Lost SQL Logins, But Still Have DB Logins - Script To Recreate SQL Logins?
Jan 21, 2007ok, first, I know... I forgot to run a backup of the master database, and I forgot to run a script to caputure logins. Not that that is out of the way... I need to recreate the logins under the Securities tab below the databases. All the company databases have the user names and passwords assigned to them, but they are not able to login, because they are not able to authenticate to the SQL server first.
Is there a script that someone has that will copy the company database security info for the users and recreate them in the SQL security tab?
I know that I can rebuild them manually, but I need to delete them first in the application software, then delete them from the databases, and then recreate them in the application software... and as simple as that sounds... it is a slow moving process.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
John
Certificate Loading Issue - When Creating Certificate From SQL Server To SQL Server Express On The Same Machine
Jun 29, 2007Hi, We are trying to implement Service Broker between SQL Server Express and SQL Server on the Same machine and we are having problems with certificates. We are creating a certificate on SQL Server, backing up the certificate on a file system and then loading certificate on the SQL Server Express from the file and we are keep getting the following error: Msg 15208, Level 16, State 1, Line 1 The certificate, asymmetric key, or private key file does not exist or has invalid format.
Following script runs fine on SQL Server.
Code Snippet
use master
Create Master Key Encryption BY Password = '45Gme*3^&fwu';
BACKUP MASTER KEY TO FILE = 'C:ServiceBrokerPrivateKeyMasterB.pvk'
ENCRYPTION BY PASSWORD = '45Gme*3^&fwu'
Create Certificate EndPointCertificateC
WITH Subject = 'C.Server.Local',
START_DATE = '06/01/2006',
EXPIRY_DATE = '01/01/2008'
ACTIVE FOR BEGIN_DIALOG = ON;
BACKUP CERTIFICATE EndPointCertificateC
TO FILE = 'C:ServiceBrokerEndPointCertificateC.cer'
Following script runs on SQL Server Express:
Code Snippet
Create Certificate EndPointCertificateC
From FILE = 'C:ServiceBrokerEndPointCertificateC.cer'
WITH PRIVATE KEY (
FILE = 'C:ServiceBrokerPrivateKeyMasterB.pvk',
DECRYPTION BY PASSWORD = '45Gme*3^&fwu'
);
If we run the script other way around, it works fine. If we use the SQL Server on some other machine, the script works fine. But only on the same machine, it throws this error. We made sure the permissions and everything. Let us know if there is any work around or what are we doing wrong.
Any help is appreciated. Thank you,
Export Logins To Server With Already Existing Logins
Jul 17, 2001Hello,
I would move a Database to another server. I try to use DTS but I have problems with this process because DB have big tables, I think. I try to use DETACH and ATTACH procedures but logins doesn't export. And more, in new server there are already logins from another DBs.
What's the best way to solve this problem?
Please, help
Thanks
Moving DBs From SQL Server Logins To Windows Logins
Apr 3, 2007I am a systems analyst and work with an app that runs against 2 SQL Server DBs. Though I have some familiarity with SQL Server and SQL, I am not a DBA.
The app executable is tied to a Windows service.
When we install the app, we run a process that builds 2 dbs to include:
Tables, indexes, stored procedures, views and user accounts.
SQL Server is set up for mixed mode authentication.
Normally, the dbs run off the local db user accounts which are tied to local logins with the same names.
We have a client that wants to remove our standard logins so that they can run on only a Windows login.
I know I should be able to tie the db users to a Windows login.
And I can do the same for the service.
But I am at a loss as to how to get this done.
How do you associate db users with a Windows login?
When I have tried sp_change_users_login I get an error that the Windows login does not exist. (Though I have added the Windows account to the DB.)
Hope this all makes sense.

Mapped Drives On SQL Server
Aug 6, 2001Hi,
I mapped a drive on to my SQL Server box. It points to another server from the same domain. When I try to backup or restore a database, I can't see this mapped drive through my SQL Server. Even if I type the entire path, SQL Server wouldn't take it. I don't have a clue about why it is not working. Can anyone throw some light on this. Your help is grately appreciated.
Thanks,

Help With Mapped Or Linked Database

I tried linking them but it still says "xxx database doesnt exists" since it recides on the other server.
DTS Not Running On A Mapped Drive
Nov 15, 2005I created a DTS local package on the SQL Server. It's basically importing a text file into a table in my database. This file resides in a mapped drive (X:) from another server. When I schedule the DTS as a job, it fails. It doesn't execute any of the workflow in the design.
However, when I copy the text file into a drive local to the SQL server (D:), it runs flawlessly.
What I do right now is I have a windows scheduled task that runs a batch file that copies the text file from X: to D: at certain time intervals. Then the job scheduler runs to import it.
What am I missing? How come the job scheduler can't read the file directly from the mapped drive?
Any info would be appreciated. TIA
DTS From Mapped Drive Problem
Oct 16, 2007Hey guys
I am having a problem with a DTS package that pulls from a flat file off a mapped drive. When the package is ran alone, it runs perfectly but the stored proc that I took from an example from the net will not execute the DTS properly and I am unsure as to why it will not do so.
CREATE PROC spExecuteDTS
@Server varchar(255),
@PkgName varchar(255), -- Package Name (Defaults to most recent version)
@ServerPWD varchar(255) = Null,-- Server Password if using SQL Security to load Package (UID is SUSER_NAME())
@IntSecurity bit = 0,-- 0 = SQL Server Security, 1 = Integrated Security
@PkgPWD varchar(255) = ''-- Package Password
AS
SET NOCOUNT ON
/*
Return Values
- 0 Successfull execution of Package
- 1 OLE Error
- 9 Failure of Package
*/
DECLARE @hr int, @ret int, @oPKG int, @Cmd varchar(1000)
-- Create a Pkg Object
EXEC @hr = sp_OACreate 'DTS.Package', @oPKG OUTPUT
IF @hr <> 0
BEGIN
PRINT '*** Create Package object failed'
EXEC sp_displayoaerrorinfo @oPKG, @hr
RETURN 1
END
-- Evaluate Security and Build LoadFromSQLServer Statement
IF @IntSecurity = 0
SET @Cmd = 'LoadFromSQLServer("' + @Server +'", "' + SUSER_SNAME() + '", "' + @ServerPWD + '", 0, "' + @PkgPWD + '", , , "' + @PkgName + '")'
ELSE
SET @Cmd = 'LoadFromSQLServer("' + @Server +'", "", "", 256, "' + @PkgPWD + '", , , "' + @PkgName + '")'
EXEC @hr = sp_OAMethod @oPKG, @Cmd, NULL
IF @hr <> 0
BEGIN
PRINT '*** LoadFromSQLServer failed'
EXEC sp_displayoaerrorinfo @oPKG , @hr
RETURN 1
END
-- Execute Pkg
EXEC @hr = sp_OAMethod @oPKG, 'Execute'
IF @hr <> 0
BEGIN
PRINT '*** Execute failed'
EXEC sp_displayoaerrorinfo @oPKG , @hr
RETURN 1
END
-- Check Pkg Errors
EXEC @ret=spDisplayPkgErrors @oPKG
-- Unitialize the Pkg
EXEC @hr = sp_OAMethod @oPKG, 'UnInitialize'
IF @hr <> 0
BEGIN
PRINT '*** UnInitialize failed'
EXEC sp_displayoaerrorinfo @oPKG , @hr
RETURN 1
END
-- Clean Up
EXEC @hr = sp_OADestroy @oPKG
IF @hr <> 0
BEGIN
EXEC sp_displayoaerrorinfo @oPKG , @hr
RETURN 1
END
RETURN @ret
GO
that is the stored proc that i am using along with a couple error trapping ones but this being the one that does the actual execution. Is there anything i can change about this in order for it to run the DTS properly from the mapped drive?
thank you
Restore Problem W/ UNC Or Mapped Drive
Jan 22, 2001From my workstation (with SQL Server 7 Desktop Edition SP3), I seem unable to restore a database on my Server (SQL Server Standard Edition SP3). I am logged into both machines, and I am an Administrator on both machines. Using either a UNC or Mapped Drive (see below)
RESTORE DATABASE ogAEC FROM ogAECDump WITH REPLACE , RECOVERY , STATS
, MOVE 'AEC_Data' TO 'Og-sqlsrvrC-DriveMSSQL7DataogAEC_Data.MDF'
, MOVE 'AEC_Log' TO 'Og-sqlsrvrC-DriveMSSQL7DataogAEC_Log.LDF'
RESTORE DATABASE ogAEC FROM ogAECDump WITH REPLACE , RECOVERY , STATS
, MOVE 'AEC_Data' TO 'Q:MSSQL7DataogAEC_Data.MDF'
, MOVE 'AEC_Log' TO 'Q:MSSQL7DataogAEC_Log.LDF'
I get
Server: Msg 3156, Level 16, State 2, Line 1
The file 'Og-sqlsrvrC-DriveMSSQL7DataogAEC_Data.MDF' cannot be used by RESTORE. Consider using the WITH MOVE option to identify a valid location for the file.
But I am successful if I run the essentially command locally from the server:
RESTORE DATABASE ogAEC FROM ogAECDump WITH REPLACE , RECOVERY , STATS
, MOVE 'AEC_Data' TO 'C:MSSQL7DataogAEC_Data.MDF'
, MOVE 'AEC_Log' TO 'C:MSSQL7DataogAEC_Log.LDF'
What can I do to be able to restore DBs from my workstation?
Mapped Names In Security Manager
Jul 21, 1999Hi,
I am trying to grant users permissions to our database, but when I add the users through a local group, I receive a mapped name of DOMAIN_USERNAME.
We are using standard security, with the SSQL server in a resource domain. I have created a local group with the global group inside it from the accounts domain. This seems usual MS practice to me.
We do not want these long cumbersome login names, but I am slowly worrying that there may perhaps be no way around it. Can't they just login with their normal username?
Any light...
Jack.

SQL 2012 :: Mapped Credential Is Not Used In Any Query?
Jul 9, 2014Due to a previous (mis)configuration, i need to grant readwrite permission on a share from a MSSQL DB User.The SQL user will launch t-sql queries on demand and they cannot be scheduled.
I've created a credential object in SSMS, configured it with the correct AD user and mapped it to the MSSQL DB user.Now, if i execute a simple t-sql backup:
BACKUP DATABASE [DB] TO DISK = N'IP.ADD.RE.SSshareDB.bak' WITH NOFORMAT, NOINIT, NAME = N'DB-Full Database Backup', SKIP, NOREWIND, NOUNLOAD, STATS = 10
GO
I get an access denied error, monitoring the sqlserv.exe process via procmon, i see that the Sql Server process is not impersonating the AD user configured in the credential, it still try to access using the local machine account .

Backing Up Data To Network Drive Mapped

How do i back up the data to a network drive mapped on a day to day basis.
Access Limitation Of Memo Field Mapped
Jan 23, 2014Our company is migrating a Microsoft Access 2010 backend database to a SQL Server 2008 database. One of the memo fields in the Access backend can store up to 150 Kb of Unicode data. To store this data in SQL server, we found that we can use the following data types:
ntext = (2^30) - 1 = 1,073,741,823 bytes.
nvarchar(max) = (2^31) - 1 = 2,147,483,647 bytes.
Because ntext will be deprecated in future releases of SQL Server, the only good alternative to store an Access memo field in SQL server is to use nvarchar(max), which is what Microsoft recommends for large Unicode texts.Storing a large amount of text like 150 Kb in an nvarchar(max) field using only SQL server works as expected. However, if Access is used to store the data in a table linked to SQL server, the maximum number of characters allowed is only 4000. We found that this limitation is imposed by the ODBC driver that limits nvarchar(max) to 4000 characters.
The connection string we are currently using to link a table to SQL server is this:
ODBC;DRIVER={SQL Server Native Client 10.0};SERVER= SQLEXPRESS;DATABASE=TestDB;Trusted_Connection=No;UID=uid;PWD=pwd;
Any solution for this limitation storing large amounts of data in a Microsoft Access memo field mapped to an nvarchar(max) data field in a SQL Server database?
Do Mapped Columns Need To Be In Exact Order Everytime?
Jan 23, 2008In my SSIS package I have a text file source that I am mapping to a destination table. I have an error component that logs any row level errors and have noticed that it is not logging the correct field. I know this because I have a few different sources that submit the same files and have looked at the source of both. THE ONLY DIFFERENCE in the one that works versus the one that does not is that 2 of the 25+ columns are switched. I would not think this would matter because field A in the text file is mapped to field A in the database.
Does the order in which the fields come into the SSIS package matter?
Thanks
DB Engine :: Selecting Credential That Are Mapped To Login?

How To Change What LOGIN Is Mapped To A Db USER (windows Not SQL)
Aug 17, 2007
Is there a form of ALTER USER or other option that would allow me to change the Windows-based login associated with a user account?
According to BOL, I cannot use the sp_change_users_login trick since I want to rewire up to a Windows login, not a SQL Server login.

HELP. Back Up Problem When Backing Up To A Mapped Drive On Another Server
Mar 20, 2002Hi,
I have a rather odd problem that hopefully you'll be able to shed some light on.
We want to back up the databases to a hard drive held on another server so I mapped the drive in explorer to the drive then went into Enterprise manager and tried to create a backup device and it won't see the mapped drive.
I've tried mapping to my PC and I can see that via enterprise managers backup stuff (infact any PC in the office works) but it won't see any of the servers even though we can map to them and access them via windows explorer.
I've tried when logged on via sa and the windows NT administrator and still no luck. In fact no matter what I type or do it fails and keeps telling me device error or device off line which it isn't.
On our test instance of SQL Sever we can backup to other servers but not the new live version!
Any thoughts on what might cause this to happen and how to fix it?
Help much appriciated.
Thanks Helen

Three of the machines will be the production machines. The fourth machine will
contains log shipped copies of 37 databases.
I would like to keep each the 37 databases on its own device on the new SAN device.
The problem that I am running into is that I can only map drives up to the letter Z .
Is it possible to map more than 26 drives on a Windows 2003 server ?

Service User Accounts, Mapped Drives, Backups Question
Jun 26, 2007This has been extremely confusing for me.
I want to just make a simple backup.
first of all when i choose the pick a folder to backup, no mapped drives I make are even THERE.
I realize this is probably related to the account being used, okay I thought let me change the user account to a network admin account... I still cannot see the drive.
Can't this thing just accept whatever I tell it to access like any other program??
You would think they would at least keep the standard Open File dialog so we can use the network browser or something...
I've changed my accounts all to NETWORK SERVICE, then LOCAL SYSTEM, then a DOMAIN ADMIN...
I can't get this to work correctly on this freshly installed server... can someone please help?
I'm at the point where I don't care if i have to just re-install the damn thing...
Just someone please tell me what to pick for the accounts.
Bonus: I have this same issue with reporting services and Services for Unix NFS Mapped drives.
How can I map a drive with NETWORK SERVICE Credentials so it finds the datasource path?
I've only been able to do something like this with psexec and Local System.
When logged in as Domain Admin it will show a disconnected network drive that you cant get rid of but system account can use.
SQL Server Admin 2014 :: Configure Agent Access To A Mapped Drive?
