Password Out Of Synch Between W2K && Local SQL Server On My Worksation
Jul 20, 2005
Hi,
I had this problem in version 7 and dont remneber How I solved it!!
I have installed a local SQL Server (2000 aka version 8) on my
Worksation (W2K), I have picked NT authuntication.
Everything was fine untill I changed my password. Now SQL server can
not start because it fails to login. The old password is embedded
somwhere and I cant egt to it!!!
My workstation is on a network, so the password is my network
password.
Everythinng is MS on our network.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

We would like to use the SQL Server 2005 Express at our customers.
But now we have to meet the local security settings of the PC.
What is happening with the database users password (e.g. sa) when the "Maximum password age" in the "local security settings" for the password policy is to >0 (e.g. 30 days)?
Because this cause a frequently change of the passwords at the customers!!!!!!

Hi ... I am converting SqlServer 2000 databases to SqlServer 2005. It is working great for the most part.
The issue I am having is that a user with a schema that owns objects is established in the database and no user is defined in the instance logins. I can see where if I add the instance login then the Principal_id does not match. Cannot drop the user/schema as there are referenced objects.
I got around this in SqlServer 2000 by updating the IDs to match but now they are views and updating is not allowed.
Is there a straightforward way to resynch the database user to a newly created login?
Thanks,
John

We are trying to set up Web Synchronization, but we keep getting the error "IIS ws not found on the web server. Please specify a computer name that has IIS installed".
Our Distributor/Publisher are on one box, IIS on aother box. Both boxes are in the same domain (test environment), and both boxes are being logged into with a domain account.
We can get this to work in another similar environment so we don't know why this one isn't working. Is it permission issues?
Thanks...

Numerous articles (e.g., http://www.microsoft.com/sql/techinfo/administration/2000/security/securingsqlserver.asp, even one that I wrote, http://www.dbazine.com/sql/sql-articles/cook12) state that to secure SQL Server, the SQL Server services should not run as Local System. That advice is useful only if making the change is not overly disruptive or is even allowable. My two most recent clients have absolutely rigid password expiration policies that require all account passwords to be changed at regular intervals. Realistically, that makes a compelling case for running as Local System.

I have a package protected by a password - I am already unhappy that to get it to use the configuration file to change connection strings for the production servers I have had to hardcode the password into the config file - very insecure!
However, the package now deploys correctly to the production server and will run from there OK, but NOT if scheduled as a SQL Server Agent Job. Thus is because however often I edit the command line to include the password after the DECRYPT switch (which it has prompted me for when I click on the command line tab), the Job Step will not retain it.
If I open it up after I have edited it and closed it, the password has disappeared.
I know that if I run dtexec plus the code in the Command Line tab (with the password), the package runs OK.
This is driving me insane!
I have read all the other posts and so I tried replacing the SSIS package step with a CmdExec step and pasting that code into there - then I get an OLEDB error..
The code I use is:
DTEXEC /SQL "ImportRateMonitoringTables" /SERVER servername /DECRYPT password /CONFIGFILE "D:Microsoft SQL ServerSSISDeploymentsRateMonitoringImportTasksDeploymentImportRateMonitoringTables_Production.dtsConfig" /MAXCONCURRENT " -1 " /CHECKPOINTING OFF /REPORTING E
and I get
SSIS Error Code DTS_E_OLEDBERROR. An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x8000FFFF
although the same code executes perfectly from a command prompt.
Please does anyone have any experience with a similar problem and if so, how did you get round it?
Thank you

We have a 64-bit VM server running SQL Server 2005. The SQL Server on this particular VM server has 6 local instances installed. On the Management Studio logon screen I can type the full name of the local instance and connect to it, however if I press the drop down in the Server name field, choose Browse and select the Local Servers tab there is nothing listed under Database Engines.
Any idea why the 6 local instances don't show up under Database Engines? This is preventing me from installing a vendor application because their installer looks for local SQL Server instances on this server, but if SQL Server won't even show the local instances then the installer doesn't see them either.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Craig

Hello,
I would like to request you to kindly point me to a location where I may obtain more ideas/suggetions/details on how synchronization may be performed in a real world scenario ?
MS has been promoting smart clients and offline availability, but I cant seem to find any material that outlines some ideas/techniques/pointers as to how this may be acheived sans SQL Server replication
Essentially, what I'm looking for is someting that would guide a not-so-solid-with-databases person like me through how synchronization (sans sql replication engine) may be implemented - any watchouts etc..
Regards,
Avinash

I was hoping someone could help me with a question. I have a server that has a table with 5.6 million rows of data. I want to use DTS to transfer all the rows in the table from one SQL server to another via DTS, which I have got to work correctly. The problem I'm having is when I run the DTS job the 2nd time, it does all 5.6 million rows again and not just the deltas since the last DTS job. Is there anyway to use DTS to transfer the deltas (ex: 1000 rows since the last DTS job) from server 1 to server 2 ?
Thank you.

Hi all,
Heres the deal -
I have several remote users - all running the same program, with a local copy of MSDE...
I would like to setup a master server at my office that will act as a repository for the data that is generated at the remote sites.
I would like the remote users to establish a connection with the server (tcp/ip) and upload all the data they have entered into the local database.
They do not need to download any data - this is accomplished through the web services of SQLXML -
they just need to upload all the data they have, without destroying the data from before.
I have some concerns on the auto-inc that is used in the tables now and how they will react to each other in the master database...
thanks for any help
take care
tony

Hi all, here are my goals: Have the same DB on two different stand-alone computers, and keep them up-to-date from each other.
Basically a user would input to a DB for a week. Then every week or two, update the other stand alone DB with the new input. The DB would be exactly the same.
What are my options for this? I'd like it as easy as possible! Are there any software packages that deal with this type of transfer, etc.? Thank you!

Hi all,
We are going to have several dozen servers around the country- each with a mirror copy of the initial database (blank) loaded upon them.
The data will be entered at each station, and then once a month, the systems will dial into the 'net and -
this is where i am getting stuck -
we would like the data from the remote areas to update the data in the master database -
What would be the best solution to update the data from the remote station into the master database???
thanks

we have a merg replication running in three regions UK,USA and AU
my question is in one of our test environment testers managed to get a few tables out of synch while the replication is out.
we have re-established the replication since then and it worked fine untill they try to update records from those out of synch tables. as usual we get conflicts.
we don't really know how many tables are out of synch either. we have about 500 tables.
is there a way to synch tables from with in the merge replication??

Hi Everyone
As most of you do, I am eagerly awaiting the ability to synchronize my sql mobile database on the hand held to a local sql express database on my local machine
I know users in Microsoft have pointed out to us that we are getting things for free.
At the same time, Microsoft is getting our patience for free and at a cost to us developers.
Its nearly April and as one article says Microsoft will release a fix for this inadequacy
Microsoft...we are happy to pay for this. Palm offers it so what is the big deal. Its not the
reinvention of the wheel. We would have liked that instead of the server synchronization
that bypasses the local sql express database
I as many others are happy to pay
Please let us know when you will be addressing this problem.
I would appreciate the feedback and frustration of other developers. Maybe this will show them we are really running out of time with our clients
Regards
Touraj

Hello,I'm relatively new to the database world so please forgive me inadvance for my ignorance. I have recently been tasked at my job withfinding a tool that will perform the following tasks: 1) extractschemas from a db, 2) produce a difference report between schemas fromtwo databases, and 3) synchronize two schemas. The purpose is forproduct upgrades during which an existing database schema will need tobe synchronized with a baseline schema.The tool must support the following database vendors (versions givenin parenthesis): Oracle (8i/9i), Sybase (12.x), Informix (9.x), MSS2000, and IBM DB2 (7/8).I have spent the last several days downloading and researching avariety of tools such as Aqua Data Studio, DbVisualizer, DBExplorer,DBDiff, and AdeptSQL. I thought it would be a good idea to post amessage to a few database newsgroups and ask for any recommendationsdatabase developers may have.So if anyone has any recommendations on such a tool or softwarepackage, I would greatly appreciate any information.Thanks!Chad Smith

Being a very novice SQL Server administrator, I need to ask the experts a question.
How do I go about moving a database from 1 drive to another? The source drive (C is local to the server, but the target drive (E is on a Storage Area Network (SAN), although it is still a local drive for the server. I want to move the database from C: to E:. Can someone provide me with instructions?
Thanks,

Dear all,
I am running into a null reference exception on replication with SQL Server 2005 Compact Edition. The problem occurs at repl.synchronize(). Even though the statement is inside a try-catch block, the exception is not caught, and the application quits.
Device O/S: Windows Mobile 5.0 v 5.1.195 Build 14957.2.3.1
Hardware: Dell Axim X51v, Intel PXA270
Database: SQL 2005 SP2 (no post SP2-patches)
Exception shows as "an unexpected error has occured in AppName.exe. Select Quit and then restart this program, or select Details for more information." Details:
.. at NullReferenceException at AppName.Form1.Synch()
.. at .... (various lines)
.. at AppName.Form1.Main()
The application is based on the tutorial (Creating a Mobile Application with SQL Server Compact Edition) at http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms171908.aspx.
The application was successfully working initially but then stopped working on replication after some minor modifications which were not related to the replication code, e.g. adding some buttons to the form.
Three things are puzzling me here..
1. The fact that this is a NullReferenceException and not a SqlCeException
2. Why the try-catch block doesn't work
3. Why the exception occurs
Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong here?
Any help would be appreciated.
Code sample below:
Sub Synch()
Try
LogMsg("Deleting db...")
DeleteDB()
LogMsg("Initializing repl...")
Dim repl As New SqlCeReplication
repl.InternetUrl = http://192.168.0.100/SQLMobile/sqlcesa30.dll
repl.Publisher = "TRKSRV"
repl.PublisherDatabase = "trk_db"
repl.PublisherSecurityMode = SecurityType.NTAuthentication
repl.Publication = "Trk"
repl.Subscriber = "Trk"
repl.SubscriberConnectionString = "Data Source=""Program FilesTrk2007DefectTrk.sdf"";Max Database Size=128;Default Lock Escalation =100;"
LogMsg("Adding subscription...")
repl.AddSubscription(AddOption.CreateDatabase)
LogMsg("Synch...")
repl.Synchronize()
LogMsg("Cleanup...")
repl = Nothing
Catch err As SqlCeException
MessageBox.Show(err.ToString & " " & err.HResult & " " & err.NativeError & " " & err.Message & " " & err.InnerException.ToString)
Catch err2 As Exception
MessageBox.Show(err2.ToString & " " & err2.Message.ToString & " " & err2.InnerException.ToString)
End Try
End Sub

I have an internal Project Management and Scheduling app that I wrote internally for my company. It was written to use MySQL running on a Debian server, but I am going to move it to SQL Server 2000 and integrate it with our Accounting software. The part I am having trouble with is the user login portion. I previously used this:
PHP Code:
$sql = "SELECT * FROM users WHERE username = "$username" AND user_password = password("$password")";
Apparently the password() function is not available when accessing SQL Server via ODBC. Is there an equivalent function I could use isntead so the passwords arent plaintext in the database? I only have 15 people using the system so a blank pwd reset wouldn't be too much trouble.

Greetings!
I would like to create a database for keeping track of payroll data for employees where the supervisors (job coaches) on our workshop floor can use a Pocket PC device to record the hourly employee data on the fly. Then at the end of the day, the supervisor can place the device in a cradle of some sort and synch the newly entered data into the main database.
I'm guessing that SQL Server Compact edition would be perfect for this type of task? Is that correct? Can someone give me recommendations on how to go about setting this up? What should I use as the main database? SQL Server? Access? Any advice is appreciated!

I am receiving the following error message when attempting to create a new SQL Authenticated login id.
Password validation failed. The password does not meet the requirements of the password filter DLL. (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 15119)
I have four servers all running SQL Server 2005 SP2 on Windows 2003 Ent. SP1. Of the four servers, only one received the above error message using the same TSQL below.
CREATE LOGIN TEST_LOGIN WITH PASSWORD = 'pvif9dal' MUST_CHANGE, CHECK_EXPIRATION = ON
All four servers are in the same domain, which if I understand correctly, the password policies are therefore inherited at the OS level by the domain. The password being used is within the password policies of the domain.
Any ideas as to a root cause?

Hi Everyone
I am at the stage of architecting my solution
My goal is to develop the system on a windows application and pda
There is a central server which will create a publication called inventory
The laptops which host the windows application will be subscribers to the central server using merge replication
The client now wants the PDA using SQL Mobile to synchronize with the local subscirber database on the laptop using active sync. They dont want to do it via WIFI to the IIS Server at the central server
I have been reading for days and I am still unsure whether this is possible to do.
I know Appforge provide a conduit for palm to access synchronization but not local sql databases
I would appreciate your help immensley

On the login prompt for Report Server, there is a checkbox option to "Remember my Password." I check this, login successfully... but when returning to the Report Server, I am again prompted for the password, although the user name is saved. No matter how many times I do this, the password will not save in IE7. I have tried this on 3 different computers with IE7. In IE 6, I do not even get the checkbox as an option, just the user name/password prompt. In Firefox, the password saves fine. Any ideas what would be causing this?
Thanks,

we have a table in an oracle database containing security information that is updated several times a day. the network connection into that oracle database is not always reliable. we would like to keep a copy of that table in a sql2005 database. the table will need to be refreshed 1/hr. it is a small table so performance won't be an issue.
would ssis be ideal for setting something like this up? i have never created an ssis package before (i'm an oracle dba crossing over). any pointers on how best to set this up?
thanks!

Hi,
I've been trying to fix this error for two days! and I really need the advice of the experts please!
Computer XP Professional Service Pack2, SQL Server 2005 and Visual Studio 2005 (both Standard Edition)
ConnectionString:
<connectionStrings>
<add name="MyConnectionDB" connectionString="Data Source=(MyServerSqlServer2005);Initial Catalog=MyDB;User ID=sa;Password=PasswordforSA" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />
</connectionStrings>
C# code
string myConnectionString = ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["MyConnectionDB"].ConnectionString;
SqlConnection myConnection = new SqlConnection(myConnectionString);
myConnection.Open();
Here I get the error: {"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: SQL Network Interfaces, error: 26 - Error Locating Server/Instance Specified)"}
What I checked so far:
ServerName and Instance Name OK!
Database, Username and password OK!
SQL Server 2005 Surface Are Configuration - Remote connections using both TCP/IP and Pipe Names OK!
SQL Configuration Manager - Protocolos Enabled (TCP/IP, Pipes, shared) OK!
SQL Server Browse running and active OK!
Am I missing something? I never had this problem with SQL Server 2000 and Visual Studio 2003.
Thanks in advance for any help or suggestion you can give me.

Hi All, first post.
I have done a bit of searching around and cant find a clear answer to this question.
Current Setup
Desktop application (c#) that connects to a SQL Server 2005 express database on the same local network as the application (currently 3 users)
It is only a very small company and has just taken on their first remote worker, but expects to take on another 6-8 over the next few months. They have asked for the database to be moved online.
The application was written in such a way that everything has been done using no stored procs, or views, it is all native SQL.
This will be my first DB hosted online and before I go ahead and do anything I just wanted to make sure what I have to do is correct, sorry if this is a very basic question, although I have been programming for a long time, I have never had the chance to do any online databases before.
Will this work.
1.Find a SQL Server 2005 Hosting company.
2.Move the database to the server.
3.Setup the users permissions.
3.Alter the connection string in the application to point to the new location.
So the only thing that would change would be a new connection string in the application preferences?
Or am I living in a dream world, because nothing is ever that simple.
One thing I am worried about is the security/visiblity of the database and data as it travels from the server to the client and back.
Thanks for any advise you can give.
Mark
