Need A Sysadmin Login
Oct 20, 2006We€™re running mixed mode authentication on our SQL Servers. To make the server €œsafer€? builtinadmininstrators no longer have sysadmin role on the sql server. If there is only one login with sysadmin role, and we lose track of the password, is there any way to recover it? How could we reset the password or create a new sa account with a new password? This situation has not occurred, but I€™m worried about how to recover from it should it occur. This question relates to SQL 2000 and SQL 2005.

Non SysAdmin Accounts Cannot Login
Jun 12, 2007I have a SQL2005 in a cluster environment, for some reason the only way that user accounts can login to either the database or SSMS is to grant them the SysAdmin role. This access is a little to high for my liking and am wondering if anyone else has come across this before.
Thank you
Login Problem By Not Being In Sysadmin Group
Jul 23, 2007Hi All
I experience a very strange login problem:
I create standard security login, let say test1/test1 with a default db test and assign it sysadmin group.
All is working well.
The moment remove sysadmin group from this login, i start getting errors:
Login failed for user 'test1'
... when I login from remote server. If I login from the same host - it continues with no problem.
When I go to sql server configuration manager, I see next:
sql native client configuration(32bit):
shared memeory enabled
tcp/ip enabled
named pipes enabled
VIA disabled
The same settings from sql server 2005 network configuration / protocols for mssqlserver
sql native client configuration / client protocols
sql 2005 surface area configuration / remote connections is configured:
local and remote connections (checked), using both tcp/ip and named pipes.
Does anybody have a clue?

Question to those who may have had this same error- it seems that I am not able to delete some of the reports that I have created. This just started happening recently and according to our system admin nothing has changed as far as permissions are concernced. We installed SP2 the other day and I was wondering if this could have anything to do with the error message below
by the way I am a member of the sysadmin group
thanks in advance

Lost Sysadmin, But I Still Have It???
Jul 23, 2005SQL Server 2000 SP5a on Windows 2000 SP4Friday morning we discovered that we no longer have sysadminprivileges. We were able to query the syslogins table. In the outputwe can clearly see that our accounts do have the sysadmin privileges,since there is a 1 in that column. But yet we do not have sysadminprivs!?!?!?!??!?!? Puzzling.We are not able to get into the SA account, since no one knows thepassword. But we are in BUILTIN/Administrators, and we have many SQLServer authenticated accounts with sysadmin privs. But yet none ofthem seem to have the privilege.Saturday I was able to restart the instance (actually, several timesnow), but that does not seem to resolve the problem. I have alsorebooted the server, which does not solve the problem.The next option would be to restore Master from a few days ago, butsince I have no privileges I cant even do that!!!Help? Ideas?

Can I Hide Data From A SysAdmin??
Dec 7, 2001Is is possible to hide "salary" or other sensitive data from a person who is a Sys-Admin. My belief is that there is no way. Please correct me.....
Assumptions: SQL Service account has Local Admin privelege.
Sysadmin can do anything on local machine, including run scripts adding themselves to any default/instance of SQL on the machine.
Please direct me to any other source of information for this topic.

SECURITY - Sysadmin Role

Our SQL2000 server now allows all member of the Windows 2000 local administrators group log in with SysAdmin role.
I only want couple of people with sysadmin role. What should I do
to prevent that. I was told once that I should delete the
BUILTINAdministrator ID and manually add each window login ID
to SQL server. Am I on the right track?
Thank you for your help.

Sysadmin Role Problem
Oct 5, 2007We set up a SQL Server 2005 box. When we set it up we did it with windows authentication, so the sa account is disabled. After everything was set up we were going to do some locking down. We added a domain account and gave it sysadmin rights. Next we went in to the sysadmin role and deleted the builtin/administrators group. This deleted all users except for the sa account. The sa account is disabled and we don't have a password for it. Not sure what to do next. Is there anyway to salvage this without have to completely reinstall? I can't enable sa because it says I don't have the rights, I can't add anyone to the sysadmin role because I don't have the rights. Why did it delete my domain account in the first place?

Jul 20, 2005Platform: Win2000 SP3, SQL 7.00 - 7.00.1063I have a SQL-authenticated user with the following permissions:"Process Administrators" server role"db_owner" and "TargetServersRole" for msdb database"db_owner" for master database.The problem is that when this user opens up any job (i.e. owned by anyuser) in the SQL Server Agent, and goes to the Notifications tab, thefirst three alerts (Email, Page and Net send) are greyed out, i.e.these cannot be set.The other options are available (Write to Windows application eventlog, Automatically delete job).The only way I can achieve this is to give this user the "SystemAdministrators" server role, i.e. sa.But this of course gives absolutely full access, which I don't want.Is there a way for a user to see/change Notifications of jobs whichonly he owns?

Sysadmin Role - Easy Question
May 17, 2007Alright, this should be a simple question, but I don't know the answer.
I created a group in our Active Directory, and added myself and another member of my team to the group. I then went into SQL 2005 management studio and added the group as a new login, and gave the group the sysadmin role.
The idea is for us to be able to connect with Windows Security to do administrative tasks on the server versus logging in with SA.
The problem, is that we cannot connect. It does not allow us to login. Do I have to do mappings for each database too?

Should A Sysadmin Have Local Admin Rights On Server?
Apr 27, 2006Hi,
The company I work for outsources all its non-development IT. So all windows servers are administered by an outside company. Lately we have purchased SQL Server 2005, along with a dedicated Windows Server 2003 server. I am the sole administrator of this SQL Server, and so have sysadmin rights. However because the outside company is responsible for all windows servers, they are very reluctant to grant me local administrator rights on the server. This has been causing problems, partly because I have to go through them for many simple requests (such as moving database files, or changing SQL Server configuration files), and partly because certain functionality doesn't seem to work for non-administrators (such as the use of Database Mail and full access to Reporting Services).
I want to challenge the decision and gain local admin rights to the server. Would anyone have further reasons why a sysadmin should also have local admin rights? Is this common practice, or are sysadmins often denied admin access to the server?
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
Thanks, Matt
