I've just been looking at a new 2005 install and found 3 logins:
SERV1SQLServer2005SQLAgentUser$SERV1$MSSQLSERVER
SERV1SQLServer2005MSSQLUser$SERV1$MSSQLSERVER
SERV1SQLServer2005MSFTEUser$SERV1$MSSQLSERVER
Are these logins created during the install of SQLServer2005 by default
and what are they used for ? Can they be deleted safely ? If they are
required, can the names be set during install to something else ?
TIA
Laurence Breeze
Do we still need the below service accounts in SQL 2008+ version even if we have proper SQL service accounts added in the logins?
[NT AUTHORITYSYSTEM]
[NT ServiceMSSQLSERVER]
[NT SERVICEReportServer]
[NT SERVICESQLSERVERAGENT]
[NT SERVICESQLWriter]
[NT SERVICEWinmgmt]
Hi:
from SQL2005 information_schema, I don't see anything related to default constraint.
So, I still need the old way to use old stuff such as
from sysobjects sobj inner join syscolumns scolumn.
I need to check existing 3000 databases to drop any possible default for tableA.columnB's default and then add a new one.
I thought SQL2005 will stop let us to query system table to retrieve table structure info including default, but only via information_schema? :rolleyes:
thanks

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?
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 am not sure yet if this is an issue with sql, php or phpbb
php is installed in iis and has all the modules installed which the php msi installer supported. i can run php code but in this case when i'm running the install.php file for the phphbb setup, i fill in the values for the database and got that error
phpbb detects all the required server settings and sees that i have ms sql installed
any suggestions on what that error means or how to go about configuring odbc driver?
probably a simple issue. but i'm still new with sql stuff
I have a server with sql server 2005 installed as the default instance -- I have a piece of software that needs SQL2000 to be the default instance. Is there a way other than install new sql2005 named instance and move databases to rename my SQL2005 instance from <machinename> to <machinename>sql05 for example?

I just upgraded my SQL 2000 server to SQL2005. I forked out all that money, and now it takes 4~5 seconds for a webpage to load. You can see for yourself. It's pathetic. When I ran SQL2000, i was getting instant results on any webpage. I can't find any tool to optimize the tables or databases. And when I used caused SQL Server to use 100% cpu and 500+MB of ram. I can't have this.Can anyone give me some tips as to why SQL 2005 is so slow?

I am unable to install 32-bit SQL Server Integration Services on the server due to something that was left behind by the 64-bit version.
I've uninstalled SQL Server 2005 64-bit and when I try to install the 32-bit version of Integration Services, I get this error: "Failed to install and configure assemblies C:Program Files (x86)Microsoft SQL Server90DTSTasksMicrosoft.SqlServer.MSMQTask.dll in the COM+ catalog. Error: -2146233087 Error message: Unknown error 0x80131501 Error descrition: FATAL: Could not find component 'Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Task.MessageQueueTask.ServCompMQTask' we just installed."

Hello,
I have a vb program that include a dts package that has been saved to vb with sql2000 dts wizard and works very good.
Now that I upgrade my website to sql2005, this vb dts package doesn't work.
The error I get is:
Microsoft Data Transformation Services (DTS) Package
Invalid STDGMEDIUM structure
(Microsoft Data Transformation Services (DTS) Package (80040066): Invalid STDGMEDIUM structure
) (Microsoft SQL-DMO (ODBC SQLState: 42000) (80004005): [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]Incorrect syntax near ')'.)
I searched in the internet how to make dts package in sql2005 and save it to vb and found no information about it.
What Can I do to get the vb code of the dts package I create in sql2005 or how do i migrage the sql2000 vb dts package code to sql2005?
Thanks,

Hi,
How can i code a SQL statement that will return the top 20 accounts from a huge client table?

I am setting up Replication and have a question about what's considered best practice for the accounts that will be running the replication agents. Microsoft says, "Run each replication agent under a different Windows account, and use Windows Authentication for all replication agent connections." What they don't say is whether these accounts are local accounts or domain accounts.
Which should I use/create, domain accounts or local accounts?
The following error keeps being reported in the Domain Controller Logs:
"There are multiple accounts with name MSSQLSvc/....."
Im pretty new to DBA world
We have a SQL2005 Standard setup with mirror and witness
I create a Database in the Principle, create a SQLLogon account and give it permission to the database. All works.
I then fail the databse over to SQL2 and the database is there, it has the SQLAccount I create at the database level, but a logon does not work. I notice there is not login account at the database level and If I attempt to create one, I am told there is one already. I try to assign permission to that account for the database and it again replys that there is already on.
Is this refered to as an orphaned logon?
I was a post on Moving logins from on server to another, is that what I must do?
THank you
I have some production boxes on Win 2000 32-bits OS and some production servers have been upgraded to Win2003 64-bit OS runing SQL Server 2005. There are also a number of Win2003 32-bit OS running SQL 2005.
The issue is that when linking the 64-bit production servers to the 32-bit boxes running SQL 2005 / Win 2003 OS, the linking seems to succeed, but I am unable to see a number of entries in sys.objects. Typically, these objects are User Stored Procedures.
Moreover, the linking seemed to have worked, but data extraction does not take place between the servers. However, there are no errors. The objects (user stored procs) exist on the 64-bit side, but linking does not actually happen.
Microsoft KB has addressed this in SQL 2000 case in this KB article, but has not suggested a solution for SQL 2005.
Any ideas? Has anyone else encountered this?
Thanks.
When creating a login account, it is associated with a default database.
Is it then necessary to grantdbaccess to the default database?
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.

Seems only a few of us are experimenting with WSS 3.0 and RSS 2005 (requires sp2 ctp). I've gotten just so far after battling several installation problems. Only Brian Welcker and Spyuta (sp?) have been active here or on their blogs about this. While the instructions are good at the RSS addin for sharepoint page, http://download.microsoft.com/download/f/2/5/f250ed72-c102-4216-8653-63189e24fa02/readme_rsaddin.htm, there are some notable word mismatches. Under the section "Install the Reporting Services Add-in and Configure the Report Server on the SharePoint Technology Instance" they refer to granting accounts access to the database, which is labelled, 'add trusted accounts'.
This is as far as I can go because within that step there is a dialog prompting for credentials and no matter what I use, domain, local, whatever, the page displays a warning in red above the server name that says 'Some or all identity references could not be translated' And so it seems that is where I'm stuck.
If I change the server name in the page to an IP number, then I get this warning instead:
Report Server is not running on the same machine as SharePoint and Report Server is configured to run as a machine account. This is not a supported configuration in CTP2
Both of these assumptions are untrue. My report server is running side by side, and I have changed the port number in the rsconfig file. I try using the port number along with the ip number or machine name, but then I just get:
A connection to the computer cannot be established
Banging my head on this long enough, I now go back to the 'Integration setttings' page and change the authentication mode from Windows authentication to Trusted account. Now I redo the 'Add trusted account' page and it seems to go through without an issue. (whoa, I just ignored the directions and did the opposite)
I check the domain account used as service account for all of the above and I see it has been granted dbo and RSExecRole for the WSS/RS integrated database.
Now I can move ahead and actually see how the RSS integration with WSS 3.0 works. Of particular interest is deploying already created reports that I had appearing in the report manager web app before creating the integrated RSS database.
Hi,
Please could someone let me know what the minimum Server and Database roles are for an Account to use SMO to create further accounts, using SQLSever accounts and not Windows authentication.
I'm finding it hard to find the right documentation.... Could someone give me a link into SQ Server Books 2005 (Express) online, that explains SQL Server security from the ground up. ie What all the roles are for etc.
Thanks

Hi ,
From many web pages it is suggested to use windows accounts for merge replication and then using the same in SQL login also.
If there are 1000 users , should we create 1000 different WindowsSql logins manually?
Or is it fesible to use one common windows/sql account for all the 1000 users in security and integrity point of view?
Please advise on the aproach to be slected...
Trying to install Backup Exec 12 which comes bundled with SQL Server 2005 Express.

SQL fails to install, and the following is in the SQL summary-log:

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.
