Setup On Localhost MSDE Permissions
Nov 20, 2003
I'm trying to setup the ASP.Net forum on my local XP Pro PC and am having problems with MSDE security. I had an old version of MSDE on the PC and uninstalled it and downloaded/setup the version on the download page with the forum.
Looking at the MSDE readme I did the Windows Authentication mode instead of the mised mode - was that wrong?
When setup tries to setup the DB I get the log entry:
Determined SQL Server version (8.00.194).
[Fail] Could not add ASPNET user to SQL Server.
SQL Server does not exist or access denied.
The server is up and running and I have already used another tool to setup its DB so the server is up an running and functioning fine.
I have search around on the net about MSDE persmissions but the hits have not been helpful - they usually refer to client tools not provided with MSDE. Even if I could find instructions on setting up a user the ASPForumSetup doesn't say what user name or permissons are needed.
I can't find any spot in the XP Pro environment to setup access permissions to MSDE - is finding that the key? My login is a member of the Administrators group.
Help!

Hello:
I had partitioned my harddrive to have both XP PRO and Red Hat. Got fed up with all that and so used Partition Magic 8.0 to repartition the drive to be one 16 Gig drive. I still have over 8 Gig left on it even after installing VS .NET on it.
I have successfully installed Visual Studio .NET Pro 2003 on it and I can now write programs in VB and see it on my intranet at c:/wwwroot/.
I am now trying to install MSDE 2000 for Developers Using VS .NET. I have downloaded the file from Microsoft and then when I go to install it on my hard drive it tells me it cannot; I have to free up 92.44 Megs for it to be able to extract it to my c drive.
I am a newbee and any help will be GREATLY appreciated!!

I am using VB.net to build ASP.net pages. I finally decided it was time to start using SQL server based code. So, I installed MSDE....or so I thought.
I have the server Icon in the bottom systray and it's green and seems to be running.
I have been able to use Microsoft Access' Database Upgrade Wizard to create BB.adp file.
An in VB.net I see a master.dbo connection in Server Explorer.
But I can't figure out how to access the database via the SQL server. When I right click on Server Explorer....the Create a New SQL database menu item is greyed out.
My concern is that my installation is not complete and/or I don't know how to locate and verify the server.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Here is my experience with installing MSDE.
I'm leaning C# and ASP.NET at the same time using the book "Microsoft ASP.NET Programming with Microsoft Visual C# .NET Step by Step". In Appendix C, P 577, it says to locate setup.exe under …Microsoft Visual Studio .NETSetupMSDE and "run setup.exe to install MSDE."
This was my first mistake, because there are more recent versions available with security patches (for the slammer virus). I have been unable to successfully update the old version. The install program for MSDE has got to be a hackers delight because only a hacker can make it work. I decided to uninstall the old version of MSDE 2000 and install the latest download from the MSDN website. The new version would get most of the files installed and then rollback the install, removing all the files. When I tried to reinstall the old version, it did the same thing. At least the new version requires a password parameter for the sa user. The bad news is that the new password is ignored. Since I already installed the first version with a blank sa password by running setup.exe with no parameters the password will remain blank until I change it using the user friendly osql command line utility. More about osql later…
Here is how I solved the rollback problem:
I first (after many hours trying to modify the registry to clean up the mess Windows uninstaller left there) used the command line switch /L*V <your logfile name> to get a verbose log file. I noticed a property listed called "Disablerollback" this was set to 0. So, I ran setup on the command line as below (all one line):
>setup DisableRollback=1 /L*V "C:Program FilesMicrosoft Visual Studio .NETSetupMSDEsetupbat.log" SAPWD="ignored password"
The setup still failed, but its tracks were preserved for XP to complain about on system restart.
I then restarted the system and logged in. XP threw an error dialog box with the message "Your server installation is either corrupt or has been tampered with (unknown package ID)…" I clicked OK and waited a few extra minutes for XP to finish logging me in.
After logging in, I closed the Service Manger from the taskbar notification area. I then deleted the folders 80, and MSSQL (name of default instance) from the target install directory. Finally, I ran setup.exe again as shown:
>setup /L*V "C:Program FilesMicrosoft Visual Studio .NETSetupMSDEsetupgood.log" SAPWD="ignored password"
This time, after restarting, my old MSDE worked. This approach seems to only work with the first old version of MSDE that was shipped with Visual Studio .NET. I still have yet to figure out how to upgrade and get MSDE to work again.
Once you get MSDE to work, here are some tips on how to administer it using the osql command tool.
To change the sa password do the following (use null for a blank password):
>osql -U sa
Password:
1> sp-password @old=null, @new='newpassword', @loginame='sa'
2> go
Password has been changed
3> quit
On page 113 of the authors' first attempt with the book "Microsoft ASP.NET Programming…", the hacks wrote:
Set up the SQL Server session state database by running the InstallSQLState.sql batch (located in …) against the SQL Server you plan to use. (For more information about running batch statements, check with your database administrator or the SQL Server Books Online.)
Here is how to do it with osql:
> osql -S MSSQLSERVER -U sa -i InstallSQLState.sql
For less characters than it took to write the last parenthetical sentence, they could have just given the same example I supplied here.
If you want a graphical interface to administer you MSDE server, try downloading the small package for "Microsoft SQL Web Data Administrator" from Microsoft's website. This even comes with a modern installer. Here are some tips on how to connect to your locally installed MSDE using this utility:
The main dialog just requires that you click the start button. A login page comes up. To log in as sa, do the following:
? Click the "SQL Login" radio button.
? Under "Please enter a SQL Server name:" fill in the following text boxes:
? Username: sa
? Password: [your password | leave blank if no password is set]
? Server: (local)
This should get you to the server tools page. Click "Security", then Logins. Now, on the Logins page, you can add new users. If you install MSDE for mixed mode, you can add "Windows Integrated" user accounts. This best since you won't have to put passwords in your code to allow database access to these users. To add a user, click on "Create New Login". Set Authentication Method to "Windows Integrated" in the combo box. For Login Name you need to use the form <computername><username> . For example, "MSSQLServerDan".
If you did like I did, and installed MSDE in SQL login mode only, you can do the following registry hack to change it to mixed authentication mode:
1. Locate either of the following subkeys (depending on whether you installed MSDE as the default MSDE instance or as a named instance:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESoftwareMicrosoftMSSqlserverMSSqlServer
-or-
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESoftwareMicrosoftMicrosoft SQL Server<Instance Name>MSSQLServer
2. In the right-pane, double-click the LoginMode subkey.
3. In the DWORD Editor dialog box, set the value of this subkey to 1. Make sure that the Hex option is selected, and then click OK.
4. Restart the MSSQLSERVER and the SQLSERVERAgent services for this change to take effect.

Hello:
I have extracted the files from the Microsoft download and am all ready to run SETUP for the MSDE 2000 release A for Visual Studio .NET 2003 Pro.
Is there anything I need to know about or run or configure for it all to work?? I am a newbee and I am the only user on my XP Pro machine under Administrator.
Thank you in advance for any pointers.

Last night at home on my 64 bit Vista machine, I encountered the same error 29506 that said that the management studio express could not be installed. I looked up the error message and below is what I received. I also installed the 64 bit .net framework which installed just fine before trying to install the SSSME.
I followed the instructions below but this did not seem to make a difference. However, I did not reboot after applying new permissions. I have installed this software a few times now on 32 bit machines for both XP and RC1 Vista, and have not had a problem. Last night, I did use the 64 bit version. Also, there is no data file yet because after the install it rolls back, so I gave myself Full permissions on the SQL server directory which should include all sub directories, right? Thanks, Teri
Error 29506.
SQL Server Setup failed to modify security permissions on file Drive:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.xMSSQLData for user SYSTEM. To proceed, verify that the account and domain running SQL Server Setup exist, that the account running SQL Server Setup has administrator privileges, and that exists on the destination drive.
Note A SQL Server service pack refers to SQL Server 2005 Service Pack 1 (SP1) and later service packs.
CAUSE
This problem occurs because one or more data files exist that do not have the required permissions. By default, the Full Control permission of the Administrators group is granted to the data file when you create a database. If the permission of this group is removed from the data file, the SQL Server 2005 service pack setup will fail.
RESOLUTION
To resolve this problem, grant the Full Control permission to the Administrators group on all data files and on the Data folder. To grant the Full Control permission to the data files, follow these steps:
1.
Locate the folder that contains the data files. By default, these files are located in the following folder:
C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLData
2.
Right-click the data file that has no required permissions for the Administrators group, and then click Properties.
3.
If the Administrators group is not in the Group or user names list, click Add, type Administrators, and then click OK.
4.
Click Administrators in the Group or user names list, and then click to select the Allow check box for the Full Control item in the Permissions for Administrators list.Note If the files in the Data folder have an orphan owner, you have to take ownership of the files and then grant the Full Control permission to the files. We recommend that you do not change the default permissions for the data files.

I have the following command in a .bat file
osql -E -S localhost sp_grantlogin 'GREGASPNET'"
What I would like to do is replace GREG with the name of the local computer this .bat file is being run on.
Is there any string for this... i.e [LOCALMACHINE]ASPNET or something like that?

I have the following .bat file that I call to register users to my MSDE instance...
echo osql -E -S %COMPUTERNAME%OfficiumInstance -Q "sp_grantlogin '" + %COMPUTERNAME% + "ASPNET'"
echo osql -E -S %COMPUTERNAME%OfficiumInstance -d Officium -Q "sp_grantdbaccess '" + %COMPUTERNAME% + "ASPNET'"
echo osql -E -S %COMPUTERNAME%OfficiumInstance -d Officium -Q "sp_addrolemember 'db_owner', '" + %COMPUTERNAME% + "ASPNET'"
My question is how do I correctly append %COMPUTERNAME% as a string to
I have tried using + signs...
"sp_grantlogin '" + %COMPUTERNAME% + "ASPNET'"
But that doesn't work.
I have looked for .bat file tutorials on the web but can't find the correct way to do this.

Received the following error while installing SP2
MSI (s) (D8!A0) [21:07:09:062]: Product: Microsoft SQL Server 2005 -- Error 29506. SQL Server Setup failed to modify security permissions on file C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLData for user Administrator. To proceed, verify that the account and domain running SQL Server Setup exist, that the account running SQL Server Setup has administrator privileges, and that exists on the destination drive.
Tried running install with a domain account and local account with same results.
Based on the error message, I checked permission on the drive and still received the same error.
Followed resolution based on KB 916766, this did not resolve the error.
Only possible resolution I found was to disable UAP, reboot and retry the install. This will be done as a last resort, but any other suggestion will be appreciated.
Many Thanks

I have XP Pro SP2 with MDAC 2.8.1022. It had a problem so I tried to reinstall MDAC and got a Fatal Setup Error. This setup does not support installing on this operating system. I downloaded MDAC 2.8 1177 and get the same error.
I thought of uninstalling/reinstalling SP2, but this is a 2 month old Dell Latitude 610 with factory installed XP. There is no Windows Service Pack 2 option listed in the Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs.
There's some other strange things, so I wonder if they are related.
1) I have Paul set up as an administrator account. Some folders like MSSQL show that account with no permissions. I grant all the permissions to Paul for that folder. I come back later and the permissions are gone.
2) I deleted 20 files in Explorer, but 7 of them did not go away. I deleted those 7 again and they instatnly reappeared. I deleted those 7 again and then they finally went away.
3) I get a slow reaction time for things like Windows Explorer and opening and closing programs. This is suprising since it has 2 gig of RAM and 2.3 Gig processor. Could it be a memory handling problem that's causing OS problems. Probably, the memory didn't handle the OS installation well and the whole system is compromised now.

We're doing upgrades from SQL 2008 R2 to SQL 2014. This is blocked due to RS is installed but not configured. Our desired action is to uninstall RS and proceed with the upgrade. But when setuparp.exe is raised, it does not list all the features on the 'Select Features' page. In fact, it only lists the last 2 shared features (SQ Client Connectivity SDK and Microsoft Sync Framework). However, all items appear to be listed on the 'Select Instance' page including RS. I've seen this issue on 2 of our SQL 2008 R2 Servers already.

Hello,
I'm not sure if it's the setup I did wrong, but I can't seem to get my
text datatype in my database to store more than 900 characters.
I'm trying to setup a news database for my website, which will populate
the information into a datagrid. To test, I manually added a news
item in the database through the visual studio 2003 gui. I
immediately noticed a problem as the I was getting an error after a
long news item saying:
"The value you entered is not consistent with the data type or length of the column, or over grid buffer limit."
I couldn't find anthing to set the buffer limit and the datatype is
"text" filled with simple text in the column. As a further test,
I
simply entered 12334567890123... up to 900 characters and still
recevied the error.
I would appreciate someone leading me in the right direction on this one.
Thanks a lot.

I'm trying to install SQL Server Management studio 2012 on my Windows 7 (x64) standalone laptop. When I click "New SQL stand-alone installation..." it runs a Setup Support Rules check and always fails "Setup Account Privileges". I've looked into the error and I keep getting that I need to change security rules but I don't have that option in window 7. How do I get around this without having to resort to a computer running Windows Server?
I have Visual Studio 2013 premium installed along with Localdb v11. I just want to connect and manage my database engine through SSMS when developing any application.

Using SQL Server 2k5 sp1, Is there a way to deny users access to a specific column in a table and deny that same column to all stored procedures and views that use that column? I have a password field in a database in which I do not want anyone to have select permissions on (except one user). I denied access in the table itself, however the views still allow for the user to select that password. I know I can go through and set this on a view by view basis, but I am looking for something a little more global.

I have always connected to my MS SQL DB's through a remote connection, like this:
<%
Dim oConn, oRS, sSQL
Set oConn = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
oConn.Open "Driver={SQL Server};" & _
"Database=mydb;" & _
"Server=myservername;" & _
"UID=mylogin;" & _
"PWD=mypwd"
%>
Is there a way to connect to an MS SQL DB locally with VBScript... I have seen code blocks use the keywork localhost... does that have something to do with it?

Hi all,
Sorry if this have been done before, does anyone know why I cannot connect to query analyzer using localhost? If I use my computer name, it would be fine. But not localhost. I think it might be something to do with protocols or security settings??
Thanks very much in advance.

I got a Sql Server running on my pc machine. I can access it as a localhost just fine. Its on a network and now I can't access it on other computers. When the odbc asks for the ip of the sql server is that in the normal ip format or the 9.0.1399 number that is next to the name of the server.

After creating a WebService using SQL Server 2005 HTTP Endpoints I can only browse to the wsdl file using localhost address and not via the machine name
For example http://MACHINENAME/SomeWebService?wsdl will ask for some authentication that can never be determined while
http://localhost/SomeWebService?wsdl will successfully generate the WSDL file
This happens on the actual machine and on all other machines in the domain which pretty much defeats the purpose of using Web Services to expose functionality.
Does anyone have any idea regarding
(a) what security features are at work here,
(b) Where are they documented
(c) How to set or use them in such a manner as to actually be able to use web services.
While investigating I have noticed that all examples conveniently use localhost and so either avoid or never address this issue.
Any suggestions appreciated.

I am trying to change the computer name of a machine running MSDE but I get an error when SQL Server starts. With regular SQL when I change the name of a computer I re-run setup and setup fixes this problem. MSDE can only be installed from unattended mode so I can’t rerun setup and fix the problem.
My question is "How do I change the name of a computer running MSDE with out reinstalling MSDE"

I am struggling to set a SQL Server Express for remote access...
Since it is the only instance on this server, I have set it up to use port 1433 by amending the IPALL entry of the Server Network Configuration, TCP/IP Properties.
I have also disabled "Shared Memory" and "Named Pipes" to leave only TCP/IP enabled as a server network config.
I have stopped the Browser Service because I think I don't need it if I use port 1433.
From the server itself, I can connect to my SQL Server through "localhostSQLEXPRESS" or "servernameSQLEXPRESS" but not from "10.xxx.xxx.xxxSQLEXPRESS" or "127.0.0.1SQLEXPRESS"
I suppose until I can access my server from itself using the IPAddress, there is no chance connecting remotely...

Greetings all,I am a network security professional rather than a MS SQL admin, so Iapologize in advance if this is a bit of a basic question for thislist. I also cross-posted this to microsoft.public.sqlserver.server,so sorry if anyone's read it already.I know an admin setting up a SQL server that will only beaccesible by a webserver running on the same host (not happy aboutrunning private vs publicly avaialable services on the same host , butit's what we've got). As such, I'd like to recommend to him that theSQL server only listen on the localhost ip, 127.0.0.1, thereby makingit inaccesible to the outside world. I looked around the MSknowledgebase but couldn't find a clear document stating how to dothis. Is it even possible? Is there a better option for thisconfiguration?It's been suggested that firewalling is the only option, but I'd reallylike to do *both* (firewall & bind to localhost). The firewall in thiscase will have to be host-based instead (software) instead of hardwarefor non-technical reasons, so additionally if anyone recommends asoftware firewall they use for this purpose I'd appreciate it. My firsimpulse is to recommend Tiny, but I've never used a software firewallfor an MS SQL/Web server before.Thanks,Brian
