i have a sql cluster setup, and need to change the user account that sqlserver starts with....any ideas? i screwed up and left it using localsystem account and now i can`t get sqlmail to work. i`m trying to avoid having to create the cluster again. any info appreciated.......jim jones
View 1 RepliesThis is the 1st time we are building a active/passive cluster with 1 node each. we usually install default instance and setup domain account as service account which will have an spn delegated. Now for active/passive cluster is it ok to use same domain account as service account for both clusters with both creating as default instance again as the windows was built as SERVER1 and SERVER2.

I want to just make a simple backup.
first of all when i choose the pick a folder to backup, no mapped drives I make are even THERE.
I realize this is probably related to the account being used, okay I thought let me change the user account to a network admin account... I still cannot see the drive.
Can't this thing just accept whatever I tell it to access like any other program??
You would think they would at least keep the standard Open File dialog so we can use the network browser or something...
I've changed my accounts all to NETWORK SERVICE, then LOCAL SYSTEM, then a DOMAIN ADMIN...
I can't get this to work correctly on this freshly installed server... can someone please help?
I'm at the point where I don't care if i have to just re-install the damn thing...
Just someone please tell me what to pick for the accounts.
Bonus: I have this same issue with reporting services and Services for Unix NFS Mapped drives.
How can I map a drive with NETWORK SERVICE Credentials so it finds the datasource path?
I've only been able to do something like this with psexec and Local System.
When logged in as Domain Admin it will show a disconnected network drive that you cant get rid of but system account can use.
set up asp .net user account on sql server 2005Question:
I've read the instructions in this article: http://www.netomatix.com/Development/aspnetuserpermissions.aspxBut do not know how to do this:You can grant 'Network Service' or 'ASPNET' user accounts permissions to connect to database.Please provide example on how to do this, thanks!
Do we still need the below service accounts in SQL 2008+ version even if we have proper SQL service accounts added in the logins?
[NT AUTHORITYSYSTEM]
[NT ServiceMSSQLSERVER]
[NT SERVICEReportServer]
[NT SERVICESQLSERVERAGENT]
[NT SERVICESQLWriter]
[NT SERVICEWinmgmt]
I am currently hardening our SQL 2012 (with AlwaysOn Availability Groups) environment. Both the SQL service and agent account are using service accounts (only domain user). SQL browser service is disabled. Permissions to all roles are handled by using domain groups.
Currently a lot of (default) NT Service accounts are listed (some with sysadmin privileges). Are there accounts that can be removed?
I would like to enter info into the startup service account so that the MS
SQL Server Agent will run under this account. Then I can run jobs.
However, I don't know why the "startup service account" info is
greyed out, which prevents me from entering this information.
Any help would be appreciated!!
Hi,
The SQL Service Manager is not running automatically despite that fact the the STartup type for the following service IS set to Automatic:
C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQLBinnsqlservr.exe -sMSSQLSERVER
When I start my PC and look at the taskbar (or is it better called the status bar), the service Manager appears with a big WHITE circle and when I get the tooltip it says:
"Unknown - \ - MSSQLServer"
Can someone please help me out.

In the SP1 update of SSIS there was a call from the SSIS service that would attempt to validate itself against the http://crl.microsoft.com web site. If the SSIS service didn't have access to the internet then it would timeout and not start the service. In our company we have our development systems behind a firewall which only allows for limited internet access due to it being a development system.
Does the installation of SP2 remove this authentication restriction?

Can anyone tell me the purpose to using service accounts in SQL Server rather than just having the services start as a system account.

Hello all,
I just inherited a SQL Server that was set up by a non-DBA. It`s running NT 4.0 and SQL Server 6.50 - 6.50.201 (the vendor hasn`t certified the product on SP4). I am trying to change the SQL Executive Service to use a non-system logon account. The account that I want to use is running SQL Executive on 9 other servers.
I went into Usrmgr and added the account to the administrators group. Made sure that it has rights to:
log on as a service, log on as a batch job, increase quotas, act as part of the operating system, replace a process level token.
When I try to change to that id in services, I get the following error:
"cannot set the startup parameters for SQL Executive service. Error 1057 occurred. The account name is invalid or does not exist."
Looking in Technet, I found that if "log on as a service" isn`t set you could get this message but I`ve check/re-checked, had someone else check and it`s set.
Any help would be appreciated!
Hello, everyone:
I want to change Startup Service Account of an instance on SQL Server 2000 from System Account to a Domain Account from Enterprise Manager. What impact maybe bring up on database and frond end?
Thanks

I just had a question,
Is it possible to have a different account for the accoutn that starts the MSSQLServer service and the account tied to the Mail profile on the server?
We had created an account to start the SQLServer but we are in a network where we have a 1 way trust with another domain, we trust them but they dont trust us, and our exchange is on their domain.
WE currently use Windows authentication so our account used to start SQL Server would not be trusted by exchange.
Our thoughts on a solution were to have them create a service account that we would have access to the mailbox and would also start the SQL Server but thats it.
I was just wondering if anyone else had any other suggestions.
Thanks.
Hi Everyone. I have 150 SQL servers (2000 MSDE). They all run using various domain accounts as their service logins. Is there an automated way to find out those service logins? Maybe a query I could run on each server? I really do not want to go to each of those 150 servers and look at their properties manualy! :S Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you.

Trying to install Backup Exec 12 which comes bundled with SQL Server 2005 Express.

SQL fails to install, and the following is in the SQL summary-log:

Since the installation of SQL is bundled with the Backup Exec installation, there is no(?) possibility for me to specify usernames for the different services. The Backup Exec installation is initiated under the Domain Admin's login.
I suspect the problem occurs because of the OS not being English, but I am not sure. Have installed earlier versions of Backup Exec with SQL Server 2005 Express, on Swedish Windows Server 2003, before without issues.
No help at Veritas/Symantec's homepage.
Grateful for any help.

On a fairly new install of SQL 2005 64-bit, upon bootup the Active Directory Helper Serivice is aborting with the error 3221225572 (0XC0000064). When an attempt is made to start the service manually the following error appears: "Windows could not start teh SQL Server Active Directory Helper on Local Computer. For more infromation, review the System Event Log. If this is a non-Microsoft service, contact the service vendor, and refer to the service-specific error code - 1073741724."
The service is strating up under the network services account, which I am suspicous may be a problem. Currently the SQL server is running under SQL 2005 SP2 with no post service pack hotfixes. Do you have any advice on how to get the service to launch without errors?
I have been reading through many postings here, through the MS SQL Server Unleashed book by SAMS, the MS SQL Tech article "Failover clustering for Microsoft SQL Server 2005 and SQL Server 2005 Analysis Services" for installing a brand new SQL 2005 2 node cluster.
So far I have not found the definitive answer that I am looking for and that is, what rights does the SQL service account need to work properly? One article states that it needs both Domain Admin permissions and local admin permissions (and this is a domain account by the way) and then another article states that it only needs domain users group permissions and the least amount of privledges possible.
Can anyone please tell me what is correct for installation and running the server? The more I read about this the more confused I get.
Please be patient as I am brand new to SQL.
Thank you very much!
My 3rd party backup product uses a non-service account login to perform tasks. If the account that it uses has been granted Perform Volume Maintenance tasks on the server, will it use IFI when restoring? Or do I need to have it use the service account login specifically to benefit from that?

Installed sql server 2012 enterprise. Runs with the built in account fine.
I tried entering a domain account to run as the service account from sql configuration it fails with the error "the specified network password is not correct".
I tried from services.msc and entered successfully but when I try to restart it fails that the log in credentials are wrong.
the domain account and password I entered are just fine. What's it I should do or missing?
Hi,
Re: SQL Server 2005
We have defined a local administrator to be the SQL Server and SQL Server Agent services user, and is also the job step owner for some SSIS packages I am running.
My question is, isn't by default a local administrator ALSO granted sysadmin in SQL Server? According to this link, it seems to imply this:
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms143504.aspx
However, I am having some permissions problems with the local adminstrator account (i.e. SQL Server agent account) when it runs the job. The error is that it doesn't have execute permissions on sp_dts_addlogentry.
How can this be, if it's granted sysadmin?
Thanks
In SQL 2005, is this an acceptable (prefered) way to give an application account EXEC permissions for sprocs and funcs in a specific database?
CREATE ROLE db_executor
GRANT EXECUTE TO db_executor
And then of course assign my user to this role on the database level.
I am trying to get away from adding exec to every sproc "manually" and then of course also having to add exec for any new sprocs that get added into the database.
Hi,
how do you create a username and password for a database in SQL.

Hi There
I am doing an unattended upgrade of Sql Express with Advanced Services SP1.
Before the upgrade the services run under domain accounts.
I use the following command :
start /wait setup UPGRADE=SQL_Engine INSTANCENAME=MSSQLSERVER SQLACCOUNT=DOMAINUser SQLPASSWORD=p@ssw0rd ADDLOCAL=Client_Components,SQL_SSMSEE /qn
However after the ugrade the service accounts are running under local system.
Documentation is unclear, i find the following:
; The services for SQL Server and Analysis Server are set auto start. To use the *ACCOUNT settings
; make sure to specify the DOMAIN, e.g. SQLACCOUNT=DOMAINNAMEACCOUNT
; NOTE: When installing SQL_Engine 3 accounts are REQUIRED: SQLACCOUNT, AGTACCOUNT and SQLBROWSERACCOUNT.
; SQLACCOUNT Examples:
; SQLACCOUNT=<domainuser>
; SQLACCOUNT="NT AUTHORITYSYSTEM"
; SQLACCOUNT="NT AUTHORITYNETWORK SERVICE"
; SQLACCOUNT="NT AUTHORITYLOCAL SERVICE"
To my knowledge the <> is not required.
Can someone please help as i cannot get the services accounts to run under a domain user after upgrade.
Thanx
My company doesn't allow using Local Service / Network Service accounts for SQL Server. So I created domain service accounts. Can multiple SQL Server installations use the same domain service accounts ?
View 4 Replies View RelatedIs it possible to rename a SQL Login or User account?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am copying a database to an alternate server by restoring a full backup onto the new server. However, whether I create the logins prior to the restoration or not the user accounts in the database no longer map to logins in the master.
Unfortunately it is not simply a case of dropping the acounts as they own objects in the database.
My best solution to date has been to use the sp_addalias to alias logins of the same name to the original user. However this is a far from ideal situation as one cannot readily tell that the logins are aliased and there must be an additional overhead in doing this.
Ok. So we just moved over one DB from our original server to another server. The DB copied over fine.
Our next step is trying to see if there is a way to move accounts. Is that possible?
We have about 40 accounts (using SQL authentication) on the original server. Is there a way to move or copy those accounts to the new SQL server that is holding that same DB?
Haven't found anything in the Enterprise manager, so im thinking it will be something to do in the SQL analyzer.
My lack of knowledge in SQL is not helping me much here.
I appreciate the help.
