I have had this issue just pop up. I have local users who can connect fine, but my users that require connection by VPN cannot connect. I get the server not available or access denied error. I did confirm that the VPN'ers are connected to the network correctly and can see that their shares and mappings are correct. Any ideas? Thanking you all in advance!!
View 6 RepliesWe are running SQL Server 2005 in a Windows 2003 domain and I have a situation where some of my users are unable to connect to the SQL Server unless they are a member of the sysadmin group. Any attempts by these users to login result in a login failed,
Error: 18456, Severity: 14, State: 11
Which indicates that it is a valid user who does not have access to this SQL Server.
I have been able to narrow the failures down to the following situation:
Create a user, TestUser1, as a member of 1 domain local group TestGroup1
Give TestGroup1 access to SQL (standard public access to master)
All good. Login succeeds.
Add TestUser1 to another domain local group TestGroup2
Attempt to login to SQL Server -> login failed.
Add the user explicitly -> login failed
Add one of the groups to sysadmin -> login succeeds
It seems that as long as the user is a member of more than one AD group, and none of those groups is a member of the sysadmin server role then the user is unable to login. Obviously having all of the users as sysadmin isn't a workable solution, has anyone seen this issue before?
I have been able to replicate a similar situation in our test domain, but in that case the issue is resolved by adding the users explicitly to SQL Server (still not an ideal solution).
Interestingly, if I run the same test in our test domain but use global groups, it works. But unfortunately the network admin tells me the groups must stay as local.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Dear Sir,
Can you please let me know as to how many users can MSSQL support at one time on a single database say test.
Thanks

Hi Team,
In SQL Enterprise Manager, when we expand "Database -->Users", we see the
users there. When we expand "Security --> logins" we see the same users there.
Can you differentiate these two.
Thanks

Hi,
I recently migrated our database from Access to SQL Server 2005. All the WinXP users can connect to the new SQL2005 database. But all the Win2K machines fail to log on. To diagnose the problem, I tried to connect from a Wind2K machine using an .udl file. The connection failed because "a provider failed to initialize".
The SQL2005 server is residing on a WinXP machine. Users log on via SQL Server authentication layer using a dedicated login that only has read/write privileges to one specific database.
Does anyone know a solution? Thanks in adance.

We have an existing SSRS server, and have just created a new child domain. We'll be migrating users from the parent to the child, and want to add the users of that new domain with access to SSRS. In the parent domain they are able to access, but after migration with the child domain account, they cannot.
I have added the group CHILDDomain Users with a system user role on SSRS, and PARENTDomain Users was already there.
Is there any additional step I should/could take to get this active?
I am trying to revert back to Windows 7 after upgrading to Windows 10, however it will not let me and the following message occurs: "Remove new accounts.Before you can go back to a previous version of Windows, you'll need to remove any user accounts you added after the most recent upgrade. The accounts need to be completely removed, including their profiles.You created one account (NT SERVICEMSSQLSERVER) Go to Settings> Accounts> Other users to remove these accounts and then try again".However I did not create any new users and there are no other users listed in the Accounts section.

I read in oneof the articles somewhere that users can also download cubes to their local machines for off-line browsing/analysis. This can be very useful if the user is suppose away from the office or not connected to the LAN.
I wanted to request if someone can explain the process of how users can do this i.e. download/save a copy of the cube to their local machines?
Thanks.
Hi All,

Sql server 7
I am trying to restore a database of sql server 7 to another. Restoring is happening fine with respect to tables, stored procedures etc, but i am not able to restore the users that are present in the source database.
Please help in this.

I am new to this, so, I will be greatful to anyone who can clarify the following:
qn 1:
In login properties under Logins of Security, what does creating mapping to the different databases mean ?
For a given login, I notice that I can login / execute DDL statements alike for the databases which are checked and also for the ones that are not checked.
Then, what does
Security -> Logins - > Login Properties -> User mapping -> Users mapped to this login -> checking the database - accomplish?
qn 2:
For a perticular login, say 'Bob' which has server admin rights, I wish to include two more databases. For this I 'checked' the databases, which I wish to include, in the
Security -> Logins - > Login Properties -> User mapping -> Users mapped to this login
When I clicked 'OK', I get the following error and the two databases are left unchecked.
User, group, or role 'SQL1AGENT' already exists in the current database. (.Net SqlClient Data Provider)
How can I include the databases ?
hi alli've got two tables called "webusers" (id, name, fk_country) and "countries" (id, name)
at the meantime, i've a search-page where i can fill a form to search users. in the dropdown to select the country i included an option which is called "all countries".
now the problem is: how can i make a stored procedure that makes a restriction to the fk_country depending on the submitted fk_country parameter?it should be something like
SELECT * FROM webusers(if @fk_country > 0, which is the value for "all countries"){ WHERE fk_country = @fk_country}
who has an idea how to solve this problem?
We have a problem authenticating domain users contained in local machine user groups across multiple web servers in a scale out deployment.
When we originally setup our single SSRS database server we were told the a best practice is to add domain users to local user groups on the SSRS machine.
Now we want to add more web servers and create a scale-out deployment. So, we added the web servers and configured the scale-out deployment. But, only administrators can see the reports since all of our SSRS roles are assigned permissions such as "Machine1User_Group".
We were told that we have to create identical local groups on Machine2 and Machine3 and then add them to the SSRS roles. This is prohibitive since it would mean managing 3 identical user groups containing thousands of domain users.
Is there a better way to do this without using Domain User Groups?
Thank you for any assistance.
Developers need to view and modify jobs on some servers without being sysadmin. We've added the developers to the following MSDB roles:
SQLAgentOperatorRole
SQLAgentReaderRole
SQLAgentUserRole
Technically they should be able to view and modify jobs through Management Studio when being added only to SQLAgentOperatorRole. However they receive the following error when clicking on the Jobs folder regardless of the msdb role.
Execute Permission Denied on Object 'xp_sqlagent_enum_jobs', database 'mssqlsystemresource', schema 'sys'. (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 229)
Our original two SQL 2005 servers do not produce this message, but all other instances do. All servers, but one, are SP2 so the service pack is not an issue. Any thoughts?
Thanks, Dave

We are using Navision with SQL server 2003.
What kind of methods is there out there to reduce hwo often this happens?
Hi everybody,
i'll try to explain the problem with my bad english, so sorry.
In my firm i have a server (W2003 Server) with IIS 6.0 and SQL Server 2005 EE an it is joined in the main domain as all users and their workstation (window XP) are joined too.
The main role for this server is to be a web server and with IIS Manager I configured to verify user identities with Windows Integrated authentication without any anonymous access to web pages (ASP scripts).
I made a group called "Web Users" with read right on ASP scripts and his only one member is "Domain Users".
"Web Users" has of course rights to access this server from network.
This group is also a SQL Server login because it has rights to wiew an modify data at least in one db table trought ASP pages using ADO, but the problem is that they can also connect using ODBC.
Configuring SQL to accept only local connection i can avoid this, but as SQL Admin i can't connect too. So how is possible for web users interact with SQL only trought web pages ?
Thank you very much
Hello our organization has never had any problems getting users to connect to our SQL servers but we have grown a lot over the past year or two. Does SQL Server actually block connections if they go over the license limit? I don't have access to the servers to see the model used but I have been asked to look into this. I couldn't find any information on this so I decided to ask you guys. Thanks in advance.

Hi
I had Sql Server 2005 installed on a machine of mine and was able to connect to the local, however I had to unistall it. Recently I put it back on the machine and found that I was no longer able to connect to the local server.
Does anyone know why this has happened and how it can be resolved?
Thanks
I have an interesting problem. I am running xp pro and when I try to connect to an instance of SQL2005 running on WIN2003 using SQL Sevrer Management Studio, I get the following error:
An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server. When connecting to SQL Server 2005, this failure may be caused by the fact that under the default settings SQL Server does not allow remote connections. (provider: TCP Provider, error: 0 - A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond.) (.Net SqlClient Data Provider)
This instance is protected by a vpn and is running on a clustered environment. I can connect to other SQL2000 servers that are running on a clustered environment and SQL2005 that is not clustered.
After adding a host file entry, I was able to connect to the server using OSQL. I was able to telnet into the port the server is listening on.
Others in my group can connect to the server using SQL Server Management Studio with no problems. They are running Win2003 Server. I originally could connect to this server, but I needed to change my password. After that I lost my remote connectivity. I can RDP into the server and map drives to the server. I map to a local administrator of this machine.
I am not sure what else to try?

EMERGENCY 911 HELP PLEASE
Ok I created a database SQL is the engine and Access XP is the gui. When the users try to access the databae they get error message, it opens up but they cant open the forms for some reason. I was wondering if this had to do with me have Access XP and them having Access 2000, but I highly doubt it because when I had a user log on to my machine (which has access xp) they still were not able to access the forms. Can someone help me out PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE... this is so frustrating :(
One thing I'm noticing is that the users connection keeps dropping???
Hi, guys
I has a question for you:
How can i Export the users and permisions and restore it again?
Thanks in advance
I have a number of user databases who have lost their owner. That is, displaying properties for the database says the owner is unknown.
I assume that any user for such a database that's assigned to the db_owner role can admin everything in this database? Which means that the lack of a dbo doesn't cause any other problem than making it impossible to run a sp_helpdb for the database, or...?
Of course I'd like to make someone the owner, but it seems difficult to make an already existing database user the owner, without dropping the user and re-creating it.
Hi,
I looked everywhere in System Stored Procedure docs for MSDE 2005 and I cant find a stored procedure that will force logout users from a database.
Is there such a thing? If not, is there another way?
