Sa Password Recommended For End User?
Aug 12, 2007
Hi,
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!

My 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'

Hi guys,
My users are unable to view reports on server A. When trying to access it shows up as users have no access to the reports.
We have another server B which also deploys the same set of reports,to the same set of users as Server A.Users are able to view the reports on Server B.
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.

I 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

I have just installed MSDE (first time ever).
I am now trying to work with it (first time ever)
Most tools I now find I need to use, ask simple questions like:
Name of Server:
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.
GO ME ????????
PS - 'sa' and blank does not cut it at all.

Can the user change their password in Enterprise Manager? When they follow the documentation, this does not seem to work
unless they are sa: (I know about sp_password....we are trying to find a GUI method for typical user.)
Expand a server group; then expand a server.
Expand Security; then click Logins.
In the details pane, right-click the login to modify, and then click Properties.
In Password, on the General tab, enter a new password.
Confirm the password.

Is there a T-SQL command or script that would help me in retrieving a lost SQL User password? I have just migrated a SQL server instances from one server to another, and in order to modify the SSIS packages, I need the password for the user that it uses. I would much rather know the existing password rather than change it.

SQL Server 2005 Express will not allow me to change the password for my login user. I tried deleting the user and re-creating the user. Another password is being put in although the password I put in was accepted. I even test to see what would happen if I left the password blank. It got accepted. But when I look at the password for my login user again, a different and much longer password was put in. I even tried this T-SQL statement:
CREATE LOGIN <loginname> WITH PASSWORD='<passwordname>', CHECK_EXPIRATION = OFF, CHECK_POLICY = OFF
I am out of ideals. Is this a bug?

Earlier one of my team member has created a user login and password but forgot the password after few days and now we need to know the password of that login. Some of the application are using this login so we can delete and create a new login with the same name hence is there any possibility or script to find out the password of the existing login.
Note: The login is not 'sa'

I have written a simple SQL Server 2005 package to pull some data from Oracle (using ODBC) and pumping it into SQL Server. When I run it from the server in debug mode in VS it works fine. When I schedule the job it errors out with "ora-01005: null password given; logon denied." The password is there. Has anyone experienced this? Is there a security setting somewhere preventing me from saving passwords? Is there a work around? Thanks.

Hello, everyone:
I know it is a simple question. I am writing a query to import a table (MyTable) from an Access Database (MyDatabase.mdb). MyDatabase.mdb is in C: in local. This is the query from BOL.
SELECT a.*
FROM OPENROWSET('Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0', 'c:MyDatabase.mdb';'admin';'mypwd', MyTable) AS a
By BOL, admin and mypwd should be user_ID and password. But I am doing testing in local, and don't set user_ID and password. How to handle two things.
Thanks

I'm about to start using Integration Services in Mgmt Studio 2005.
But, when I try to register a server for Integration Services,
the option for choosing between Windows authentication and SQL Server
authentication is greyed out, and it's set to Windows.
My domain user is automatically filled in, but greyed out. I can't enter
my password since this field is also greyed out.
Is this some installation problem? (Connection to a Database Engine works fine.)

I have question regarding updating user password in sql 2005.
Is there a way to update user password in tsql without specify the old password?
In sql 2000, since we are still able to mess with the data in system table, I can use update statement to update the password field in the login table with encrypted data. But since sql 2005 does not allow users to mess with system tables, I am wondering if there are any ways to update user password without specifying the old password when I use "sa" user to login.
Thank you.
