Local System Account And Mirroring.
Sep 26, 2007
Hi,
Is it possible to set up database mirroring between two servers that have SQL Service running under Local system? I tried to setup mirroring between two servers running under Local system but was running into the following error:
Server or Network address cannot be reached or does not exist.
What are the pre-requisites for setting up database mirroring if the service runs under Local system? Do I have to configure certificates? Is that mandatory? Can anyone please let me know. Any other gotchas?
Thanks

During install of SQL Server 2005, we can of course use a domain account or the built-in system account for running the services. I lean toward domain for obvious reaons but would like to know a +/- to each option and why I'd choose one over the other and what consequences or limitations one may encounter if I choose one over the other.

Just spotted that some cowboys install a Live DB Server using Local System Account for the SQL Server Service.
Gonna change it to a Domain Admin Account tonight.
Anyone got any advice or warnings about any "gotchas" I might run in to during a job like this?

is there any way to do it.
If not is there any document stating this.

Hi folks.
When installing SQLServer 2005 Express, I use the following command line:
cmdline = " /qb ADDLOCAL=SQL_Engine,SQL_Data_Files SECURITYMODE=SQL INSTANCENAME=MyServer SAPWD=MyPwd DISABLENETWORKPROTOCOLS=0 SQLAUTOSTART=1 requiresmsiengine=1"
I noticed that when installing on a Windows XP machine, the installation results in a SQLServer instance which is configured with Built-in account = Network Service. However, with the same command line used on Windows 2000 machines, the configuration winds up being Built-in account = Local System. My understanding is that the default configuration is supposed to be Local System.
What can I do to ensure that the instance configuration is always Local System during the silent installation? This is required otherwise, under the Network Service configuration, it creates a messy situation to attach DBs.
Thanks!
Mike

I attempted to setup database mirroring using a High Availability scenario but when I installed SQL is chose to use local system accounts for all the services. Consequently, I stubled upon a microsoft article explaining how to setup mirroring using local system accounts and certificate authentication but I am stil not able to get it to work. When I try ti initiate the mirror from the mirror server I receive an error stating "Neither the partner nor the witness server instance for database "EDENLive" is available. Reissue the command when at least one of the instances becomes available." I have checked all the endpoints and everything seems to be in order. I even checked to make sure that each server was listening on the appropriate ports and I AM able to telnet to the ports. Please help!

Hi All,
We are using the Windows Task Scheduler as a substitute for the SQL Server Agent, which isn't available in the Express edition. The scheduled task just calls a batch file, which in turn, runs a stored procedure using osql with the -E option for a Trusted Connection.
SQL Server Express has been installed using the defaults, which means the service is running in the "NT AUTHORITYNETWORK SERVICE" account. The scheduled task we create is set to run using the "NT AUTHORITYSYSTEM" account.
Now we find that on Windows Vista (tested using Ultimate Edition) that the scheduled task fails to run the stored procedure until the machine is rebooted the first time after installing SQL Server Express. When I say "fail", I mean that the stored procedure isn't executed. The scheduled task however completes and reports no errors. On Windows XP, we do not run into this problem so I suspect it has something to do with the UAC in Vista?
We further found that after installing SQL Server Express and creating the scheduled task in the "NT AUTHORITYNETWORK SERVICE" account, the scheduled task (and stored procedure) runs fine WITHOUT requiring a reboot.
Can anyone explain why a reboot is needed to get SQL Server Express to run the scheduled task correctly under Windows Vista and the SYSTEM account?
Any help or thoughts greatly appreciated.

Hi there,BOL notes that in order for replication agents to run properly, theSQLServerAgent must run as a domain account which has privledges to loginto the other machines involved in replication (under "SecurityConsiderations" and elsewhere). This makes sense; however, I waswondering if there were any repercussions to using duplicate localaccounts to establish replication where a domain was not available.Anotherwords, create a local windows account "johndoe" on both machines(with the same password), grant that account access to SQL Server onboth machines, and then have SQL Server Agent run as "johndoe" on bothmachines. I do not feel this is an ideal solution but I havecircumstances under which I may not have a domain available; mypreliminary tests seem to work.Also, are there any similar considerations regarding the MSSQLSERVERservice, or can I always leave that as local system?Dave

I have been running a script in SQL Server 2000 as sa also as a Active Directory user who has administrator rights (I tested both approaches SQL Server then Windows Authentication) in Query Analyser which grants execute rights to the stored procedures within the database instance and Query Analyser does not give any errors when I run the script. I have made sure that each transaction has a go after it. I then return to Enterprise Manager, check the rights (I apply them to roles so that when we create another SQL Server user we just grant him/her rights to the role) and discover that the role has not been granted the rights. I seems to be occurring only with 2 of the procedures. Is there a known bug that might be causing this?
yours sincerely

they fail with this error.
" Error opening datafile: Access is denied. Error source: Microsoft Data Transformation Services Flat File Rowset Provider"
The data has change access to the System account under the NT security.
Thank you in advanced.

As the title suggests we are looking to change the service account of a SQL mirror implementation. I will be using the same account on all 3 servers involved in the configuration.
I know each server requires the account of the other two adding but as this will be the same account I assume this doesn't apply?
Also for mirrored databases already set up would I need to reconfigure the security for each one?
Is there anything I am missing?

How can I tell how SQL Agent is configured to start up with? Is it with the local system account or domain account?

whats the simplest way to migrate a user account from a master development SQL server to local development sql servers and also to a production server?
we can recreate the SQL account everywhere, but if we take a backup from one machine and restore to another, we loose access because the accounts arent truly the same account.

I'm trying to do an unattended install of SQL Express 2005 SP2, and specify that the service runs under the Local Service account. Prior versions of SQL Express worked fine.
With SQL Express 2005 SP2, however, the install fails on XP Pro SP2. It *does* work on Winows 2003 Server.
Here's the command line I'm using:
SQLEXPR.EXE /QB ADDLOCAL=ALL INSTANCENAME=FOO SECURITYMODE=SQL SAPWD=BAR SQLACCOUNT="NT AUTHORITYLOCAL SERVICE"
It fails at the end of the install, saying it can't start the service. If I use "NETWORK SERVICE", it works fine, but that's more privileges than I want the service to have. Is there something else on the command line that I can try to get it to work?
Is this even supported?

Hi all,
I've recently installed SQL-Server 2005 on our production server (win server r2, .net framework 2.0, 3.0 etc ..).
In order to improve the security mechanism I'm allowing only windows authentication (not mixed mode).
If each site and the sql-process is given a specific user account, could it have some bad performance issues ?
Security-wise, which is better ?
Few things to point out:
1. The SQL process was assigned with a local user account (i.e : [machine name]SqlServerUser) and not using NT AUTHORITYNETWORK_SERVICE.
2. Every ASP.Net site on the server assigned with a local account (i.e : [machine name]SomeSiteUser) through the IIS's Directory Security tab and not using IUSR_[machine name].
3. Each "Site User" has the appropriate database authorization in sql.
Any given help will be appreciated, thanks.

I have a big trouble with update from MS SQL 2000 to SQL 2005. Because my aplication runs as System Service, I use system account for login to SQL server. At the SQL 2000 I created SQL account like "DOMAINPC_NAME$" and service started at PC_NAME was able to logon on the SQL2000 server. But on the SQL2005 it DOESN'T work. Does anybody have some idea how to create system account on SQL2005 to log on SQL server from another computer under system service account? Thanks for your help.

my local instance of reporting services is named and therefore I think causing me a problem when I issue the following command to set up an unattended account...
rsconfig -s localhostinstance name -e -u domain nameuser name -p password
the message I keep getting is "No Reporting Services instance found on local host.". I tried a couple of things including replacement of the word localhost with my computer name but to no avail. I tried single and double quotes around the -s parameter but no success.
Anybody know how to do this?

Hi
We are using in our company an ERP system called iScala.
This software is using SQL server as DBMS.
We would like to use the SQL mirroring feature from SQL 2005.
The software is using the SQL server instance name to connect to databases and when the Main SQL server fails the application can't connect to the Mirror instance.
Unfortunatelly we can't change the connection string (the software is provided by another company).
Do you have a solution?
Thanks

When doing a unattended install of Microsoft SQL Server Express, I have a problem specifing the service to installed to be run under the as local system account.
I'm using: SQLACCOUNT & SQLPASSWORD parameters but it just won't work.
As default SQL Server is installed using the NETWORK SERVICE account, this causes the database to be read-only. What I want is to specifiy in the script that the service should run under the LOCAL SYSTEM account instead. This must also be OS-language independent.
I've tried:
SQLACCOUNT=NT AUTHORITYSYSTEM
SQLACCOUNT=NT AUTHORITYLOCAL SYSTEM
SQLACCOUNT=NT AUTHORITYLOCAL SERVICE
SQLACCOUNT=SYSTEM
SQLACCOUNT=BUILT-INSYSTEM
etc.
and even some different SID as:
S-1-5-18
S-1-5-19
All with no password with the SQLPASSWORD parameter:
SQLPASSWORD=
I still getting the same error while validating the service account.
Is there someone else who knows what I'm doing wrong?
Best regards,
Mattias

I have just finished configuring my first test mirrored environment (High safety mode). I setup the database engine service accounts on each of the servers with domainuser. I inherited a production mirrored environment set up by someone else. On the production servers the database engine service account is NT Authorityuser a local account. I am trying to practice installing Windows updates within a mirrored environment and I not sure how to proceed when the service account is NT Authority user account. should I change the service account to a domainuser?

Hi:
A very stupid question but want to see if i have an answer.
Is it possible to run SQL Server Service and SQL Server Agent Service under local system(not Domain account) without granting SA Permissions on the server. is it ever possible to run by just granting some registry permissions and not making BUILTINAdministrators a SA on the server.
Thx

I have an application I developled for a shopping cart function using Wrox ASP.NET book as a guide. I have everything working great on my local system using SQL 2005 Express. When I move the app to an IIS 6.0 Web Server with SQL 2005 Express installed I get the following error.
Line 103: Public Overridable Property Cart() As Wrox.Commerce.ShoppingCartLine 104: GetLine 105: Return CType(Me.GetPropertyValue("Cart"),Wrox.Commerce.ShoppingCart)Line 106: End GetLine 107: Set
It has some comments up top about not being able to establish a connection to the SQL Express Database. I have made the changes to allow TCP/IP and Named-Pipes
The App has to be connecting to the database because it displays grid views during the order process.
The Database is located in the App Data folder
IIS is set to Integrated Authentication and configured as a Web Application.
Can someone please tell me what is wrong.
