I have a situation where the database owner was [NT AUTHORITYSYSTEM], and it was changed to "sa."
Now, it must be changed back to [NT AUTHORITYSYSTEM] to prove/disprove an issue. This login is in the SecurityLogins area, and is a System Administrator. The server is SQL 2000.
Yet, I cannot seem to find suitable syntax to do this... is this possible?
We're using Mirroring in our production environment, and we're pretty happy with it.
After failing over, we find that permissions are not correct; especially if the mirror has become the primary and the primary has become the mirror. In particular, we find that we'll need to use sp_changedbowner to reset the ownership of the database.
Why is this? We'd like fail over to just work, and bring the database back up without user intervention.
My platform is NT2000 and my database runs on a SqlServer 2000.I have a database where some of the user tables are owned by theuser dbo. I would like to change the user from dbo to anotheraccount. When I execute the sp_changedbowner to change the table ownerI get the following error message:Msg 15110, Level 16, State 1, Proceduresp_changedbowner, Line 47 The proposed new database owner is already auser in the database.Does anyone know why we get this error message ? What is the bestapproachto fix or get around this problem ? I have seen several posts on thissubjectin this news group that address this issue but I am not sure whichapproachis the recommended or the safest approach.Thanks,Sam
In order to totally limit access to the SQL Server to my login, I'm dropping all other logins except sa. However, I tried to apply a Drop Login against the NT AuthoritySystem login and it was not accepted.
Can anybody tell me what the NT AuthoritySystem is used for? Could a hacker or someone without SQL Server Authentication use this login to access the SQL Server?
I have a SP, which send Emails, when I execute by myself, all emails are sent. Now, I configured a Schedule Job, and when it runs did not send anything. I was looking for, and I found when Job is running the sender_request_user is NT AUTHORITYSYSTEM, but when I execute by my self the sender_request_user is sa, is there any way to change this to sa User or something else what i can do?
Does anybody know what the "NT AUTHORITYSYSTEM" login create during a SQL Server 2005 instillation is used for?
Does this login pose a security risk, and can it be removed safely? It seems to me as if it is similar to the "BultinAdministrator" login which we remove from our production servers?
I am having trouble installing sql express from a command line on an XP o/s other than English, I know French and German have the problem I suspect this is caused by setting the sql account to ="NT AUTHORITYSYSTEM" my guess is that this is a localized string.
I get the following error
SQL Server Setup could not validate the service accounts. Either the service accounts have not been provided for all of the services being installed, or the specified username or password is incorrect. For each service, specify a valid username, password, and domain, or specify a built-in system account.
