Dec 11, 2007Would someone please make a clarification for me on the mainstream desupport of SQL Server 2000. In the following url it states that the desupport will take place 4/8/2008.
http://support.microsoft.com/lifecycle/?LN=en-us&p1=2852&x=12&y=11
Yet, if you read the lifecycle policy it at the following location it states that mainstream support is for 2-5years after the release of the successor product which ever is longer.
http://support.microsoft.com/gp/lifepolicy
Since SQL Server 2005 was released 4/8/2005 then five years would put it on support until 4/8/2010. Would someone please correct me where I am reading this incorrectly?
Thanks

Loopback Server Policy
Sep 10, 2006
Hello all,
Recently, we ran into the issue that you can't do an insert into..exec statement on a loopback linked server that was previously commented on in:
http://www.dbnewsgroups.net/link.aspx?url=http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=124137&SiteID=1
So, for example, if you have a linkedserver to a database that happens to be on the same server as the querying thread, it fails with the message 'context in use'.
The answer from the previous thread was, don't use linked servers when the database is on the same server.
However,
The enviornment in our production system is fairly dynamic -- operations can be expected to move databases around in response to load balancing issues. We were counting on linked servers to make certain (non-performance sensitive) queries without regard to where a given database was located. Accepting that we have to make an exception case where the database lives on the same server means we'll have to have two sets of queries for every case this happens.
Something like
(pseudocode)
If server of linkedserver <> @@server
Insert into table....
Exec linkedserver.database.dbo.sproc
Else
Insert Into Table
exec database.dbo.sproc
(end pseudocode)
This seems pretty kludgy to me -- any suggestions on how to better manage this situation?
Thanks in advance

View 1 Replies View RelatedSql Server Password Policy Requirements
May 30, 2007Hi!
I am installing SQL Server 2005 Express as part of my setup. On Windows 2003 Servers with password policy enabled, the SQL Server 2005 Express installation fails. Here is the error I am getting - "the sa password must meet SQL Server password policy requirements. For strong password guidelines, see Authentication Mode, in SQL Server Books Online.". If I disable the password policy, the SQL Server 2005 Express installation is OK.
Is there a parameter that I can pass to the command line to get around this?
Thanks!

Windows Server 2003 Password Policy And SQL Server 2005
Jun 12, 2007I have a complicated question that involves the password policy defined within Windows Server 2003 and how it is used in Microsoft SQL Server 2005. I recently installed windows server 2003 on my development system. I am a person that prefers to develop in the same OS that our application runs in production. After installing 2003, then a Domain administrator added my machine to our corporate domain. Now, I cannot change the local password policy to allow a simple password. I believe this is due to policy inheriting from the domain that the machine belongs to.
This ties back into SQL Server 2005 because installing sql server on a Server 2003 causes SQL Server 2005 to follow the password policies defined at the OS level. This breaks our application in a subtle way in that we create login accounts for new client databases with random password. Because the password is random it sometimes conforms to the policy and sometimes not.
In production environments, the password policies are configured differently. So I need to one of the following options:
-change the group policy/inherited policy on my machine to not inherity from the domain I joined (prefered solution but don't know HOW)
-change SQL Server to not use OS password policy
-change code to use CREATE LOGIN statement with CHECK_POLICY=OFF or change password generation code to use a stronger password. (don't want to do this as the code change is only accomodating non-production environments)
If someone has a better place to post this question, I would sure appreciate it.

SQL Server 2005 - Changing Passwords With POLICY Enabled
Jun 22, 2007Using SQL Server 2005 SP2 std edition on Windows 2003 R2 SP2 x64 std edition I'm allowed to break the password policy.
To reproduce this behaviour as a system administrator run...
create login testuser with password='p'
This creates a login with the default of POLICY enabled ('Enforce Password Policy' check box is checked). OK, so may be system administrator is allowed to break the policy but now login as testuser and run
alter login testuser with password='t' old_password='p'
This succeeds despite obviously breaking the policy.
Surely this can't be right, I must be doing something wrong.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

SQL 2005 Express Together With SQL 2000 Ent.edt. Microsoft Support
Mar 27, 2007Does Microsoft officially support installing SQL 2005 Express on a server where SQL 2000 Enterprise Edition is already running (a has to keep running).
In case they do, where do i find this official info / note.
Have they released white papers on this matter?
I know it is possible to install the two together and that they can coexist, but I am worried about how the two SQL installations wil behave when being updated with patches, security updates, service packs etc. do you run the possibility of them corrupting each other? Therefor it is vital to know if Microsoft supports the two running on the same system.
Support For Execute DTS 2000 Package Task On Win 64 AMD?
Apr 26, 2006I have imported a series of SQL 2000 DTS packages to our 64bit AMD SQL 2005 server. I then created SSIS pkgs to run each SQL 2000 package using the Execute DTS 2000 package task. Then I deployed these packages to the Yukon server as well.
I can run these packages when launching them via Integration Services from Management Studio on my workstation, but when I try to run them via a SQL Job or the DTExec command on the server, I get this error. Anyone know of a workaround?

Dec 5, 2005Reader Community
I've just started hosting my newly created Microsoft Visual Web Developer 2005 Express Edition web site. Unfortunately the Login group membership functions will not function correctly. Having contacted the web service hosting provider, They replied: "We do not support SQL express2005. The only way to use the extra functions of ASP.NET2 such as group membership is if it is using an SQL 2000 database to connect to. "
Is it possible to design web sites with Microsoft Visual Web Developer 2005 Express Edition that store membership details on an SQL 2000 database?
I've just paid £88 approx. $140 for a years subscription, have I chosen the wrong web service hosting provider?
Should I have designed the web site with a better web site design software tool that also makes designing membership login functionality easy, just as Microsoft Visual Web developer 2005 express edition?
Look forward to all comments?

May 23, 2007What is the best way to disable using the Windows policy requirements when creating a new login?
example: I'm trying to create a login and the password doesn't meet the windows policy requirements. The easy thing to do would be to create a strong password. This isn't an option at the moment. I need to disable this so I can create new users that dont have strong passwords.

Please Help To Design A Payroll Policy
Feb 12, 2008hi,
Please help me in designing one of our payroll policies. i have been trying but unable to find any solution.
i have data in 2 tables :
1. attendance (empid, date, hours, leaveallowed)
2. holidays (date,type) (4 types of holidays like national, weekly offs etc)
Policy: if any employee is not present on both days - the day before and after the holiday then leave allowed is false
attendace table contains the records for all employees who are present and i have to add rows for missing dates where leaveallowed will be false (hours will be zero).
eg. if any employee is absent on friday and monday then leaveallowed for saturday and sunday will be false.
i have tried many things but the best i have is following query that uses cross join with holidays table after adding rows for all dates in holidays (holidays table now looks as calendar)
Code:
SELECT DRVD.empid,DRVD.calendardate,DRVD.holidaytype,
attendance.workhours
FROM attendance RIGHT OUTER JOIN
(SELECT * FROM employees CROSS JOIN calendar
WHERE calendardate < getdate()) DRVD
ON attendance.empid=DRVD.empid
AND attendance.workdate=DRVD.calendardate

Blank Password Policy Problem
Oct 2, 2006Hi all,We recently started to receive complaints about our install project notworking and giving and shitload of error messages related to SQL. Welater found out that the problem was the users we were trying to bindto we're not created because of the domain password policy featureimplemented into SQL Server 2005.After much dabbling around the SQL scripts that created the databasestructure, we came to the conclusion that only this piece of code couldcorrect our problem :CREATE LOGIN mynewuser WITH PASSWORD = '', CHECK_POLICY = OFF,CHECK_EXPIRATION = OFFThis runs perfectly fine on SQL2005, but not on SQL2000. We have beensearching for a way to have code in SQL files executed on install thatdoesn't fail to compile when run against the server and that willbypass the password policy in case it's a SQL Server 2005...Right now we are testing a feature available in MSI that can filterscripts not matching a database version, but the problem with this, isthat we are missing a lot of features that InstallShield has. In short,we need Help to fix this issue and be able to continue withdevelopment.In hopes to receive a a prompt anwser

We were in the process of improving security on some of our new servers, in the windows password policies settings we enabled the following
minimum password length = 6 characters
Password must meet complexity requirments = enabled
sql 2005 authentification was set in mixed mode, but we have tried windows authentification only as well.
Now when you try and add a new user even if the password meets all requirments you get an error password is to short etc, we used sql managment studio both manually creating a user and scripting with sql, both with the same result.
In the shared hosting environment we need passwords to be secure, the only way we can get sql users to be created is to disable windows password policies which causes security problems.
We would prefer to use sql authentification not windows but even when we use sql authent it still seems to use the windows password policy and the same error occurs
has anyone else found this problem?
could do with a fix asap!
SQL Login Enforce Password Policy
Mar 20, 2007I have a 3 node cluster running windows 2003 x64 sp1 and SQL Server 2005 version 9.00.2153. My problem is the following...
This Saturday I migrated a web application's database to this server. After restoring the database I created the sql login for the service account, set the password and disabled the password policy for this login. I then ran sp_change_users_login to attach the already existing db user with the same name to the login. I changed the connection string for the application, tested the application connectivity and functionality then detatched the old database on the old server. Everything went like clockwork, no problems at all.
Come Monday morning at 8:35 I started getting alerts that the web site was down. I tested the site and sure enough it was down. I then attempted to connect to the database server using the login that was created for the app and the connection failed. I logged in with my ID and got in fine. Nothing showing to be wrong with the DB, I checked the new login and somehow the "Enable Password Policy" had been set for the new login. I disabled it and still no connection. I went to the database and checked the DB user and somehow the link between it and the login no longer existed. I reran the sp_change_users_login and restested the web site and verified that that web site was back online.
My question is this, is there any stored proc that resets these values back to default for some reason, a series of events that might revert the "Enable Password Policiy" to the default for a login, or is there a particular domain level operation that might occur such as Security Polcies that would affect these settings in SQL?
No one else was on the machine when I went to check it out at 8:40 so it has left me puzzled.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

-Contain 3 of the 4 following character groups
- A to Z
- a to z
- 0 to 9
- Special Characters i.e. ! ^ $ *
