Does anyone knows what this account does? I heard that it is used by Visual Studio and Query Analyser. However, I couldn't find much documentation about it. This account has a random password which is generated by the Server. The password cannot be changed and will never expire.
Thanks...byyu
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.
View 6 Replies View Relatedtrying to get a new database created then running a script to created the tables, relationships, indexes and insert default data. All this I'm making happen during the installation of my Windows application. I'm installing SQL 2012 Express as a prerequisite of my application and then opening a connection to that installed SQL Server using Windows Authentication.
E.g.: Data Source=ComputerNameSQLEXPRESS;Initial Catalog=master;Integrated Security=SSPI; Then I run a query from my code to create the database eg: "CREATE DATABASE [MyDatabaseName]".
From this point I run a script using a Batch file containing "SQLCMD....... Myscriptname.sql". In my script I have my tables being created using "Use [MyDatabaseName] Go CREATE TABLE [dbo].[MyTableName] .....". So question is, should I have [dbo]. as part of my Create Table T-SQL commands? Can I remove "[dbo]."? Who would be the owner of the database? If I can remove the [dbo]., should I also remove dbo. from any query string from within my code?
I have been running a script in SQL Server 2000 as sa also as a Active Directory user who has administrator rights (I tested both approaches SQL Server then Windows Authentication) in Query Analyser which grants execute rights to the stored procedures within the database instance and Query Analyser does not give any errors when I run the script. I have made sure that each transaction has a go after it. I then return to Enterprise Manager, check the rights (I apply them to roles so that when we create another SQL Server user we just grant him/her rights to the role) and discover that the role has not been granted the rights. I seems to be occurring only with 2 of the procedures. Is there a known bug that might be causing this?

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.
Thank you in advanced.

Hi all, i hope you can help me.
Basically a dts package has been setup that pulls in data from another companies server, this data requires to be on-demand i.e individual users can pull in updates of the data when they require it.
I am using xp_cmdshell and dtsrun to pull in the data. This obviouly works fine for me as i am a member of sysadmin.
Books online quotes " SQL Server Agent proxy accounts allow SQL Server users who do not belong to the sysadmin fixed server role to execute xp_cmdshell"
So i went to the SQL Server Agent Properties 'Job System' tab and unchecked 'Non-sysadmin job step proxy account' and entered a proxy account.
The proxy account has been setup as a Windows user with local administrator privilages and even a member of the sysadmin server role - just in case.
Now when i log onto the db with my test account - a non-sysadmin - and attempt to run the stored proc to import the data i recieved the message 'EXECUTE permission denied on object 'xp_cmdshell', database 'master', owner 'dbo' '
hmm... so basically i have either misunderstood BoL or there is something not quite right in my setup.
I have search the net for a few days now and yet i can find no solution.
Can anyone help?
Hi there,BOL notes that in order for replication agents to run properly, theSQLServerAgent must run as a domain account which has privledges to loginto the other machines involved in replication (under "SecurityConsiderations" and elsewhere). This makes sense; however, I waswondering if there were any repercussions to using duplicate localaccounts to establish replication where a domain was not available.Anotherwords, create a local windows account "johndoe" on both machines(with the same password), grant that account access to SQL Server onboth machines, and then have SQL Server Agent run as "johndoe" on bothmachines. I do not feel this is an ideal solution but I havecircumstances under which I may not have a domain available; mypreliminary tests seem to work.Also, are there any similar considerations regarding the MSSQLSERVERservice, or can I always leave that as local system?Dave
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a situation that I have discovered in our QA database that I need to resolve. When I looked at the Activity Monitor for our server, I discovered that a process is running under a domain user account for one of our .Net applications. The problem is that that domain user account has not been created as a SQL login account on the server. I am trying to figure out how someone can log in to the database server with a domain user account that has not been added to SQL Server as a login account.
Does anyone have any insight on this? I don't like the idea of someone being able to create domain account that can access the database without me granting them specific access.

Hi folks.
Here i have small problem in transactions.I don't know how it is happaning.
Up to my knowldge if you start a transaction in side the transaction if you have DML statements
Those statements only will be effected by rollback or commit but in MS SQL SERVER 7.0 and 6.5
It is rolling back all the commands including DDL witch it shouldn't please let me know on that
If any one can help this please tell me ...........Please............
For Example
begin transaction t1
create table t1
drop table t2
then execute bellow statements
select * from t1
this query gives you table with out data
select * from t2
you will recieve an error that there is no object
but if you rollback
T1 willn't be there in the database
droped table t2 will come back please explain how it can happand.....................

Hi,
I have been in the process of creating some new pkgs in BIS. My question is, once I am done writing the pkgs, what next?
That is, how do I get the pkgs into SQL Server, and how do I schedule them to run?
Also, what if I have the following scenario:
I have created a new SSIS pkg that has several EXECUTE DTS 2000 tasks in them. The DTS packages that are called from the EXECUTE DTS 2000 task are stored in the database under "Legacy". These should still run OK once I "load" the packages to SQL Server 2005, yes?
Where do the SSIS packages "live" in SQL Server 2005? That is, where can I view them.
Thank you!!

I have generated an SQL Script to script me a database, stored procs, tables, foriegn keys and users, as well as Create command and drop objects.

Hello everyone
I need some advice regarding security
My security officier wants me to disable the sa account on all my SQL Servers.
NT Security for the sysadmin role is already setup for all my servers
for the group "Domain DBAs"
Could someone give the pros and cons.
this Person wants the ability tho activate the sa account at will. (he comes from the AS400 Mind frame)
Second question are there any good books or courses that talk about securing SQL Server 7.0, 2000, etc.
Thanks
I have taken over a NT 4 and SQL Server 7 system that
has a NT account called SA. No one seems to know what it
is for. I thought that the SA account was only a SQL login.
has anyone seen this?
Thanks
Scenario: My client has 4 sql boxes with applications connecting to them via various methods (ado, odbc, etc.). Some of the applications have the SA login and pwd hard coded. Too many users have the SA pwd so they want to change the pwd without affecting the applications. Well, they haven't heard of Source Safe until I got here and the projects for the applications are nowhere to be found. They don't want to hear about rewriting the applications.
Suggestions: I'm wondering if I can create an account with the same priviledges of SA and modify the SA account. I'm not sure what's possible at this point because they have taken away most of my options.
If anyone has any suggestions, I would appreciate it.
Thanks for your help.
This is my first time to install the SQL 2005 on my VPC for testing purpose, I don't recall that I did configure the sa account during the instalation.
Is their is any way after the installation to configure the sa account with a password? Please advice
Thanks

I am installing SQL Server on a large number of servers. MSDB was not created on 7 of the
36 servers. MSDB was created just fine if I uninstalled SQL Server and reinstalled it and also
when I created MSDB using the instlmsdb.sql script out of the MSSQLInstall directory.
There is no mention of this problem on TechNet but there is an article on it on
www.support.microsoft. However, the article says that the bug happens if SQL Server is
started in single user mode. I am not starting any of these servers in single user mode.
Someone else has tracked this problem to BIOS. What do you know?
I am installing 6.5 on Win NT 4.0 SP3.
