SQL Server And Domain Controller

May 19, 2008

I have 2 questions, the first one is more of a DC/AD issue, but I don't think there is a forum for that. But that question leads directly into my other question which involves SQL Server. I hope someone can give me some feedback.

We have a small network of about 12 users, and we are running SBS 2003 as our DC and Exchange server. We are going to start doing a lot of heavy lifting with data so we got another box to run Server 2003 Standard and SQL Server 2005 Standard. But now it's been suggested that we also install a second DC on the new SQL box. I am opposed because a DC should be on it's own box, and the SQL Server will need all of the available resources. I don't really think we need a second domain controller anyway, considering we have such a small office and good backups.

So my questions are: does anyone have an opinion as to whether or not we really need a second domain controller in our 12 person Small Business Server environment. I'm thinking there wouldn't be a whole lot of benefit. We certainly don't need it to share the load, and a SBS dc cannot give up it's FSMO roles so i don't see how a second dc would be able to properly serve as a failover should the first one go down.

My second question is: what kind of impact on the SQL Server would there be by installing a DC? I know it's not Microsoft recommended to have them on the same box.


Thanks,
-Rick

SQL Server On Windows 2003 Domain Controller

May 17, 2007

I am currently runinng Sql Server 2000 on a Windows 2003 domain controller. I cannot access my local sql server using windows authentication. All i receive is a cannot generate SSPI context error. I understand this is probably related to a security policy issue on the domain controller. Also Sqlserveragent service will not remain running and shutdowns immediately after it is started. This also produces an SSPI context error in the error log. If anyone can help with my configuartion of windows server 2003 such that sql server will recognize a valid sysadmin role for my domain admin account it would be greatly appreciated.

Can I Install SQL Server Reporting Services On A Domain Controller

Feb 18, 2004

I've just got RS Enterprise Edition.
Installed it in a Test Server, ok.
Installed it in a DEV server, having some errors.


My DEV server is an "ALL in 1" server, which is also a Domian Controller.
While Test Server is not a DC.



The installation was succesful but when I open RS Manager thru the web, it gives me a ASP.NET error:


Access to the path "D:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQLReporting ServicesReportManagerin" is denied.
Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code.

Exception Details: System.UnauthorizedAccessException: Access to the path "D:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQLReporting ServicesReportManagerin" is denied.

ASP.NET is not authorized to access the requested resource. Consider granting access rights to the resource to the ASP.NET request identity. ASP.NET has a base process identity (typically {MACHINE}ASPNET on IIS 5 or Network Service on IIS 6) that is used if the application is not impersonating. If the application is impersonating via <identity impersonate="true"/>, the identity will be the anonymous user (typically IUSR_MACHINENAME) or the authenticated request user.

To grant ASP.NET write access to a file, right-click the file in Explorer, choose "Properties" and select the Security tab. Click "Add" to add the appropriate user or group. Highlight the ASP.NET account, and check the boxes for the desired access.




I tried doing everything I can possible think of from the error message advice, including adding rights to ASPNET user from ISS to that particular folder...no success.




What I'm suspecting is I can't install RS in a DC box. But I can't find this info anyway in the web.

Anyone can point me to the correct direction or any advice?

Installing On A Domain Controller

Nov 8, 2006

One last question ( for today)...

The recomindation to not install SQL express on a Domain Controller. Is there a specific technical reason or is it just the general don't use the DC has a Terminal server / sql server / application server line of thought?

The reason I ask is we have been using SQL 2000 on a W2k3 server configured as a DC as well as for Terminal Services. (yes I am aware of the security risks) but in a small network with 5 or less ft clients and 30 thin, I can't justify a seperate DC and App server.

Installing SQL Express 2K5 On A Domain Controller?

Dec 15, 2006

I want to install SQL Express 2K5 on a lightly used second Windows 2003 SP1 DC. I know about the warning not to do this type of install. However, the group is small and their budget does not allow for another server just for one application. With that being said, the error message I keep getting is "can't create local groups......" (I know that you do not have local groups with AD). So, is there a work around to this issue or can someone point me in the right direction as how to install on a domain controller? Thanks in advance for your time!!!

MSDE 2000 On A Domain Controller

My question is, I am assuming that if installing SQL Express on a Domain Controller is not recommended, that installing the MSDE 2000 on a Domain Controller is not recommended either?

Sql Express Groups On A Domain Controller

Jan 15, 2007

Hi

I have a customer that was using Sql 2005 Express on a W2k3 server. They then decided to turn the server in to a second domain controller. When they did this Sql Express stopped working, I'm guess because the account the service was running as nolonger existed (Network Service account). Because of this they demoted it back to just a member server, but still the sql express service wouldn't start.

When I look at their server now I have noticed that the Sql2005$ accounts Sql express created during installation are all missing.

What I want to do now is set the Sql express setvice to use a domain account (using the SqlServer configuration manager), but I'm concerned that because the sql2005$ groups are missing things won't run as expected.

Should I be worried about these accounts?

What would happen when it becomes a domain controller anyway, won't these local account disappear and hence my new sqlexpress service account wouldn't have permission to the sql server data folders??

Thanks for your help

SSIS On The Domain Controller: Connection Failed

Oct 24, 2007

SQL Server 2005 SP2, installed as a default instance at the domain controller.
SSIS connection failed with the message
Failed to retrieve data for this request. (Microsoft.SqlServer.SmoEnum)
The RPC server is unavailable.
No firewalls, client and server in the same subnet, ping is ok.
I suspect the issue is similar to described here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/940232
I've given the user all the rights to DCOM MsDTSServer, but I cannot include him to the local "Distributed COM users" group because the domain controller doesn't have local group at all.
I have included the user into the "domain admins" group, after that user got a connection. But this is not good, you know what I mean. Does any other solution exists, without reinstallation SQL Server to another server or giving the administrator's rights to the user?
Thank you.

Ado Sql Authentication Connections Affected By Loss Of Domain Controller

Jul 20, 2005

I have observed that a temporary loss of a domain controller can causeproblems creating new ado connections between a client machine runningado and a separate sql server machine that are members of the domain.I understand why this happens when creating connections with windowsauthentication. What is a mystery is that it also sometimes effectsnew connections that use "sql authentication". Below is a descriptionof my test scenario.a. Setup 3 machines.i. one domain controller machine. windows 2000 based. I have triedboth a regular domain setup and a domain setup in compatibility mode.ii. one sql server machine that is a member of the domain. windows2000.iii. one client machine running an ado test program that communicateswith the sql server machine. I have tried both 2000 and xp.b. Start your test ado program and create a connection.c. Fire a query.d. It should work.e. Unplug the network cord on the domain controller.f. Create a new connection and fire a new connection about a minute orso after.g. It should work. Apparently the client caches account informationfrom the domain controller for a certain amount of time. The timeseems to be shorter by default in xp than 2000.h. Wait 20 minutes or more.i. Create another new connection. You will notice a timeout error.If your using windows authentication the timeout will happen 100% ofthe time. That is to be expected. If your using sql authenticationthe timeout seems to happen about 50% of the time. I can't explain itother than some strange Microsoft bug. I speculate that it may besome bug with the way ado caches connections. Perhaps a previouslysetup windows authentication connection gets reused by a request for asql authentication connection. However I haven't been able to proveit.Any insight you can offer would be appreciated. I also have a testprogram you can use to reproduce this behavior if you are interested.Thanks,Frank

SQL 2012 :: System Cannot Contact A Domain Controller To Service Authentication Request

Dec 16, 2013

I am attempting to set up an always on cluster on VMware for testing. setting up everything through the Failover cluster is fine, the trouble comes when I try to set up the AlwaysOn availability group. Whenever I attempt to specify a network location I receive the following error: Operating System Error 1265(The system cannot contact a domain controller to service the authentication request..).

I looked up this error and most sites point towards a Windows 8 homegroup issue. Since this is a on a domain, I don't think it is relevant. I also added the service accounts from server A to Server B and visa versa. I even added the computer objects to its opposite partner..I have attempted to use "Join Only" and do a manual copy.

User On Trusted Domain Does Have Permission To Access Linked Server On AD Deployed In Another Domain

Sep 28, 2007

Hi,
We have the followoing:

-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'' ')

EXEC sp_addlinkedsrvlogin @rmtsrvname ='ADSI', @useself='false',

Problems With Change Sql Permissions After Migrating Domain User/group Accounts Into Root Domain

Apr 5, 2007

I have a root domain and child domain.



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.



Any ideas on how to fix this ?

SQL Security :: Domain Migration Altered SA Or Domain Admin Access To DBs

Jun 19, 2015

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.

MS SQL 2000 And Raid Controller

Feb 12, 2006

I heard that is said that MSQ SQL 2000 doesn't work correctly with raid (for example raid 5)
I have my application in 2 companies. The first one with not a raid controller (even though the computer has a raid controller) executes a backup when no users are online in more than 8 minuter and the file of the database backup is 3,5 GB. The memory of the computer is 2GB.
In the other company when more than 20 users work in the database with a raid controller the backup is occured in 2,6 minutes and the database backup file is more than 6 GB. The memory of this computer is 4 GB.
What is your opinion?
Is this rumor true?
Do you suggest I should apply raid 5 to the first server?

External Drive, SCSI, Same Controller...

Feb 14, 2006

I have a guy who wants me to move his databases to an external drive. Hardware is my major weakness and I usually think I am McGyver when I can swap out a RAM board in my home PC. Whenever guys in the office start talking hardware, I go hide in the bathroom.

I know I have read that this is a very bad idea in some book and a few message board threads. This guy is going to use SCSI and it is going to be attached to the same controller as his other disks. I know he should have a battery backup for the drive especially if it employs write caching and that it should be formatted to NTFS and not FAT32.

I googled echnettedBOLedMSDNed this for 2 hours yesterday because I remember reading something about disc controllers and external drives and SQL Server being a recipe for disaster but I could not find anything to back me up.

Any words of wisdom or advice?

How do I tellif the PERC cards are mirrored? Or does one PERC card run 4 internaldrives and other card run raid5? How much performance boost do youget from using write-back? What are the recommended settings for readcache (readahead, adaptive etc)? Can you post some reference websites? Thanks P

The current setup has two completly seperate paths. hbaon node 1 to controller A on DS400 and hba on node 2 to controller B.If i take a controller offline, failover works fine to jumo to othercontroller and throw all resources to it's node but if i shutdown anode- the cluster loses all attached storage and DS400 is unaware toswitch ownership to other controller.Is there a way to us mscs without dual path from each node?anotherwords... if either node or controller fails on a single path, wewant the other path to become active.our main goal is to use sql server 2005 clustering on the cluster.everything checks out perfect if i only use one controller on the DS400for both nodes but this brings us back to another single point offailure.I saw that Qlogic has MPIO drivers on thir website for the DS400 but itseems as though they are for 32bit systems and the install errors outwith:C:Driversmpio1.0.8.4 (w32)>install.exe -iPre-Installing the Multi-Path Adapter Filter...SuccessInstalling the Multi-Path Bus Driver...Failure.

Hanging Or Lockup Issue With SQL Server And Terminal Services 2000 On NT 4 Domain Server

Jul 20, 2005

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
