Unable To Run SQL Agent With A Service Account Not In Admin Group
Jul 26, 2007
Am trying to run SQL Server Agent with a service account which is not in the Administrators group. Have done the following -
1. Removed the service account from the Administrators group on the machine
2. Assigned sysadmin privileges to the service account
3. Added it to the SQLServer2005SQLAgentUser$ComputerName$MSSQLSERVER role
4. Through SQL Configuration Manager assigned this account to the SQL Server Agent service
However, this does not start the Agent as a service. What is it that is missing?

Hi all,
I do understand that it is highly recomended to have aserprate user (perfered a domain user account) for each of the SQL Server service and SQL Agent service.
What is the reason behind that? (Someone told me to not run the service with an account that has a powerul privilegs! - I don't undrstanmd this point can you explain it please?)
What is the diffrent between: 1- Local System account 2 -Network Service account
Thanks in advanced!

I recently enabled log shipping on our production database, and I had initially accepted the default of 72 hours to delete copied logs. Well, i am running out of space quick, and I need to edit it to something like 6 hours.
When I try to disable log shipping in order to recreate it, or if I try to edit the secondary server settings when I am logged in as SA, or my windows account which has the sysadmin role assigned, I get an error that says:
Only members of the sysadmin fixed server role can perform this operation. Error 21089.
I've restarted the sql service, disabled and enabled the permission on my account, but for the life of me, i cannot get this to work!

Hi am
i am facing problem adding a domain group to the reporting services.
while setting the security of a report, i am getting the rsUnknownUserName error while adding a domain group.

can somebody tell me whats the problem with this.
i am able to add other domain group belonging to the same domain and the SSRS accepts but not this particular domain group which is like any other domain group.

Hi,
If we were to assign permissions to a backup agent such as Backup Exec to backup the databases on the SQL server, what role would give the least amount but sufficient permissions to perform the backup? I know domain admin would make the agent a local admin and therefore allow it to back up the database but is there a role available to allow backup only?
Please note that I'm referring to a domain account used by Backup Exec to directly backup the databases rather than sql server agent.
Thanks.

what is considered best practice for privileges etc on the sql agent service account and long term need for that account to run ssis packages? I tried to understand and appreciate the article at http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/sql/2005/newsqlagent.mspx but felt like either it was overkill or I wasnt getting it.

I'm thinking of using SQL Server Agent Service for my PDA app. But, I want to use different accounts for SQL Server and SQL Server Agent Service. How can we do this in SQL Server 2005? Do we do this when installing it? Thanks

If you were to do a fresh install it would set permissions on the disk so everything just works.
Now when changing the service account (e.g. to a domain user) use the configuration manager, does it do the same magic (possibly sans if the database data/log files are on another disk)? Or do you need to trawl through the dozens of folders and assign rights manually?

I'm trying to connect to a database using a service account that we got created. The ID is an AD account and was added to the db as such. When I try to connect to the database using the account with the password I get [login failed for domainid]. The DBA mentioned that its setup to use windows auth, however, I can't connect with this service account using windows Auth, due to I'm using to connect via code.
How can I connect to the database from my code using this ID?
I have the ID and pwd in my code to connect with, does the ID have to be setup differently in the Database?

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
SQL Server could not spawn FRunCM thread. Check the SQL Server error log and the Windows event logs for information about possible related problems.
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.
FCB::Open failed: Could not open file E:MSSQL$STAGINGDatamodel.mdf for file number 1. OS error: 5(Access is denied.).
TDSSNIClient initialization failed with error 0x5, status code 0x1.
TDSSNIClient initialization failed with error 0x5, status code 0x90.
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 working with a client who is rolling out 50+ VM's based of a template we created. This is SQL 2012 CU1 running on Windows Server 2008 R2. Using the default service account the installer has it registers fine and we get the following in the SQL log.
The SQL Server Network Interface library successfully registered the Service Principal Name (SPN) [ MSSQLSvc/server.domain.com:1433 ] for the SQL Server service.
When we change to a domain service account through SQL configuration manager we see the following and cannot connect remote using integrated authentication The SQL Server Network Interface library could not register the Service Principal Name (SPN) [ MSSQLSvc/server.domain.com:1433 ] for the SQL Server service. Windows return code: 0x2098, state: 15. Failure to register a SPN might cause integrated authentication to use NTLM instead of Kerberos. This is an informational message. Further action is only required if Kerberos authentication is required by authentication policies and if the SPN has not been manually registered.
My understanding is you should and could change service accounts using the SQL Server Configuration Manager and it would set all permissions. Is there something we need to do in addition to get this up and working?

A user was created with a limited privilege under the USERS group. Once this user loged in the Report Manager he is acting like an Admin and Content Manager, though he is not given even a browser role.
What do u think that this guy is acting like a Super User evenif he is restricted to a browser role on the Report Manager ????????????
I did all my best, but no luck so far

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 setup SQL Server 2012 on Windows Server 2012 with the service accounts in the local Administrator group, but now that I'd like to remove the accounts from this group I'm finding they don't have the appropriate access to the network storage. notes on setting the per-service SID's for SQL (SQL Engine, Analysis Services, Reporting Services, and Agent Service) so they can read the Data, Log, and TempDB mount points?

How to change the SQL Server Express or SQL Server Agent service account programatically using C# 2.0 ?
actually, I do know all the other methods like using SQL Server Configuration Manager in SQL Server 2005 or Manage My Computer dialoge. But I really need to do this using C# 2.0.
Why I need this?
I want to do this as a part of an installation procedure to make the user able to backup his database anywhere with any priveleges. And I dont wanna him to do this manually as he is not an expert at all or even a novice.
Can any one help on that ?
Thanks in advance

Hello! I have the following problem. I developed CLR Stored Procedure "StartNotification" and deploy it on db. This sp calls external web service. Furthermore, this sp is called according with SQL Server Agent Job's schedule. On my PC SQL Server works under Local System account and this web service is called correctly (Executed as user: NT AUTHORITYSYSTEM). But on ther other server the following exception is raised during job running:
Date 17.04.2007 16:42:10

Sql Severity 16
Sql Message ID 6522
Operator Emailed
Operator Net sent

Message
Executed as user: CORPmssqlserver.
A .NET Framework error occurred during execution
of user defined routine or aggregate 'StartNotification':
System.Security.SecurityException: Request for the permission of type

at System.Security.CodeAccessSecurityEngine.Check(Object demand,
StackCrawlMark& stackMark, Boolean isPermSet)
at System.Security.CodeAccessPermission.Demand()
at System.Net. The step failed.
What is the reason of this behaviour? Unfortunately I do not have direct access to this server.
I have the following guesses:
1) CORPmssqlserver may have not enough permissions to call web service
2) Something wrong with SQL Server account's permissions
2) Something wrong with SQL Server Agent account's permissions
I will take the will for the deed. Thanks.

Microsoft recommends that you do not use the Network Service account to run the SQL Server service (see http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms143504.aspx).
Can anyone tell me what the drawbacks are of doing this?

Okay now this is weird, today the Reporting Services was not running and here are the entries in the event log:
Event Type: Error
Event Source: Service Control Manager
Event Category: None
Event ID: 7041
Date: 12/12/2007
Time: 9:47:22
User: N/A
Computer: TFS
Description:
The ReportServer service was unable to log on as DOMAINTFSREPORTS with the currently configured password due to the following error:
Logon failure: the user has not been granted the requested logon type at this computer.
Service: ReportServer
Domain and account: DOMAINTFSREPORTS
This service account does not have the necessary user right "Log on as a service."
User Action
Assign "Log on as a service" to the service account on this computer. You can use Local Security Settings (Secpol.msc) to do this. If this computer is a node in a cluster, check that this user right is assigned to the Cluster service account on all nodes in the cluster.
If you have already assigned this user right to the service account, and the user right appears to be removed, a Group Policy object associated with this node might be removing the right. Check with your domain administrator to find out if this is happening.
For more information, see Help and Support Center at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp
I am the administrator of the machines and I can assure you that no domain policy has changed for a couple of weeks. What should I look for?

I have a bit of problem I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction. I have a SQL Server
2005 database which leverages both the Membership and Roles APIs. When I recreate
the database for production release, I simply run an sql file using the sqlcmd
utility - no problem. What I need is a way to add a default administrator role,
account and assign this new administrator to the administrator role.Can someone advise on how this is typically handled?

If someone can tell if it is wise change the SA account password after all of your databases have been set up using NT Authentication for login. Also, by using the sa password at login are you providing more security and and who should have access to that password (Your developers or your Administrators?)

Please let me know what specific privileges an user account needs to be used as LOG ON AS account for SQL Server Agent in SQL Server 2005.
Does the account needs to me in the domain administrator group?

Well, this is very confusing.
I have 2 servers that are members of the same AD Domain.
I need an account that can login to either one, but needs to be able to start a service, which my network admin says a local domain administrator cannot do.
So, I just decided to create an account with the same name, properties and password on both machines.
This I did. The account is a member of local Windows Administrator group on each server. Additionally, it is an SQL account on the SQL Server local instance, and a member of the SysAdmin group.
I can assign this account to SQL Server as the startup account (Log in with this account). That works fine.
However, when I assign this account to SQL Server, then SQL Server Agent quits running. So I try to assign this same account to this service and I get an error that the account 'Unknown' cannot login and needs to be a member of the SysAdmin group!??
This is a completely confusing error message since the account is a Windows Admin, SQL Server SysAdmin account and can start SQL Server fine without a hitch.
Anyone else having this very annoying problem ?!

Re: SQL Server 2005
Does the xp_cmdshell proxy account need admin-level permissions on the server?
The reason I ask this is because I keep getting "Access is Denied" errors when trying to run this command as a non-admin:
master..xp_cmdshell dtexec 'some package'
The 'some package' has an "execute process task" which calls a batch file on the server.
If the proxy account is NOT a local admin, the "execute process tasks" fails with an "Access is Denied" error.
If the proxy account is a local admin, it executes fine.
We have given "Everyone" FULL CONTROL of all the folders that are affected by the batch file, and it still does not work.
I am out of ideas at this point. It just does not work unless it's an admin.
Are we missing something here?

Who needs to invoke the jobs in SQL05? Manually executing the job import_myteam as a user with dbo privileges fails. So, which user account should be assigned to successfully run scheduled jobs (ie, dbo)?
The package file for the job in question is located in the server€™s C:Documents and SettingsuserxyzMy DocumentsVisual Studio 2005ProjectsIntegration Services Project3Integration Services Project3MyTeam (1).dtsx, but this still fails when the user userxyz is logged on and is executing the job directly from the server console.
Step1 of the package executes as userxyz
Step 2 fails and runs as cpmc-casql02
The user account userxyz has administrator rights to the server as well as being a sysadmin of the SQL2005 database (named cpcasql02).
The account cpmc-casql02 is a €œpublic€? user of the database and is a member of the administrator group on the server itself.
This same scenario carries for tasks as simple as truncating a table and importing the contents of another table in the same database.
All of these jobs exhibit the same behavior whether run directly from the server console on remotely from a workstation connected to the SQL2005 database.
Attempting to get a really simple job working, we also created a very simple SSIS package which does a select from a database table and writes the output to a text file. When running the same package from the user€™s workstation within Visual Studio, the package executes successfully. Once copied to the server, and run from within SQLServer as MyJunePackage however, the execution fails in the same manner as described above. The first step executes successfully as the logged-in user and the second fails executed under the account cpmc-casql02.
So, again we have the same behavior of sequential steps being run as different users with unsatisfactory results. Please advise as to how to set up these jobs to run correctly and consistently.
Thanks very much,Eric W

I'm working on a newly installed windows 2012 R2 server which has SQL Server 2012 and SSMS installed on it. What has been odd is that when I open the "restore database" dialog, in the "Select Backup Devices", "Locate Backup File" dialog, only the immediate folders off of the root of the E: drive are visible. E: is where sql server data and backup files are stored.
The account I am logged in with is supposed to have Enterprise Admin rights. How is can I not see these folders and files? The files are certainly there and are visible to me on that login with windows explorer. I am able to backup via SSMS without issue.
When I look at the folder's permissions everything seems normal. If I add "Everyone" to that folder's permissions the folders and files become visible. The SQL Server service is running on the NT ServiceMSSQLSERVER account, which is normal for my other installations of sql server.

I have a SQL 2005 server and I am trying to run the SQL Agent service under a minimal permission account. Currently the service will run fine and perform all functions if it's account is a member of the administrators group on the local machine. As soon as I remove it from the local administrators group it fails to start and the only message recorded in the log for the agent is:
[241] Startup error: Unable to initialize error reporting system (reason: The EventLog service has not been started)
[098] SQLServerAgent terminated (normally)
And given the service works fine as an administrator I doubt there is anything wrong with the eventlog service. I have also checked and the eventlog service is indeed running, recording, and operating properly. I am at a loss as to what to do next, i've followed the directions available on MSDN for doing this but it still doesn't work.
