I have configured a Linked Server with Active Directory (LDAP), working properly.
Now, through this Linked Server, I need information about password expiration date in my AD Domain accounts.
We need to use SQL Server Authentication for some reason and would like to enforce Password Policy with 90-day expiration period. I found "Change password" dialogue appears when I first logged in with the new user, but don't know
(1)what happens when the user failed to change the password before it's expired or
(2)how a user can change his password in advance of the expiration date with no particular server-level permission.
This has to be a simple question for most of you, so here goes.My passwords for sa and another login that I created keep resetting.How can I turn off password expiration in SQL Server 2000?Thanks!MB

The LDAP does require authentication and I think that is where the problem lies, but if anyone can tell me if there is a way to do this and what the steps are I would greatly appreciate it.
View 2 Replies View RelatedHi,I have successfully set and used a linked server to query ADSI.Since this question also concerns MSSQLServer, I've cross posted it --I hope this is not a breach of etiquette.I have successly created a view based on the linked server.Unfortunately, it only shows 1000 records, and there does not seem tobe any way to set the Page Size.I found the following:http://support.microsoft.com/defaul...kb;en-us;243281Which seems to imply that the default can be set by changing registrykey: "HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwarePoliciesMicrosoftWind owsDirectoryUI"I have set this key, and also set it for the user account under whichMSSQLServer runs. The value persists after a reboot. The Domain Grouppolicy sets the default to 15000.This behaviour is not restricted to the linked server. If I use thescript found here:http://hacks.oreilly.com/pub/h/1121 I can access morethan 1000 records, but only if I set the "Page Size" property. If Icomment it out to let the default hold, it is 1000.It must be settable SOMEWHERE or the whole linked server thing is ofvery limited use.At present, the best solution I've been able to come up with is to usethe above script modified to run as a DTS package. Yuck.TIA,BM
View 2 Replies View RelatedHello,
I am building a winforms .net 3.5 application which connects to a SQL Server 2005 database with SQL server authentication. Is it possible to access the SQL Server password policy and expiration through the .NET 3.5 framework? I would like add the following functionality to my login form:
Ensure passwords meet policy standard.
Prompt a user to change their password when it is due to expire in 5 days or less.
Thanks in advance.
This is something that should not be so difficult, but it is proving to be very cumbersome.
I need to query an LDAP database on a Linux server FROM a sql server, namely sql server 2005.
I have found bits and pieces, but can€™t seem to put it all together yet €“ it should be easy, but it€™s proving to be very difficult.
It seems like you can either link an LDAP server through sp_addlinkedserver OR through enterprise manager/sql server studio, you can create a LINKED SERVER.
The problem is HOW to do this.
Here are the parameters for the ldap server:
Server name: serverabc
Ldap info (which I don€™t know how to label) is: 'ou=Hosts,dc=mc,dc=vanderbilt,dc=edu'.
I was able to somehow get this to work last week, but now it€™s not working - it didn't return any data, as i don't have any ldap hierarchy specified, but at least it came back with "command completed successfully":
SELECT * FROM OPENQUERY( [serverabc],
'SELECT * FROM ''LDAP://serverabcu/ OU=Hosts,DC=mc,DC=vanderbilt,DC=edu''
')
With all the ldap usage out there, this is really frustrating not being able to find out how to do this.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Numerous articles (e.g., http://www.microsoft.com/sql/techinfo/administration/2000/security/securingsqlserver.asp, even one that I wrote, http://www.dbazine.com/sql/sql-articles/cook12) state that to secure SQL Server, the SQL Server services should not run as Local System. That advice is useful only if making the change is not overly disruptive or is even allowable. My two most recent clients have absolutely rigid password expiration policies that require all account passwords to be changed at regular intervals. Realistically, that makes a compelling case for running as Local System.
View 4 Replies View Related I have two tables totally unrelated but give the same information, the difference is the duration. I need to create a stored procedure that will give the recent issue dates only, accept if they have already expired. I'm not exactly sure how to do that. We only want the employees to see the current issue date as long as the exclusion has not expired. Can anyone help please. What needs to happen is that the employees need to see only the exclusions that have expired which is based on the Expiration Date.

I have a question on how the retain parameter works for Backups. If I have a nightly full backup for a database and have retain = 10, does that mean on the 11th day the very first backup will be purged? Will the 11th backup attempt to take up some of the space that was occupied by that first backup? It seems that the 11th backup would be too large for the space that the first backup was taking up. I am fairly new to backups with SQL Server and want to ensure I am setting this up properly. Our goal is to keep backups for 10 days only.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a table containing several date fields in which certain events happened, and I need to be able to find the expiration date for renewal. The expiration dates are at the end of the 6th, 12th, or 24th month after the event occurred, depending on the event.
Is there a way to return in a query the last day of month x following a date field? For instance, if the date '3/12/2006' is stored in the field for a 12-month expiration, I need to return '3/31/2007'.
Any ideas?
Hi There
This may seem like a stupid question but i am trying to get the hang of the new security model.
I have not really heard anything mentioned about certficate expiration date when it comes to creating certificates for keys or service broker endpoints etc.
We have created certificates for keys and service broker endpoints, now what exactly happens when the expiration date, by default 1 year i think is reached, will we no longer be able to decrypt encrypted data and will the service broker endpoints stop working etc ?
Or is this expiration date when the certificate can no longer be used to create security objects ? And all security objects already created with this certificate will always work ?
In other words is there ever danger that keys and endpoints or basically any object referrencing this certificate will just suddenly stop working one day, or will all objects work indefinately regardless of an certificate/objects expiration date ?
Thanx
I currently have an ldap query in a stored procedure that is working fine but is checking the 'whenCreated' attribute against a hardcoded data.
SELECT * FROM OpenQuery (
 ADSI, Â

How can I modify the hardcoded date (''20130101000000.0Z'') to check against current_date - 7 days?
First question: I have sql server 2005 enterprise eval edition installed. is there a query, command or tool can tell me the exact expiration date? I understand it is 180 day but I still want some way to query the exact date.
Second question: does sql server log any warning message before eval expires?
Is there any way I can check the remaining time before I must upgrade
an SQL Server 2000 Evaluation Edition? I thought I had made a note about
which day it was.
Can I rely upon the file date for uninstallation file in Programs/etc ?
I would like to filter records with in effective date and expiration date; If there is no record within that range, then check for grace period records ( effective date -30 days and expiration date + 90 days)
Below is the detailed script for sample data...
declare @tab table ( sno int identity, name varchar(100), EFFECTIVE_DATE date, EXPIRATION_DATE date)
insert into @tab (name, EFFECTIVE_DATE , EXPIRATION_DATE )
SELECT 'chandu', GETDATE(), NULL union all
SELECT 'chandu', '2014-02-11 00:00:00' , '2014-03-20 00:00:00' union all
SELECT 'AAA', '2014-01-11 00:00:00' , '2014-05-11 00:00:00' union all

Hello guys,
I have developed a stored procedure that create linked server. The problem is:
to crearte the linked server I need to pass user and password. How can I pass user and password in a encrypted way.
I think that if the stored proc execute: addlinkedserver procedures with user and password, these are readable to everybody with sniffer or SQL profile.
How can I pass encrypted password to SQL server engine to create a linked server?
Thank

Is there a way in SQL2005 to copy the linked server password from SQL2000?
We are about to copy our SQL 2000 database to SQL 2005 (and change operating systems and make other changes to the system). We can't do an upgrade in place because of the other changes, plus we want to have the original in case we can't get it updated before the start of business the next day.
I plan to move the databases by copying the files and attaching them, and I have a program that pulls users and encrypted passwords and adds them to the new system without encrypting the already encrypted passwords. Jobs I can script and run on the new system, DTS jobs I can open and save to the new system, and linked servers I can get the names of and link on the new server.
In SQL 2000 I would have "cheated" and copied the "DTS" and "Jobs" tables from one server to the other, but SQL 2005 has made it more complicated, so I will do it the slower way.
The problem comes with the linked server passwords. While I can see the linked server data in the master system tables, including the names and that there is an encrypted password. The problem is I don't know the passwords, so I can't enter it myself, and I can't update the system table, so I can't insert it as is. And sp_addlinkedsrvlogin does not have an option to not re-encrypt the password (like @encryptopt = 'skip_encryption' in sp_addlogin).
Is there a way to figure out the password, or copy/insert the password without having it re-encrypt? In SQL2000 I would have done:
update A set
name = b.name,
password = b.password
from sysxlogins A, sysxlogins B
where A.srvid = 22
and B.srvid = 11
But SQL 2005 will not allow you to do this kind of update (allow updates has no effect).
Thanks, Tim
PS - Anything I might have missed that anyone can suggest, or any faster method of copying the database? We have a limited maintenance window to do this upgrade, so anything I can do ahead of time will help. Thanks again. Tim

View 9 Replies View RelatedI need to replicate database from one of LINKED server to another SQL instance on a different server. What will be a best way to achive this ? I'm using MS SQL server 2008 r2
- Should I just take a backup of my current database and restore it (Will this also cover up access to objects for different users, or do I need to write a separate script for it).
OR
-Should I go to TASK > generate scripts and create one... Here I believe I need to additionally take care of access rights, indexes, constraints.
basically, we have two databases, one with fix name, eg. DB1 in all environments, and another is named with prefix based on environment, eg. DB2_DEV, DB2_TEST, that is generated by some managed application.Â
Then we have queries or view/SPs residing in the first database, eg. DB1 that access database resources from the second database, DB2_***. Both databases are residing in the same SQL instance.
Currently, we have hardcoded the database name in the query but would prefer not to manually rename or write other scripts to update the query with the correct database name when deploying to other environments.
For example:
SELECT * FROM DB2_DEV.dbo.vAccounts
When deploy to TEST, we need to update the query to:
SELECT * FROM DB2_TEST.dbo.vAccounts
So, I looked at Synonyms but it seems it can only create 'alias' for tables or views, and not database.
Hence, last thought is to create self linked server, so I can write my query like below and setup the linked server accordingly.
SELECT * FROM SRCDB.dbo.vAccounts
Any consideration to think of, eg. performance, security, etc?

I have a number of sprocs on myDb2008 that call TVFs and sprocs on myDb2014. This worked fine when they were both on the same instance.

Copying a backup file is not an option either, and Mailing it on media make it a significant delay.

I have very unusual question. I have seen a query that looks something like this:
SELECT A, B, C FROM 'LDAP://abc.def.com'
What exactly does this mean? Could such a query be executed in the SQL Server Management Studio? Where would such a table/database be actually located?
