Can I delete NT SERVICE\SQLWriter and NT SERVICE\Winmgmt logins?

We’ve just installed our first SQL2012 instance and migrated some SQL2008 databases to it. I noticed we have 2 new logins with sa role. Can I safely delete them?

These accounts are created by default with SQL server 2012 installation. I consider them harmless.

The SQL Writer service uses the NT Service\SQLWriter login to connect to SQL Server. Using the
NT Service\SQLWriter login allows the SQL Writer process to run at a lower privilege level in an account designated as
no login, which limits vulnerability. If the SQL Writer service is disabled, then any utility which in relies on VSS snapshots, such as System Center Data Protection Manager, as well as some other 3rd-party products, would be broken, or worse,
at risk of taking backups of databases which were not consistent.
Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) must be able to connect to the Database Engine. To support this, the per-service SID of the Windows WMI provider (NT SERVICE\winmgmt) is provisioned in the Database Engine.

    hi Suneel,

    Using partitioning, you can separate the dataset of a PSA table into several smaller, physically independent, and redundancy-free units. This separation can mean improved performance when you update data from the PSA. In the <b>Implementation Guide with SAP NetWeaver  > Business Intelligence > Connections to Other Systems  > Maintain Control Parameters for Data Transfer</b> you define the number of data records needed to create a new partition. Only data records from a complete request are stored in a partition. The specified value is a threshold value.

    If you are using this database you can also partition PSA tables. You first have to activate this function using RSADMIN parameter DB4_PSA_PARTITIONING = 'X'. SAP Note 815186 includes more comprehensive information on this.
    hope this helps.

  • I have two apple id's because my hotmail account is no longer active. How can I delete the old one and use or update the new one?  Every time I try it won't allow me and now my iPad thinks there are two accounts and they are arguing with each other. Help!

    You can't merge accounts or copy content to a different account, so anything that you bought or downloaded via the old account is tied to that account - so any updates that those apps get you will only be able to download via that account. You can change which account is logged in on the iPad via Settings > Store

  • How can I delete apps in iTunes and have that sync to my iPhone and iPad?

    How can I delete apps in iTunes and have that sync to my iPhone and iPad? I don't want to delete 3 separate times for each item. I just carefully chose 30-35 apps to get rid of via iTunes, hoping it would sync to my devices, only to find I have to repeat the process on my iPad, take notes, then repeat it on my iPhone. It wasn't always so tedious was it?
    Here's the "Help" I got from Apple. They even quoted my question back to me then proceeded to answer with something very different and completely missing the point.
    I understand that you would like to delete the Apps. I know how eager you are to get the required information and I will be happy to assist you.
    You can remove individual songs, audiobooks, and videos from your iPod, iPhone, or iPad. Removing an item from your device doesn't delete it from your iTunes library.
    To remove items from a device other than an iPod shuffle, first make sure that iTunes is set up to manually manage items.
    1. Connect your iPod, iPhone, or iPad to your computer.
    2. When the iPod, iPhone, or iPad icon appears in iTunes, select it.
    3. Unless your device is an iPod shuffle, click the Summary tab and make sure "Manually manage music and videos" or "Manually manage music" is selected.
    4. If the disclosure triangle to the left of your iPod, iPhone, or iPad (below Devices) is closed, click the triangle so that you can see the device's contents.
    5. Select the item you want to delete and press the Delete key.
    This was not helpful in any way and I am still unable to delete apps on my devices in a global, iTunes based way. Each device still requires its own independent process.

    Match was off.  I made all of the changes and then went through the "Turn on iTunes Match" option.  I now have deleted some tracks, edited the Metadata in CDDA, and then added it back.  This worked fine, but it is not a good solution.
    I just tried making some edits and use the "Update iTunes Match" and that seemed to work.  It looks like the real answer is that Match must be up and operational, then you can make changes and run the Update to incorporate the changes.  However, if Match has a problem then Signing Out and back in to your store account and going through the process of Turning On Match (were you get the questions, "Add this Computer to Match" will overwrite any changes. 
    Since this relies on the stability of iTunes, I won't be making a lot of changes between updates.

    You can delete the empty one by dragging it to the trash ( test everything before emptying the trash)
    Merging libraries requires iPhoto Library Manager - http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/ -  it is the only current solution to merging libraries

  • Can I delete a later backup and keep the latest one as to not eat up all my space?

    Can I delete a later backup and keep the latest one as to not eat up all my space?

    Are you talking about Time Machine backups on a Time Capsule?
    It is fine to delete the backup as long as you are sure there is nothing you want.. and do a new clean backup. That will be the least possible space usage for a working backup.. Never delete files out of an existing backup.. it is very hard to manually delete files in the backup.
    We do not recommend it.

  • HT201250 I've just used an external drive to back up my Mac with Time Machine. I have Lion, but didn't click and check the "Encrypt Backup Disc". What should I do? Can I delete the external drive and start again, or can I encrypt later?

    I've just used an external drive to back up my Mac with Time Machine. I have Lion, but didn't click and check the "Encrypt Backup Disc". What should I do? Can I delete the external drive and start again, or can I encrypt later?

    I guess if stolen or lost it would protect my "stuff", and if I'm travelling would protect my privacy.
    You must understand the purpose and implications of encryption before deciding whether to use it.
    Encryption locks your data with a password. If you forget that password, the data is lost beyond any chance of recovery. Neither Apple nor anyone else will be able to help you recover that data if you don't know the password.
    By the same token, the password must be strong enough to provide the security you want. For example, if you're the potential target of industrial espionage by a government or large corporation, you need the strongest possible password. To create and manage such a password safely is a task in itself, not to be undertaken lightly.
    If you're only concerned about casual snooping by someone with no special skill, a weak, easily-remembered password is appropriate.
    But regardless of the strength of the password, if you lose it, the data is gone forever.
    Another point to remember is that if you encrypt your data on one storage device, you must also encrypt it on all other storage devices that would be accessible to the same attacker. Otherwise the data isn't protected. For example, if you keep your computer and your backup drive in the same room, and the internal drive of the computer is not encrypted, then there's no point in encrypting the backup drive.

  • Can i delete the Previous request and create the new request for loading

    Dear Experts,
    I use 0FIGL_V40.Cube in my system. These Cube does not contain delta capability.i mean for every time i wil load Full only.
    Here my question is  the first day  load full load,and second day i want to load the data.But can i delete the previous request and load the data with new request.
    Please guide me .
    Regards,
    Srinivasan.

    Hi Srinivasan,
    I hope the DS itself is not Delta enabled. If so i think you can delete the contents of PSA. This step can be added in the Process chain before actually loading the FULL IP to DS. Then you can include a step to "Delete Entire data from DataTarget" step in the process chain before actually loading the DTP(Can be Delta/FULL. I dont think there is any impact here since both will bring only one request from DS to DataTarget since PSA will have only one request) from DS to Cube.
    Hope it helps!
    Regards,
    Pavan

  • How can we delete SID table data and Text table data

    Hi,
    How can we delete SID table data and Text table data of any
    InfoObject.

    Hi,
    Go to transaction SE14, give the technical name if the table:
    /BIC/T<InfoObject Name>   for Text Table
    /BIC/S<InfoObject Name>  for SID Table
    Select "Table" in the given 4 options below  &  hit Edit button.
    in the next screen select "Direct"
    & also select "detele data" radio button.
    & hit  "Activate & adjust database".
    this will delete the complete data from the tables.
    Note: before deleting the SID's make sure of the consequences & after effects.
    Also the SID gets generated the next time you load master data/transaction data only for those records which were loaded..
