remove guest user in msdb

In according of what I have found on various document I removed to user 'guest' from the msdb database. But now the SQL_Server_Agent don't start.
I run this service from a normal user NT account. In the log error of SQL_Server_agent i found this items:
1) [000] Unable to connect to server '(local)'; SQLServerAgent cannot start
2) [298] SQLServer Error: 4060, Impossibile aprire il database richiesto nell'account di accesso 'msdb'. L'accesso avrX esito negativo. [SQLSTATE 42000]
The only solution I have found is to add the NT account to the sysadmin role but I don't want to do this!
Anyone can help me ?
I run SQL 2K SP3 on WIN2K Server SP4
Thanks
The login that SQL Agent uses MUST be a SQL Server Admin account or the
agent will not start.
So first do that.
Then if it still does not start, add the login as a valid user to the MSDB
database, then see.

I haven't understand this.
So I have another question: in your your opinion while is the best security choice ?
1) Start the SQL_SERVER_AGENT with an NT administrator account, that have sysamind role
2) Assing the sysadmin role to an NT normal user account and use this to start the SQL_SERVER_AGENT.
The Microsoft security baseline analizer suggest that no have more than 2 sysadmin user.

remove additional sql server named instance

Hi
I need to remove an additional named instance of sql server. It has nothing running against it and no user databases have been created on this instance
I intend to use ADD/REMOVE Programs but I am nervous that I will be prompted with a whole series of "such and such file is being used by another program do you still wish to remove" and because we are running an actual default instance used as a live production server (with two mission critical apps) I need to know what the best way to remove the named instance and are there any risks/precautions I need to make before it's removed
Another thing I noticed was that the default instance is 39MB and the named instance is 107MB. Any reason why the big difference in size
Thanks!!
ShelleyAdd/remove programs is the correct way to remove the unnecessary named
instance...
interesting question about the size. I assume you're getting that number
from add/remove? I've never really looked at that info since I would
normally get my sizing info dirrectly from SQL. I would guess that the
difference might come from space used in system databases such as master and
msdb but I really am just guessing. You might look at the size differences
between the system db's to see if that accounts for it...

I wasn't around for the installation of named instance and when I try to start up the service for the this instance I receive the message: Remove SQL Server Instance: Could not start the MSSQL$MCDERMOTT service on the local computer. Error 3: The system could not find the path specified.
So I'm not sure where the 107MB is located either. When I run the add/remove will I be prompted about the deletion of shared files. Should I say 'No' to deleting all of them? I do not want anything to impact our default production instance.
Thanks!

Remove "guest" account in SQL Server 2000

Is there any reason not to drop the "guest" account in a user database?
Thanks!Hi
If you wnat that anyone who has LOGIN access to the server access your db
as well , so do not remove it.
Why not having that every Login has a specific User account within the
database(s) that they need access?

Can you elaborate a little bit about disabling 'guest' user? If I create a
new database the 'guest' is there.

The guest user exists in all databases but is disabled by default in all
user databases. It can simply be ignored unless it needs to be enabled for
special reasons.
Note that dropping the guest user does not physically drop the user from the
database but only disables it. Only users who are explicitly granted
database access can access a user database when guest is disabled.
Similarly, adding the guest user enables it. Any login can access a
database with an enabled guest user. If the login was not explicitly
granted access, the guest user security context is used (which normally has
minimal public permissions).
Hope this helps.

Remotely Connect to MSDE

Hi
I just installed MSDE over my Windows 2003 box and facing an small problem.
I installed it with SQL security mode and also set a password for user "sa".
Everything looks just fine using "osql" as it uses local address.
But I can't connect to my server from another computer using VS.NET Server Explorer.
It seems as MSDE is set to reject connections from outside by default.
My question is how to enable it so I can connect using my "sa" account.
Appreciate your help in advance.OK. are you trying to connect by IP address or server name? do you have a firewall installed?|||Since I am connecting from outside of the server, I am using IP address.
And also I don't have any firewall installed.|||at a guess I'd say you have only windows authentication enabled. not 100% sure how to change that in MSDE, but I'll scout around and see.

Remote User

Hi, im new to here and SQL server.

I am building a program in vb.net 2005 as a booking system using SQL server as backend. I have just finally managed to get SQL server working on the server, DIY Windows XP Server, but I cannot make remote logins. I have my client computers connected through a workground called JNKVPN. I can connect to all the client computers on the network through the workgroup computers menu off network places. I want to add a remote user account to SQL Server management studio express but none of the client computers are listed as domains.

Is there any way I can get them listed. I have been getting very fustrated with this and i need to have the program i am writing completed by 28th Sept 2007 so this is really delaying me substatially.

Thanks in advance for reply's

Hi,

As you said your machines are not on domain network, so you can not add the windows users to your server, rather you may add sql server login(s) in this case. Add the machine(s) to doamains so that they appears or else you need to create a windows login on your sql server machine with the same user id /password as they are on your workgroup machine. I.E. the name of your machine on workgroup is MachA and it has a user "squser1" and password "squser1", you need to create a windows user on your sql server with same username "squser1" and password "squser1" , But the best bet is to add those machine on your domain and then add/map the users to your sql server.

The 'user options' configuration option is a bitmask specification. You
need to perform a bitwise OR in order to leave the other options intact.
The script below will turn on the specified option on and retain the other
option settings.

DECLARE
@.run_value int,
@.new_run_value int
CREATE TABLE #UserOptions
(
name varchar(40) NOT NULL,
minimun int,
maximmun int,
config_value int,
run_value int
)
INSERT INTO #UserOptions
EXEC sp_configure 'user options'

SELECT @.new_run_value = run_value | 16384
FROM #UserOptions

EXEC sp_configure 'user options', @.new_run_value
RECONFIGURE WITH OVERRIDE
DROP TABLE #UserOptions
GO

Remote SSIS vs Domain\User: Access is Denied (0x80070005)

What OS permissions do I need to give a domain user to effectively connect to a remote instance of Integration Services?

I keep getting the following message:

Cannot connect to SQLDEV01
Failed to retreive data for this request.
Access is denied. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80070005 (E_ACCESSDENIED)) (Microsoft.SqlServer.ManagedDTS)

I have already performed the Windows 2003 steps outlined in the "Eliminating the Access is Denied" error located at http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa337083.aspx

I have no problem if the user is a local Administrator (go figure).

The MSDN page lacks another steps needed on W2K3 (not sure about XP) - add the account to Distributed COM Users group. (The page is being updated).|||

Yes, I have done this, and gave the Domain\User the DCOM permissions upon the MsDtsSvr object. The Distributed COM Users step is actually included on ths webpage.

Thanks for responding. Perhaps there is another step missing?

Not really (if we get the same copy of http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa337083.aspx).

The page talks about configuring security for MsDtsServer application, but on Windows 2003 Server and 64-bit XP machine there is another global per-machine setting: in DCOMCNFG right click My Computer, select Properties, find COM Security page and inspect both Edit Limits settings: they should allow the user to access the machine. The simplest way to do it is to add user to Distributed COM Users user group.

|||

I believe I got it to work...

One the webpage http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa337083.aspx, under "To configure rights for remote users on Windows Server 2003"...

replace step 9 with "Click OK to close the dialog box."

Add a step 9.1 with the following text: "On the same Security tab, under Access Permissions, select Customize, then click Edit to open the Access Permission dialog box."

Add a step 9.2 with the following text: "In the Access Permission dialog box, add or delete users, and assign the appropriate permissions to the appropriate users and groups.

Add a step 9.3 with the following text: "Click OK to close the dialog box. Close the MMC snap-in."

Step 10 stays as-is: "Restart the Integration Services service."

Thanks a lot.

Remote SSIS vs Domain\User: Access is Denied (0x80070005)

What OS permissions do I need to give a domain user to effectively connect to a remote instance of Integration Services?

I keep getting the following message:

Cannot connect to SQLDEV01
Failed to retreive data for this request.
Access is denied. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80070005 (E_ACCESSDENIED)) (Microsoft.SqlServer.ManagedDTS)

I have already performed the Windows 2003 steps outlined in the "Eliminating the Access is Denied" error located at http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa337083.aspx

I have no problem if the user is a local Administrator (go figure).

The MSDN page lacks another steps needed on W2K3 (not sure about XP) - add the account to Distributed COM Users group. (The page is being updated).|||

Yes, I have done this, and gave the Domain\User the DCOM permissions upon the MsDtsSvr object. The Distributed COM Users step is actually included on ths webpage.

Thanks for responding. Perhaps there is another step missing?

Not really (if we get the same copy of http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa337083.aspx).

The page talks about configuring security for MsDtsServer application, but on Windows 2003 Server and 64-bit XP machine there is another global per-machine setting: in DCOMCNFG right click My Computer, select Properties, find COM Security page and inspect both Edit Limits settings: they should allow the user to access the machine. The simplest way to do it is to add user to Distributed COM Users user group.

I believe I got it to work...

One the webpage http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa337083.aspx, under "To configure rights for remote users on Windows Server 2003"...

replace step 9 with "Click OK to close the dialog box."

Add a step 9.1 with the following text: "On the same Security tab, under Access Permissions, select Customize, then click Edit to open the Access Permission dialog box."

Add a step 9.2 with the following text: "In the Access Permission dialog box, add or delete users, and assign the appropriate permissions to the appropriate users and groups. The available permissions are Local Access, and Remote Access. The easiest is to add the local DCOM Distributed Users group. "

Add a step 9.3 with the following text: "Click OK to close the dialog box. Close the MMC snap-in."

Remote SSIS Access

Hello,
We have discovered that unless a user is an administrator on the MS SQL 2005
server, they cannot connect to SSIS server locally or remotely.
The SQL Junkies site has the solution. They recommend that you first add the
user to the Distributed COM Users group. Then you should run
%windir%\system32\Com\comexp.msc to launch Component Services to launch
component server. On the properties of MsDtsServer you can choose security
and from there you can set the Remote Activation permissions to allow the
user to connect the SSIS server remotely. The SSIS service should then be
restarted.
I tried it and it works. However, what are the security implications with
this solution?The implications are basically just what you set - you allow
that user to connect remotely to the process for
MsDtsServer. Not much outside of that really - you're only
changing this for SSIS and that particular user.

Remote SQL Server login failed for ASPNET user

This is a common problem, but none of the methods I read about in the other
posts have worked. What is a sure-fire way to get my web application to sto
p
using the ASPNET user for SQL Server authentication? I am trying to connect
to a Server on my LAN with a specified username and password. The error I
get is "Login failed for user '<computer name>\ASPNET'. I tried a standard
connection string and then one that Visual Studio generated when I dragged
the connection to a form:
"Server=<servername>;User ID=<userid>;Password=<password>Initial Catalog=<db
name>"
"workstation id=<my computer name>;packet size=4096;user
id=<user>;password=<password>;data source=<sql server name>;persist security
info=False;initial catalog=<db name>"
I have also tried putting in "Trusted_Connection=false". Also I saw
something about impersonation in the web.config, which i tried but it would
not compile.
The login works fine from inside the Visual Studio IDE and also through
Enterprise Manager.
Thanks for your help
SteveIn my experience this happens when you have the following conditions true...
1. You're using a connection string that's using Integrated Windows
authentication
2. Your web server is configured for anonymous access only
3. <identity impersonate="true" /> is set in your web config (system.web
section)
If your connection string uses a sql login:
User ID=<user>;password=<pwd>;Initial Catalog=<database>;Data Source=<server
>
You should never get this error if your using a SQL login, you're telling
the connection with what credentials to use to connect to the database, why
would it not use what you specified...? I'd double check the connection
string in the config file... You have to have "Integrated Security=True"
specified in your connect string otherwise you would not be attempting to
authenticate to the database using a windows account.

> Steve|||Thank you for responding, Alien2_51. I'll just go down your list:
1) I have made sure that my connection string does not include Integrated
Security=true"
2) I'm not sure about this. I'm just serving out the pages my my computer
(localhost). If I right-click on the default web site and go to directory
security, then to Edit anonymous access, the items that are checked are
"anonymous access", "allow IIS to control password", and "Integrated Windows
authentication". The user name in this dialog box is set to "IUSR_<my
computer name>". If I try to uncheck "integrated windows authentication", I
have to log in when I run the page and then the page won't even display.
3) In my machine.config file, impersonate="false". In the web.config of the
application, the value is not set.
Finally, I don't use the connection string that is in the web.config file
(sqlConnectionString="data source=127.0.0.1;Trusted_Connection=yes") I'm not
sure why it's in there; I just put the connection string in global.asax as a
n
application variable. I have also tried just hard-coding the connection
string into the code. I tried commenting out the connection string in
web.config to no avail.
Anyone please let me know if you have any other suggestions; your help is
certainly appreciated.
Thanks,
Steve

asp.net won't let you have 2 connections open at the same time (one to local
database and one to remote). I removed the local connection to test it and
it worked. Does anyone know how to have 2 simultaneous connections open? I
can use a dataset but the potential problem there is the amount of memory it
could use...
