SQL Server 2005 SP2, Service Password Gets Forgotten
Mar 8, 2007Hi All
I am running SQL Server 2005 SP2 on Windows Server 2003 R2 machines.
I am running the SQL Server service under a domain account. This account has the common sense options ticked/unticked.. i.e. password never expires, don't force user to change password at first login.
I find the SQL Server will start fine under this account.. and run continuously without a problem. Then when the machine is reboot, the SQL Server service has not started. So I go to the "Services" app in the administrative tools and click Start. I immediately get the message that "The service could not start due to a logon failure".
The username still appears to be there, and the password appears to be there too but I obviously cannot tell what it is as its masked. The password has not been changed. But for some reason the authentication details are not correct - so when I re-enter them and click Apply it says "account has been granted Log On As A Service right" and I can click Start and SQL server will start up.
Next reboot... and it happens again. Any ideas why this would be? This occurred when we were running SQL Server 2005 with no SP, and with SP1 too. It happens on all our machines, both x86 and x64.

Jun 29, 20153rd party company set up SQL 2008 R2 SP1(awhile ago, years), they disabled SA no other logon was created with Admin rights, Database is Mixed Mode, never had a DBA. the database is from a Transactional system. Now comes me. I need to set up backups, maintenance etc..
I have been provided System AdminLocal Admin rights on the Server. The Server has been set up like a Domain Controller. I have tried all of the command line options that I know and I can find. I have not been able to get any to work, they all fail login to SQL. Before I take the route of reinstalling SQL on the server I want to make sure I haven't missed any thing, especially since this is a 100% production environment with 3rd party processes and applications attached that are not documented or supported. (nightmare)
I would prefer a cmdline or PowerShell script (ps2).I figure that the holiday is coming up so whatever I will end up needing to do I will be able to complete over the holiday weekend when it is down.
One set I tried as "run as Admin"
SQLServr.Exe –m
SQLCMD –S <Server_NameInstance_Name>
CREATE LOGIN ‘<Login_Name>’ with PASSWORD=’<Password>’
GO
SP_ADDSRVROLEMEMBER '<Login_Name>','SYSADMIN'
I should point out the rest of our environments are SQL 2012

Mar 2, 2007Our company website runs off of Microsoft SQL Server. Someone tried changing the 'administrative' password but the way that they did it locks us out of the database.
Under Enterprise Manager there is a Security group, underneath here is a login. The person reset the password here on the login id that is the DBO for our website's database. Underneath the database in Enterprise Manager the dbo uses this login id. Where else does the password need to get reset in order for that login id to access the database? We cannot set it back to the previous password because it is unknown.
When we go to our website we get the following error:
Error Executing Database Query.

Oct 22, 2014I have an SSIS package built by another developer, and now that I'm running it under my login the passwords won't save. The solution and packages are setup with ProtectionLevel EncryptSensitiveWithUserKey, but how do I get the User Key to reset so I can now save passwords? I can re-enter them, but whenever I enter hte password and test it then click OK it still has the red arrow next to the connection as if there's an error. I can create new connections and those passwords save fine, but with 40-50 items in this package I hate the thought of having to go into each and change the connection.
I tried changing the package and solution to DontSaveSensitive then rebuilding and closing then reopening, I hoped there was some option to reset the User Key just as if I created the solution. If this option doesn't exist why?

DB Engine :: Extract All Privileges And User Password For A User In DDL Format For Server?
Jul 12, 2010My goal is to write a DR plan where i am restoring all user databases onto a diffrent server in a event of hardware failure. I was trying to figure out a way to extract DDL of user accounts and their permissions on all user databases so i can simplify my DR documentation.
This is the plan I came up with...to restore all system and user dbs on a different Physical SQLServer.
1. build named instance $PROD
2. restore master database
- startup sqlserver in single user mode -m or DAC sqlcmd -S ServerName -U sa -P<xxx> –A
net stop MSSQLSERVER$PROD
net start MSSQLSERVER$PROD -m
- restore database master from disk e:master.bak with replace;
3. start sqlserver normally
4. stop SQLServer agent
5. restore msdb
-restore database msdb disk e:msdb.bak with replace;
6. restart SQLServer
7. Restore User Databases.
8. Run Sp_change_users_login for all users
-Sp_Change_users_logins 'auto_fix','username'

The Forgotten Index
Mar 11, 2008Ok, here is my situation:
I have a table-valued function that, when moved from SQL2000 to SQL2005, is having some performance issues. I have found an appropriate index that fixes the performance issues on a table queried within the function.
For the first day, everything was running wonderfully. Then, I get in the next morning and have a message from a developer saying that performance is bad again. I double check and sure enough, the function is timing out. As a quick test, I dropped and recreated the index and performance was back to normal (~1 sec). The following day, the same thing happened; the execution plan was completely skipping the index I had created. So, I checked any column statistics that may be getting updated that would cause issues and there were none that had been updated for about a week. I tried issuing the DBCC dropcleanbuffers and DBCC freeproccache commands and still, the engine would not recognize the index as the most efficient plan. Also, I have recreated this problem in a test database, so there is no nightly processing (or anyone at all for that matter) hitting the database.
The only thing, to date, that I have found that works is dropping and recreating the index. This is obviously not an acceptable solution. I was curious if anyone here had ever come across this before and if so, what did you do to fix the issue?
Thank you very much in advance!
Prompt User For User Name And Password

Both server B & A are used for deploying reports that are created on another development server.I am very new to the concepts of IIS and report administration.Could someone tell me what I can start checking on? What are the settings that I can compare on both server ?
If I am not very clear on the problem explained above.Do let me know I would be glad to explain futher.
User Id And Password
Jan 20, 2004I am havining problems connecting to my database in some projects.
I installed MSDE and didn't get prompted for any passwords. When I Initialize the connection and use: Integrated Security=aspi, the connection works ok for some projects but not for others, it doesn't seem to work with a server-side script block or from a sql dattabase that I created in the server explorer in visual studio VB.NET. When I test the dattabase connection in server explorer it works fine.
Is this intergrate securtiy supposed to work only with applications that connect to sample databases like the pubs database, and also not in server-side script?
How do I create a username and password for a default instance of MSDE?
I have found setup instruction on upgrading MSDE to create a username and password but I am not upgrading.
If I do create a username and password will initializing the connection with: Intergrated Security = aspi, still work?
I would apprecate any help I could get as I am a newbee.
Many thanks,
Glen Conaway

Most tools I now find I need to use, ask simple questions like:

User Name:
Password:
I know the name of the server - fantastic
I did not specify a user name or password when installing -
WHAT DOES IT WANT ????
ie, How do you specify the user name and password AFTER installing the server.

Sa Password Recommended For End User?
Aug 12, 2007Hi,
I have a database app that deploys with sql 2005 express to each end-user. I would like to install sql 2005 express using Windows Authentication only. In this case, should I bother to set an sa password? And if I do set the sa password, how would I go about making sure that the sa password is different for every installation of sql express? Would it be recommended to save every end-user's sa password (possibly tens of thousands of passwords) just in case sql maintenance needs to be done on their computer? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
