Change SQL Server User

Hello Everybody
We are implementing security over our SQL Servers (MS SQL Servers). Actually, we are using the "sa" user to connect SAP to the SQL Server and now we need to change it to use an exclusive user for SAP.
We have installed SAP Business One 8.81 (8.81.315) PL: 07. Anyone has an idea of where could I change the configuration of the SAP's connection to our SQL Server?

Hello again
Finally I could read both documents.
We will try with the one Mushtaq_M said. I will have a meeting, where will define maintenance window.
I have not found the console mentioned in the document Dhayalinie Ganesh gave me.
I will comment the results of the test.
Thanks both of you.

  • Change sql server 2014 server name

    Hi
    This works on sql 2008 r2, but not on sql server 2014
    sp_dropserver 'old_server'
    Msg 15015, Level 16, State 1, Procedure sp_dropserver, Line 42
    The server 'old_server' does not exist. Use sp_helpserver to show available servers.
    sp_addserver 'new_server',local
    Msg 15028, Level 16, State 1, Procedure sp_addserver, Line 74
    The server 'new_server' already exists.

    You mean you are changing server name(Host name) ? But this is only to change SQL instance name not server name.
    Please paste output:
    Select @@ServerName ServerName, Host_name() HostName
    Follow steps from here:

  • SQL SERVER USERS

    Hello Experts
    How can we list all sql server users(active or inactive) with the respective rights in a server? i was told to list all users and their rights on a hard copy, thank you as ususa!

    -- selects out logins in instance
    select name,
    dbname
    from sys.syslogins
    -- selects out users and groups that has access to specific database
    -- ...must be run per database in instance
    select status,
    name,
    hasdbaccess,
    * from
    sys.sysusers
    where status
    in (4,12)
    -- 4 = group, 12 = login
    and hasdbaccess
    = 1
    I am sure that there must be a more handsome way of doing it....  :-)

  • Replication stopp after change changing SQL Server Agent User

    Hi,
    I tryed to change the user for SQL Server Agent on my Distributor. We use pushed transaction replications. But after i changed the user, all replications stopped:
    ERROR: (from SQL Monitor)
    The job failed.  The Job was invoked by Start Sequence 0.  The last step to run was step 3 (Detect nonlogged agent shutdown.).
    The new user is a domainusert too, and had administrative rights on the server. I changed the user to start SQL Server Agent on other servers without error.
    Can anybody tell me, how to change the user on a distributor, without stopping all replications?
    Thanks
    Kind regards,
    Andreas

    Hi Andreas,
    You are likely running into a permissions issue.
    Verify the Log Reader Agent process account is db_owner in the distribution database and that the account used to connect to the Publisher is db_owner in the publication database.
    Verify the Distribution Agent process account is db_owner in the distribution and subscription databases, is a member of the PAL, and has read permissions on the snapshot share.
    This is covered in
    Replication Agent Security Model.

  • After sql server 2012 installation, I have changed sql server database engine service account from network service user to system user. What is disadvantages of this process?

         After
     sql server 2012 installation, I   attached my production db. Because of some reasons, i
     changed sql engine account from network service user to system user by means of sql server configuration manager.
         Now , there isn’t
     a problem at sql server running system.  But
    I have doubts that
     this can produce problems later. Because  sql server database engine account must have privileges that listed below;
    Log on as a service (SeServiceLogonRight)
    Replace a process-level token (SeAssignPrimaryTokenPrivilege)
    Bypass traverse checking (SeChangeNotifyPrivilege)
    Adjust memory quotas for a process
    (SeIncreaseQuotaPrivilege)
    Permission to start SQL Writer
    Permission to read the Event Log service
    Permission to read the Remote Procedure Call service
     While sql server installation, setup gives these
     privileges to network service user automatically, but changing user by means of sql confugarition manager does not give these
    privileges.
    Now, system user has privileges listed below. And sql server has been running for 1,5 months without any problems.
    Log on as a service (SeServiceLogonRight)
         Bypass traverse checking
    (SeChangeNotifyPrivilege) (Everyone user has his privileges. So i think that system user has this privilege also)
    What problems can occur because of this situation? Shall i give other privileges to system user and restart sql server or not? And how can i give these privileges to system user listed below;
    Replace a process-level token (
    this can be set from user rights assignments)
    Adjust memory quotas for a process
    (this can be set from user rights assignments)
    Permission to start SQL Writer ( 
    ? - give advice )
    Permission to read the Event Log service (
    ? - give advice )
    Permission to read the Remote Procedure Call service (
    ? - give advice )

     Our server is  windows server 2008 r2 enterprise edition. I have looked the bunch of permissions in user rights menu  that is in local security policy settings gui.
    And i have seen those permissions below were not granted to system user;
    Bypass traverse checking (SeChangeNotifyPrivilege)
    Adjust memory quotas for a process
    (SeIncreaseQuotaPrivilege)
    So, briefly you say, don't panic ?

    T-SQL: Random Equal Distribution
    Jinchun Chen: "Nice."
    JS: "The crucial thing about such a procedure is to check the data before the randomization and afterwards. You might encounter situations where "John Smith" and "John Meyers" might have exchanged their First names
    which is technically correct, but logically and obviously wrong. So make sure that there is one additional check afterwards that makes sure that eventual privicy concerns will not survive the random process. Normally this would not happen, but I have already
    checked this is one of my older blog entries, where we exactly had that problem obfuscating data to make that operational and live data will not be recognized afterwards. http://blogs.msdn.com/b/jenss/archive/2009/04/08/when-is-random-random-enough.aspx In
    addition to this some attributes are sticky to each other like gender and First Name. You also have to make sure that your distribution might change statistically in relation to other attributes."

    DataCleanUp() Function Implementation in MS SQL Server
    Jinchun Chen: "Good."
    JS: "-Does actually not work for Case senstive areas where I want to remoce certain Upper/lower case characters. This might be not interesting for some people, but is extremely important and relevant to other people. The limitation is
    that I can´t pass multiple values to be removed from the string, right ? Could this be implemented as well as many people wash out their data from unused / unimportant control characters. "I have tested it on a table which has got more than 11 Million
    rows and it executed fine returning the correct results. Since this is a scalar function you will notice decrease in performance." Once you want to maintain the old data and keep the new cleaned up one seperately, you could suggest something like persisting
    the data in a computed column which could be indexed and then help improving the performance. This would not be the case for any adhoc queries though."
    Richard Mueller: "Very clever and also very useful. There should be links to references, for example to explain the PATINDEX function."

  • Change SQL Server Agent service account

    How can I change the SQL Server Agent service account from NT SERVICE\SQLSERVERAGENT to a domain user? and most importantly is what permissions I have to give that domain user?
    I know that when SQL Server setup, the installer gives the domain user (that we choose to run a SQL Server service) the least privileges required, but my case is that I chose NT SERVICE\SQLSERVERAGENT and
    now I want to change it to domain user so I can run successfully jobs that execute something on another SQL Servers.
    If I JUST change the service account in the SQL Server Agent Properties window to a normal domain user, this is not enough and non of the jobs (even that execute local jobs) will work ... 
    So what privileges I should give that domain user to be able to run ALL jobs successfully?

    Thanks Andreas ... yes it seems that my problem is not what I was thinking.
    Stan210, thank you also :) .... my connection is trusted and the following is the error I'm getting:
    The job failed.  Unable to determine if the owner (MYDOMAIN\JobOwnerUser) of job
    MyJOB has server access (reason: Could not obtain information about Windows NT group/user 'MYDOMAIN\JobOwnerUser', error code 0x6e. [SQLSTATE 42000] (Error
    15404)).
    if I change the owner of the job to sa I get the follwoing error:
    Executed as user: CCCAE\RASO_SSAgent. Login failed for user 'MYDOMAIN\AgentDomainUser'. [SQLSTATE 28000] (Error 18456)  Cannot open database "DB_on_other_Server" requested by the login. The login
    failed. [SQLSTATE 42000] (Error 4060).  The step failed.
    if I keep the owner of the job "sa" and add the 'MYDOMAIN\JobOwnerUser'
    in 'Run as user' of the step, I get the following error:
    'EXECUTE AS USER' failed for the requested user
    'MYDOMAIN\JobOwnerUser' in the database 'master'.  The step failed.
    please note that 'MYDOMAIN\JobOwnerUser'
    is a sysadmin on both SQL Servers 

  • Change sql server database mode from full to simple when others access that database. What could happen?

    That' sql server 2008.
    Thanks

    Hi, 
    As I understand, you're basically interesting in the situation where users are connected to the database and they are using the database at the time you change the database recovery mode. It is highly recommended not to change the recovery mode while users
    are using the database, especially do not use any bulk operation!
    1. I highly recommend to read this link:
    View or Change the Recovery Model of a Database (SQL Server)
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms189272.aspx
    2. as mentioned by all previews post there is several consideration that you should know regarding the database itself during the operation, as (1) logs are truncated, (2) process breaks the log chain, and loose point in time recovery.

  • How to change SQL Server security groups name after server rename?

    A Windows 2003 server has been renamed from LAMDAMIRROR1A to LAMDAMIRROR2A and the following
    sql has been run in SQL Server 2008 R2 on the server :
    exec sp_dropserver 'LAMDAMIRROR1A'
    exec sp_addserver 'LAMDAMIRROR2A','local'
    However, although everything appears ok, the 5 Windows 2003 Groups (automatically created by
    the SQL 2008 R2 Install) still contain 'LAMDAMIRROR1A' in their name. Does this matter ? Can the Windows Groups be just renamed (right click , rename) or will this cause problems ?
    The Windows Groups are :
    SQLServer2005SQLBrowserUser$LAMDAMIRROR1A
    SQLServerDTSUser$LAMDAMIRROR1A
    SQLServerMSSQLServerADHelperUser$LAMDAMIRROR1A
    SQLServerMSSQLUser$LAMDAMIRROR1A
    SQLServerSQLAgentUser$LAMDAMIRROR1A
    There are also Registry entries containing the old 'LAMDAMIRROR1A' name. Does this matter ?
    Should this be changed ?
    eg. 
    My Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server\100\Machines\OriginalMachineName.
    My Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server\Services\Report Server\GroupPrefix.
    My Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\printers\Microsoft XPS
    DocumentWriter\DsSpooler\serverName.
    etc

    Hi,
    If you have executed the sp_dropserver and sp_addserver in SQL Server 2008 R2, we need to verify if you renamed the SQL Server instance successfully. You can select information from @@SERVERNAME or sys.servers to verify if the renaming operation is completely
    successful in SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS). If yes, whether you change the registry entries containing the old 'LAMDAMIRROR1A' name or not, there’s no impact on SQL Server Services. For more details, please review this article: 
    How to: Rename a Computer that Hosts a Stand-Alone Instance of SQL Server.
    In addition, if you must rename the windows groups, you can just right-click the group in Computer Management/System Tools/Local Users and Groups/Groups and rename it, or you can create new groups with new names, for more details, please review this article:
    Manage Local Groups. If there are some issues regards the Windows, you can post the question in the Windows Server forums at
    http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windowsserver/en-US/home?category=windowsserver . It is appropriate and more experts will assist you.
    Thanks

  • Changing sql server service and sql server agent service startup account in SQL Server hosting SharePoint DB

    Hi 
    i have a sharepoint deployment with one SQL Server (running on VM) hosting the config DB and another SQL Server (Physical Host because VM was running out of space) to host the huge Content DBs. I need to schedule automatic backups of the Content DBs to a
    network share. For that i need to run the SQL Server Service with an account having permissions to the share as suggested in https://support.microsoft.com/kb/207187?wa=wsignin1.0
    I tried changing the logon as a service account to a domain
    account which has permissions to the Network Share and is also in local Administrators group of SQL Server and has "public and sysadmin" roles in SQL Server but that caused an issue. the SharePoint Web Application started showing a White Screen so
    I had to revert back to the default accounts i.e. NT Service\SQLSERVERAGENT and NT Service\MSSQLSERVER. I viewed the event logs . These are the types of error i got after changing the logon as a service account to a domain account
    1) Information Rights Management (IRM): Retried too many times to initialize IRM client. Cannot retry more. Retried times is:0x5.

    Hi Aparna,
    According to your description, you get the above two errors when scheduling backups of Content DB. Right?
    Based on those two error messages, they are related to the service principal name(SPN) for SQL Server service. Please verify the if the SPN is registered successfully. You can view it in ADSI Edit or use command line. Please see:
    http://blogs.msdn.com/b/psssql/archive/2010/03/09/what-spn-do-i-use-and-how-does-it-get-there.aspx
    When installing SQL Server, those two services below should be registered:
            MSSQLSvc/servername:1433      
            MSSQLSvc/servername
    Please check if those SPNs or duplicated SPNs exist. You can use command to reset SPN or remove duplicated SPN and add new one. See:
    Setspn.
    We have also met this issue when this SPN is registered under Administrator. Please try to register it under Computer. You can add it in ADSI Edit.
    If you have any question, please feel free to ask.

  • Change SQL server instance collation after Sharepoint installation

    Installed Sharepoint 2013 with the SQL Server 2012 db instance using the default collation Latin1_General_CI_AS. SQL is just used for Sharepoint 2013. the system is not released yet for production Run the installation and configurations and database
    attach for all content databases. all content dbs were created by SP with proper collation Latin1_General_CI_AS_KS_WS, as well as search, UP and all service applications.
    Would like to change the SQL collation for the instance to Latin1_General_CI_AS_KS_WS(as
    https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2008668) . Steps that I see:
    1. Stop IIS on SP
    2. Script logins
    3. recreate instance collation
    setup /QUIET /ACTION=REBUILDDATABASE /INSTANCENAME=<Name> /SQLSYSADMINACCOUNTS=<Sysadmins> /SAPWD=PasswordSA /SQLCOLLATION=Latin1_General_CI_AS_KS_WS
    4.recreate logins (including Sharepoint farm, portal and services service accounts) from previous scripts. Redeploy linked servers ,remote logins,endpoints, backup devices
    4. attach all Sharepoint databases
    5. since it is preproduction not need msdb also model can remain as recreated by setup
    do you see any issue?

    Hello,
    Please take in consideration the steps suggested by Darren Madsen on the following resource.

    Hope this helps.

  • SharePoint - Changed SQL Server but DPM still References Old One

    Hello
    I have changed my SQL Server for SharePoint 2010 from Server1 to Server2. Everything is working OK. So I need to re-setup DPM as it is referencing the old instance.
    I have uninstalled the protection agent for SharePoint on my Web Front End. I have re-installed it and when I go to set up the protection group it displays the SharePoint config as Server1 whereas it now sits on Server2.
    Any ideas?!
    I am using DPM 2012 SP1.
    Thanks

    run configuresharepoint.exe –enablesharepointprotection on the web front end and we are all set.

  • How to find who has changed SQL Server Agent 'Job History' settings.

    Hi all,
    I was searching from couple of days to know is there a way to find out who has changed the SQl agent property settings.
    Like if someone unchecks the SQL Agent History settings how i can find who has done that change?
    I searched for trace flags but there is nothing related to it, i searched for system tables and views of msdb but nothing which can give this information, even didn't find any audit setting that can monitor these activities.
    My sql version is SQL Server 2008. Please throw your ides on how to track the sql agent history setting changes!!!
    Thanks In Advance!!!!
    VVinayPrasad

    Hi,
    You might be able to AUDIT the execute on that SP but its not giving exactly what has been changed... i guess you are getting what i am looking for...
    whatever the property might be changed it only shows the sp name thats it.... but not the exact sql statement executed on background
    VVinayPrasad
    First of all: It's not about me, it's about you. And it's not a might, its a given fact. I
    tested it for you.
    Second: your question was:
    >>I was searching from couple of days to know is there a way to find out
    who has changed the SQl agent property settings.
    >>Like if someone unchecks the SQL Agent History settings how i can find who has done that change?
    So please first clear up, what you really need.
    Third: instead of Auditing I already gave the advise to use Tracing (be it SQLTrace or Extended Events). Both will give you the exact statement. SQLTrace may be easier on SQL2008
    Please try all of the provided first before doing guesswork.

  • CR-11.5/ODBC-Changing SQL-Server Database in same instance

    I'm using CR 11.5 against SQL-Server 2005.  In the same SQL-Server default instance, I have both  Demo and Production databases.  I've used both the SQL-Server Native ODBC driver, and the OLE/ADO driver as a trial.  Some of my reports have used the standard Table selection method to generate the  SQL; others have needed a Command script due to embedded subqueries.
    My problem is getting a Demo reports changed over to Production reports.  If I make up an original Demo ODBC connection against the Demo database, and then make up a new Production ODBC connection against the same instance but against the Production database, the Data Source will change over to the newly named ODBC connection, but the Database remains pointed at the previous Demo database despite the new ODBC connection telling it to do otherwise.
    This seems particularly troublesome with the standard Table reports as the the new connection Database properties have to be changed to Production as well as the Database properties for every single table.
    Also, is it possible to use just one ODBC connection and force the change by changing the default database from Demo to Production and updating the data?
    Am I missing something here?
    Thanks!

  • Migrating Reports - Changing SQL Server Connection

    Post Author: lkamenir
    CA Forum: Publishing
    I have reports running in CR XI Server (Enterprise) in development.  When I am ready to move these to testing (and point the datasource to a different SQL Server), how can I modify the connection (server name) which the reports will use?  I am currently trying the Publishing Wizard which gives me an option to change login credentials, but NOT the SQL Server Name.  Any ideas?

    Hello,
    I don't recognize those variables as CR ones so it's likely something the original developer is setting in code.
    You'll have to discuss with that person.
    If your have SDK issues then post your question to one of the .NET or Java SDK forums.
    Thank you
