A Strong SA Password Is Required For Security Reasons?
Apr 3, 2005When I try to install SQL Server I get the follwing message when I click on the installation file :
A strong SA password is required for security
reasons.
Please use SAPWD
switch to supply the same. Refer to readme
for more details.
Setup will now exit.
I've checked the readme but can't really find any info on how to fix this.
I don't know what password this SA password is nor how to change it.
Can anyone help me out?
Urgent: Strong SAPWD Required On Win2003
Jun 3, 2008Hi folks.
I just tried to perform the install of SQLServer 2005 Express on a Win 2003 SP2 machine and the install failed with the rejection of the SA password. Currently, our pwd is 1 uppercase letter, 4 lowercase letters and 1 number for a total of 6 characters. Other installations on Win 2003 SP1 have worked fine in the past. I read in a recent version of Books Online that the SA pwd guidelines might have recently changed and that 8 characters might now be required.
My question is: do these new 8 character guidelines apply only to the sa pwd or to all logins?
Thanks!

SP3a And Strong Password Problem
Jul 23, 2005I urgently need tom use SP3a upgrade the instance of SQLServer200MSDE runing on my local machine but I am having problems in doing so.My first problem is that when I start the set up procedure I get themessage"A strong SA password is required for security reasons. Please useSAPWD switch to supply the same"Currently the sa password isAbc/def/ghk1Which I think is a 'strong password' according to the microsoft rulesathttp://www.microsoft.com/resources/...sword_tips.mspxI would be grateful if someone could confirm that Abc/def/ghk1 is astrong password.If anyone could point me to some published informal help on installingSP3a then that would also be very helpful (I do of course have the MSread me file). If anyone has a sample command line entry for theupdating then I would find that extremely useful. There is oneinstance of MSDE on my machine, named NetSDK.Best wishes, John Morgan
View 6 Replies View RelatedValid Characters For SQL Express SP1 Strong Password
May 1, 2006Hello,
I am attempting to upgrade an MSDE SP4 named instance to SQL Express SP1 and it is failing with a message that I must use Windows Authentication to continue the upgrade. The thing that I noticed is that when I specify an '@' sign in my sa password the upgrade fails, but if I specify a "#' sign instead the upgrade runs successfully.
The strong password rules appear to be that
1) the password must be greater than 8 characters
2) at least one character must be from 3 out of 4 of the following:
a) lower case characters
b) upper case characters
c) numeric
d) special characters (non-alphanumeric)
If I install the MSDE SP4 named instance with the password abcd@ABCD the upgrade to SQL Express SP1 fails with the message above. If I install the MSDE SP4 named instance with password abcd#ABCD the upgrade works.
The command I am using to install the MSDE instance is
"setup.exe INSTANCENAME=<instance> SAPWD=<password> SECURITYMODE=SQL"
To upgrade to SQL Express SP1 the command is
"setup.exe UPGRADE=SQL_Engine INSTANCENAME=<instance> SECURITYMODE=SQL" which fails when the sa password contains the "@".
Any help with this issue would be appreciated.
Thanks

Generate A Strong Name Key File
May 22, 2006I am a Newbie to programming and databases and would like to create a simple program for doing full text searching on a SQL database.
I have downloaded and installed Visual Basic 2005 Express, Web Developer 2005 Express, and SQL Server 2005 Express. I have watched several hours of video tutorials and done numerous tutorials. I feel I am making progress and having a lot of fun. My machine is running XP home edition.
I have found the following resource that looks like a good place for me to start with creating a full text search program:
€œSQL Server 2005 Books Online
Item Finder Sample
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms160844.aspx
However I am stuck at the beginning with trying to €œgenerate a strong name key file.€? I don€™t know how to €œopen a command prompt€? (I did confess to being a Newbie!!). I searched the database for this forum and found a relevant thread stating that €œSQLCMD is the command-line utility for SQL Server and is included with SQL Server 2005 Express Edition.€? I found the SQLCMD program on my computer but when I opened it, it does appear to provide the options listed below in the tutorial (i.e., €œclick start,€? €œPoint to all programs,€? etc.).
Initially here is what I need based on the first section of the tutorial:
Building the Sample
If you have not already created a strong name key file, generate the key file using the following instructions.
To generate a strong name key file
Open a Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 command prompt. ClickStart, point toAll Programs, point toMicrosoft .NET Framework SDK 2.0, and then clickSDK Command Prompt.
-- or --
Open a Microsoft .NET Framework command prompt. ClickStart, point toAll Programs, point toMicrosoft .NET Framework SDK 2.0, and then clickSDK Command Prompt.
Use the change directory command (CD) to change the current directory of the command prompt window to the folder where the samples are installed.
Note:
To determine the folder where samples are located, click theStartbutton, point toAll Programs, point toMicrosoft SQL Server 2005, point toDocumentation and Tutorials, and then clickSamples Directory. If the default installation location was used, the samples are located in <system_drive>:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL Server90Samples.
At the command prompt, run the following command to generate the key file:
sn -k SampleKey.snk
Important:
For more information about the strong-name key pair, see "Security Briefs: Strong Names and Security in the .NET Framework" in the .NET Development Center on MSDN.
How do I complete this initial step of generating a strong name key file for the tutorial? I guess I am missing something simple and once I get past this I will be able to complete the tutorial. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Strong SA Pwd Needed To Install MSDE
Nov 1, 2006Hi,My computer crashed and I have had to reinstall all the software. However, when I try to reinstall MSDE (server), it keeps telling me a strong SA password is required and to use the SAPWD to switch it. I cannot find SAPWD files or anyway to change this. After I get this message, the installation process stops. I didn't have this issue the first time I installed everything back in the beginning of September when the class started and before the computer crashed, I had no problem accessing a database using Web Matrix and the same server setup that I'm trying to install right now.If anyone can help me, I would be more than grateful.Thank youCarolyn (Crowbare)

Feb 23, 2005Hello,
Got aprivate webserver with two main sites which generate maximum 800.000 pages vieweved a day...
these are running ASP and SQL Server 2000
FREQUENTLY, SQL Server doesn't respond and seems to be blocked, wich cause all my pages to be unreachable by the fact that my header file open a SQL connection in every page.
I've read a lot of documentation about SQL blocking or deadlocking but shame on me i don't really understand how to easily identify the reason of blocking and far more important, still don't kow the way to STOP these.
Is there a way to set a global parameter to STOP any SQL request wich is longer than 10 seconds let says... ?
I tried SET LOCK_TIMEOUT timeout_period but it seems we have to put it in EVERY transaction... not simple. Further more i tried it and it generated me a lot of errors (example : returning -1 for recordcounts after a request)...
Any help for a newbie SQL user to avoid these blocks ?
Generating Strong Typed DataSet From An SP That Returns Two Tables.
Dec 26, 2007Hi,
I have a little question. I searched google, and could not find good answer for this one.
I have a stored procedure that returns two tables. Usually I generate a dataset out of a stored procedure by dragging it to the dataset.
When I drag this one it creates a DS with only one table, the first one. How can I make it use both tables?
Thank you.
T-SQL (SS2K8) :: Conversion From Varchar To Strong Data Types
Mar 21, 2013There are a few databases I work with that have been designed where varchar columns are used to store what actually displays on the front end as Ints, Decimals, Varchars, Datetimes, checkboxes.
I often have to write integrations with these databases bringing data in and prefer to validate the data whilst loading from the staging tables.
I have seen allsorts of values being passed into the staging tables that will load into the target database because the columns are all varchars but the values don't display on the front end because the app actively filters bad values out.
What I would like to do is for my validation scripts to warn up front of potentially invalid datatypes. My problem is that forexample the ISNUMERIC() function return 1 for the value ',1234' but a CONVERT(NUMERIC, ',1234') or CAST(',1234' AS NUMERIC) will fail with a "Error converting data type varchar to numeric).
I've been trying to locate a set of reliable datatype testing functions that will reliably determine if a varchar can be converted to a given data type or not.

View 3 Replies View RelatedSQL Server Agent Job Will Not Retain Package Password (encrypt Sensitive With Password)
Apr 1, 2008I have a package protected by a password - I am already unhappy that to get it to use the configuration file to change connection strings for the production servers I have had to hardcode the password into the config file - very insecure!
However, the package now deploys correctly to the production server and will run from there OK, but NOT if scheduled as a SQL Server Agent Job. Thus is because however often I edit the command line to include the password after the DECRYPT switch (which it has prompted me for when I click on the command line tab), the Job Step will not retain it.
If I open it up after I have edited it and closed it, the password has disappeared.
I know that if I run dtexec plus the code in the Command Line tab (with the password), the package runs OK.
This is driving me insane!
I have read all the other posts and so I tried replacing the SSIS package step with a CmdExec step and pasting that code into there - then I get an OLEDB error..
The code I use is:
DTEXEC /SQL "ImportRateMonitoringTables" /SERVER servername /DECRYPT password /CONFIGFILE "D:Microsoft SQL ServerSSISDeploymentsRateMonitoringImportTasksDeploymentImportRateMonitoringTables_Production.dtsConfig" /MAXCONCURRENT " -1 " /CHECKPOINTING OFF /REPORTING E
and I get
SSIS Error Code DTS_E_OLEDBERROR. An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x8000FFFF
although the same code executes perfectly from a command prompt.
Please does anyone have any experience with a similar problem and if so, how did you get round it?
Thank you
SQL 2005 SP2 - Windows 2003 Ent SP1 - Password Does Not Meet The Password Policy DLL
Jun 18, 2007I am receiving the following error message when attempting to create a new SQL Authenticated login id.
Password validation failed. The password does not meet the requirements of the password filter DLL. (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 15119)
I have four servers all running SQL Server 2005 SP2 on Windows 2003 Ent. SP1. Of the four servers, only one received the above error message using the same TSQL below.
CREATE LOGIN TEST_LOGIN WITH PASSWORD = 'pvif9dal' MUST_CHANGE, CHECK_EXPIRATION = ON
All four servers are in the same domain, which if I understand correctly, the password policies are therefore inherited at the OS level by the domain. The password being used is within the password policies of the domain.
Any ideas as to a root cause?

Remember My Password Is Forgetting Password
Mar 11, 2008On the login prompt for Report Server, there is a checkbox option to "Remember my Password." I check this, login successfully... but when returning to the Report Server, I am again prompted for the password, although the user name is saved. No matter how many times I do this, the password will not save in IE7. I have tried this on 3 different computers with IE7. In IE 6, I do not even get the checkbox as an option, just the user name/password prompt. In Firefox, the password saves fine. Any ideas what would be causing this?
Thanks,
Brian
Export Username / Password To CSV File To Test SP To Output Username / Password
Jun 2, 2014I put this together to export the user name /password to a csv file to test my SP to output the user name/password.
DECLARE @user_name varchar(50)
DECLARE @psswrd varchar(10)
SELECT @user_name ,@psswrd
FROM ngweb_bulk_enrollments
EXEC master.dbo.xp_cmdshell 'bcp NGDevl.dbo.ngweb_bulk_enrollments out C: est.csv -Sserver1 -T -t, -r

This works but I don't get the headers in the file. How can I include the headers?
Equivalent To MySQL's Password() Function? (was MySQL To SQL Server And Password())
Mar 3, 2005I have an internal Project Management and Scheduling app that I wrote internally for my company. It was written to use MySQL running on a Debian server, but I am going to move it to SQL Server 2000 and integrate it with our Accounting software. The part I am having trouble with is the user login portion. I previously used this:
PHP Code:
$sql = "SELECT * FROM users WHERE username = "$username" AND user_password = password("$password")";
Apparently the password() function is not available when accessing SQL Server via ODBC. Is there an equivalent function I could use isntead so the passwords arent plaintext in the database? I only have 15 people using the system so a blank pwd reset wouldn't be too much trouble.

Mail not queued. Database Mail is stopped. Use sysmail_start_sp to start Database Mail.
I'd like the emails to be queued... I just want to postpone sending them. Anyone know how to do this?
