Hi!
I'm using RDA from my Windows Mobile. On my developer computer I've set up anonymous authentication against my IIS. Now I want to set it up for real. What access should the RdaUser account have that I use in IIS to be able to work correct against the Sql Server 2005? Is User group preveliges ok? In Sql Server 2005 do I need to add the RdaUser to Server Logins and map against my database?

I have two servers that are setup to use their local system account.
They are in the same workgroup, but aren't on a domain.
Is there a way to setup replication without a domain? If so, how?
Thanks in advance

Hi all,I would like to know how I can retrieve the user ID and password from the DB if I have created a new user account using SQL server 2000? I want to create a login page in .aspx page but I am not sure how I can pull out the login info from the DB and then compare with the uesr input? Is that any specific table store the user ID and password by default?I would be very appreciated for any code example in both conditions (window authentication and SQL server authentication). Thanks.

My original account on the AD (Active Directory) was Usr129 and at that time I had installed MSDE on my local box - due to which my "local MSSQLServer" was also called Usr129.
Sometime back our LAN administrator renamed the accounts of all users. My new account on the AD (after this renaming) became GBUsr1177. Untill recently, my "local MSSQLServer" also appeared to have easily go through this renaming activity and thus my local installation became GBUsr1177.
Recently I started to have performance problem (on everything that I do on my local SQL installation via Enterprise manager) and I have this "feeling" that probably at the bacground it is still searching for the old SQL installation???
Can someone please guide me regarding how to get out of this (without re-installating everything).
New to SQL Server. Plan to install SQL Server 2005 standard edition on Windows 2k3. After searched a lot of places, still don't understand what exactly "domain user account" is. Could someone explain it to me?
1. Is this a OS account where SQL Server is running?
2. Or, is this an account under domain controller on other machine? Is this an account on DNS srver? How do I create it?
3. Or, is this an account in SQL Server?
Where is this account located? How do I manage it?
TIA.
I found the the status of guest account in model database is abnormal,but i don't know how to make it active.
any suggestions?
thanks

View 5 Replies View RelatedDuring install of SQL Server 2005, we can of course use a domain account or the built-in system account for running the services.

View 6 Replies View Relatedwhats the simplest way to migrate a user account from a master development SQL server to local development sql servers and also to a production server?
we can recreate the SQL account everywhere, but if we take a backup from one machine and restore to another, we loose access because the accounts arent truly the same account.
I need to be able to have users run a query under the 'sa' account that will create another account that will just be used for reading and writing to a specific database. Is there a way to do this with just a sql script or can you only set up logins and accounts from the enterprise manager?

I managed to recover the database without loosing any data but in the
process the database user accounts became out of sychn. with sql logins.
I resolved most of these by deleting the accounts from the sysusers table for the database.
the one problem I have remaining is that the user dbo for the database has login value of blank or null... how do I get around this, I tried using sp_change_users_login but it sql did not like it.

Hi,
I want to use a domain user account not belonging to local admin or domain admin groups in SQL 2000/2005 Enterprise edition. This is what I've done so far..
On the machine that is the Domain Controller:
- installed SQL 2005 as a domain admin
- created a domain user account using Active Directory Users and Computers. This user is only
"Member of" domain users; not any Administrators group.
- added this user to SQL Server Management Studio->Logins and in Server Roles assigned
sysadmin role.
Question 1: Do I need to give any additional permissions to this user to work with SQL?
Question 2: How can I test this user for basic SQL operations like database creation? Can I use Osql?
Question 3: Can I use this user account to login to my domain controller using remote desktop? I tried adding this user to remote users, but in vain.
Thanks!

I'm developing a client-server application using Visual Basic and SQL Server
6.5 for 700 users. The application currently requires users to login to the
database using their network account (via trusted connections). Each of the
users takes up a maximum of 6 connections. Unfortunately, other
considerations will force us to discard use of trusted connections. So it
only leaves us either to create 700 user accounts on SQL Server separately
from their network logins or to create one SQL Server account and everybody
uses that same account to login to the database. For political reasons, the
customer would prefer not to ask their support group to maintain 700 user
accounts on SQL Server if it can be avoided.
My question: is there any technical limitation or other negative consequence
of having 700 users login to the same account to SQL Server if SQL Server
can handle that many connections (it would be 6*700 = 4200 connections)
simultaneously? Are we supposed to do things like this? It seems that we
don’t have better choice than this.
Hi everyone -
Is there a way to display the current password for a user account

View 4 Replies View RelatedWho 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 have some script which creates/grant priveleges to windows/nt users to DB but i frequently get the message below:
Windows NT user or group '<user or group>' not found. Check the name again.
I understand that this is because the said user/group is indeed not present in the environment I'm running the script (ie. testing and production environment).
But is it possible to have some sort of checking whether the user/group exists in the environment so that I could determine whether or not to call some lines of code?
Not sure if this is possible so i had to ask. c",)
How would Set permissions Sql Server 2005 so that I can access a asp page created in VWD and Sql Express.
On the production server i have just the one instance of Sql
I have the following connection string in the web config file:
<connectionStrings>
<add name="ConnectionString" connectionString="server=serversNameXPRESS;uid=aspuser;pwd=aspuserPassworkd;database=DATABName" />
</connectionStrings>
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.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Please forgive my ignorance, I am by no means a SQL Expert, but have encountered a strange issue.
I have 6 SQL Servers, Primarily SQL 2005 (one older SQL 2000) all loaded on Windows Server 2003 SP1.
We use the servers for a proprietary database that we created which is the backend to a software package we sell.
The issue I have is: We have added a Security account to the servers, and in one case we have granted rights for this account to the TempDB system database. However, whenever we restart this server SQL drops this user account, thus severing connectivity for the app that is relying on that account.
I have set the account as DB-Owner etc, but nothing sems to keep it on re-start.
Any input would be greatly appreciated.
I would like to write code to delete and add a SQL Login to every User database on my development server.
Whenever I restore databases to dev using production backups the SQl Server logins are invalid and I need to delete them from the user database and add them again.
I've already hard-coded a sql server job with n steps... a step for each user database to drop and add this sql user to each database. This isn't optimal since I have to add or delete a step everytime a user database is added or deleted.
Does anyone know how to write a loop or cursor that does this dynamically?

Hi all,
I've recently installed SQL-Server 2005 on our production server (win server r2, .net framework 2.0, 3.0 etc ..).
In order to improve the security mechanism I'm allowing only windows authentication (not mixed mode).
If each site and the sql-process is given a specific user account, could it have some bad performance issues ?
Security-wise, which is better ?
Few things to point out:
1. The SQL process was assigned with a local user account (i.e : [machine name]SqlServerUser) and not using NT AUTHORITYNETWORK_SERVICE.
2. Every ASP.Net site on the server assigned with a local account (i.e : [machine name]SomeSiteUser) through the IIS's Directory Security tab and not using IUSR_[machine name].
3. Each "Site User" has the appropriate database authorization in sql.
Any given help will be appreciated, thanks.
Hi,
I keep getting a connection failed error message... CANNOT the DATABASE " " requested by the Login. The Login failed for User 'NT Authority/ Network Service' error and I figure I should create an account for the site to access the Database with but I do not know how to create an account in SQL server using the Management studio?? Anyone willing to give me the exact information I need to do this so I do not do something else and ruin things please??? I am not much of an SQL DBA. thanks in Advance.

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
View 6 Replies View RelatedHi all,
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.
I'm trying to install SQL Server 2005 Express on a Windows 2000 server, but I'm getting the following error message:
"Failure setting security rights on user account SQLServer2005BrowserUser${computerName}"
Can anyone help me please?
