Guest Id In Tempdb Disappeared.
Feb 28, 2001Hi All,
I encountered a bizzard situation. The guest id in tempdb disappeared after I rebooted (shutdown and startup) my server. That caused errors in application whenever a stored proc needs to create a temporary table.
Has anyone seen this happened before? Any idea on why or how it happened?
Thanks in advance.

Master Db - Minimum Permissions For Guest
Jan 7, 2008
Hi All:
I hope I'm in the correct forum for this question. If I'm not, forgive me and point me in the proper direction.
I have SQL Server 2000 databases that I am trying to secure. To that end I've deleted the guest account from all but the master and tempdb databases.
Within the master db I've denied access of any "flavor" to all objects but spt_values, syscharsets, sp_MSSQLDMO80_version, and sp_MSdbuserpriv (only because I've discovered they are necessary).
Can anyone tell me where I might find the absolute minimum permissions configuration for the guest account in master?
I have no third party vendor software accessing my SQL Server 2000 databases. The thought of

How To Shrink The Tempdb.mdf And Master.mdf
Jan 29, 2008I have a install of SQL 2005 that is about 5 months old. The tempdb.mdf and master.mdf files have ballooned to a huge size almost filling my hard drive. How do I reset them to a reasonable size?
View 14 Replies View RelatedChanging Location Of Master, Msdb, Tempdb, Etc
Nov 3, 2003When SQLserver2K was installed it placed master, model, msdb, tempdb data files in the installation location (i.e. C:Program Files....). This puts pressure on the C: drive, which also holds the page/swapfile. I want to move at least the tempdb location to the new 'Default data directory' and log directory we set after installation (i.e. E:MSSQLData).
How do I get tempdb to relocate to E: given that it gets recreated each time SQLserver starts?

Benefit Of Moving Master && TempDB To Diff HD
Jul 20, 2005I am interested to hear if people think it would be a good idea to movethe Master & TempDB to a different HD.Here is my DB Server's set up:1. Processor: (1) AMD XP 28002. 1st HD (IDE 0) is the system & boot drive3. (3) SCSI HD make up a hardware RAID level 0 (striped withoutparity)solution - these striped drives are just for my working DBs4. (1) SCSI HD that's not doing anything.I want to put the Master & TempDB on the SCSI HD that's not doinganything. Would that be the best place for it for maximum performance orshould I put in the striped array. I am leaning more towards putting onthe SCSI HD that's not doing anything. What do you all think?Ed*** Sent via Developersdex http://www.developersdex.com ***Don't just participate in USENET...get rewarded for it!
View 1 Replies View RelatedMaster.sys.master_files WHERE Database_id = 2 &&<&&> Tempdb.sys.database_files
Oct 30, 2007
We had an issue last night where tempdb ran out of space on one of our servers. Upon investigation I found that SSMS was reporting only one data file assigned to tempdb. I knew this couldn't be the case and dove into the system tables to figure out what is going on. I found what appears to be data corruption. There are a number of file records that appear in the master.sys.master_database_files that do not appear in the sys.database_files table in tempdb.
I tried to add files that it showed already existed and they of course errored out. I restarted SQL Server to get tempdb rebuilt and that did not work either.
Has anyone else ever ran into this? What was the resolution?
Here are some queries to demonstrate what I am seeing. Terrible formatting I know, but I don't know of a better way.

Collation Inconsistancies - MASTER And TEMPDB Dont Match
May 7, 2008hi folks
I€™ve had a SQL 2000 server restored (using Veritas 9.1) to another server also running SQL 2000. I now have a collation problem.
When trying to add users to a database, I receive a "Error 446: Cannot resolve collation conflict for equal to operation" message.
I noted that tempdb and user tables collation don€™t match - so I was going to change the user tables. However, the master collation doesnt match tempdb, model or msdb.
Server is set to SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS
Master - SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS
tempdb, model, msdb - Latin1_General_CI_AS
I was under the impression that when tempdb was recreated it inherited the master database's collation? This doesn€™t seem to be happening.
any ideas?
much appreciated

Guest Access?
Oct 25, 1999If our SQL Server is not part of a domain, can "Guest" users still connect to the SQL server?
What we are experiencing is -- when a drive is mapped to the server connectivity is fine.
But, without the drive mapping, the SQL connections cannot be made.
Thoughts, Ideas,
(hopefully without adding unique logins for each user at the server)

Jul 20, 2005Nel database "master" ho mappato, per errore, l'utente "guest" su unutente sql "XXX" creato in SQLServer.Questo tipo di impostazione non permette più di aver accesso conl'utente anonimo "guest" (mappato su null) al db (con autorizzazionilimitate al ruolo public).Ho provato sia da EM che con le varie SP a rimuovere l'utente, amapparlo su un'altro utente, ... ma non sono riuscito a ripristinarela situazione di partenza.Mi servirebbe una idea per non dover effettuare il backup di tutti idb, disinstallare SQLServer, reinstallare SQLServer e fare il restoredi tutti i db (soluzione possibile ma che tengo come ultimaspiaggia!!).Grazie

We're running a .Net web application with a SQL Server 2000 backend, and we get the error intermittently. Restarting the SQL Server service seems to fix it, as it causes tempdb to be rebuilt, but this isn't a long term solution. Any direction or hints would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Login Failure For Guest
May 11, 2004I would like a guest to view some items on the application.
And I recently intalled SQL Server 2000 on my machine. Will integrate Access when ready.
I can access or simply read data from a db if I specify User ID and Password.
Such as....
Dim nwindConn As SqlConnection = New SqlConnection("Data Source=localhost;User Id=sa;Password=xxxxx;Initial Catalog=Northwind;")
Yes, testing first, then adjusting all my code for the SQL instead of Access.
If I leave the id and pw out, it won't read - login failure.
I have read so much on authentication and some posts here, even the one on login failure, but that didn't help.
Keep in mind, just installed, only users are the default ones by the installation.
What setting in the SQL Server is there, and I have looked, that if it's a guest, no id or pw, allow read only to items such as datagrids which only read from tables?
Thanks all,
Zath

Guest Account Issue
Apr 15, 2008Hi,
I have some questions regarding guest acct. I am using some database security scanning software (again) and it says that guest acct should be dropped from these databases, msdb, pubs, Northwind.
Can i safely say that i can drop the guest acct in pubs and Northwind without any issue?
For msdb, will there be any concerns? How can i verify?
If i just revoke the public permission on guest, is it the same as dropping the user?
Lastly, I see that in all databases, the guest acct exists, but some are of permit and some are of via group membership for the database access column. What is the difference?
Thanks guys. appreciate your help. Audit deadline coming up.. i still have about 20 more audit pts to go... :)

Sep 24, 2015I've read a bunch of articles saying you should always remove the guest user from the user databases and model.

View 1 Replies View RelatedDENY Or REVOKE Rights To PUBLIC And GUEST
May 14, 2008Hi Guys,
We are using MS SQL 2005. I am ask to remove the PUBLIC rights to the objects listed in the following query in the master DB:
SELECT sysusers.name, sysobjects.name,sysprotects.action FROM sysobjects, sysusers, sysprotects WHERE sysobjects.id = sysprotects.id AND sysprotects.uid = sysusers.uid AND sysprotects.protecttype = 205
I keep having the "Cannot find the object [Objectname], because it does not exists or you do not have permission."
How do I create a query to remove the PUBLIC rights at a single run. (There are total of 1660 items, please dun ask me to write the DENY or REVOKE statement 1660 time )
How do I DENY the rights for objects starting with the prefix "dm_" or items like "TABLE PRIVILEGES"
Thanks guys Any help on this is greatly appreciated.
Guest Account Enabled Via Group Membership
Jul 30, 2007Hi
I have a situation (on SQL Server 2000 SP3a) where the guest account appears in the list of database users despite the account being removed via sp_dropuser.
The guest account appears in the list of users with Database Access set as 'Via Group Membership'
Once in this state it cannot be removed as sp_drop user will now report:
Server: Msg 15008, Level 16, State 1, Procedure sp_revokedbaccess, Line 36
User 'guest' does not exist in the current database.
My conerns are:
(a) Does this imply any security risks ?
(b) How can I remove all reference to the guest account?
Any ideas or suggestions would be appreciated

Public Role And Guest Security Concern In SQL 2000 SP4
Sep 8, 2006Hi all,
I have setup a new SQL 2000 SP4 and internal auditor query about revoke permission from Public role and remove guest from all databases.
1. Can I revoke all default permissions (select on system tables in all DBs) from "Public" role? I am concern any error after such action.
2. I found that guest account in DB -- master, tempdb and msdb. According to Microsoft documents. The account should not remove and can't from master and tempdb. How about msdb?
Thanks,
Regards,

Guest Principal Assigned To Datareader Role Does Have Access
Mar 1, 2007Hello (help),
In SQL2000, when the Guest account was assigned into a role, such as db_datareader, then querying across databases worked just fine.
Specifically:
I have a Report Writer application that connects to the SQL Server with a login (ReportRunner) that actually has very limited permissions on a database.
The connection is then set (sp_setapprole) to use an Application role (App_RR) that has the necessary permissions.
The report-writer app calls a Stored Procedure that gathers data from several other databases (on the same SQL instance).
In SQL 2000, accessing these other databases was done through Guest - we assigned Guest to the db_datareader role. All worked fine.
We've just upgraded to SQL2005: reports started failing. It seems that although guest is assigned to the db_datareader role, the permissions for Guest don't allow selecting from tables via the db_datareader role: we've had to GRANT SELECT TO Guest specifically on the tables necessary for the report.
Is anyone aware of a design change withing SQL Server such that the Guest principal's roles are disregarded when assessing permission? Is there a new and better way to structure the permissions?
Thanks in advance for your help.

SQL Security :: Unable To Change Guest Schema Owner
Jul 22, 2015One of our databases has at some point in its dark past had the owner of the guest schema changed to be a named user, rather than the default guest user. Correcting this feels like it would be easy enough by running the following...
  ALTER AUTHORIZATION ON SCHEMA::guest TO guest
but that results in..
  Msg 15150, Level 16, State 2, Line 3
  Cannot alter the schema 'guest'.
I realise the guest schema is a special one, and cannot be dropped, but I'm not trying to do that. End goal is to export the database to a SQL Azure DB, and this guest schema assignment is blocking that process from completing.
URGENT: Problems With Guest User In SQL 2005 Restoring Databases From Sql 2000
Sep 18, 2006Hi all.
I don't know if this is the right forum to post this question, but here it goes.
We have restored into sql 2005 the database backups made in sql 2000. We connect with trusted connection and application roles, and when trying to execute a transaction to another database (with the guest user), we get a permission error.
Does anyone know if, apart from restoring the databases, we should do something else to get the guest user working the same way as with sql 2000 in the restored databases?
Thanks in advance for your help.
