Type: Error Event Source: Service Control Manager Event Category: None Event ID: 7041 Date: 12/12/2007 Time: 9:47:22 User: N/A Computer: TFS Description: The ReportServer service was unable to log on as DOMAINTFSREPORTS with the currently configured password due to the following error: Logon failure: the user has not been granted the requested logon type at this computer.
Service: ReportServer Domain and account: DOMAINTFSREPORTS
This service account does not have the necessary user right "Log on as a service."
User Action
Assign "Log on as a service" to the service account on this computer. You can use Local Security Settings (Secpol.msc) to do this. If this computer is a node in a cluster, check that this user right is assigned to the Cluster service account on all nodes in the cluster.
If you have already assigned this user right to the service account, and the user right appears to be removed, a Group Policy object associated with this node might be removing the right. Check with your domain administrator to find out if this is happening. For more information, see Help and Support Center at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp
I am the administrator of the machines and I can assure you that no domain policy has changed for a couple of weeks. What should I look for?
How to change the SQL Server Express or SQL Server Agent service account programatically using C# 2.0 ? actually, I do know all the other methods like using SQL Server Configuration Manager in SQL Server 2005 or Manage My Computer dialoge. But I really need to do this using C# 2.0.
Why I need this? I want to do this as a part of an installation procedure to make the user able to backup his database anywhere with any priveleges. And I dont wanna him to do this manually as he is not an expert at all or even a novice.
hi.. i do not know which to choose when my installation comes to the service account page .. should i use the local system or write the domain user account ? i use domain user account .. but what is my domain ?
MSSQLServer and SQL Server Agent services under NT are running under a system account under our domain (setup many moons ago) for which we have lost the passsword. Is there any way we can recover these passwords?
I am trying to set properties on a SQL Server7, but when I get to the tab for 'Startup Service account', it is greyed out. Also, the same for properties for SQL Server Agent.
Why can't I change it?
To schedule jobs, and have SQL mail, don't I need to set up a Startup Service Account?
Has anyone ever converted from running SQL Server under the Local System account to running under a Domain User account?
I have often installed SQL using a Domain User account, but I am inheriting a couple of SQL Servers that were set up to run under Local System. I have never had to convert "on the fly" before.
If you have any input or insights, I would be grateful.
I just set up a SQL 2005 Server about a month ago that we will be moving all of our scattered DBs onto. I basically set it up with the default settings and didn't touch anything special, until I tried to install Microsoft System Center Essentials 2007 in our environment. I had problems getting it to use our SQL server, and a forum post told me to change all of the service accounts for SQL to use the LocalSystem login. So here are my service accounts:
SQL Server Integration Services - NT AUTHORITYNetworkService SQL Server FullText Search (MSSQLSERVER) - LocalSystem SQL Server (MSSQLSERVER) - LocalSystem SQL Server Analysis Services (MSSQLSERVER) - LocalSystem SQL Server Reporting Services (MSSQLSERVER) - LocalSystem SQL Server Browser - LocalSystem SQL Server Agent (MSSQLSERVER) - LocalSystem
So Sandisk makes this software called CMC. It's for controlling their enterprise USB drives. And their software won't install. It errors out saying that it couldn't drop the database on our SQL server (but it doesn't exist). If I make an empty DB by the same name, it sees it, and then errors out anyway. I am using the SA login for testing (I was using a purposed SQL account before) so I don't think it's a rights issue. Sandisk says it should work, and they suggested I use SQL server express. But we run VMs, and running SQL server in another VM is going to use more of our memory pool. Plus we want centralized backups and all that.
Do my service account logins have anything to do with it? Can someone tell me what these should be set to by default so I can change them back?
Here's a trace I did when I tried to install the software:
-- network protocol: TCP/IP set quoted_identifier on set arithabort off set numeric_roundabort off set ansi_warnings on set ansi_padding on set ansi_nulls on set concat_null_yields_null on set cursor_close_on_commit off set implicit_transactions off set language us_english set dateformat mdy set datefirst 7 set transaction isolation level read committed
set implicit_transactions on go drop database [CruzerDb] go IF @@TRANCOUNT > 0 ROLLBACK TRAN go
And here's more info if needed:

By default does CLR code run under the SQL Service Server account or the SQL Agent Service Account? Does anybody have a link to BOL or MSDN???
My assumption is its under SQL Server Service Account.
I'm trying to satisfy the DBA's security concerns in regards to CLR Code. If the account it runs under (Agent or service) has zero privliges will a dba still be able to maintain the server? Wouldnt all their backups work under a privilaged account that isnt the SQL Server Service Account?
I come from an Oracle background, and am having trouble getting to grips with SqlServer
I've installed SqlServer 2005 and created a Database called Midas, which is owned by SA
I've created a login called ServiceAccount. I want this login to have 'select', 'update' and 'insert' permission on specific tables in the Midas database. How do I do this?
I understand Sql Server Integration Services by default uses"NT AuthorityNetwork Service" account as service account. Is running SSIS using "NT AuthorityNetwork Service" account is good or should we create a domain account to run the SSIS service.
On the screen "Service Account" during SQL 2005 Developer Edition, I am choosing built-in System Account = Local System and uncheck the Customzie for each service account. that means, that this system account is set to all services,
I am trying to install an SQL Express 2005 instance and have the built-in system account set to "Local system" because I was having some security issues while trying to attach a database. Is there a command line switch that will allow me to do this?
If there isn't then I will have to make sure the clients uncheck the "Hide advanced settings" checkbox and I would rather not have them do anything but hit the next button.
I am installing RS2005 on Windows server 2000 with IIS 5.0. Everything is fine in configuration tool except service account. It is empty. I have added ASPNET account in reportservice user group and tried to add <machinename>ASPNET to <WebServiceAccount>. It is still empty. Any idea?
