When installing SQLEXPRESS I am getting this message:
Setup failed because service MSSQL$SQLExpress is disabled for the current hardware profile. Services must be set with the current Hardware Profile logon property enabled.
Hi I installed I had connected to the database. I went as disabled login and now I cant connect. All I get is error message 18470. How can I get this to connect? thanks Jack
I have come across this error message in ssrs and cannot seem to locate the error. Report manager lets me logon-- I can navigate to the folder but once I click on the actual report I get this error
Greetings:I am trying to conceive what risks might be created by runningmultiple SQL servers within a domain under a single domain account, asopposed to 1) running under the local service account or 2) multipledomain service accounts.In this case, all the SQL servers are SQL2000 running on Win2003. Theservice account is assigned only to the "Domain Users" group.We do use linked server calls, and I have played and suceeded gettingKereberos up to avoid double hop issues when using Windows Auth. Infact, this is one of the reasons that sparked the question in my mind-- in all the MS Kerebos SQL<->SQL examples, the SQL servers run undera unique service account.As an aside, most of the servers are "line of business" servers, butHR runs under a unique server with more sensitive information. I don'treally think that merits a seperate service account, but again, Icould well be missing something.I mostly looking for food for thought, but concrete examples ofgotchas would be appreciated.Thanks all.d.
I receive an error message in event log when i try to connect to the Database Server using ODBC on a client machine. The database server is running on Windows 2003 Server Standard Edition and the client machine is Windows XP Professional. Following is the error message from the event log:
2147467259 - [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]Login failed for user 'sa' because the account is currently locked out. The system administrator can unlock it.
What causes the error to occur and how to resolve it?Appreciate for your assistence.
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.
I use ALTER QUEUE statement to disable a Service Broker QUEUE then i see message -Service Queue is currently disabled every 5 sec in SQL server error Log. How can i stop this messages it is enought to see it only one time?
Well I downloaded an example (HelloWorld) from www.SQLServiceBroker.com yesterday and it WAS working this morning, however; now I'm getting this error:
Use sp_configure 'user instances enabled' to generate user instances.
I get the above error when I attempt to add an SQL Database item into my VS (C#) project. I do not understand what needs to be done to correct the problem.
During startup one of my servers, containing a default and a named instance of 2005, receives the following error.
Message Service Broker is disabled in MSDB or MSDB failed to start. Server level event notifications can not be delivered. Event notifications with FAN_IN in other databases could be affected as well.
The system databases for both instances were restored using backups from another instance. How do I confirm if Service Broker is enabled or disabled and why would I get this message? Is it due to restoring master or msdb?
I am using the Centralized Asynchronous Auditing with Service Broker article example to set up my first Service Broker attempt. We want to start logging search criteria and search results for our product search page. We wanted it to be asynchronous and be stored in another dbase, this seemed like the perfect example.
I modified the example above to save into an Audit table we created and to read a custom message that I generated the XML for. I'm pretty certain that should all work. However, I didn't change much else but I can't get the message to send.
This is the error I'm getting in profiler: This message could not be delivered because the destination queue has been disabled. Queue ID: 197575742.
I am sending from one database to another within the same SQL server instance. Here are the profiler details SQL:BatchStarting EXEC dbo.usp_SendAuditData @X Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio - Query Larry APP1Larry Broker:Conversation Group Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio - Query Larry Broker:Conversation STARTED_OUTBOUND Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio - Query Larry Broker:Conversation CONVERSING Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio - Query Larry Broker:Message Classify Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio - Query Larry Broker:Message Undeliverable This message could not be delivered because the destination queue has been disabled.

When I run SELECT * FROM sys.transmission_queue I get this in the transmission_status: "One or more messages could not be delivered to the local service targeted by this dialog."
I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direciton, thanks.
Hi,This is probably a classic scenario with a shared dimension that weneed to use in different cubes, where all fact tables do not offer thesame level of detail. Dimension is snow-flaked.The cube that's causing me troubles was designed by marking the lowestdimension level Diabled and not Visible. This allows me to get rid ofone of the snow-flake tables (the one with the lowest level), thusallowing an INNER JOIN with the remaining table which has a level ofdetail corresponding to the fact table.When processing the cube, I get a 'member with key '[blah]' was foundin the fact table but was not found in the level '[blah]' of thedimension '[blah]'' that seems to indicate that none of my fact foreignkeys exist as primary keys in the dimension table. However if I thenattempt to query the cube, all data seems to be there.Would anybody be in a position (and willing ;-)) to share his/her ownexperience working around a similar issue?Thanks,SRL
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'm trying to set a proxy account for the SQL agent. The user is Local administrator on the SQL Server when I try to set the account I get a message back that says "The system cannot find the path specified." I get the same error with TSQL too.

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.
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.
I am trying to create a job that runs a SSIS package. I am getting the following error:
Message Unable to start execution of step 1 (reason: Error authenticating proxy domainsckeels, system error: Logon failure: unknown user name or bad password.). The step failed.

I just inherited a SQL Server that was set up by a non-DBA. It`s running NT 4.0 and SQL Server 6.50 - 6.50.201 (the vendor hasn`t certified the product on SP4). I am trying to change the SQL Executive Service to use a non-system logon account. The account that I want to use is running SQL Executive on 9 other servers.
I went into Usrmgr and added the account to the administrators group. Made sure that it has rights to: log on as a service, log on as a batch job, increase quotas, act as part of the operating system, replace a process level token.
When I try to change to that id in services, I get the following error:
"cannot set the startup parameters for SQL Executive service. Error 1057 occurred. The account name is invalid or does not exist."
Looking in Technet, I found that if "log on as a service" isn`t set you could get this message but I`ve check/re-checked, had someone else check and it`s set.
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
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.
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

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.

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
I am trying to form a replication system but at the very beginning i couldn't pass an obstacle. While trying to create the Replication it says i have to change the user which starts the SQL Agent because the current starter user account is a system account and this will make the replication between servers fail. "SQL Server Agent on OZN currently uses the system account, which causes the replication between the servers fail. In the following dialog box, specify another account for the service startup account." I change it in the properties dialog box of the SQL Server Agent. The new account is the one I formed and granted accordingly. But it gives the following error when I try to apply the changes. " Error 22042: xp_SetSQLSecurity() returned error -2147023564, 'No mapping between account names and security IDs was done' "
I tried many things, searched in the net, changed the owner of the database, applied new accounts, many grants, applied service pack 4, etc...
If anyone helps it will be very much appreciated. Thanks in advance...
I am running a named instance of SQL Server 2005 Enterprise Edition, side by side with named instance of SQL Server 2000 in Windows Server 2003. When I start the installation. I am unable to proceed from authentication stage.
The error description for Database Services and Reporting Services under both sa and windows authentication mode is: Encryption not supported on client Sqlcmd error: Microsoft SQL Native client: Client Unable to establish connection
In Service Manager, all SQL Server 2005 services are running with Logon as Administrator, and I am also able to connect to SSAS, SSRS, SSIS via Management studio both via Windows authentication and sa account information.
Would you please inform if I have to change any security settings before SP2 installation here.
How to add myself a Sql Server Administrator. The link in Surface Area Configuration to Add new Administrator doesn't work.
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. "
I am facing a problem which is based on the restrictions on the domain of the customer. After deplyoing the report on the server we are getting the following error message in the report manager after executing (clicking) a report link:
Logon failed.
Logon failure: the user has not been granted the requested logon type at this computer. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80070569)
I googled for that and it seems to be an authentication issue where some user / account is not granted to log on as service / locally, but the problems is better described than the solutions. Did anyone faced that problem so far ? Which account has to be granted what priviledges or permissions in Windows. We are using a SQL Server 2005 / Reporting Services 2005 running on the same machine whereas the virtual directories Reports and Reportserver are running in a separate Application Pool

I 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.
