I have a reporting server that needs to be utilized now but the person that set it up is no longer with the company.
We have no idea what login he used to install the server and nobody was granted admin rights to the server.
is there anything we can do to give someone admin access without having to reinstall (I don't think that is an option)??
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 RelatedHi all,
Is it possible to recover or find the password of database or resetting is the only option? I have a database that has a two users in the Users tab. How to find out the password for these?
Thanks,
I have set the environment set for AutoRecover (for every 3 minutes and Keep information for 7 days under the SSMS 2014 Menu: Tools -> Option ->Environment -> AutoRecover).
I've rebooted the box and restarted the SQL Server service and nothing seems to create the files.
SQL server, by-mistake I updated values of a column in a database hosted online, is there any way undo the transaction. I didn't created any backup of the database. I read that still it can be recovered through the .ldf (log file) but unable to access it. Is there anyway to get access of the Log file or is there any way to recover the data.

I just installed VS.NET 2005 on my computer and along the way SQL Server Express edition got installed too. What is the default sa password right out of the box? I actually want to use Windows authentication but was not able to set my domain account in there w/ administrative rights. I'd appreciate some help here.
Thanks,
Sam
If someone can tell if it is wise change the SA account password after all of your databases have been set up using NT Authentication for login. Also, by using the sa password at login are you providing more security and and who should have access to that password (Your developers or your Administrators?)
Thanks
hi all,
i have installed mssql2k in win2000 server. since it was for my personal use, i did not give a password for the 'administrator' user in win2k. later on i cahnged the admin password,but my sqlserver did not start due to login failure.

Hi there,
i have a test sql server. personal Edition Sp2. i loggoed on with a domain account that is part of local admin group. i was surprised when i found that i don't have enough access to work on the database like create and restore databases
i tried to log on with sa but password not succeeded i don't remember that i had changed the password or put a difficult one.
i also tried from the local administrator i also couldn't get the permission !!
what could gone wrong ? thanks god its only a test server :S
I am using SQL server 7, all service packs. We recently changed the NT Administrator password because of staffing changes. After doing so, I have 2 scheduled DTS job that are failing with an "unspecified error" -2147008507 (80074005). All other scheduled DTS packages succeed (about 20 other jobs including 1 DTS).
I have not found this error documented. I am assuming this has to do with the password change, but I have not been able to resolve it. The DTS packages run fine by hand (manually). I recreated the scheduled jobs several different ways but they still fail.
Any information on this is most appreciated! Thank-you!!
The full message is:

If I install an instance with Windows Only authentication, and then change it to Mixed Mode, if I enable the sa login, the password has already been set. What is the default? If it's generated, how secure is it? Is the password generated? What algorithm is used for that?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have a local instance of SQL 2012 express,
Somehow my admin privileges have been lost, and the sa password is not Password123.
Is there anyway to reset this password without re-installing SQL server.
After publishing report on server and accessing it from URL its prompting for the USER ID and pAssword of Admin user of the server. Have tried to find the Virtual Directory of the Reporting server on IIS - which is not available. or unable to find the same. Apart from this have saved the Database credential in the report itself.
View 5 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 want to set up a database role so that users can use sp_readerrorlog through SSMS. It does a check on membership in the securityadmin role.
I have tested it and can see you can grant execute on xp_readerrorlog but the SSMS GUI uses sp_readerrorlog.
I thought I could create a user/certificate and add the signature to sp_readerrorlog but it's not permitted (likely because it's not a normal database object).
So the other solution is to add the users to the securityadmin role but then explicitly deny alter any login (best done with a custom server role in 2012+ but otherwise just manually in 2008). I tested this out and it works, I'm not able to alter any logins or increase my own permissions, I also did a check of what's reported from fn_my_permissions(null, null) and it shows minimal permissions like I'd expect.
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?

Does anyone know what is the Equivalent of Top in Oracle.

nevermind. please ignore this. theres too much extra data that id have to provide, but it would confuse the question so much that it couldnt be answered properly.
View 4 Replies View RelatedHi All,
We are evaluating DB mirroring for our production box. But we have some queries with the operating mode available for mirroring.
1) I set the database miroring operation mode to full safety mode which is with synchronous. And Then executed a command to insert data in bulk in principal, the changes were commited to principal even when they are still getting mirrored to mirror server.
But as per the mirroring documentation from microsoft says this
"If transaction safety (or just 'safety') is set to FULL, the principal and mirror servers operate in a synchronous transfer mode. As the principal server hardens its principal database log records to disk, it also sends them to the mirror. The principal then waits for a response from the mirror server. The mirror responds when it has hardened those same log records to the mirror's log disk."
Is this a bug or I am doing anything wrong.
2) Mirroring documentation also says that when the transaction is on full safety mode, and if mirror and witness goes down then principal goes to read only mode. But again I saw deviation from the documentatin because when I turned mirror and witness off, principal went to "In recovery" mode.
Please help incase anybdy have faced this before or can help me if I am interpreting it wrong.
Thanks

Hi,
I am using LIKE operator for a query to get wild card searched data.
for example if i give AN, should get for %AN% only. But it is returning data for %NA% data too. I cross checked by giving simple data. Please help me on this.
Thanks in advance
Functionally, is there any difference between DATEPART for m, d, and yyyy, verses simply using MONTH, DAY, and YEAR functions respectively?
For all intents and purposes, they seem identical, so is there any performance considerations using one verses another?
I have a table in one database (source) and an equivalent table in another (destination) and I need to move from my source to my destination database.
When I move the data I need to do the equivalent of an updategram, so for instance compare primary keys and if it exists in both do an update, if it is in source but not destination do an insert, if it is in destination but not source do a delete.
Is there already a process for doing this, as it seems pretty fundamental but I've not really found anything that gives the result I need?
If not, is there a way of doing this with what is available within Data Flows or should I just go ahead and go through the pain of creating my own data flow destination object?
TIA,
CD
I design a reporting services solution based on the standard Report Manager web site.
I configure IIS using basic authentication and passing the user credential to SSAS 2005 DB for securing data access.
Everything funtions well .... but now my client ask me for a new 'funcionality'.
They ask me to add a logoff button to change the current logged user.
Any suggestion how to implent that functionality with the minum development effort ???

Hi,
I have 3 tables that i gather a single field from each and put them into another table.. simple enough you might think
but when i start using a lookup funciton to check if i have already entered an item (this package could be run a number of times) some duplicates slip though, and as i continue to run the pakcage less and less appear, but never reaching 0
very strange..
doing select statements on the target table reveal strange behaviour.. after the first 'iteration' there are only unique entries in the target table (exactly what i want). After the 2nd, 3rd, 4th etc duplicates appear of upper and lower case
i can only assume that there is something wrong with my query,,, but running it in SQL Manager reveals ~40,000 rows no matter how many times i run it...
more magically appear when hte same statement is ran in SSIS!!
I have tried a view, and using test tables (rather the live ones i am working on) and the reuslt is the same...
any help would be muc happreciated
regards
Chris
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,

currently have my website that is functional...but would like to add some navigation to my photos which are displayed using a repeater tied to a SQL database. (live example can be viewed here)
the above link shows a gallery page that displays all the photos within a given shoot (using a querystring to display the unique ID of the photo shoot). When you click on one of the images within the shoot a page called is called displaying the selected photo by passing the shoot ID and the unique ID of the photo itself through a querystring.
I would like to add navigation to the page displaying the photo that would allow the user to go to the next photo, previous photo, first and last phot within the specific SHOOT ID.
FirstNextPreviousLast
I am using a repeater to display the photo with the following sqlDataSource:
<asp:SqlDataSource ID="SqlDataSource1" runat="server" ConnectionString="<%$ ConnectionStrings:Connection %>"SelectCommand="SELECT usr_Photos.*, usr_PhotoShoot.* FROM usr_Photos INNER JOIN usr_PhotoShoot ON usr_Photos.Shoot_ID = usr_PhotoShoot.Shoot_ID WHERE usr_Photos.Photo_ID = @ID AND usr_Photos.Shoot_ID = @Shoot"><SelectParameters><asp:QueryStringParameter DefaultValue="" Name="ID" QueryStringField="ID" /><asp:QueryStringParameter DefaultValue="" Name="Shoot" QueryStringField="Shoot" /></SelectParameters>
</asp:SqlDataSource>
I am having trouble figuring out a way to add the functionality i would need to change photos within the specific photo shoot without having to go back to the gallery page. any help or ideas you could point me in would be great...thanks in advance...

Hello, everyone:
In the BOL about Designing a Backup and Restore Strategy, it is mentioned there is a Base Functionality Script that should be run after SQL Server restored. What is Base Functionality Script? Just DBCC CHECKDB? Anything else?

I am fairly new to MS SQL and an wondering if the following is possible;
Step 1 - person fills out a form on our website and submits it to our SQL DB via a stored procedure
Step 2 - the stored procedure inserts some of this information into a DB table and sends some of the information via the inbuild DBMail in an email.
Firstly, is this possible?
Sencondly, is there a way of encrypting this email before it is sent?
