whats the simplest way to migrate a user account from a master development SQL server to local development sql servers and also to a production server?
we can recreate the SQL account everywhere, but if we take a backup from one machine and restore to another, we loose access because the accounts arent truly the same account.
Hello,My server is part of a W2K domain. What do you advice me as account torun my SQL*Server, service started with a domain user account or aslocal system ?I need advices from a security point of view.Thank's in advance
View 4 Replies View RelatedHi all,
I've recently installed SQL-Server 2005 on our production server (win server r2, .net framework 2.0, 3.0 etc ..).
In order to improve the security mechanism I'm allowing only windows authentication (not mixed mode).
If each site and the sql-process is given a specific user account, could it have some bad performance issues ?
Security-wise, which is better ?
Few things to point out:
1. The SQL process was assigned with a local user account (i.e : [machine name]SqlServerUser) and not using NT AUTHORITYNETWORK_SERVICE.
2. Every ASP.Net site on the server assigned with a local account (i.e : [machine name]SomeSiteUser) through the IIS's Directory Security tab and not using IUSR_[machine name].
3. Each "Site User" has the appropriate database authorization in sql.
Any given help will be appreciated, thanks.
This is my first time to deploy an asp.net2 web site. Everything is working fine on my local computer but when i published the web site on a remote computer i get the error "Failed to generate a user instance of SQL Server due to failure in retrieving the user's local application data path. Please make sure the user has a local user profile on the computer. The connection will be closed" (only in pages that try to access the database)
Help pleaseee
During install of SQL Server 2005, we can of course use a domain account or the built-in system account for running the services. I lean toward domain for obvious reaons but would like to know a +/- to each option and why I'd choose one over the other and what consequences or limitations one may encounter if I choose one over the other.
View 6 Replies View RelatedHi there,BOL notes that in order for replication agents to run properly, theSQLServerAgent must run as a domain account which has privledges to loginto the other machines involved in replication (under "SecurityConsiderations" and elsewhere). This makes sense; however, I waswondering if there were any repercussions to using duplicate localaccounts to establish replication where a domain was not available.Anotherwords, create a local windows account "johndoe" on both machines(with the same password), grant that account access to SQL Server onboth machines, and then have SQL Server Agent run as "johndoe" on bothmachines. I do not feel this is an ideal solution but I havecircumstances under which I may not have a domain available; mypreliminary tests seem to work.Also, are there any similar considerations regarding the MSSQLSERVERservice, or can I always leave that as local system?Dave

Hi All,
How can I tell how SQL Agent is configured to start up with? Is it with the local system account or domain account?
Thanks.
Just spotted that some cowboys install a Live DB Server using Local System Account for the SQL Server Service.
Gonna change it to a Domain Admin Account tonight.
Anyone got any advice or warnings about any "gotchas" I might run in to during a job like this?
Hi,
Is it possible to set up database mirroring between two servers that have SQL Service running under Local system? I tried to setup mirroring between two servers running under Local system but was running into the following error:
Server or Network address cannot be reached or does not exist.
What are the pre-requisites for setting up database mirroring if the service runs under Local system? Do I have to configure certificates? Is that mandatory? Can anyone please let me know. Any other gotchas?
Thanks

is there any way to do it.
If not is there any document stating this.
Please guide me.

Hi folks.
When installing SQLServer 2005 Express, I use the following command line:
cmdline = " /qb ADDLOCAL=SQL_Engine,SQL_Data_Files SECURITYMODE=SQL INSTANCENAME=MyServer SAPWD=MyPwd DISABLENETWORKPROTOCOLS=0 SQLAUTOSTART=1 requiresmsiengine=1"
I noticed that when installing on a Windows XP machine, the installation results in a SQLServer instance which is configured with Built-in account = Network Service. However, with the same command line used on Windows 2000 machines, the configuration winds up being Built-in account = Local System. My understanding is that the default configuration is supposed to be Local System.
What can I do to ensure that the instance configuration is always Local System during the silent installation? This is required otherwise, under the Network Service configuration, it creates a messy situation to attach DBs.
Thanks!
Mike

I have got a strange problem on runing SSIS package, please help me.
The package contains a Script Task which function is downloading files from a SFTP server with using psftp command line application. It will run successfully with using dtutil.exe and as a job with using a ssis execute proxy(domian account as credential), but fail runing the package as a job with using a ssis execute proxy(local windows account as credential, although has Administrator permission).
It seems a permission problem, but I try a lot and can't solve it.
Would you kind give me some suggestion ?
Thanks a lot.

I'm trying to do an unattended install of SQL Express 2005 SP2, and specify that the service runs under the Local Service account. Prior versions of SQL Express worked fine.
With SQL Express 2005 SP2, however, the install fails on XP Pro SP2. It *does* work on Winows 2003 Server.
Here's the command line I'm using:
SQLEXPR.EXE /QB ADDLOCAL=ALL INSTANCENAME=FOO SECURITYMODE=SQL SAPWD=BAR SQLACCOUNT="NT AUTHORITYLOCAL SERVICE"
It fails at the end of the install, saying it can't start the service. If I use "NETWORK SERVICE", it works fine, but that's more privileges than I want the service to have. Is there something else on the command line that I can try to get it to work?
Is this even supported?

Hi. can anybody suggest command line option to install sql express 2005 under local system account? currently it defaults to 'Network service'.
Thanks in advance.
My SQL Server 2005 runs on a local account. Is it neccesary to assign this login in SQL to a System Administrator role?
And is there any difference in SQL Server 2000?

my local instance of reporting services is named and therefore I think causing me a problem when I issue the following command to set up an unattended account...
rsconfig -s localhostinstance name -e -u domain nameuser name -p password
the message I keep getting is "No Reporting Services instance found on local host.". I tried a couple of things including replacement of the word localhost with my computer name but to no avail. I tried single and double quotes around the -s parameter but no success.
Anybody know how to do this?
Hi all hope some one can help - please bear with me new to this
Basically I have had to change pc's so I copied and pasted my ASPNET.MDF and LDF from my old pc to new PC including webpages/apps etc.. created.
However now all I get is "Failed to generate a user instance of SQL Server due to failure in retrieving the user's local application data path """"
Just don't understand what permissions the db should have, does it need to match the SQL Express owner...
any help would be most appreciated

I installed my asp.net 2.0 web application and sql express june editon on my windows 2003 server.When the application tries to reach the database i am getting the following error"Failed to generate a user instance of SQL Server due to failure in retrieving the user's local application data path. Please make sure the user has a local user profile on the computer. The connection will be closed."I can understand that it has something to do with user right but more than that I am pretty lost. Can anyone translate this error for me and give me some tips on what do to.I checked first the user running the sql express service and saw it was the NETWORK SERVICE user. I changed it to be the local system account but that did not make any difference. The application is running just fine on my local computer(Win XP sp2). This one has SQL express April edition though.

My replication is not working. I was able to create a transactional replication successfully. However, when i tried starting the agent on the snapshot, it wouldn't work. I figure that it was because my agent service login is different from that of the subscriber. my publisher and distributor is on local user whereas my subsciber sql services use our global login.
Thank you in advance. Good day!
Hi!
I'm using RDA from my Windows Mobile. On my developer computer I've set up anonymous authentication against my IIS. Now I want to set it up for real. What access should the RdaUser account have that I use in IIS to be able to work correct against the Sql Server 2005? Is User group preveliges ok? In Sql Server 2005 do I need to add the RdaUser to Server Logins and map against my database?

We recently upgraded to SQL 2005 from SQL 2000. We have most of our issues ironed out however about every 1 minute there is a message in the Application Event log and the SQL log that states:
EVENT ID 18456 Login Failed for the users DOMAIN/ACCOUNT [CLIENT: <local machine>]
This is a state 16 message which I thought meant that the account does not have access to the default database. The account is actually the account that the SQL services run under.
Any ideas? We can't seem to figure this one out. We actually upgraded to 2005 from 2000 and had an error appear after every reboot that prevented the SQL Agent from running(This application has failed to start because GAPI32.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem.) We did a full uninstall of SQL and reinstalled fresh and restored the databases from .bak files and that is when the EVENT ID 18546 started occuring every minute.
We don't have any SQL heavy hitters here so please be detailed with any possible solutions. That you very much for any help you can provide!

Hi all,I would like to know how I can retrieve the user ID and password from the DB if I have created a new user account using SQL server 2000? I want to create a login page in .aspx page but I am not sure how I can pull out the login info from the DB and then compare with the uesr input? Is that any specific table store the user ID and password by default?I would be very appreciated for any code example in both conditions (window authentication and SQL server authentication). Thanks.

Hi,
My original account on the AD (Active Directory) was Usr129 and at that time I had installed MSDE on my local box - due to which my "local MSSQLServer" was also called Usr129.
Sometime back our LAN administrator renamed the accounts of all users. My new account on the AD (after this renaming) became GBUsr1177. Untill recently, my "local MSSQLServer" also appeared to have easily go through this renaming activity and thus my local installation became GBUsr1177.
Recently I started to have performance problem (on everything that I do on my local SQL installation via Enterprise manager) and I have this "feeling" that probably at the bacground it is still searching for the old SQL installation???
Can someone please guide me regarding how to get out of this (without re-installating everything).
New to SQL Server. Plan to install SQL Server 2005 standard edition on Windows 2k3. After searched a lot of places, still don't understand what exactly "domain user account" is. Could someone explain it to me?
1. Is this a OS account where SQL Server is running?
2. Or, is this an account under domain controller on other machine? Is this an account on DNS srver? How do I create it?
3. Or, is this an account in SQL Server?
Where is this account located? How do I manage it?
TIA.
I found the the status of guest account in model database is abnormal,but i don't know how to make it active.
any suggestions?
