It appears that I have a machine where the SQL Server 2005 Security groups were deleted, now I am unable to change account settings in configuration manager ( I get a WMI provider error ). Is there any way to recreate these security groups without uninstalling and reinstalling SQL Server?
View 3 RepliesI've been reconfiguring my Windows service accounts for the SQL Server service and the SQL Agent service to comply with the security best practices for SQL Server 2005. Specifically, I created two new network accounts. One account runs the SQL Server service, the other runs the SQL Agent service.

Hello,
What are the security groups that I would need to enable a user to use the conflict viewer and replication monitor for specific databases that are setup for merge replication? Thanks.

I am using Windows server 2012 Standard R2 and SQL Server 2014 Enterprise. I have created three AD Groups and added the groups to the SQL server:
Group A. Group B, and Group C. I have mapped each group to their database which I created on the same SQL server.
Now I have Group A mapped to Database A, Group B mapped to Database B, and Group C mapped to Database C.
Now all the users in all the groups can see each other databases, I need to give full permission to Group A for ONLY database A and NOT to allow them access Database B and C, also I need to do the same thing for the other two groups, this means each group can only access their database and not allowed to access other databases.
Hello,
In NT MS suggests putting global groups into local groups and then assigning object permissions to those local groups in NTFS. I was wondering if this pattern should be followed in SQL server when assigning permissions to integrated login accounts. Is it better to use global groups or local groups?
Thanks

Hi,Apologies for not knowing much around this subject, we currently run sqlserver 2000 for a database and have each user marked up on the database.We are moving to use a windows security group, so taking themanagement slightly away from the database server.What I would like to know is, will this effect functions such assuser_sname() by returning the group name instead of user id? I wouldassume not but it's worth checking!Also, I'm guessing if a user is marked on the database as their own idand as part of a security group, then all permissions are thrown in withdeny taking preference? How does this work with a database owner who isalso part of a security group that has limiting functionality?Thanks for your help,Chris

I have a report running and I am attempting to assign role based security. I added a group to the site level security. The group I added contains child groups. It doesn't seem that report server is looking into the child groups to see if the logged in user is a member of the child group. Is there anyway to get this to work instead of adding all the groups directly? I suspect that report server is using cominterop and cominterop is not traversing the directory tree?

I have multiple security groups for which I would like to print off the

accomplish this? Thanks, Craig.
Please excuse me if this is basic SQL, however I'm new to SQL and how
it works.
I'm running SQL Server 2005 and have a number of databases. What I want
to do is control access to each database via an Active Directory group.
The group has been setup in AD and users added. I've then gone into SQL
Management Studio and gone to the Security folder under the server and
then Logins and added the group. Within that I've then added
permissions to a specific database. All good so far, however when you
try to login to the database I get a Login failed error message. In
contrast if I add individual users to the security, Logins on SQL
Manager I can get the DB to open with a username and password box for
the specific user.
What I would like to know is:
How can I control access to SQL Databases using Active Directory
Security Groups?
What setup is required on the SQL side to allow access to the databases
from users in the security groups, but still require them to login with
their windows authentication?
can anybody tell me with an example how to use Inserted and Deleted in Sql Server 2005

We have just created a new Windows 2008 server running SQL 2005 64 bit. I am in the process of migrating old SQL 2000 databases onto this new server. One of the databases required a SQL login for some Windows groups that get created from the SMS software. I'm having a problem when I go into create a new login, select object type Groups, from this location , I enter the object name and click Check Names and it finds it. I select okay and everything looks good. But when I click ok on the New Login screen, I get the 15401 error saying that Windows NT user or group not found. I have gone into the Server Manager - Groups and verified that the group exists, and it does. The only thing I see when I click properties is on the bottom right had side of the screen it says "Changes to a user's group membership are not effective until the next time the user logs on." It says this for all the groups on this server and I get the same error message when I try to add any group. I have had the user that is a memeber of this group log off and back on a few times, but it still says the same thing and I still get the same error.
Anyone have any ideas on what the problem might be? Is there something on the Windows 2008 server setup that we missed?
Thanks,

I am attempting to implement tighter security on my instances of SQL Server 2005. One of my tasks is to make sure that the service account for the SQL Server service has the minimum privileges necessary to run the service. I thought I had everything configured correctly, but then I realized that the "SQLServer2005MSSQLUser" Windows group was a member of the "sysadmin" fixed server role. I do not want the service account to be a sysadmin, so I removed the service account from this group.
Everything seemed to be working, until I received a call from one of our developers. He was attempting to execute a stored procedure, and he kept getting the following error: "An error occurred during decryption".
I looked up the error, and found out it is related to the service master key. I am using the same service account that I did when I installed SQL Server, so I am baffled as to why I am receiving this error. The error was resolved when I added the service account back to the "SQLServer2005MSSQLUser" Windows group and restarted the SQL Server service.
Do have any idea what might be happening here?
I am attempting to configure my SQL Server instance to use a service account with the minimum privileges. I thought I had everything configured correctly, when I realized that having the service account as a member of the "SQLServer2005MSSQLUser" Windows Group meant that the service account was now in the "sysadmin" fixed server role. This was not the configuration I wanted.
I went through the Books Online article "Setting Up Windows Service Accounts" and made sure the login had access to the appropriate folders used by SQL Server. Then I stopped the SQL Server service and tried to restart it, without success. These are the error messages:
Code Snippet
SQL Server could not spawn FRunCM thread. Check the SQL Server error log and the Windows event logs for information about possible related problems.
Could not start the network library because of an internal error in the network library. To determine the cause, review the errors immediately preceding this one in the error log.
FCB::Open failed: Could not open file E:MSSQL$STAGINGDatamodel.mdf for file number 1. OS error: 5(Access is denied.).
TDSSNIClient initialization failed with error 0x5, status code 0x1.
TDSSNIClient initialization failed with error 0x5, status code 0x90.
I checked some other posts on this board, and they suggested the problem might be that the "VIA" protocol was enabled. I checked for this protocol in the Configuration Manager, and it is DISABLED in both the SQL Server 2005 Network Configuration and the SQL Native Client Configuration. What else could be causing this error?
The errors do not occur when I add the service account back to the "SQLServer2005MSSQLUser" Windows Group. The SQL Server service starts successfully when the account is back in this group.
Here are my answers to the questions posted at the top of this board:
What is the MS SQL version? - SQL Server 2005 SP2 (9.00.3054.00)
What is the SKU of MS SQL? - Enterprise Edition (SKU ID: 1804890536)
What is the SQL Server Protocol enabled? - TCPIP, Named Pipes
Does the server start successfully? - NO
If not what is the error messages in the SQL server ERRORLOG? - See above.
If SQL Server is a named instance, is the SQL browser enabled? - YES
What is the account that the SQL Server is running under? - Domain Account
Do you make firewall exception for your SQL server TCP port if you want connect remotely through TCP provider? Not applicable, Windows Firewall is not used
Do you make firewall exception for SQL Browser UDP port 1434?
Not Applicable, Windows Firewall is not used
Hi all !
I have a question regarding the security of SQL Server 2005 Express Edition.
What securities options that SQL server 2005 EE provide for its users?
I know that after I deploy my website to a hosting company or a web
server, my database file will be on the net. That means everybody can
type in the file name and download my database file then open it. Just
like that. For example, my database filename is EXAMPLE.MDF. then,
someone just goto my website, say
http://www.cool.com/app_data/example.mdf, and download the database.
To prevent that to happen, what the securities options that available to me beside putting password on my database file?
Thanks for taking time to answer my question. Any help will be appreciated. Have a good day!

HI,
I am just starting out with SQL Server 2005 and really getting in a muddle with al the security stuff.
It seems i have LOGINS, DATABASE USERS, Server Roles, Database Roles, SCHEMAS and somehow they all tie in together. I am using Microsoft Press "SQL Server 2005 Implementation and maintenance" but it really isn't doing a good job of explaining it to me.
Can anyone point me to a reference that clearly explains all this stuff?
Hi All,
I have been building a database in SQL Server Express for some months now using the Windows level authentication login that has given me full access to everything in the database.
The time has now come where I need to create user accounts and grant permissions to specific stored procedures and I'm having trouble doing this.
Can anyone give me a brief rundown of the required T-SQL commands I need to set up a user account that can do nothing but run stored procs (not the system procs which apparently are being discontinued: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms182795.aspx).
So far I have:-
CREATE LOGIN db_test_user WITH PASSWORD = 'eXaMpL3Pwd
USE db_new
CREATE USER db_test_user
The above code executes successfully but when I try and connect (using Management Studio) I get error message 'The user is not associated with a trusted SQL Server connection (error 18452)' which means little to me.
I also tried creating a 'WITHOUT LOGIN' user for the database but could not figure out how to give it a password.
I don't know (/understand) roles/schemas and don't know if I really need them as I only need user access to specific stored procs. I don't ever want them to see the tables for example so they only need the most restricted access.
Can anyone help?
Thanks,
DG

Couple of questions for the SQL Server Guru's out there.
SQLServer 2005
Web Hosting Provider
Ok I am developing a Web application in ASP.NET with AJAX, etc. etc. It will be some time before it is ready to roll out. As a mockup I created the same application in Microsoft Access and Visual Basic (VS 2008), which I can link the tables to the hosting provider on the internet. Works very well and speed is very acceptable. The want to start utilizing it with the mockup distributed app that I created.
My question is, is how secure is the data that is moving from the local application to SQLServer 2005 with the web hosting provider ? Is there anything that I can do to increase security ?
Thanks, any thoughts ?
Appreciate any suggestions or comments.
Has anyone compiled a list of out of the box features to disable (like sql mail in 2000)? Or even just a general security checklist for 2005?
I'm looking for one similar to http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/sql/2000/maintain/sp3sec04.mspx
Hi,
I wonder if SQL Server 2005 supports row based security?

Dear mems,
I have a problem, and i don't khow how to resolve, pls help me:
My server is Windows XP (not domain),
I work with SQL Server 2005, installed on my server,
I configurate my SQL SERVER connection is "Windows Authentication mode",
I add user "MyComputerguest" to MyServerSecutityLogins to accept connections from local network
I have many databases: Db1, Db2, Db3...
But, I don't know to configurate my SQL Server to achive these:
1) My clients using "SQL Server Managment Studio" connect to Databases Db2, Db3... on my Server, they can expand, modify, add new all Tables, Sp, functions of Db2, Db3.
2) My clients are not allow to access Db1.
2) My clients can add new Databases Db4, Db5, Db6... in the future and they have full permission on every Database which they create without my interfere.

if you run the following script it takes access from the windows admin from getting into sql server through windows auth. The issue is that the files that are attached logging as SA after that are read only. Is there any solution? When you try and switch the file to read write sql server gives an error saying that it cant read the mdf and ldf--gives a windows access error....

I am not sure if this is the right place to post this but I need some help. We have an email server, with windows 2003 server, set up with SQL server 2005 and sql server management studio express which uses windows authentication. I noticed in the event viewer we keep getting an error under the application, "failure audit". about 25 a minute. The error says "login failed for user admin
The user is not associated with a trusted mysql server connection." followed by an ip address
(this username changes on a daily bases which makes me wonder if it is an attempted hack)
I have little knowledge of sql. How can I get this to stop happening. Event Viewer returns no results to help me fix this and I am having no luck researching it on my own. If there is any more info I need to provide, let me know. HELP!
Hi everyone,
I'm currently investigating the security improvements of SQL Server 2005. I've got some problems with the schemas introduced in SQL 2005 and security settings.
For my test I've created two schemas: UserManagement and Sales. A user "test" is attached to the UserManagement schema. There's a table Sales.Users containing a list of users (varchar) and a stored procedure named UserManagement.AddUser that can be executed by the UserManagement schema (GRANT EXECUTE, so "test" can execute the SP). UserManagement.AddUser simply inserts a new row into Sales.Users.
Because the Sales schema doesn't contain any user, nobody (except the sysadmin, of course) can do a INSERT/SELECT/DELETE in the Sales.Users table. As expected, the following SQL statement fails:
EXECUTE AS LOGIN='machine est';
INSERT INTO Sales.Users VALUES('Test User');
INSERT was not allowed: object 'Users', database 'test', schema 'Sales'.
The second way of inserting rows into Sales.Users is to execute the stored proc UserManagement.AddUser:
CREATE PROCEDURE [UserManagement].[AddUser]
WITH EXECUTE AS CALLER
AS
INSERT INTO Sales.Users VALUES('Test User');
The user "test" can execute this sproc without problems:
EXECUTE AS LOGIN='machine est';
EXECUTE UserManagement.AddUser;
(1 row(s) affected)To my astonishment the INSERT statement inside the stored proc does execute - although UserManagement.AddUser and Sales.Users are two different schemas. Why is that, is there a chaining happening? To my understanding SQL Server should test INSERT rights on Sales.Users for the UserManagement schema and deny the INSERT statement because UserManagement isn't allowed to INSERT in the Sales schema.
Any ideas? Help regarding the issue is greatly appreciated.
Best regards,
Alex
We have experienced an issue with back backup / restore of a database originating from SQL Server 2000 to SQL Server 2003.
We have the following setup:
SQL Server 2000
- DatabaseA
- asdfUser (SQL User)
- asdfUser is (dbowner) of DatabaseA
- DatabaseB
- asdfUser (SQL User)
- asdfUser is (dbowner) of DatabaseB
SQL Server 2005 Standard
-asdfUser is NOT Setup as a user yet.
-We restore DatabaseA and DatabaseB to the SQL Server 2005 Standard. The databases are restored with the security permissions of asdfUser being the DB Owner of DatabaseA and DatabaseB.
-We create a new SQL user named asdfUser on the SQL Server 2005 box. We then try to add the UserMapping of DBOWNER for the DatabaseA and DatabaseB. We receive an error message stating that the asdfUser already have permissions to the databases. We proceed with the user creation without those permissions.
-We proceed to the login properties of the asdfuser and view their UserMappings. The asdfUser does not have access to DatabaseA or DatabaseB. We then add the UserMapping of DBOWNER to both DatabaseA and DatabaseB. We Try to select OK and we receive an error message that states that the user already has those permissions.
-When we query the UserID's of the asdfUser that is in the database and the UserID of the asdfUser that is created, they are two different values.
I assume this is a bug... any word on a fix?
I have a new SQL 2005 (SP2) Reporting Services server to which I've just upgraded and deployed some SSRS 2000 reports.
I have a subreport that contains a matrix with two groups. The report data seems to be inexplicably repeating the data for the first row in the group for all rows in the group. Example:
ID1
ID2
DisplayData
1
1
A
1
2
B
1
3
C
2
1
A
2
2
B
2
3
C
Parent group is on ID1, child group is on ID2, report would show:
1
1
A
2
A
3
A
2
1
A
2
A
3
A
Is this a matrix bug in 2005 SP2, or do I need to do something differently? I can no longer pull a comparison version from an SSRS 2000 server to verify, but I believe it was working as expected before...
