Hello!
We are running MS SQLServer 7.0 with ASP on Win 2k Server.
Today suddenly the Web server couldn't connect to the DB Server
because the password for sa was wrong.
We found out that the password was changed.
Is it some kind of hacking thing or just normal password expiration?
The same thing happended several month ago.
Thanks.

I am trying to adapt a vb6 application to support sqls 2005 features. I am using SQL Server Authentication and want to support the feature which forces the user to change his password on the next login. Using an SQLOLEDB connection string, on trying to log I get an error saying that the password must be changed - fair enough - but how can I do this? I would have expected to be able to supply both old and new passwords in the connection string, but there does not seem to be any such feature. Am I missing something obvious?
Couldn't able to login with sa account, seems someone having admin account have changed this sa password.Is there any way to determine who and when have changed this password.It is known that SQL can't log this information in its log, is there any other ways.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI changed the login password on my computer today, and now I cannot connect to the SQL Server instance I have on that same machine. I am using Windows Authentication. I would think that, if I can log on to my computer, I would be able to connect to the database, since I have been "authenticated" by windows but, that does not appear to be the case. Can anyone offer any advice? Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

Hi All,

Login failed for user '%.*ls'. Reason: The password of the account must be changed.
where would the windows shows up to change it similary we do when we connect through Management studio and provide new password.
Any idea.
Any idea why this happened and what do i have to do to reslove it?

I have connected to Database using my credentials by checking remember password option. After few days I forgot my password. How can I recover the password as SQL remember it. Is there any way to recover my password instead of resetting it.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI 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
I 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?

On 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
I 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
-c'
This works but I don't get the headers in the file. How can I include the headers?
I 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.
Is there a way to produce a query to look at when and who changed database objects last?

Maybe somebody has asked this question, but I could not find it....
I used SSIS to transfer data from Oracle database to SQL Server 2005 (with Microsoft OLE DB Provider for Oracle). It worked fine with the TNS alias name said oracle1. Then I changed the TNS alias name to oracle2. I could connect to Oracle database with oracle2 using Oracle's tool. But SSIS could not find (or solve) oracle2, if I changed the name back to oracle1 in SSIS, then SSIS worked.
Any idea?
Thanks!
Hello,
I have developed a report based on a stored procedure which will generate an excel file. There is a requirement that this file needs to be sent to an external domain with the name changed accordingly i.e., a date is to be suffixed to the file after the name has been changed based on their naming convention.
I would appreciate, if anybody has done so and can give me some steps for me to work out.
TIA
I have a page that uses an SQLDataSource web control to populate a GridView control. The SQLDataSource control uses three parameters, one of which is a text string (varchar(50)). I get timeout expired exceptions when I run the page with two specific string values, yet when I run the stored procedure in SqlSvr Management Studio, the procedure runs in 5 seconds and under 1 seconds. Being rnew to ASP.NET 2.0 and .Net in general, I have no idea where this lag is occurring. I would like to know two things:
1. What is causing the lag that causes the timeout in ASP.NET 2.0.
2. What can be done to adjust the timeout period SQLSVR, IIS, ASP.NET).
The underlying query is running as desired (considering the data it has to chew on). For all other values, data is returned almost instantanious. I can provide a copy of the query id need be.
Truly appreciate any insight you can give me!
i changed my state table from char 20 to varchar 20 and it still fills it with empty space at the end of the statename
I tried entering it with the trim command still no good
i looked a the sql command made in vs and it says that the variables are varchar
is there something i am missing with varchar
does it only work properly if it is over 50 or does it not change completely when you change from char to varchar
Is there any way to reconfigure SQLSERVER if the name of the server was changed after the initial installation of Sql was completed?

Soon, we are going to redesign our servers and their positioning insofar as web access is concerned. The SQL Server will go to a DMZ.
Its IP Address (as well as hostname) is to be changed. Can you offer suggestions about what to be aware of on these two items?
I've been involved in a hostname change befoew (and, it's a pain), but never an IP Address.

View 1 Replies View RelatedFirst of all, let me apoligize if this is a stupid question, but just a few days ago I decided to change my FE/BE database from Ms Access to SQL Server Express. Now I have a FE in ACC2002 and a BE in SQL SERVER (the two connected via ODBC). Anyway, this is my question:
When everything was in Access I had a form retreiving a series of records based on a filter - for understanding purpose let's say that a field must have been 'Not Null'. The operator then filled that field with data. With Access everything was static, and the operator could see all the records, the ones already changed and the ones not changed. With SQL now: everytime the operator fills in the field, the record changes to #Deleted. I assume that that is happening because the query - someway - is "alive" and is "filtering data alive"... or is updating records instantly. Just to make things more clear: is the record changed immediately so it is not considered part of the filtered data by the query, thus being change to #Deleted? What could I do to prevent this?
Thanks a lot for your help.
Hi,
I hava a table with the following information
CREATE TABLE TEMP1 (REFID INT, REVISION INT, FIELDNAM VARCHAR(10), VALUE VARCHAR(10));
INSERT INTO TEMP1 VALUES(1001, 0, 'A', 'A2');
INSERT INTO TEMP1 VALUES(1001, 0, 'C', 'C2');
INSERT INTO TEMP1 VALUES(1001, 0, 'E', 'E2');
INSERT INTO TEMP1 VALUES(1002, 0, 'A', 'A3');
INSERT INTO TEMP1 VALUES(1002, 0, 'B', 'B2');
INSERT INTO TEMP1 VALUES(1002, 0, 'E', 'E3');
INSERT INTO TEMP1 VALUES(1001, 1, 'A', 'A4');
INSERT INTO TEMP1 VALUES(1001, 1, 'E', 'E4');
Here based on latest revision and refid I should get the fieldnam and value.
Expected output:
REFID FIELDNAM VALUE REVISION
1001 A A4 1
1001 E E4 1
1002 B B2 0
1001 C C2 0

I am trying to find the last changed date for a procedure. I have located the date created in the sysobjects table (crdate). Is this available?
View 8 Replies View RelatedOkay, 2 questions here.
First I want to query everyone with a date greater than today in the field EXPIRATION DATE. I know I can say > 2006-03-19 but I always want it to be TODAY.
Next, Is there a system field that I can search for the date a record was last updated?? I make frequent changes, and I want others to see what date a record was last updated. If not, can I tell the system to mark a field "YES" when I make changes?
I use phpmyadmin. I do not have server access, just through PHP.
Thanks!
