How to Provide Windows Credentials in Invoke-sqlcmd
Hi,
Could you please let me know how to execute TSQL Queries using Invoke-Sqlcmd by passing Windows Credentials.
I Know Other methods(sqlcmd, SMO) to Run, But Im looking for this Solution.
I Tried below Commands but it is failing.
Add-PSSnapin SqlServerCmdletSnapin100
Add-PSSnapin SqlServerProviderSnapin100
Invoke-Sqlcmd -ServerInstance "ABC\XYZ" -Database "master" -Query "select * from sys.databases" -Username "Domain\user_ID" -Password "Pwd"
The credentials which I have passed is having Sysadmin access to SQL Server and it is a Domain Account.
Note: if I Run the same command Without passing Credentials in the same machine(ABC), then Im getting the Output.
Please help
As Mike notes. The username and password are only useful when you are connecting in mixed mode and you have defined a SQL standard login. For all trusted connections you must start PowerShell as the user that you want to connect with. There
no alternate credentials in MSSQLServer. The is a "Trusted" connection and a user login connection. Logins arte not enabled by default in MSSQLServer.
If you have sufficient priviliges in SQLServer you can act as another user and use their schema. I recommend posting in the SQLServer forum to learn how to set up and use this.

How to execute SQL Script using windows powershell(using invoke-sqlcmd or any if)
OS : Windows server 2008
SQL Server : SQL Server 2012
Script: Test.sql (T-SQL) example : "select name from sys.databases"
Batch script: windows MyBatchscript.bat ( here connects to sql server using sqlcmd and output c:\Testput.txt)
(sqlcmd.exe -S DBserverName -U username -P p@ssword -i C:\test.sql -o "c:\Testoutput.txt) ---it working without any issues.....
This can execute if i double click MyBatchscript.bat file and can see the output in c:\testput.txt.
Powershell: Similarly, How can i do in powershell 2.0 or higher versions? can any one give full details with each step?
I found some of them online, but nowhere seen clear details or examples and it not executing through cmd line (or batch script).
example: invoke-sqlcmd -Servernameinstance Servername -inputfile "c:\test.sql" | out-File -filepath "c:\psOutput.txt" --(call this file name MyTest.ps1)
(The above script working if i run manually. I want to run automatic like double click (or schedule with 3rd party tool/scheduler ) in Batch file and see the output in C drive(c:\psOutput.txt))
Can anyone Powershell experts give/suggest full details/steps for this. How to proceed? Is there any configurations required to run automatic?
Thanks in advance.Testeted the following code and it's working.....thanks all.

[Forum FAQ] How do I have Invoke-SqlCmd return a date value without adding time
Introduction
A select statement executed from Invoke-SqlCmd returns a value from a Date column, the value has "12:00:00 AM" appended. The same select statement executed within SQL Server Management Studio displays the date properly without any time formatting.
Sample data is as follows:
How to have Invoke-SqlCmd return Date values without adding time for multiple Date type columns and pipe the output into CSV file?
Solution
In SQL Server 2012 or onwards, use the FORMAT() function to convert datetime values to date format when executing query from Invoke-SqlCmd. In earlier versions such as SQL Server 2008 R2, use the traditional CONVERT() function to format datetime values to
different date formats(yyyy.mm.dd, mm/dd/yyyy, etc) when executing query from Invoke-SqlCmd. Then pipe the output of SQL query result into CSV file by specifying export-csv parameter. An example is as follows.
Create a table named “Test_invokesqlcmd” that contains Date type columns in SQL Server.
USE Test
Go
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[Test_invokesqlcmd](
[id] [int] NOT NULL,
[name] [varchar](20) NULL,
[test1] [date] NULL,
[test2] [date] NULL
) ON [PRIMARY]
GO
insert into [dbo].[Test_invokesqlcmd]
values(1,'David','2014-10-15','2015-01-07'),(2,'Jane','2011-08-05','2012-11-7'),(3,'Crystal','2013-09-15','2010-02-24')
Define a query string, execute it from Invoke-SqlCmd and save the query result to a CSV file.
Scripts for SQL Server 2012:
$query1 = @"
use Test;
SELECT FORMAT(test1,'d') as newtest1, FORMAT(test2,'d') as newtest2 from dbo.Test_invokesqlcmd
write-host $query1
Invoke-Sqlcmd -Query $query1 -ServerInstance localhost | export-csv -notypeinformation -path c:\Files\test.csv
Scripts for SQL Server 2008 R2:
$query2 = @"
Use Test;
SELECT CONVERT(varchar, test1, 102) as newtest1,CONVERT(varchar, test2, 102) as newtest2
FROM dbo. Test_invokesqlcmd
write-host $query2
Invoke-Sqlcmd -Query $query2 -ServerInstance localhost | export-csv -notypeinformation -path c:\Files\test.csv
Check the results in SQL Server PowerShell window and csv file.

How do I set ClientCredentials property to windows credentials?
As per MSDN
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/92a9678c-bc4f-4d7a-ba44-85989bfe27ca
Building Applications Using the Reporting Web Service and the .NET Framework we have to set Credentials as below
ReportingService2010 rs = new ReportingService2010();
rs.Credentials = System.Net.CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials;
However, after creating the proxy I don't see proxy has Credentials property as MSDN says. The proxy has ClientCredentials property but it is not derived from ICredentials
I'm using http://serverurl/ReportServer/ReportService2010.asmx
How do I set ClientCredentials property to windows credentials in this case?But i dont see "Add web reference" option.
Have you read the link I posted? "Add Service Reference" => button "Advanced" => "Add Web Reference"
to check if the folder already exists
Sure, with

Plz help
-SankalpHi ,
My problem is still not resolved. I tried applying the people picker property and set a specific field(an email id field) to be available to only admins. Now the field is not visible to the normal users but only admins which is good but that email field
should be able to take normal users as wel as admin's email ID. currently due to the people picker property it only takes admin's ID and not normal user's ID - which is not as per expectation.
What this email ID field does is - when a normal user is logged in he/she wont see this field in that view. But when an admin logs in he/she can switch to admin view and see this field . The admin can put any user's ID in this field and pull out the required
resource's Time Report for modification.
Please let me know how do i overcome my problem. Detailed step description will be very helpfull .
As per Cameron's suggestion (add a rule on the "additional admin section") , i am not sure how exactly that is done. Would help a lot if i got to know how this works.

How to save the credentials in windows security when opening a report?
How to save the credentials in windows security when opening a report?
in Silverlight program, user click a link to SQL server report services link, it pops up a new IE window and ask for windows security.
Type the user name password in and check save password. reports showed and close IE. user click again, the same windows security popup dialog showed up. how to really remember the credentials?
If keep the IE open, reports shows in second tab of the same IE window for the second click, and it didn't ask for the windows security.Hi Lascorpion,
According to your description, users need to type username and password before they can open the SSRS report when reopening IE, right? If I have anything misunderstood, please point it out.
Base on my research, this issue offten occurs on IE9 which ships with Windows 7 operating systems. In this case, to avoid this issue we can add the report URL to the trust site, for the detail information, please refer to the link below.

Invoke-Sqlcmd problem on Windows server 2008
We have several Web Servers running Win2008 and need to be able to use the Invoke-Sqlcmd powershell cmdlet to execute arbitrary SQL.

Invoke-sqlcmd with domain user name and password
I am trying to execute below small SQL script from powershell by passing my domain user name and password..but it is throwing an error login failed for the user.
Howerver I am able to execute the same query by passing normal user 'non domain' and password. The issue is only when i am trying to connect with domain username.
Can you please suggest if there is any way to execute below query with domain user..
Invoke-Sqlcmd
-query "select name from master.sys.databases"
-ServerInstance "CM-NCKM-DBTST04\SQL2012" -username "sos\9venk" -password "xxxx"
Thanks

venkatHi Venkat,
Agree with Mike, to connect sql via powershell, you can refer to this article about authentications:
Connecting to SQL Server through Powershell
Please try to gather credentials using Get-Credential, and then use New-PSSession -Authentication CredSSP to open the pssession.
A similar discussion about this issue is for your reference:

Connect Coldfusion 9 to SQL using intranet users windows credentials
Is it possible to use pass through / integrated authentication using the application users windows account (rather than the service account) when a Coldfusion application connects to an MS SQL DB?
For background, we are running:
ColdFusion 9,0,1,274733 hosted on a Windows 2008 R2 (64) server
SQL server 2008 R2 hosted on a Windows 2008 R2 (64) server
IE 8 and/or 9 as the client browser
I have an intranet application that is used only by users within our AD domain. I have no problem getting ColdFusion to connect to the SQL database using the ColdFusion service account, but ideally we would like the connection to be made under the application user's account.
I would appreciate any guidance on how to achieve this if it is possible?
(I am not a webmanager/developer and so my ColdFusion knowledge is very limited!)
Thanks in advance,
DarrenAgain, thanks for the responses - it is nice to be able to talk through these things (I work in a fairly small organisation and so do not often get to talk through technical subjects with other professionals!)
Firstly, to respond to BKBK, I have been considering that approach, though unless I have missed something, I would either:
1. have to use simple authentication - in which case a users windows credentials would be passed as Binary_Base64 (i.e. clear text) - and possibly would need to replicate all AD accounts as SQL server accounts (not sure in that account replication bit as I may be able to still get it to authenticate as a windows account from the SQL engine - but the clear text passwords is the real problem), or:
2. have to use form based credentials, in which case the users would have to 'login' to the application - I am trying to avoid this to make it as seamless for the users as possible.
Neither of those approaches are ideal (unless, as I say, I am missing an option there) and so I am more inclined to use a single SQL account from the datasource definition and control access from a combination of the application and the database.
Secondly, to respond to Dan.
I agree, it would be no good for User A to receive an error if they tried to run a proc that they do not have permissions for. However, if these errors occur they are captured and handled gracefully in both the application suite and the database.
Aside from this, the application does not provide the ability for user A to execute procedure 7 (from the example in my previous post) - which I guess is what you are saying with " Whatever UI control User B has to run sp 7 cannot be available to User A".
The reason for controlling physical permissions in the DB was that:
1. it is universal for all interfaces with that database - so long as integrated auth is used
2. it provides a belt and braces approach (as parts of this application has sensitive data) - so that if somehow user A gets the web application to call procedure 7 then the DB would still prevent it
For thought/discussion:
I think I will end up using a single account from the datasource, but make it a datasource that can only be called from AD users accessing the application (though only AD users can access the application which achieves this already).
Any call to the database must include the CGI variable "AUTH_USER" as an input parameter.
The DB will then:
1. check the account that is logged in to the SQL engine (to ensure a user hasnt bypassed coldFusion and gone straight to the DB - though Group permissions are already set for this scenario)
2. Check the user supplied as a parameter exists in AD and is an active account
3. and check the permissions of that user for the particular task that was requested of the DB engine. - execute if permissable, gracefully refuse with appropriate messages passed back if not.
This combined with the control in the application to only present the right functions to the right user should give me the belt and braces that we are after - all be it in a bit of a convoluted way!
I guess the big question is how easy/difficult is it to fake "AUTH_USER"? -

Re: How to install Windows 8.1 on new Satellite Pro C50?
I've just purchased a TOSHIBA SATELLITE PRO C50 which came with Windows 7 Pre-installed.
Upon starting the system for the first time, I simply shut it down and put the Windows 8.1 Media in the Optical Drive (disk 1 of 4) and then went into the recovery wizard, and may have chosen the wrong option, as I completely wiped the hard drive and partitions.
Now that I've done that, I cannot find the way to install the Windows 8.1 Pro Media from the 4 DVDs provided. I cannot find the correct option to do this. I've changed the boot option in the system settings by pressing F2 upon boot, so it reads from the DVD drive. The DVD starts up but then takes me into a system recovery area, which is no good as I've completely wiped the system.
How can I just simply now install the provided Windows 8.1 Pro onto the clean system now?
Thanks for any advice.At first I would like to know which notebook model do you have exactly. If possible please post the whole model number (C50-xxxxx). I just want to check specification for this notebook model.
Have you bought this notebook model as brand new product and originally boxed?
Anyway, if you have original recovery installation discs for it you should be able to install it without some problems. Start your notebook and press F12 to enter boot menu. When this menu wil be shown on the screen, put disc 1 into optical disc drive, choose CD/DVD drive in menu and press ENTER.
ODD should start to read disc and recovery wizard will be shown o the screen. Choose option to install out-of-box/factory settings and just follow menu on the screen. -

How to Install Windows 7 Without the Disc
1a) Here is very useful article from PCWorld.com. The article is entitled "How to Install Windows 7 Without the Disc" and means just what it says. The article also has links to Magical Jelly Bean Keyfinder and legitimate Windows 7 ISOs from Digital River, a licensed distributor of Microsoft software. The article lists "Step 1" as;
"Find your Windows 7 product key: Typically this 25-character alphanumeric string is printed on a sticker affixed to your PC or on documentation included with your PC. Alternatively, you can use a keyfinder program such as Magical Jelly Bean Keyfinder to pull your product key from the Registry. You need your product key to reinstall Windows."
1b) Using a key finder, however, is only useful if the Windows 7 product key was printed on a sticker (Microsoft Certificate of Authenticity) affixed to your PC, on documentation included with your PC, or sent via email by Microsoft. Assuming your computer came from one of the big brand computer manufacturers... HP, Sony, Dell, Gateway, etc... as most do, it uses a generic "mass activation" OEM SLP key. Trying to use this key by itself isn't going to work. This OEM SLP key needs to be mated with an OEM SLP certificate and an appropriate OEM BIOS with a proper SLIC table.
1c) Here is where ABR Beta With Windows 7 Support comes to the rescue. Follow the "How to use it" section of ABR for Windows Vista for information and instructions on how to use ABR. The steps listed for Vista apply to Windows 7 as well. Perform the "activation backup" to "backup" and save the OEM SLP key and OEM SLP certificate. Save the entire ABR folder to an external location for later use. This will allow you to pre-activate your "clean" Windows 7 install on the computer you pulled the key and certificate from.
1d) Now install Windows 7 from your new "Windows 7" disc or USB stick, following all prompts as needed. Don't enter a Windows 7 product key if request. Also, don't allow Windows to try to auto-activate. Once Windows is fully installed, run ABR "activation restore" to "restore" the previously backed up product key and certificate to the new Windows 7 install. Verify that Windows is activated, repeat "activation restore" if needed.
2) Here is another useful article, this time from SevenForums.com. This arcticle is entitled "Clean Reinstall - Factory OEM Windows 7" and provides detailed steps required to backup your computer, audit current hardware and software, locate software and drivers, install and activate Windows 7, and create a Windows 7 Backup Image of your fresh install.
Good luck.
Links to additional Windows 7 SP1 "Editions" and "Languages" can be found HERE and HERE.
Link to "ei.cfg Removal Utility". The "ei.cfg Removal Utility" is a simple tool that will remove the ei.cfg from any Windows ISO disc image, thereby converting the image into a "universal disc" that will prompt the user to select an edition during setup instead of being forced to use different discs for different versions of Windows 7.

Before formatting the hard drive you should have been able to use the HP Recovery Manager to create your recovery discs or perform a system recovery. This is provided the recovery partition wasn't already corrupt or damaged. If the "D:" HP Recovery partition is missing or damaged and you don't have a set of HP Recovery Discs, you will need to use the information in my previous post to get your computer up and running again.
The information in the document referred you to applies to several different "types" of installations;
Using ABRbeta is only needed if you have an active OEM factory SLP (system locked preactivated) installation of Windows. You use ABR to pull the factory key and certificate off the computer, to reuse it on the same computer with a clean Windows install.
If you are just installing Windows and are going to use the Windows 7 product key on the COA on the side of your computer, all you need to do is download the same version of Windows that your key is for and burn the ISO. Now install Windows answering or following all prompts as needed (except do not enter the Windows product at this time... it will be entered later). Once Windows has completely installed, enter the key and activate it. Your Windows 7 OA key should work on a SP1 install without issue.
The only thing I see that could mess things up, is the language of the install. If you are still having trouble activating Windows, please reference the ISO you download and a post a photo of your Windows COA
with the key erased or Xed out.
Please send KUDOs

How to Reset Windows 8 Admin Password without Disk
Problem:Forgot Windows 8 admin password and no reset disk available, how can I reset Windows 8 admin password? On the occasion, how to reset password on Windows 8 seems to be our problematic issue. However, the problem looks difficult, not difficult actually. Two factors make efforts on it. One is the new characteristics of Windows 8 system, the other is software technology development. So just let me help you to solve it. Just choose one and put it into practice:1. Get User password via Windows Password Hint.2. Get into computer with PIN code, and reset password for locked account.3. Login windows 8 Via Microsoft MSN Account.4. Reset Windows password with another available admin account.5. Reset Windows 8 password with iSunshare password tool. These methods will be introduced in details for people who have encountered or are facing this problem. 1. Get Administrator password via Windows Password HintWhen we are creating our Windows system account and login password, a password hint will be asked to set up for preparation. This password hint had better can remind you, only just you of lost or forgotten password. So it couldn’t like the password, but is related to your login password. As a result, while you type a wrong password, the password hint will pops up below the password input box. Based on the password hint, you can think of your origin password.
