Sql Express Installation Problem Setting Sql Account To =NT AUTHORITYSYSTEM
Apr 4, 2006
Hello,
I am having trouble installing sql express from a command line on an XP o/s other than English, I know French and German have the problem I suspect this is caused by setting the sql account to ="NT AUTHORITYSYSTEM" my guess is that this is a localized string.
I get the following error
SQL Server Setup could not validate the service accounts. Either the service accounts have not been provided for all of the services being installed, or the specified username or password is incorrect. For each service, specify a valid username, password, and domain, or specify a built-in system account.
I noticed that when installing on a Windows XP machine, the installation results in a SQLServer instance which is configured with Built-in account = Network Service. However, with the same command line used on Windows 2000 machines, the configuration winds up being Built-in account = Local System. My understanding is that the default configuration is supposed to be Local System.
What can I do to ensure that the instance configuration is always Local System during the silent installation? This is required otherwise, under the Network Service configuration, it creates a messy situation to attach DBs.
I am trying to connect to a sql server from my asp.net application via windows authentication using the Network Service account. When I try to create a login for the ComputerNameNetwork Service account I get the following error.
I know I haven't mistyped it because I clicked the check names button and it showed as a valid id.
So what gives?

The account i setup to access the db in Sql 2005 Proper on the Production serve is Represented by the name in the above example as “aspuser�. I created this user in security, logins. And I gave permissions to this on the Db level “create procedure delete, select, update insert.�
I get a error when i run the page in the browser that says “login failed for aspuser.�
I know virtual directory is configured properly. I can run aspx page in the directory with out a db connection, without and error.
I was wondering if there was any way to set the service account on sql server 2005 express to Local System via command prompt.
To giva some background to this issue, I am installing 2005 express via command prompt, however, the default service account is network I believe. However, when running this, I keep getting an "error 3415" whenever I try to attach a database, which states that the files are "read only", which they are not. However, when setting the service account to local or set the security mode to windows authenticaiton, I can attach just fine.
The parameters I use to install are pretty standard:
So I was wondering if there was some way to set the service account to local system to local using some command prompt parameter. OR if there was another way around the error 3415 that will enable me to attach a database, that I do not know about that I can use, preferrably via command prompt, but anything will be fine at this point.
Hi All, We are upgrading from Sql Server Express to SQl Server 2005. As part of the installation process, it is not asking us to specify a service account for various services, and we are not sure what to specify. (This was handled automatically with Express). Any ideas? Thanks. Claude.
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.
my local instance of reporting services is named and therefore I think causing me a problem when I issue the following command to set up an unattended account...
rsconfig -s localhostinstance name -e -u domain nameuser name -p password
the message I keep getting is "No Reporting Services instance found on local host.". I tried a couple of things including replacement of the word localhost with my computer name but to no avail. I tried single and double quotes around the -s parameter but no success.
I get an error when trying to install the SQL Native Client. It says it cannot find the installation package and to use a valid copy of 'sqlncli.msi'. I've downloaded the Express setup twice and get the same error from both of them.
I'm attempting this in a VMWare session setup for Windows 2K, Advanced Server. I am trying to test my installation and setup procedures. This is not a production setup, just install testing and documentation. I have allocated only 272MB to the VMWare session, which is why the system doesn't meet the recommended settings.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I am installing SQL Server 2005 on a server (Windows Server Enterprise Edition 2003 SP2) that is not domain controller and on the screen "Service Account" I checked the box "Customize for each service account" and typed a domain account (it has permission to "logon as a service"), its password and domain, and when I click the "Next" button, I am getting the error below:"SQL Server Setup could not validate the service accounts. Either the service accounts have not been provided for all of the services being installed, or the specified username or password is incorrect. For each service, specify a valid username, password, and domain, or specify a built-in system account. "
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.
In order to totally limit access to the SQL Server to my login, I'm dropping all other logins except sa. However, I tried to apply a Drop Login against the NT AuthoritySystem login and it was not accepted.
Can anybody tell me what the NT AuthoritySystem is used for? Could a hacker or someone without SQL Server Authentication use this login to access the SQL Server?
I have a situation where the database owner was [NT AUTHORITYSYSTEM], and it was changed to "sa." Now, it must be changed back to [NT AUTHORITYSYSTEM] to prove/disprove an issue. This login is in the SecurityLogins area, and is a System Administrator. The server is SQL 2000.
Yet, I cannot seem to find suitable syntax to do this... is this possible?
I have a SP, which send Emails, when I execute by myself, all emails are sent. Now, I configured a Schedule Job, and when it runs did not send anything. I was looking for, and I found when Job is running the sender_request_user is NT AUTHORITYSYSTEM, but when I execute by my self the sender_request_user is sa, is there any way to change this to sa User or something else what i can do?Â
I recently updated a default instance of SQL Express to Service Pack 2. When I tried to attach my database I got an error "Login failed for user SA. The user is not associated with a trusted SQL server connection".
I found that my SA account for the instance was locked out. I unlocked it and everything worked again.
This happened to my on two different PC's using a default instance of SQL Express. Does anybody know why SA is being locked out? Thanks in advance.
Does anybody know what the "NT AUTHORITYSYSTEM" login create during a SQL Server 2005 instillation is used for?
Does this login pose a security risk, and can it be removed safely? It seems to me as if it is similar to the "BultinAdministrator" login which we remove from our production servers?
Bummer. I can't remember the SA password. I had setup a user account, but I can't change anything or add any new accounts using this login. I can't get in using the windows authentication method no matter how I am logged into this machine.
Any suggestions? I have never been able to use Windows Authentication. There must be something I'm missing here. I have spent hours and hours trying to get into this machine. I just want to replicate a database. This is very frustrating.
I'm trying to do an unattended install of SQL Express 2005 SP2, and specify that the service runs under the Local Service account. Prior versions of SQL Express worked fine.
With SQL Express 2005 SP2, however, the install fails on XP Pro SP2. It *does* work on Winows 2003 Server.
It fails at the end of the install, saying it can't start the service. If I use "NETWORK SERVICE", it works fine, but that's more privileges than I want the service to have. Is there something else on the command line that I can try to get it to work?
Dear All, I currently installed visual studio 2005. So together it als install sql server express. So then I install the sql server management studio express too. So the problem now I want to do is run asp.net pages. I want to know how to create a local account with my own password. Because now I can only login using default windows authentication so how can I create an account with for sql server authentication ? Another question is that for the server address in my asp.net page what must I write localhost or the name shown in the server name text box while logging in. Thanks.
I can get to the DB and find the user account, but I see nowhere to change the password? My app requires a password that meets Windows Security requirements and the one that was initially created is not long enough.....
I would like to know is it possible to installing sql 2005 express edition on windows xp with limited account. I tried to install it. After installing, the service can not start. Is there any thing that I misconfigured?
can someone help me with this error. Error: 18456, Severity: 14, State: 16 Login failed for user 'NT AUTHORITYSYSTEM' [CLIENT:<local machine>] I've found several Threads but not with the NT AUTHORITYSYSTEM.
Hi, I hope you can help.I have configured a Windows 2003 web server and SQL 2005 Server (on same box) to successfully allow remote connections and to allow access via SQL Server Management Studio Express 2005.The problem I have is that I want to restrict access to the databases on the server via the Management Studio to specific databases e.g. 1 database user "sees" only 1 database.I can configure it so that the user's remote access permissions do not allow access to other databases but they can still "see" the database listed in the Management Studio explorer.I can also configure it so that the users cannot see all the databases (by disabling View All Databases on SQL Server), but this means that they cannot not see their own database which they have permissions for.Is it impossible to have the desired behaviour of only displaying the database which the remote user accessing has permissions for and hiding all other databases?I have MSN'd,Googled and Yahoo'd this one to no avail :(Many thanksFergus
I have a SQL Server 2005 Express edition instance set up on one server, and IIS on another server.
The SQL Server process account is a domain user account, which I have added to the local groups that SQL Server created during installation (I originally used a local user account instead of domain account; however, the problem occurs with both).
SQL Server runs fine, and if I set my IIS application pool identity to a domain admin, my web app can access the database and retrieve the data necessary.
However, I have a domain user account that I want to use to run the app pool and retrieve the data. The domain user account is added to the IIS_WPG group on the web server. On the database server, I have created a login for the account, as well as added it to the db_datareader role of the database that is used for the site.
However, the user is not able to connect to the SQL Server. I get the "Login failed for user <user account>" error in ASP.NET. I also tried connecting with SQL Server Management Studio, and I get the same error. I checked and the user has connect permission to the database server.
With admin accounts, there are no problems logging in, etc.
Any pointers are appreciated,
Thanks,
SA.
Edit: I was able to find out that the State is 11 for the error. According to http://blogs.msdn.com/sql_protocols/archive/2006/02/21/536201.aspx, this indicates "Valid login but server access failure." I am not sure how to resolve this.
When doing a unattended install of Microsoft SQL Server Express, I have a problem specifing the service to installed to be run under the as local system account.
I'm using: SQLACCOUNT & SQLPASSWORD parameters but it just won't work.
As default SQL Server is installed using the NETWORK SERVICE account, this causes the database to be read-only. What I want is to specifiy in the script that the service should run under the LOCAL SYSTEM account instead. This must also be OS-language independent.
I've tried:
SQLACCOUNT=NT AUTHORITYSYSTEM SQLACCOUNT=NT AUTHORITYLOCAL SYSTEM SQLACCOUNT=NT AUTHORITYLOCAL SERVICE SQLACCOUNT=SYSTEM
SQLACCOUNT=BUILT-INSYSTEM
etc.
and even some different SID as:
S-1-5-18 S-1-5-19
All with no password with the SQLPASSWORD parameter:
SQLPASSWORD=
I still getting the same error while validating the service account.
Is there someone else who knows what I'm doing wrong?
Hi, I am running a project that has a custom membership flow. I need to use the local SQL Express Membership instead. In orderer to achieve this, I have added the following lines in my web.config: in the membership section: <add name="AspNetSqlMembershipProvider" type="System.Web.Security.SqlMembershipProvider, System.Web, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a" connectionStringName="LocalSqlServer" enablePasswordRetrieval="false" enablePasswordReset="true" requiresQuestionAndAnswer="true" applicationName="/" requiresUniqueEmail="false" passwordFormat="Hashed" maxInvalidPasswordAttempts="5" passwordAttemptWindow="10" passwordStrengthRegularExpression="" /> in the connectionStrings section:<add name="LocalSqlServer" connectionString="data source=.SQLEXPRESS;Integrated Security=SSPI;AttachDBFilename=|DataDirectory|aspnetdb.mdf;User Instance=true" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />
Problem : When I am opening ASP.NET Configuration > Security I have the following error message: There is a problem with your selected data store. This can be caused by an invalid server name or credentials, or by insufficient permission. It can also be caused by the role manager feature not being enabled. Click the button below to be redirected to a page where you can choose a new data store. The following message may help in diagnosing the problem: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
How do I find out what port my server is listening on? I'm trying to connect to my database locally to install Vignette Portal. And no matter what I try, nothing works. I think it is listening on port 1433. But there is no way to be sure. Should something come up if I hit localhost:1433 in my browser? Because, when I do that, nothing comes up.
Does anyone know of a good set of instructions for correctly configuring a sql express server for web applications (the sql server and web server are on different machines). I can see the SQL server from my web server, but only using the sa account and I would like to know how I should setup another user and what rights to give this user.
I've been using SQL Serer 2000 or SQL Server 2005 (external) for my website and I have it configured through the aspnet_regsql tool. The hosting company doesn't offer access to SQL Server to configure the database. So I thought I'd use SQL Express. Only problem is now I can use the exe to set up this db.
Does anyone know of a good way to configure this database for my website?
