Create DB Without Administrator Rights
Dec 18, 2007Im working on a setup/deployment project where i have to attatch a database to sqlexpress.
The problem im faceing is that i cant use a Trusted connection as the user doesn't have administrator rights.
Is there a way of creating a user when sqlexpress is installed (this is done as administrator) that have the right to create/attatch databases to the sqlexpress instance?
What roles does that user need? Dbcreator is enought?

Do DBAs Need OS Administrator Rights To Manage SQL Server
Mar 28, 2008Do DBAs need OS Administrator rights to Manage SQL Server? I suspect the answer is no, but, the DBAs tell me that they cannot do their jobs without OS admin rights.
Can someone point me to documentation detailing what OS level rights are needed by SQL Server DBAs?
Installing SQL Server Native Client Requires Administrator Rights
Jun 26, 2007Hi All,
We're deploying an app. using a MSSQL Server 2005 (Std. Ed.).
In order to install an ODBC driver for the DB, we've made the installation of Sqlncli.msi part of the package.
It will not run - unless user has Admin priv.s on the klient PC targeted.
Does any one have any experience w. other ways of installing the sql native client (like MDAC) - og just an idea about circumventing the Admin rights problem?

View 1 Replies View RelatedMS Web Administrator And IE ... Not Working Right
Oct 1, 2004Hey folks,
First ... want to applaud the creators/managers of this site. I have found almost all the answers I have had. However, got something new.
I am setting up Web Data Administrator from MS on a Windows 2003/IIS6 server connecting to our SQL 2000 boxes. The server has .Net 1.1 SP1. I have set this up on a Windows 2000/IIS5 server and it worked but was slow. It has .Net 1.1 and has been patched to SP1. When I got the new copy setup on IIS6, IE would not work with it but Firefox does. (I love the irony!) Going back to IIS5 copy, it doesn't work now in IE but it does in Firefox. Anyone else seeing this? Any ideas?
Thanks,
Jared
Who Is Default Administrator
May 12, 2008I just now installed sqlserver 2005 express.
I am connecting to it via oracles 'sqldeveloper' using sourceforge
jtds jdbc driver. I can connect to the server but I cannot logon probably because I dont know any user id or password.
I can't find any reference to the default uid/password in the server 'help'.
Does anyone know how to get started?
thanks

Cannot Access DB As A Non-administrator
Sep 27, 2006Hello,
I use SQL Server 2005 Express and VB.Net for my client server application. From a client machine, if the user is logged on as Windows Administrator, my application connects to the database server just fine. If the client is logged on as a non-administrator, then my app cannot connect. Here is my connection string:
"Server=ServerNameSQLEXPRESS;Database=DBName;Trusted_Connection=True;Connection Timeout=30"
I use TCP/IP.
How can I fix this? Any help will be appreciated.

Can't Install SQL Web Data Administrator
Aug 26, 2006Hi I am using Web Developer 2005 Express. I am trying to install the SQL Web Data Administrator (setup.msi), but it gives an error message saying that I need to install Framework 1.1, BUT I already have version 2, so no-go for me there. Also I have been trying to install the Cassini version with zero luck. When I run the build.bat file I get the csc and gacutil errors. However, when I set up the Environmental variable PATH within My ComputerPropertiesAdvancedEnvironmental Variablesuser Variables as per the instructions on the Cassini discussion forum, no change, I do not get 200 bucks or pass GO .Please tell me I am being stupid

MSDE And SQL Web Data Administrator
Aug 23, 2004Hello all,
I am sorry for repeating the question in another section of the forum.
I am using "SQL Web Data Administrator" to manage the security and the roles issues in my database. I am using MSDE and i get to a point that i can not create grant statements in "SQL Web Data Administrator" manualy. I only was able to create some user accounts and giving them some roles automaticly"by clicking" without writtng grant statemnts. Clearly for me there was no place in the program to write grant statments. eg: in the graphical user interface of the "Sql Web Data Administrator" you can not restrict an access to some table in a database, but you can restrict access to a specific database for some users. Now, the question is : Is there any way to write grant permissions for some users using "Sql Web Data Administrator", or alternatevely, where can i wite any T-sql in my application and execute them.
Note:
I do not have Enterprise manager or sql analyzer.
please help.
Cannot Login With Web Data Administrator
Oct 8, 2004With Cassini web server, the hour glass stays on after I type in "sa" and password with SQL Login. Does anyone know how to resolve the issue?
With IIS, it simply displays the content of default.aspx as text. Are there some settings need to be changed?
My system is: Windows XP Professional with SP2.
Any help is appreciated.

Sql Express And Web Data Administrator
Dec 4, 2004Hi,
I have sucessfully used the Web Data Administrator on another machine using msde, but having trouble with sqlExpress. Can anyone help answer all or some of the following:
1- does the Web Data Administrator work with sqlExpress ?
2- I'm not sure I have sql server authenitication or windows authentication set for sqlExpress ? How can I check ? I need to have sql authentication.
3- I used to use access 2000 to manage/setup my sql server databases and found this the fastest and easiest method. Does access 2003 still have the same support for this ?
4- Is there anyone who knows when the free microsoft sql express admin tool will be available ? I think its called 'XS' or something.
any answers welcome.

Mar 17, 2004The SQL Server Web Data Administrator enables you to easily manage your SQL Server data, wherever you are. Using its built-in features, you can do the following from Microsoft Internet Explorer or your favorite Web browser:
1. Create and edit databases in SQL Server 2000 or Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Desktop Engine (MSDE 2000)
2. Perform ad-hoc queries against databases and save them to your file system
3. Export and import database schema and data
4. Manage users and roles
5. View, create and edit stored procedures
Whether you are doing Microsoft Windows or Web development, or just need remote access to data for yourself or your clients, the Web Data Administrator is the perfect complement to your toolbox.

View 3 Replies View RelatedBUILTINAdministrators Vs System Administrator
Feb 13, 2007Hello all,
does someone know where to find information regarding what is accesible to a BUILTINAdministrator which is not accesible to a System Administrator?
Somewhere I have read that a System Administrator can not see the "All users' folders (i.e. the collection of "My folder"s for all users of the Report Server) but I have also experienced a behaviour which has surprised me: as a System Administrator with all permissions I cann't even see folders that a BUILTINAdministrator can.
Does it mean that a System Administrator can not really manage all the resources of a Report Server?
Any ideas will be welcomed. Many thanks.

Web Data Administrator - Connectivity Problem
Jan 21, 2008Hello everyone,
I'm trying to create a database using the Web Data Administrator. However, when I run the service (Web Data Administrator) and I have to log in, I can't. First of all, when I choose the "Windows Integrated" option, the service automatically shows me the user name, which is the computer name (Office/Home), no password (empty password field), and the word "(local)" in the server field name, and then when I click "Login" I get the following message: "Invalid user name and/or password, you are using a windows login that is not your own, or server does not exist".
In addition, when I choose the "SQL" login option, I don't know what my password is and I don't even know how to know where the password is, or where it can be set up. I have looked to some documentation about the topic and I'm in the process of learning new things. However, I have concluded that probably some of you could give me a hint of where to look, so the learning process can be accelerated and I can cover more in the same time I'm doing my own research.
I have SQL 2005 (Express Edition) installed. Further, I have changed my Windows XP user name and password trying to see if SQL server 2005 would get its information from this type of authentication. After changing my user name and password, I went to the SQL2005 manager and in the properties window, I saw that the user name there was “./home� and the password was a dotted string that I don’t know where it came from. I would greatly appreciate some feedback on this problem,
Eduardo
