I am trying to monitor a SQL Server in a domain we have a trust in. When I add the computer to monitor I get the choice of monitoring NT objects (Processor, memory, etc) ,but none of the SQL Objects show up. Any ideas. We are using a domain admin account to try this.
I'm trying to run a test from my test environment which is a non-domain Windows 2000 server to access my domain 2003 with SQL2005. I have install 2005 tools to try to access the SQL server.
- I have try following the KB265808 - no success. - Reading alot of blogs and it seems all are pointing to the same problem. "Remote access" but the settign is enabled.Error Message:
TITLE: Connect to Server ------------------------------
An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server. When connecting to SQL Server 2005, this failure may be caused by the fact that under the default settings SQL Server does not allow remote connections. (provider: Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 - Could not open a connection to SQL Server) (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 53)

Question: Could Windows 2003 security be blocking access? I'm using sa account to access.
Also, sa account does not seems to work for remote access. It is ok when accessing locally.
-A "master domain" AD, a "sub domain" AD, a trust relationship between the two (sub trust master) -A sql server 2005 on a win server 2003 in "sub domain" AD -A linked server to "sub domain" AD -A linked server login using a "sub domain" admin acccount -A view to this linked server -A grant on masterDomain/Domain Users to the database -A grant on subDomain/Domain Users to the database -We want all connections done through "Windows Authentication" not "Database Authentication".
Queries on the view work fine using "sub domain" user accounts. Queries on the view fail using "master domain" user accounts (including master domain admin accounts)
"Msg 7399, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
The OLE DB provider "ADsDSOObject" for linked server "ADSI" reported an error. The provider indicates that the user did not have the permission to perform the operation."
All connections are done through "Windows Authentication" not "Database Authentication".
Can we establish cross domain connectivity with "Windows Authentication" ?
Below are details of the implementation:
SELECT TOP (100) PERCENT * FROM OPENQUERY(ADSI, 'SELECT displayname, givenName, sn, cn (etc...) FROM ''LDAP://OU=PEOPLE,DC=subDomain,DC=com'' WHERE objectCategory = ''Person'' AND objectClass = ''user'' ')
In SQL Server Mngt Studio in Server Objects/Linked Servers/Providers/ ADSI properties security tab I have:
"connections will: <be made using this security context> Remote login:'subDomainAdminAccnt' With password: 'subDomainAdminAccntPassword'
Error: Msg 7399, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
The OLE DB provider "ADsDSOObject" for linked server "ADSI" reported an error. The provider indicates that the user did not have the permission to perform the operation.
Msg 7320, Level 16, State 2, Line 1

We are in plan to build a Monitoring tool using PowerShell and Performance Monitor which could monitor 10 to 20 servers. Do you have any reference of any existing tool using Performance Monitor to monitor the SQL Server and available for free? I didn't want to put some effort, if something is available already.
After using ADMT to migrate the domain user or group into the root domain, when I use enterprise manager to try and change the permissions allocated to that domain user/group, i get the 'Error 15401 NT user or Group not found'.
This is a correct error as the user is now in the root domain, however sql (in sysxlogins) still thinks its in the child domain.
Is there a simpler way, other than collecting the users permissions, deleting the user from SQL then adding back in with the correct domainusername format, then adding the permissions back?
I tried renaming the 'name' in sysxlogins (not recommended) and while that worked, whenever I tried to add the migrated user to another database, the login name was missing and would not resolve.
I believe it is something to do with the SID not matching.
we recently migrated from our in-house domain to the Enterprise domain. Everything went smooth except for the fact that I can no longer accept my dBs using my SA or my domain admin account. There is only 1 account I can get into the management studio with but it has no admin privileges, so I can't make any  password changes or add accounts. I don't have a test environment so kind of hesitant to experiment with our production system.
I do all my monitoring locally for disk space, locks, blocking, I've 10 production servers, We need to centralised the monitoring server so from one server all the monitors can be done. Does anyone has any ideas how memory, cpus consumption, disk space, all alerts, locks, blocking, log space and job completition monitoring can be handled.
Folks! Is it possible to monitor several SQL servers in one window and notify operator about error messages. May be some new software can make it possible? Thank you.
I believe we are reaching some limitations with SQL Server and I have been monitoring certain items in the Performance Monitor such as: pages/sec; Bytes received/sec; Bytes sent/sec; % disk read time; % disk write time; % processor time; Log growths; percent log used; and transactions/sec. I notice quite a few spikes in Bytes sent/sec and when the % disk read time spikes for more than a few seconds, users notice a delay.
My thoughts are that 1: We need more memory on our SQL Server box (we currently have 768 meg, need a faster SQL Server box and need to distribute the load of some databases to another SQL Server; and 2: We also have a bottleneck when users are connecting via Citrix to SQL Server via our Terminal2 server (which has been tracked down to simply a slow Terminal2 box with a slow nic card - This has been confirmed that our Terminal2 is definately taking a toll and will time-out when large queries are executed.)
We also have been monitoring each of the server boxes. Are there any other recommendations for SQL Server Performance monitor that anyone could see which would be good to monitor (there are several things which can be selected to monitor?)
We've also noticed that bound MSAccess forms seem to play a significant role in the long spikes for Bytes sent/sec. I'm assuming this might be normal for bound forms and the slow SQL Server box with limited memory. Unbound MSAccess forms do not seem to present any problem and show as quick spikes for the Performance monitor.
Another problem is that I also can't seem to tie back the Performance monitor spikes with specific transactions in the SQL Profiler. Is there any way to pinpoint a spike in the Performance monitor with a specific transaction other than trying to catch the spike and quickly switching to SQL Profiler?
We are planning on upgrading our SQL Server box and also adding in another SQL Server box to help distribute the load with certain databases. We are also getting a faster box for our Terminal2 (citrix) server as these slow-downs/time-outs do not happen internally or when we use Remote Desktop Connection to connect externally (only when we connect externally via Terminal2).
Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you in advance.
Iam new to Sql server 2000 administration , would need inputs on counters to monitor so that I can do regular health check up of the system.
Environment:
Sql server 2000 SP3 windows 2003 sp1 2GB RAM 2GHZ processor Total size of 23 databases = 7.38GB
Counters currently montioring using the task manager on sqlserv.exe :
1. Mem Usage I assuume amount of RAM is consuming 2. VM size is virtual memory in play 3. Page Pool - Not sure what this is ? assuming paging mechnaism in windows 4. NP pool - Not sure on this 5. I/O reads - reads like select to db 6. I/0 writes - insert and update to DB 7. Page File usage - Not sure on this too, please explain
Any other counters or freeware tools to use please suggest and also please explain the above counters 3,4,7 in detail please or point me to links if possible.
I am currently evaluating Quest (Foglight & Spotlight) vs. BMC (Patrol& DBXray) and I am soliciting feedback from the community on these twoproducts or any others that I should check out. Any success stories,shortcomings or anything else that you may be able to contribute to myProof of Concept? Your insight would be greatly appreciated.RS
My manager has asked me to find a way to monitor the 'up' time of SQL Server. If possible, he would like to be able to do this automatically. Is there a way to monitor when SQL Server is started and when it is stopped? I know that I could look in the error logs, but I would like to do this automatically.
I want to know if there are any tools that will allow a DBA to monitor changes that occur on SQL databases (deletion, addittion or modifications) on any objects, and Sql security.
I have looked at Profiler in SQL and it is very limited and plus it is huge memory hog and causes degradation on your servers.
We've got about fifty MSSQL Servers (7.0 and 2000) in our shop. Can anybody recommend a good tool to monitor all kind of activities and conditions on those servers?
Hi,I am new to SQL Server Administraion, and straight away thereoccured a case in which some users modified the database and I have totrack 'em out something this :-A table was modified on 17 - 03 -2006 and now I want to see whatqueries occured on that day how can I do that! I have seen thetransaction log but it ain't helpful. Do help me out!
is there a tool / feature of sql server 2005 that allows me to see all objects in memory, locks, users logged in at present and anything else i might need to monitor for things like deadlocks or resource intensive sprocs??
Hi, I'm looking for tool that will help me to monitor and analyze SQL server performance including SQL activities and server activities(cpu, memory usage) as well. I appriciate any feedback,
Our shop is expanding use of SQL Server, both 2000 and 2005. We haveLitespeed on some boxes to handle the backup/recovery jobs. Can I askwhat are considered the best tools for monitoring SQL Server, in termsof things like performance monitoring, tuning and auditing if it ispossible to get all of this functionality in one?What do you use and like?Thanks in advance.Gerry
hi guyz i want to integrate Sql Server 2000 with Microsoft Monitoring tool , and wht I exactly want is , I need a report of each users and their internet history. i have an application on asp.net 1.1 in which i need to import data from some source it may be microsoft proxy server or any monitoring tool. 1 of my mate suggested me to use the tool which lies at : Control Panel -> Ad Remove programs -> Ad Remove windows components -> managment and monitoring tool -> Monitoring he was not sure either this tool can be integrate with sql server or not. but i need some data in to my tables, can any1 help me in this regard kindly ask me if there is any confusion u guyz can email me as well ..... do let me know if know 1 find any solution thnx
SQL Stripes is an application that helps you, the SQL Server DBA, having complete control over your various SQL servers. From the high-level of monitoring essential components - to the low-level of analyzing your various databases, tables etc… This is *not* another Query-Analyzer like tool, nor does it intend to be. The idea is that each one of your servers gets a 'Stripe' which contains valuable real-time data on the selected server. SQL Stripes is an intuitive and easy to use application, which is intended to make your DBA life a bit easier.
SQL Stripes is completely free. Please send your feedback/questions/suggestions
We currently use Zabbix to monitor our SQL Servers, generally we use Perf_Counters to gather performance information (CPU Usage, Memory, Blocked process etc.), Zabbix also lets us monitor services as to whether they are up or down. I have searched google looking for any information regarding the monitoring of AlwaysOn/Mirroring within Zabbix and to date ave found nothing. What I am looking to alert on is an indication that Mirroring has stopped/ been interrupted with say something like "Not Synchronized"... Zabbix and monitoring SQL Server 2012 and specifically monitoring AlwaysOn...
Does anyone have any basic, simple scripts of sp's that I can give mycomputer operators to use to monitor for serious conditions on our sqlservers? We are new in the ms-sql arena, a small shop and we cantreally purchase any tools to monitor these servers, but we need somebasic checks that we can use to make sure a server is performing in areasonable fashion, no blocks, cpu<xx%, memory not pegged, IO working,etc...and we need to be able to do this without bugging ourprogrammers every time we are wondering why things are slowwnig down.We are a split shop between as400s and sql servers, and our operationsstaff has no problem performing this type of duty on the 400s. I thinksince the sql servers are so easy to deploy into production, the ideaof how to monitor these things health got lost in the shuffle andallowing the programmers to do it just serves to destabilize ourenvironment.Please help! Our shop has turned to chaos since we went live withMSSQL centric applications and everytime one programmer "resolves anissue" some other programmers application starts to act up.
I have a IIS server on "A" Domain. My application is hosted on on a machine which is under that domain.
I have a DB server, SQL server 2000 on B Domain. The server is a named instance of SQL Server 2000. I have a default SQL Server 7.0 on that same machine.
For the application i am trying to connect from the IIS to database server, but i am unable to connect to the named instance, but i can connect to the default 7.0 instance.
The connection string used for the application is as follows: oConn.open "Driver={SQL Server};Server=server_nameinstance_name;Database= db_name;uid=user_name;pwd=password;"
I am getting SQL Server does not exists error messege on page...
Please help, me if any one knows how to connect to the database server which is on different domain and is a named instance using the connection string in ASP page..
Hi all,Have a situation that my company has never run across before. Clientis running NT4 for the domain server, using terminal services 2000 andrunning an application with a SQL Server backend and they areexperiencing locking problems. Once one person gets locked out theneveryone trying to access that tables is also locked out as a result.It is not specific to a certain User, or module within theapplication. It's not a specific time of the day (like when a backupwould be running) and sometimes it's in the middle of the night whenthere are actually less Users on the system.We have 500 customers using this application. Most are using SQLServer backend, alot of the newer customers are using TerminalServices, and the number of Users is not accessive as compared to ourother customers. THe only difference is that I do not specificallyknow of another client with an NT4 Domain server in the mix.We actually switched to SQL Server as the recommended back end due tolocking issues using SQLBase because SQL Server is row locking andSQLBase is page locking. Since making this change we have stoppedseeing the locking for years until now. Is this a SQLServer issue orissue with the NT Domain server?Anyone have any ideas???ThanksA
I'm setting up a simple SSRS implementation for a non-profit organization, using two servers hosted at a data center. The first server has SQL Server Standard Edition and Reporting Services installed. I've designed and deployed a number of useful reports on this server.
I was hoping to isolate this first server by installing IIS and SSRS on the second server, have users browse from the Internet to that second server (over SSL, of course), and have all reports served up from databases (and, presumably, the report server database) on the first server.
During the installation of SSRS on the second server, however, I'm being prompted to specify the service account. According to the help text:
"Reporting Services. Service accounts are used to configure a report server database connection. Choose a domain user account if you want to connect to a report server database on a remote SQL Server instance. If you are using a local report server database, you can use a domain user account or Local System to run the service."
I believe I want to configure SSRS to connect to a report server database on a remote SQL Server instance; therefore, it appears that I need to enter a domain user account. The only problem is, neither server belongs to a domain; they are members of a simple two-server workgroup.
Does SSRS, configured to connect to a report server database on a remote SQL Server instance, require a domain? Does what I'm hoping to accomplish require a domain? Creating a two-server domain seems like overkill for this implementation, doesn't it?
I appreciate any comments and suggestions. Thanks!
I am receiving the following error when attempting to access reporting services... to sum things up real nice and tidy-
I get three login prompts - then the access denied response. It is almost as if it is unable to authenticate the user... anyway... here's the actual error response, I'd really appreciate any input/insight/resolution.

Please help me to find the solution for following problem. I have my web server (with .NET 2.0 Framework) in one Domain(DMS01) where i have deployed my application (developed in ASP.NET 2.0). I have to access the database (SQL Server 2000) that belongs to another Domain(DMS02). How could i connect to the database that belongs to domain DMS02 from Web Application belonging to domain DMS01. Thanks in advanced for help.
I've got a website with authentication mode "forms". Now I need access to the database to authenticate the user. The SQL Server is located in another domain than IIS.I don't know how to establish a trusted connection with the SQL Server. How can I establish this?
I would like to know what will happen if the domain of a server is changed. Does this effect SQL 7.0? Does this effect any current jobs running on the server?
