When granting db_owner to the SINGLE user, it's automatically set the DEFAULT_SCHEMA to dbo so when the user created the table, the table will be owned by "dbo"
When granting db_owner to the Window group, DEFAULT SCHEMA WILL NOT be "dbo", for this reason when the user A(belonging to this Windows Group) created a table, that's table will be owned by user A instead of dbo.
1. is it normal behavior for the Windows group?
2. Is there any way you can grant to the group so the objects will be owned by dbo instead of the user who created the objects? or this is a behavior when MS introduce SCHEMA in 2005.
I've come up against a wall with regards to adding login via a windows group. My end goal is to be able to manage sysadmin access to many servers via a domain group instead of via individual logins at each server.
I've got a mix of 2000 and 2005 servers, with a related issue for each. Searching far and wide has come up empty so far.
In each case below, the a login for the group was created via EM/SSMS, and set with the sysadmin role.
1. Domain Local Group
I added a domain local group "domainsql accounts" with myself among others as members, including the domain account for the sql and agent services.
Adding this group to SQL2005 worked fine, and authenticates my login as a member of this group. Oddly, xp_logininfo [domainsql accounts] , 'members' returns error code 0x8ac. It does log me in, and it does correctly grant me sysadmin.
Adding this group to SQL2000 from EM, the group does not appear in the list for the domain. Typing it manually does recognize it as a group, but it does not allow login.
Next, I added a global group "domainsql dba", with myself among others as members. This group IS viewable in SQL2000 EM to add as a login. Unfortunately, I still cannot login via windows auth. Even stranger, xp_logininfo [domainsql dba] , 'members' correctly returns the members of this group. I know SQL can authenticate that group, and I am part of that group, yet it won't authenticate my login?
SQL2005 fails to allow login but will also return member info via xp_logininfo.
The closest thing I found was a MS kb entry that suggested creating a local group, adding the domain group as a member of the local group, and adding a login for the local group. It didn't work.
I'm kinda stuck with the following issue and would apreciate some help with it.
Basically i need to have a user within SQL that has rights to restore databases and is the owner of that database so it can alter the data. The problem i face is that at this moment i see no other way then making that user either member of the server role "sysadmin" or "serveradmin".
Anyway, these roles have to much rights. I tried using the dbcreator role which will make a the needed user db_owner but only when a new database is created, not when a database is restored.
Tried to resolve this with a DDL trigger and then temporarily run as a user with serveradmin rights, however there is no system event for restore database, so that doesn't work either.
I have been asked to grant a Windows group Full access to all tables under our Sandbox Schema. This will allow these users to do anything to the tables under this Schema.
I created the Windows Group (Sandbox Users), created the login in SQL, created the user in the database that is tied to the Windows group, then ran GRANT CONTROL ON SCHEMA::[Sandbox] TO [Sandbox Users].
I have verified that the users are in the Windows group, but they state that they still can not delete tables under the Sandbox Schema.
I just upgraded from Windows XP Pro to Windows Vista Bussiness and tried to reinstall SQL Server 2005 Developers Edition. After the installation i downloaded (using microsoft windows update) and installed all the service packs for sql and vista available.
My problem is when i open sql server management studio and try to connect to my default instance using windows authentication and database engine, an 18456 error occurs.
I enabled all the protocols and all the ports I disabled windows firewall and antivirus (eset nod32) I installed all service packs available I have also installed Visual Studio 2005 without installing sqlexpress
But nothing happens!
Please i am very desperate, any information will be gratefully accepted.

Hello, I do not succeed in authorizing the access of a group Windows NT to a linked server, on the other hand if I specify user's name it works. Please inform me. Pascal
We use local server windows groups to allow or disallow use of our SQL databases. We are now being asked to move off of our current server. My thoughts are to dettach and attach the database. What is going to happen to all my permissions based on the user groups of our old server? I intend to create the same group names on the new server but they will be newservergroupname as opposed to oldservergroupname. Is it just a case of scripting the database user, roles and object level permissions an manually changing oldserver to newserver?
Hello,I am putting together a row level security plan for our salesdatabase. I will give a brief description of the method I am thinkingof using to give you an idea of how I will need to be able to discoverthe group or login the user is using to access the data.I have a table called salesfact, it has all the sales info for all thebranches of our company. Each order(row) that is inserted has an entryin the division_number column to describe which branch the orderbelongs to. I have created another table(Branch_Folks) that has fourcolumns; username, windows_group, SQL_Login and division_number.I am using a view and SQL logins to control access to the data basedon the user, the SQL logins give windows groups access to the view.Only users that are added to the specific branch groups will haveaccess to the logins, but if a user is added to the group without mebeing notified, then he will not have a corresponding entry in theBranch_Folks table. Currently I am using the SUSER_SNAME() function todetermine which user is accessing the data from the view that I havecreated. The view uses this select statement to filter the data basedon the user & division.Select * from tsalesfact A, Branch_Folks B where SUSER_SNAME() =B.username and A.division_number = b.division_numberThis method works fine, but I will have to manually maintain the userlist in the Branch_Folks table in case a new user joins the windowsbranch group. I would like to use a function similar to SUSER_SNAME()that can determine the windows group or SQL Login a user is using.Does anyone know of a way to do this??Thanks a ton,Tim
I am getting error when I try to create a windows group and set default schema to db_owner.
Error message

Does anyone know how windows authentication works in SQL Server 2005 with regard to group membership? If a user is a member of two NT groups that have the same permissions in SQL then which group will be used to authenticate their login? The reason I ask is that logins have default languages associated with them so if a user is a member of NT group A with a default language of British English and is also a member of group B with a default language of US English then which one will be used and will it be the same one every time?
In our sql server we have around 40 windows group. Say a Windows user = "X" This X user does not have a direct windows login, he is present in one or more windows groups registered in the sql server.
I need to know throught which group he is logging in.
If I know this , this will help in my auditing process.
I am setting up security for access of database tables for members in a specific Windows User Group.I want to check in a SQL script if this Windows User group is added and if so, add database users and grant SELECT on specific tables.
I have tried this:
SELECT * FROM master.sys.syslogins WHERE name like '%FoeUsers' AND isntgroup = '1'
but that selects a SQL user or group and not a Windows Group.Is there a way to check if a Windows NT (active Directory) user group exists?
I'm fairly new to the world of SQL security (primarily a VB developer) and have a couple of questions/issues to resolve: The error I'm getting in my app is "the execute permission was denied on the object 'MySP'...schema 'dbo'". In essence I cannot execute any stored procedures when logged on as a non-admin user (all this was of course fine in my development environment, now I'm hitting the security issues!). My security is set up as follows:
Using Windows Authentication
I have an Active Directory Group "Group1", to which my non-admin user "User1" belongs. In SQL Mgt Studio I created a login for Group1 under Security/Logins I then created a user under MyDatabase/Security/Users, called "MyDbUser1". This uses the login above. All SPs are owned by dboSo what am I missing?
I have created a database fronted by an ASP.Net application. It's all nice and simple, and I only need a very simple level of security (and even that is only as a protection against accidents rather than maliciousness). My intention is that users connect using Windows impersonation (<identity="true">), with the database creator having full access and the public group (I'm talking SQL groups here) having specific premissions granted on specific tables.
If I set <identity="false"> on my XP box the application connects to the database as [MACHINEASPNET]. This is easy to set up access for - I simply do a
CREATE LOGIN [MACHINEASPNET] FROM WINDOWS
and then within the actual database do a
CREATE USER [MACHINEASPNET]
But as I said, I want to use Windows impersonation. When I set <identity="true">, the application correctly attempts to connect as the actual Windows user account (e.g. [MACHINE estuser]). If that user is the user who installed the database, then all is well and it has full access. For anything else, I get a "cannot log on" error - this much I expect.
So I want to permit logins for all other users, and I want this to work regardless of whether the machine is a standalone machine whose "domain" is simply the machine's own name, whether it is in some form of traditional peer-to-peer workgroup, or whether the machine is connected to a real domain. I also want it to work on XP and Windows Server 2003 (and ideally Vista also, but that can wait). When I try the following:
CREATE LOGIN [MACHINEUsers] FROM WINDOWS
I get this error:
Msg 15401, Level 16, State 1, Server MACHINESQLEXPRESS, Line 1 Windows NT user or group 'MACHINEUsers' not found. Check the name again.
Nor does it work with [Everyone] (that one has no domain/folder listed against it in any permissions dialogs on my domainless development PC). So I'm stuck and confused. It's taken me ages just to get this far. Any suggestions anyone?
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

I have a test environment set up at home with a small windows server 2003 Active Directory domain. I created a windows security group on the dc and added myself and another user to the group. I then use this group as a login for SQL Server and add the login to the sysadmin server role. This works exactly as I would expect on the Windows Server computer (which is also the Domain Controller) regardless of which computer I use to connect to this Windows Server computer. However, when I set up the exact same login on the local sql server instance of my client laptop running windows xp pro, the I get an error message (Login failed for user MYDOMAINdgolds...) when I attempt to connect to the local instance of SQL server, even though I am able to connect to the instance on the domain controller with no problems using this same client laptop under the same user account. The only way I am able to connect locally on the laptop under this account (which does not have local admin privileges on any box, for testing purposes) is to add the user account separately as a login, rather than as part of a group. I'm curious as to why being a member of a security group that is part of the sysadmin server role does not allow me to connect to the local instance of SQL Server on this client laptop. The windows server computer is running SQL2k5 Enterprise, and the client laptop is running SQL2k5 developer. Any insight into this would be appreciated.
If I have a domain user DOMAINuser1 who belongs to multiple window groups say DOMAINLookupConfigUsers and DOMAINAuditConfigUsers. In sqlserver, I would create two logins - DOMAINLookupConfigUsers and DOMAINAuditConfigUsers and matching users in the database. Then I grant LookupConfig role to the LookupConfigUsers user and AuditConfig role to the AuditConfigUsers user in the database. When DOMAINuser1 logs in, will it have both roles? I try to set this up but it does not seem to work. The domain user only picks up one of the role. Am I on the right track? If not, what is the proper way to grant multiple roles to a user when it belongs to multiple groups and each group has different privileges in the database.
We are having a problem with cross database ownership chaining. Below is a description of the problem:
I have a domain group named DOM1GROUP1 I have a domain user DOM2USER1 who is a member of DOM1GROUP1 (note that they are in different domains) I have a database DB1 which contains a stored procedure (st_insertdata) that does an insert in a table (tb_data) on DB2 DOM1GROUP1 has been granted login rights on the SQL Server DOM1GROUP1 is a user in both DB1 and DB2 DOM1GROUP1 has execute rights on procedure st_insertdata and insert rights on table tb_data. All objects are owned by the dbo schema. The database owner for DB1 and DB2 is sa
When DOM1USER1 executes st_insertdata an error is returned: The server principal "DOM1USER1" is not able to access the database "DB2" under the current security context.
I've played around with the options "trustworthy" and "db chaining" but these do not make any difference. The only thing that fixes this problem is if I create a login for DOM2USER1 and grant it access to DB2 (with no other rights other than membership of the public role).
It seems that SQL Server does not recognize that DOM2USER1 is a user in DB2 by virtue of its membership of the domain group DOM1GROUP1. Is there a way to get this to work without granting explicit rights to DOM2USER1?
== I asked this question directly to Remus and wanted to share the response to all of those people using this forum == We recently moved our database server from SQL Server 2000 to SQL Server 2005. All applications on our intranet development server stay the same [VS.NET 2003], but recently resources in our Dev DB server ran out of space.

Message The activated proc [dbo].[SqlQueryNotificationStoredProcedure-5eaf8465-d0cb-4be7-93b6-44bb979dd41c] running on queue BW_Content.dbo.SqlQueryNotificationService-5eaf8465-d0cb-4be7-93b6-44bb979dd41c output the following: 'Could not obtain information about Windows NT group/user 'BWCINCHoffK', error code 0x534.' ===========================================================================================
What is this SqlQueryNotificationService in my database? Is it a SQL Server 2005 thing? Why the same kind of stored procedure does not exist in other databases, but BW_Content? This error is getting repeated most probably every second and is filling up our server. I believe our corporate IT people removed our domain accounts from BWCINC domain to BWCORP domain and probably some application which is using BWCINCHoffK credential is getting errored out. I tried to locate this application and was not successful. Is there anyway that I can stop this ERRORLOG from growing? How can I delete these log entries so that I can make space on our Hard Drive? Is there an easy way in SQL Server 2005 to locate which application is creating this error? Response from Remus: The 'SqlQueryNotificationService-...' is the service created by SqlDependency when you call SqlDependency.Start (). The problem you describe appears because the 'dbo' user of the database is mapped to the login that originally created this database. The SqlDependency created queue has an EXECUTE AS OWNER clause, owner is 'dbo' and therefore this is equivalent to an EXECUTE AS USER = 'dbo'. The error you see is reported by the domain controller when asked to give information about the original account 'dbo' mapps to (that is, BWCINCHoffK'): Error code: (Win32) 0x534 (1332) - No mapping between account names and security IDs was done.
To solve the issue, change 'dbo' to match a correct login, using either sp_changedbowner or ALTER AUTHORIZATION ON DATABASE::[dbname] TO [somavalidlogin] To find the databases that have this problem, run this query:
select name, suser_sname(owner_sid) from sys.databases The databses that have the problem will show NULL on the second column. A similar problem is described here: http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=65711&SiteID=1
To remove the entries, use sp_cycle_errorlog to force a new errorlog file, then delete the huge log file. ---------------------------------------
I executed ALTER AUTHORIZATION ON DATABASE::[BW_Content] TO [sa];

I have a database which contains 5 db_owner. If I need to remove two of them (they have left the company and are not being replaced) so db_changedowner is out of the question.
What is the proper way to do this?
Do I need to transfer their ownerships to one of the existing db_owner?

I recently registered my hosted database server on my pc. When I ran aspnet_regsql.exe the table created have dbo as schema, but when I create a news table throught stored procedure it has my username as schema.When I buildt my site on my pc all tables have dbo as schema.How do I make all tables on my hosted server db have same schema?Thanks The very Newbie
is there a command that can change a login role to db_owner in all thetables, or do i have to use{USE table_nameEXEC sp_adduser 'login name'EXEC sp_addrolemember 'db_owner', 'login name'}for each of the tables ?thanks
Im duplicating a database by running the script below. This works fine. My only problem is that the dbo user does not by default have any role memberships in the new database hence no access. I have tried using sp_addrolemember but dbo is not a valid user for this procedure. Adding dbo to the db_owner role through the sql2005 MS works fine, but I would very much like to script this. Any suggestions?
