Thanks

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.
Thank you in advanced.

I would like to enter info into the startup service account so that the MS
SQL Server Agent will run under this account. Then I can run jobs.
However, I don't know why the "startup service account" info is
greyed out, which prevents me from entering this information.
Any help would be appreciated!!
Hello all,
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.
Any help would be appreciated!
Ugh! Someone changed the password of our SQL Server service account. It is called syssql, and it is used by the MSSQLServer and SQL Executive services to log in at startup. After the password was changed, we noticed that replication wasn’t running, and since I know that replication uses the Executive service, I restarted that service using the new password. That worked to get replication working again, and since the boxes were production machines I didn’t restart the MSSQLServer service with the new password yet. Now, our syssql account keeps on locking up every so often, and scheduled tasks that use xp_sendmail stopped working, and alerts stopped sending. Is this happening because of the MSSQLServer service still being logged in with the old password? I suspect that the SQL Mail logs in through the MSSQLServer service, which is still using the old password, and the login failures are causing the syssql account to lock. Any other ideas???

As the title suggests we are looking to change the service account of a SQL mirror implementation. I will be using the same account on all 3 servers involved in the configuration.
I know each server requires the account of the other two adding but as this will be the same account I assume this doesn't apply?
Also for mirrored databases already set up would I need to reconfigure the security for each one?
Is there anything I am missing?
We may need to change the account presently used to run the Windows Service "SQL Server Integration Services".What are the implications of making such a change?
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. 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.
View 6 Replies View RelatedHi,
Is there any way to use different email accounts for sql mail dynamically on sql server 2000?
Here is the problem:
My sql server is configured to start mail session under account 'xxnotifyxx'.
There are many jobs scheduled to run queries and send out emails to different user groups within the company as well as outside the company from 'xxnotifyxx' as a sender.
However, one of the usergroup within the company is asking for sending out their emails ( from scheduled tasks that uses xp_sendmail ) using 'publishergroup' as a sender.
As far as I know, this is not possible (sql server 2000, exchange 2000 client win2000 ) until I change the mail session configuration to start under 'publishergroup' in stead of 'xxnotifyxx'. If I do this, 9 other groups have problems with this.
Is there a work around for this kind of situation?
Thanks,

Hi,
I installed SQL Server 2005 Enterprise Edition and then executed SP2. So, when I try to move master database to another place, I don't obtain to change the Startup Parameters, because the instance SQL Server (MSSQLSERVER) in SQL Server 2005 Services in the SQL Server Configuration Manager isn't shown. I observed that if not execute the SP2 the instance SQL Server (MSSQLSERVER) is shown.
What it can is happening ?
Somebody knows some thing on this?
Please, somebody could help me ?
Thanks,

Hi,
The SQL Service Manager is not running automatically despite that fact the the STartup type for the following service IS set to Automatic:
C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQLBinnsqlservr.exe -sMSSQLSERVER
When I start my PC and look at the taskbar (or is it better called the status bar), the service Manager appears with a big WHITE circle and when I get the tooltip it says:
"Unknown - \ - MSSQLServer"
Can someone please help me out.

In the SP1 update of SSIS there was a call from the SSIS service that would attempt to validate itself against the http://crl.microsoft.com web site. If the SSIS service didn't have access to the internet then it would timeout and not start the service. In our company we have our development systems behind a firewall which only allows for limited internet access due to it being a development system.
Does the installation of SP2 remove this authentication restriction?

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:

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.

On a fairly new install of SQL 2005 64-bit, upon bootup the Active Directory Helper Serivice is aborting with the error 3221225572 (0XC0000064). When an attempt is made to start the service manually the following error appears: "Windows could not start teh SQL Server Active Directory Helper on Local Computer. For more infromation, review the System Event Log. If this is a non-Microsoft service, contact the service vendor, and refer to the service-specific error code - 1073741724."
The service is strating up under the network services account, which I am suspicous may be a problem. Currently the SQL server is running under SQL 2005 SP2 with no post service pack hotfixes. Do you have any advice on how to get the service to launch without errors?
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!

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?

database : MS SQL server ver 6.50.201
problem: server startup / server time out
details
SQL server shows usage of 100 % CPU utilization, if started automatically / manually. and does not proceed / hangs up(server time out), but win nt operates extremely slow.
The background of the situation in brief is as stated below.
The errorlog was found to have the messages
warning : OPEN OBJECTS parameter may be too low.
Attempt was made to free up descriptors in localdes()
Run sp_configure to increase parameter value.
Error : 644, severity : 21, state; state 1
the non clustered leaf row entry for page 2 row 1 was not found in index page 40 indexid 2 database 'tempdb'
Error : 2620 severity 21 state 3
the offset of the row number at offset 32 does not match the entry in the offset table of the follwoing page : page pointer = 0x1395800, page no= 40, status = 0x2, objectid = 1, indexid = 2
Action taken
I used the sp_option to increase the open objects from default 500 to 1000, and the LE threshold maximum value to 400 from the default 200.
after which I used reconfigure go and restarted the computer to take the effect. The following did work fine and server was working ok. But then from yesterday I am having the problem that the MS SQL sever is utilizing the cpu to 98 - 99 % and I am not able to connect to the server.
I tried to start the server with the minimal configuration by specifying the -f option in the service manager start up options, it showed the following message
00/12/07 10:40:49.73 ods Unable to connect. The maximum number of '5' configured user connections are already connected. System Administrator can configure to a higher value with sp_configure.
00/12/07 10:40:50.02 ods Unable to connect. The maximum number of '5' configured user connections are already connected. System Administrator can configure to a higher value with sp_configure.
afterwhich I tried with the option of starting the sql server with the option -c -f
which in the event detail of the win nt shows

I need to change the login name for the dbo account on several databases to the SQL sa name instead of using a Windows authentication domain name. I haven't been able to find a way to make this change.
View 6 Replies View RelatedHow can I find account that the SQL Server service is using ?
Plz help.
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?)

Has anyone ever converted from running SQL Server under the Local System account to running under a Domain User account?
I have often installed SQL using a Domain User account, but I am inheriting a couple of SQL Servers that were set up to run under Local System. I have never had to convert "on the fly" before.
If you have any input or insights, I would be grateful.
