Feb 11, 2006The current version of Microsoft SQL is SQL 2005.
If you are running a different version of Microsoft SQL, it is your responsibility to state what version you are using (for example, SQL 2000, service pack 2). If you don't include information about what version of Microsoft SQL you are using, we'll assume that you are running SQL 2005 and the answer that we give you may or may not work with the version of Microsoft SQL that you are using.
Kudos to r937 for reminding me to include this version information in our FAQ

SQL Server Admin 2014 :: Does Security-admin Role Plus Deny Alter Any Login Cancel Each Other Out
Aug 27, 2015I want to set up a database role so that users can use sp_readerrorlog through SSMS. It does a check on membership in the securityadmin role.
I have tested it and can see you can grant execute on xp_readerrorlog but the SSMS GUI uses sp_readerrorlog.
I thought I could create a user/certificate and add the signature to sp_readerrorlog but it's not permitted (likely because it's not a normal database object).
So the other solution is to add the users to the securityadmin role but then explicitly deny alter any login (best done with a custom server role in 2012+ but otherwise just manually in 2008). I tested this out and it works, I'm not able to alter any logins or increase my own permissions, I also did a check of what's reported from fn_my_permissions(null, null) and it shows minimal permissions like I'd expect.
Admin Access To SQL Without Server/domain Admin Access
Sep 6, 2007We are using Win2k3 R2 with SQL 2000 in a domain environment.
Is it possible to create a domain group to grant admin level and user level access to SQL2000/2005 without giving users server admin or domain admin access?
It has always been my impression that to have admin access to SQL that you had to at least had admin level access on the server.
Any clarification would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
Web Based Admin
Jun 25, 2006Does anyone know of a web based front end to Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Express edition? I tried using the SQL Server 2000 server web admin tool from microsoft, but it will not allow me to install it because it says it need the 1.1... framework installed. I have 1.0,1.1,and 2.0 installed, is there anyway to circumvent this? Or has anyone else figured another way to get the webadmin tool to work with 2005 express edition.
Thanks!
SQL Web Admin Tool
Mar 4, 2004Hi,
I've been having trouble getting this tool to work with my server/database. I'm using XP Pro, MSDE, .NET 1.1.4322 and IIS 5.1. IIS has been installed and tested with the help of others. .asp pages are being served locally and to another PC on the network. No obvious problem here. When I installed MSDE I used the SAPWD='strongpassword" command to create a password. I also built a new database. I had positive feedback on both of these actions.
Now to the tool - when I activate the administrator it pops with the little window saying Web Server Configuration. It lists the following options:
Desired Port:
IIS
Cassini Personal Web Server
Restore Faults
and Start and Stop buttons.
If I leave the setting on IIS and click Start it opens a webpage entitled Web Data Administrator. Moving further down I have a welcome message and then the line -
Please enter a SQL Server name:
Username: [Desktopob shadowed entry]
Password
Server (local)
Authentication Method:
Windows Intergrated
SQl Login
and then a Login button
If I select SQL Login and enter "sa" as the username and then my password leaving (local) as the server I get the following error:
Invalid username and/or password, you are using a windows login that is not your own, or server does not exist.
I have tried all combination of \desktopsa, sa, you name it. The password I selected is correct because I made a point of writing it down so I wouldn't forget it. I have also tried all the combos using Cassini as well.
This is where I'm stuck at this point. All suggestions are appreciated.
Thanks,
Bob

Admin Tools
Jul 5, 2000Hi Guys
I have just been trying to install the Admin tools from the SQL 6.5 setup CD on a Win NT Workstation 4 SP6 system. Everything seems to go fine until the icons are addded into the program group, these come up as system default icons and don't link to any programs. If I go into the installed directory and execute the programs then I get the following message:
The SQLOLE OLE object could not be registered. Class not registered (80040154)
After clicking OK the program terminates. I have tried diferent install directories, even diferent partitions. I have also deleted the directory and removed the Registry entries manual - this is because it cannot be uninstalled.
Still no luck.
Any ideas?
Many thanks

Domain Admin And Sa
Dec 13, 1999A couple of newbie questions:
1) Do Domain Admins have SA rights by default in SQL7? If so, is there a way to keep domain admins out of particular databases.
2) Is it possible to create a database or table that even SA can't get into?
Thanks

Ms Sql Admin .....exam..help
Mar 1, 2001Hi
Here is a mcdba admin question
Consider the following time line:
8:00 You accomplish the full database backup.
8:10 User1 enters the order 53 for customer 10, whose name in the database is
XXXXX (I
can't remember, but not Bill Smith)
8:12 User2 at remote server changes the name XXXXX to YYYYY
8:13 User3 changes the name YYYYY to ZZZZZ
8:14 User3 commit the transaction.
8:20 Media fails for database.
8:30 You restore the database from 8:00 backup. What is the status of the order
53 in the
database?
a) The order 53 is not in the database.
b) The order 53 is in the database and name is XXXXX.
c) The order 53 is in the database and name is YYYYY.
d) The order 53 is in the database and name is ZZZZZ.
Ans: B The name was already there.
The answer is B but I think th answer is A
becouse He or Her restroe the database from 8:00
I think the 53 order maked after 8:00 so
there is not order 53 in the backup database
How about you think and why !!!
Thanks kjs
Database Admin
Dec 30, 1999long, bad story here is the brief:
sql: 6.0 w/ fixes
platform: intel NT 4 sp3+
our "dba", i use that term loosly as the person who filled that position had little expertiese in managing sql, found a new job and has left; i worked with him on periphery matters so i'm less effective than he. unfortunatly ..."he with the most experience..." becomes "the man" so now i'm working to become a good dba and require some assistance.
we had a contractor come in and work out a method for archiving data using bcp, some batch files, and sql scripts; prior to this he assisted us in porting from one platform to another, digital alpha running NT to intel platform running NT.
in brief the procedure is as follows:
using options of EM create scripts to create all objects except indexes, again use EM to create sql scripts to create all objectes including indexes.
obtain sizing information and create a device and database, including log etc.
use the create objects script to create objects in the newly created database
use a custom script to create a batch file to bcp data from the primary database into flat files.
use a custom script/batch file to create a batch file to bcp data into the newly created database.
use the create indexes sql script to re-create indexes. we have to modify the sql create all objects including indexes script. i've worked up a batch file using for /f and if == to do this.
do some row counts and spot checks of tables stored procedures to verify conversion.
so now my questions:
using the information supplied causes problems, the tables end up being created but are owned by the wrong user. is there a way to change table, stored procedure, or object ownership? i create the database and objects as sa, then populate with bcp and re-create the indexes as the desired owner. my understanding is that sa has the special permissions needed to create objectes and the create objects script should make the appropriate users, logins, and changes to the db objects... where am i going wrong?

Can't Run SQL Agent As Non-admin.
Mar 21, 2007I have a SQL 2005 server and I am trying to run the SQL Agent service under a minimal permission account. Currently the service will run fine and perform all functions if it's account is a member of the administrators group on the local machine. As soon as I remove it from the local administrators group it fails to start and the only message recorded in the log for the agent is:
[241] Startup error: Unable to initialize error reporting system (reason: The EventLog service has not been started)
[098] SQLServerAgent terminated (normally)
And given the service works fine as an administrator I doubt there is anything wrong with the eventlog service. I have also checked and the eventlog service is indeed running, recording, and operating properly. I am at a loss as to what to do next, i've followed the directions available on MSDN for doing this but it still doesn't work.
A Day In The Work Of An SQL Admin.
Nov 14, 2007Hello. I'm 15 years old only, but really interested in math and I'm curious what do You do in work (excepting having fun and chillin' ;))? I know a bit about MySQL and I'm now trying to write some simple queries in SQL Server Management Studio Express (I'm using MS SQL Server 2005), but I'm sure in Your work You use other programs? What should I look for and start with? I know this topic sucks and many/most of You use stuff that is worth xxxxxxx USD on specialized computers/servers but I had to ask, because I was trying soo hard with programming, and then I've found database management, and I'm excited, because it's very interesting. I have no idea why, but it's not even boring to me (yet), and maybe I will work in this business in future (I really, really hope that).
Thank You for any help/support.
