Why Does Windows Login Have Full Permissions On Local Installation Of SQL Server 2005?
Jun 22, 2007
Hi,
I recently installed an evaluation copy of SQL Server 2005 Enterprise Edition on my local machine and during the installation I used Local System system account for the SQL Server service and set the server to use Mixed Mode authentication.
I am able to connect to this local server Database Engine with my Windows login through SQL Server Management Studio and am able to perform sysadmin tasks. My question is why?
My thinking was that even though my Windows login would provide me a connection to the server, I would still have to manually add this login to the sysadmin server roles but after checking the sysadmin role, my Windows login isn't in there. The Windows login is not found under Security - Logins in SSMS either.
Can someone tell me should details for the login be visible on the server and why it seems to have sysadmin permissions ?
Thanks

Hi all:
I have created a linked server that connects a SQL 2000 database to a SQL 2005 database. If I use individual SQL or Windows accounts as local logins on the SQL 2000 instance, I can successfully query the linked SQL 2005 database.
(For security we use the setting "For a login not defined in the list above, connections will: not be made")
If I try to use a Windows group as the local login, remote queries fail with the error
"Access to the remote server is denied because no login-mapping exists"
Is it not possible to use a Windows group for the local login of a linked server?
If I run 'exec sp_linkedservers' the setup appears valid
Linked Server Local Login Is Self Mapping Remote Login
SQL2005Serv DomainBRubble 0 SQL_Read_Access
SQL2005Serv DomainWindows_Group 0 SQL_Read_Access

Thanks in advance

Hi,
I have created a Windows user login and have granted it the appropriate roles (including a revoke).
As a test I also created a standard user and gave it the same roles as above.
When I run a query against the revoked table, the results are unexpected.
The Windows user can run the query, and the standard user gets a permissions error (which is what i expect).
Does anyone have any ideas as to what is happening here? I am still confused.... Does it have anything to do with the public permission that much be granted?
Thanks

I installed VS 2005 without SQLExpress. Thereafter, I installed SQL 2005 (not express). Now, when trying to connect to a database server in server explorer, VS can't find any SQL servers and the dropdown box is empty in the Add Connection Wizard.
Also, I would like my WebApplication to run its membership services on the installed SQL - not the implicitly present SQLExpress (which is not present on my machine). How do I tell WebSite Administration Tool to use SQL not SQLExpress!!!!

Hello All,
I'm hoping someone can help me with this puzzle.
Most logins I've created have been SQL Server authenticated. I assign the login newEmployee to a role existingRole, and ensure the role has the required permissions. This didn't seem to be rocket science....
My company has been provided with an application with a SQL Server back-end. My instructions were to create a Windows authenticated login and give it full access to the database. I followed the above principles, but running the application, the user got the error -
SELECT permission denied on object 'sysobjects', database 'databasename', owner 'dbo'.
So I decided to try the simplest possible scenario to make it work:
I've created a login DOMAINewEmployee with Windows authentication.
DOMAINewEmployee has been granted access to databasename.
By default, DOMAINewEmployee is a member of Public.
Public has been granted all available permissions on all objects.
ie... grant all on userTables to public
........grant all on sysobjects to public
........grant all on otherSystemTables to public
etc.
Running the application, the user still gets the above error. I'd send the problem back to the vendor, except if I've logged onto the PC as DOMAINewEmployee, querying -
select * from dbo.sysobjects
via Query Analyser produces the same error message. (An equivalent error message is produced when querying a user-created table).
To compare, I then created a login newEmployee2 with SQL Server authentication.
newEmployee2 has been granted access to databasename.
select * from dbo.sysobjects
runs successfully from Query Analyser (as to any queries on user-created tables).
What else is required to grant access to tables from a Windows authenticated login?
( What really scares me, is that the application will run if I make the Windows authenticated login a member of server roles System Administrator and Database Creators, then the application will run - but I don't want this to be the permanent solution. Even after doing this, the above query still fails in Query Analyser for that login, suggesting that there is something wrong with how I configured the permissions. )
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.
Kim.

I have just downloaded and installed the SQL Server 2005 Express version, enabled TCIP and Named pipes but when I try to link to the tables with Access 2003 or try to create a database connection I get an error 17 "connection failed - SQL Server does not exist or access is denied".
I am able to open Management Studio Express and see all of the databases, including another SQL Server 2005 server that I have. I am able to Link to my other server but I can't get see my local install.
What can I do?
Thanks,

Hi Every One,
I am trying to install SQL Server 2005 on Windows Vista Home Premium edition, when I run the Installer I received are the following error message.
IIS Feature Requirement (Warning)

IIS Feature Requirement
Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) is either not installed or is disabled. IIS is required by some SQL Server features. Without IIS, some SQL Server features will not be available for installation. To install all SQL Server features, install IIS from Add or Remove Programs in Control Panel or enable the IIS service through the Control Panel if it is already installed, and then run SQL Server Setup again. For a list of features that depend on IIS, see Features Supported by Editions of SQL Server in Books Online.
I already configure IIS7 with all feature, but system still generate above mentioned message.

Hello!
We deploy an application that uses SQL Server Express 2005. One of our test engineers tried to use our setup on Windows XP SP 3. But the SQL server installer gave an error - unable to update msxml6r.dll. Is this a bug of the SQL Server installer or do we need to make use of a more recent version of msxml6?

Hi,
We have just created a new Windows 2008 server running SQL 2005 64 bit. I am in the process of migrating old SQL 2000 databases onto this new server. One of the databases required a SQL login for some Windows groups that get created from the SMS software. I'm having a problem when I go into create a new login, select object type Groups, from this location , I enter the object name and click Check Names and it finds it. I select okay and everything looks good. But when I click ok on the New Login screen, I get the 15401 error saying that Windows NT user or group not found. I have gone into the Server Manager - Groups and verified that the group exists, and it does. The only thing I see when I click properties is on the bottom right had side of the screen it says "Changes to a user's group membership are not effective until the next time the user logs on." It says this for all the groups on this server and I get the same error message when I try to add any group. I have had the user that is a memeber of this group log off and back on a few times, but it still says the same thing and I still get the same error.
Anyone have any ideas on what the problem might be? Is there something on the Windows 2008 server setup that we missed?
Thanks,
Isabelle

Hi,
We are trying to move our application from SQL2005 to SQL2005, we are using 2005 jdbc driver 1.1.
The problem we have is, when a date is retrieved from the database, only the year part got correctly, but the date is automatically set to January 1 of that year. The interesting thing is this problem doesn't occur on local development environment (developer's windows platform), it only happens when we deploy the application to production server (unix).
Does anyone know what is going on, how to fix it?
Thanks.

This may be an idiotic question:
I am attempting to use Visual Web Developer Express with a connection to a SQL Express db from a non-admin account on my XP Pro SP2 machine.
I can do everything in the app under an admin login, but can't seem to configure the db to allow the non-admin account access to the db. I've tried tweaking WMI, using Network Service, Local Service, and Local System with NT AUTHORITY, individual logins, and group permissions, but I'm stuck.
Any thoughts?

Oracle and Teradata are able to capture the windows/client login that connects to their database with a functionnal ID.I've searched around and I don't think MS SQL can do this...I administer SQL 2014 server and also SAS Enterprise guide product. I've created sql server logins for several teams so everyone shares the same sql server login which is used to bind the SAS library to my SQL server database.
However, when looking at activity monitor, I can't drill down to which user is executing a particular query. I only see the SQL login which is share amongs 200 other folks.On the other hand, when they connect from SAS to Oracle or Teradata, I can see the shared login + additionally their windows NT login used to connect to SAS which is awesome....they can't fool me by using a shared/funcionnal ID....i still see who's using that ID...

I am getting the error:
Cannot open database "aspnetdb" requested by the login. The login failed.
When I browse to my ASP.NET 3.5 LINQ web application on the IIS 6.0 server on Server 2003.
I imagine this is because while I granted SQL Server 2005 login and permissions to my database that the application stores its data in, I did NOT grant any rights to the service account the IIS Application Pool uses for its identity to the aspnetdb database on SQL Server which is where all my roles information is stored at.
My question is what are the MINIMUM permissions needed for this database so it can perform its roles related functions?
I'm using Windows Authentications with the SQL Role provider for authorization.
Thank you.
EDIT: I think I only need to open the aspnetdb database and add my login to the aspnet_Roles_FullAccess role. Is that correct?

Hello,
I'm having a problem using Windows Accounts to login to a SQL 2005 Server.
Here is my setup. The SQL server and web server are separate machines. I'm also not developing directly on the web server.
SQL Server - Windows 2003 Server- SQL 2005- Set to use SQL and Windows AuthenticationWeb Server- Windows 2003 Server- IIS 6.0 - Anonymous Authentication is disabled - Integrated Windows Authentication is enabledApplication web.config:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<configuration xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/.NetConfiguration/v2.0"><appSettings> <add key="ETR_Environment" value="Dev"/></appSettings>
<connectionStrings> <add connectionString="Data Source=sql-dev-server, 1179;Initial Catalog=ENV_ETR;Integrated Security=SSPI;" name="ETR_Dev"/> <add connectionString="" name="ETR_Prod"/></connectionStrings>
<system.web> <compilation debug="true" strict="false" explicit="true"/> <pages> <namespaces> <clear/> <add namespace="System"/> <add namespace="System.Collections"/> <add namespace="System.Collections.Specialized"/> <add namespace="System.Configuration"/> <add namespace="System.Text"/> <add namespace="System.Text.RegularExpressions"/> <add namespace="System.Web"/> <add namespace="System.Web.Caching"/> <add namespace="System.Web.SessionState"/> <add namespace="System.Web.Security"/> <add namespace="System.Web.Profile"/> <add namespace="System.Web.UI"/> <add namespace="System.Web.UI.WebControls"/> <add namespace="System.Web.UI.WebControls.WebParts"/> <add namespace="System.Web.UI.HtmlControls"/> </namespaces> </pages>
<authentication mode="Windows"></authentication> <customErrors mode="Off"></customErrors> <authorization> <allow users="XXXWilliam.Klein"/> <deny users="*"/> </authorization></system.web></configuration>
The reason why I want to use the windows login to connect to the database is the application needs to keep track of who did what when entering and updating data but still keep them using there windows login accounts. So using a generic account will not work.
What keeps happening is I keep getting this error: Login failed for user 'NT AUTHORITYANONYMOUS LOGON'. When trying to connect the database. I've tried this on two web servers on another I get something slightly different: Login failed for user 'XXXWeb-Server$'.
Anybody able to give me any suggestions on how to fix this?

Question for you. Due to some testing within our environment, I've restored a database a few times
today. Now, when I look at the databases that logins have access to, some have the correct
access to databases and others have no access anymore. This all has happened since I've
restored the database. What happened? It isn't even with the 1 database that I restored that
this is happening. When I look, most users don't have access to any database anymore... All the groups I have
set up and the permissions assigned within the database themselves are fine, just the
login doesn't have access to a database. Did I do something wrong? If so, please let me know
so I can correct it before another restore is necessary.
Thanks so much!

Hi, Happy New Year!
I have been struggling with this problem for a while with SQL 2005. I have never had such login problem with SQL 2000. Here is the scenario:
I have installed SQL2005 standard version on a XP Pro box and I am trying to access it from another XP Pro machine. I can access it using a SQL user name and password that I set up on the server, but I have not had luck with using Windows NT Integrated security. When I try to connect to it (e.g. by a UDL file), I get an error saying Login failed for user €˜HP-AMD64Guest€™ where €˜HP-AMD64€™ is the name of the PC running the SQL 2005. I can access the files on the machine without any problem. I do not understand why it uses €˜Guest€™ that is not what I use to log on my machine. Does anyone have any clue to offer me?
Thank you in advance!

Hi,
I am having trouble installing SQL 7.0 beta 3 on my home PC running Windows 98. The setup process fails in the last stage when it attempts to start the server.
The one thing missing on my PC is it still doesn`t have any TCP/IP address; does it matter? I have also noticed that when I run the setup, it doesn`t recognize Named pipe protocol. Have anybody had similar problem?
Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

After installing SQL Server Express I can now connect using my Windows authentication but am unable to create a database because all BUILTINUsers only have public permissions. I don't have the sa password and there are no other users or user groups set up which I could use to upgrade my permissions. So I can't do much of anything with SQL Server.
For background, I'm setting this up on a personal laptop running Windows Vista. I'm one of only two users on the machine and I have an Administrator user account.
Any help is appreciated.

We are having problems with the response times from UPS WorldShip after switching from SQL Server 2000 to 2005.
I think that the problem can be fixed from the database end by setting the permissions correctly for the user/role/schema that is being used by WorldShip to connect to the server but, I'm not sure how to do it.
The Setup
Client
UPS WorldShip 8.0 running on XP Pro SP2
Connecting via Sql Native Client via SQL Server Login
Connection is over a T1 via VPN
Server -
SQL Server Standard Edition on Windows Server 2003
2x3ghz Xeon processors w/ 4gb ram
The user that is being used to connect runs under it's own schema and role and only needs access to two tables in a specific database on the server.
What UPS WorldShip seems to be doing is on a continual basis retrieving information about the layout of the database via calls such as the following
exec [sys].sp_tables NULL,NULL,NULL,N'''VIEW''',@fUsePattern=1
exec [webservices].[sys].sp_columns_90 N'CHECK_CONSTRAINTS',N'INFORMATION_SCHEMA',N'webservices',NULL,@fUsePattern=1
exec [webservices].[sys].sp_columns_90 N'COLUMN_DOMAIN_USAGE',N'INFORMATION_SCHEMA',N'webservices',NULL,@fUsePattern=1
This seems to happen whenever WorldShip contacts the database to find out information in order to be able to create a mapping to the database as well as exporting information to it. Because of the VPN connection these calls take anywhere from 20 seconds to 3 minutes.
I am fairly confident that the problem lies with these calls to the database which I was able to capture using the SQL Server Profiler. We have experimented with the following setups.
1. Connecting to SQL 2000 over VPN with SQL Native Client - No noticeable lag
2. Connecting to SQL 2000 over VPN with SQL Server 2000 driver - No Noticable lag
3. Connecting to SQL 2005 locally with SQL Native Client - No Noticable lag
4. Connectiong to SQL 2005 over VPN with SQL Native Client - Lots of lag
Our network admin has been testing the network connections over the VPN and it is very responsive with none of the long wait times found when using UPS WorldShip.
Now for a possible solution other than getting UPS to fix their software. I think that by limiting the tables and views that the login is able to see will cut down significantly on the lag times that are being experienced. The problem is that there were 264 items that were being returned by sp_tables. I was able to cut that down to 154. I am unable to disable access to any of the rest of the items because they are server scoped.
Take for example the INFORMATION_SCHEMA.CHECK_CONSTRAINTS view. When I try to deny access to it in any way I get the following error:
Permissions on server scoped catalog views or system stored procedures or extended stored procedures can be granted only when the current database is master (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 4629)
Am I able to deny access to these types of object and if so how? Also, what objects should be accessable such as sys.database_mirroring, sys.database_recovery_status, etc?
