SQl engine service account in different trusted domain from server?

Is it possible to use an SQL service account from a different, but still trusted, domain than the one to which the server is joined? If so, are there any nonstandard configuration settings I need to use?
I've got this setup running, but when I try to connect with an account from any domain other than the one to which the server is joined, I get the following error:
Login failed for user 'SERVICEACCOUNTDOMAIN\account'. Reason: Token-based server access validation failed with an infrastructure error. Check for previous errors.
I've created the SPN in the service account's domain, and verified there is both connectivity and a valid trust relationship. The users I'm testing also have logon permissions for the server.

Hi AccuMegalith,
Firstly, it is possible to use an SQL Server service account from a different, trusted domain. We need to note the following configuration.
For more details, please review this article:
Security Account Delegation.
1. The service account must be trusted for delegation on the domain controller.
The following options in Active Directory Users and Computers must be specified in order for delegation to work:
•The Account is sensitive and cannot be delegated check box must not be selected for the user requesting delegation.
•The Account is trusted for delegation check box must be selected for the service account of SQL Server.•The
Computer is trusted for delegation check box must be selected for the server running an instance of Microsoft SQL Server
2. The service account must have SPNs registered on the domain controller. If the service account is a domain user account, the domain administrator must register the SPNs.
Login failed for user 'SERVICEACCOUNTDOMAIN\account'. Reason: Token-based server access validation failed with an infrastructure error. Check for previous errors.
Secondly, regarding to above error message, it means that SQL Server was able to authenticate you, but weren't able to validate with the underlying Windows permissions.
It could be caused by that the Windows login has no profile or that permissions could not be checked due to UAC. Please perform the following steps to troubleshoot this issue. For more details, please review this
blog.
1. Run SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) as administrator and disable UAC.
2. Check if that login is directly mapped to one of the SQL Server logins by looking into the output of sys.server_principals.
3. If the login is directly mapped to the list of available logins in the SQL instance, then check if the SID of the login matches the SID of the Windows Login.

I have an imap account and deleted all mail from server. Once doing this all emails from my iPad -which was on a wi-fi- where automatically deleted. Fortunately these emails are still visible on my iPhone that was without connection. If I send all these emails to my iCloud account - they will remain into my outgoing folder until I open my wi-fi- …BUT will they be sent when I open my wi-fi connection, or since they are no longer on my server… be deleted for ever!?

This is how IMAP works, if you delete from one device it will also be deleted in the other devices.
iCloud do not backup e-mails.

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 ?

SQL 2012 service accounts best practice

I'm installing SQL Server 2012 for ConfigMgr 2012 r2 and I wonder what is the best practice for SQL service accounts.
During the installation of SQL Server, in the server configuration/Service accounts menu I'm allowed to configure following service accounts: SQL Server Agent, SQL Server Agent Database Engine, SQL Server Reporting Services, SQL Server Browser.
Do I have to create separate domain user (not admin) accounts for each service and configure service principal name (SPN) for all of them?
For example: Domain user account named SQLSA for SQL Server Agent, another domain user account
SQLADBE for SQL Server Agent Database Engine etc.

During the installation of SQL Server 2012, the user is prompted to provide service account
credentials. The default service accounts suggested vary depending on whether SQL Server
2012 is installed on a computer running Windows Vista or Windows Server 2008 or on a computer
running Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2. On computers running Windows Vista
or Windows Server 2008 operating systems, the following default service accounts are used:
- NETWORK SERVICE Database Engine, SQL Server Agent, Analysis Services,
Integration Services, Reporting Services, SQL Server Distributed Replay Controller,
SQL Server Distributed Replay Client
- LOCAL SERVICE SQL Server Browser, FD Launcher (Full-Text Search)
- LOCAL SYSTEM SQL Server VSS Writer
On computers running Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2 operating systems, the following
default accounts are used:
- Virtual Account or Managed Service Account Database Engine, SQL Server Agent,
Analysis Services, Integration Services, Replication Services, SQL Server Distributed
Replay Controller, SQL Server Distributed Replay Client, FD Launcher (Full-Text Search)
- LOCAL SERVICE SQL Server Browser
- LOCAL SYSTEM SQL Server VSS Writer
For Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2, you can use a Managed Service Account
(MSA) or a Managed Local Account. The differences between these account types are as
follows:
- Managed Service Account (MSA) This special kind of domain account managed
by a domain controller is assigned to a single member computer and used for running
services. The MSA password is managed by the domain controller. MSAs can register
a Service Principal Name (SPN) with Active Directory. MSAs use a $ name suffix; for
example, CONTOSO\SQL-A-MSA$. You must create the MSA prior to running SQL
Server Setup if you want to use an MSA with SQL Server services.
- Virtual Accounts or Managed Local Accounts These virtual accounts can access
the network in a domain environment and are used by default for service accounts
during SQL Server 2012 setup when run on Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2.
Such accounts use the NT SERVICE\<SERVICENAME>format. You don’t need to specify
a password when using virtual accounts with SQL Server 2012 because this is handled
automatically by the operating system.
You should run SQL Server services, using the minimum possible user rights, and use an
MSA or virtual account when possible. If you are manually configuring service accounts, use
separate accounts for different SQL Server services. If it is necessary to change the properties
of service accounts used for SQL Server 2012, use SQL Server tools such as SQL Server
Configuration Manager. This ensures that all necessary dependencies are
updated, which does not happen if you use only the Services console.
Although you can configure domain accounts as service accounts, this strategy requires
more effort because you must ensure that service account passwords are changed regularly.
You must also manage SPNs, which are required for Kerberos authentication.

Rd web showing all remoteapps when logging in with an account of a trusted domain

we have a dmz with a separate domain. there is a one way trust to our local domain
In the dmz domain there is a rdweb and rd gateway. When logging in with an account from the dmz domain in the rdweb it's all fine but when logging in with an account from the trusted domain all remoteapp's are shown
all servers are 2012r2

Hi sir,
Please make sure your account has already added into your Pay-As-You-Go subscription as co-administrator role . If the account was not in your subscription please add it and try to login on from your VS again.
If you always occurred this issue, you can try to download the publish file and import it into you VS, please follow this steps:

SQL Cluster Service Accounts

Is it advisable to have different service accounts for the all the nodes in a cluster to avoid any potential account authentication issues or do all the nodes in cluster need to use the same account.

Hello,
If you install different instances of SQL Server on each node of SQL Server Cluster then there won't be an issue when specify SQL Server service with different services accounts. If you're using a different account for a single instance
on two different nodes, then it may cause problem. You can refer to the explanation of Sean in
this thread:
SQL Server would probably not start or at least give errors around decrypting the service master key which is encrypted at the windows level by both the service account and the computer object, since these would both be different it would
not be able to decrypt the SMK.

Domain administrator service accounts limit access to a particular server/s

We need to adjust these to adjust our service accounts and would like them to be restricted to a particular server and restrict their logon or access. Any
suggestions on how to manage this through Active Directory at an enterprise level? We want to lock down the accounts to specific servers but we can't use local admins for these particular group of accounts.
For the time being I was thinking about using AD to "logon on to" and enter the server names to limit the access but I was didn't know if there was any
better approach to the solution. Any suggestion or any other ways to configure? Caveats?

Account balance different whether stated from FS10N or ZCAL

Hello everyone,
This is a slightly difficult issue I propose to you. This is about an account balance whose value is different whether it is stated from FS10N or stated with an other transaction, ZCAL. After some investigations, the gap comes from the carry-forward, which is different whether stated from FS10N or ZCAL.
First of all, is ZCAL a standard SAP program?
If yes, what kind of check could be done?
If not, any idea?
Thanks!
Stan B.

hi Stan,
ZCAL is not standard, therefor any comparison with standard does not make much sense. A developer has to sit down and see how ZCAL works. Asking here is just wasting time, as no knows this transaction...

Why can the users in one child domain logon to computers in a different child domain in Server 2012 R2?

I have setup a test system. It has a domain with 2 child domains. DomainA.xyz.com has users and workstations. DomainB.xyz.com is a resource domain and has servers. wyx.com is for IT administration.
Users in domainA can logon to the domainB computers. I searched to find out why it was so. I found a "NT AUTHORITY\INTERACTIVE" entry in the local users group that enables this.
This is rather confusing. 1. When a user enters his credentials, he is not logged on and therefore would not be "INTERACTIVE" at that time. 2. If everybody that signs on a computer is interactive, then does that mean
everyone in the forest can sign on?
So my issue is: Can I delete the "INTERACTIVE" entry in the local users group and not cause any problems? I want to protect the resource domain from users signing on to them and give them access to the resources they need.

Hi,
The Interactive group includes all users that have logged on locally.
In addition, it is not recommended to remove the
interactive group from the local user group since it would cause all kinds of problems. For more detailed information, please refer to the similar thread and link below:

Can't connect to server domain from server

Hi,
Since 2 days ago, i stop being able to connect to server domain from its own browsers. I'll try to explai:
I've my server up and running, you can check here: http://www.servidorlocal.com. I'm able to connect to this domain from all computers inside network and from my IOS devices over 3G.
The problem is when i try to connect from the server itself (safari, chrome, etc) always give me an error telling that cannot find the host.
Trying to connect over localhost or 127.0.0.1 it also works, but with the domain didn't work...
I cant understand why.
Hope someone here can help me solving this issue.
Regards
Mozack

OK,
I've solved the problem. If someone with the same problem, here what i do:
1 - System > Preferences > Network
2 - Choose from the list the network adapter that server uses, in my case is the LAN adapter.
3 - Click Advanced
4 - Re-configure the LAN connection (even with the same data).
5 - OK, server running locally too.
Thanks

G/L Account is different when copying from a Invoice to AR Credit note

Hi,
An item managed by Item level and standard price.
On posting an AR Invoice in the row level there is an G/L acount which defaulted from the revenue account X. On copying this to a AR Credit Note the G/L Account is Y different in the item row level.
from where are these accout defaulted from G/L Account determination, item group....?
Is this correct or something that i am missing
V 2007A SP00 PL46
Regards,
Rakesh N

Hi Rakesh,
There are 2 GLs applicable to AR credit memos. As Jimmy mentioned, check the IMD record / Inventory tab to see the GL setup.
The two fields in an AR credit are: Sales Credit Account (should be your revenue account) and Sales Return Account - this one is used if an Inventory item is involved and is usually the Inventory GL (i.e. increases the $ value).
You can update your Forms Settings to view these fields on the IMD/Inventory tab window to see these fields.

Can't setup pop account and all mail deleted from server!!

Trying to set up a mail account as pop. But Mail is determined to set it as imap.
I've humoured it and gone through the process.
After clicking 'create account' it gives the message that it's downloading 500+ messages. Once it's finished, nothing is in the inbox.
To make matters worse, every single email has been deleted from the server. I do have a backup of my important emails but if this is something which is not isolated to me, then I feel sorry for anyone who does not have a backup.
So...
Is there a way to manually setup my account with settings of my choosing?
Or, is this just a case of Apple deciding whats best for me and resistance is futile?
Cheers

I'm not sure what Mail version you're using and you can't change an existing IMAP account to POP, but you can add a new pop account in Mail 6.0 in a round-about way.
When you're setting up the account it will only try it as IMAP, so in the first segment where it asks for the password, purposely enter the wrong password and click continue. An error message will result, then click continue again and you will see a new window with a pull-down menu to select POP. From there you can manually fill out the rest according to your server's settings. (Don't forget to put in the correct password this time.)
In your case, I'm not sure how your messages left your server, but if you have webmail for the account you can check the trash there. Also, you will have to delete the IMAP version of the email account before you can use the address for the new POP account setup.
Personally, I use IMAP on my iPhone and POP in Mail for a more manual control of my accounts, so I know how you feel. Hope this helps.

Is it advisable or practical to run SQL Agent with Account from another domain?

A SQL Server in domain A needs to mount databases downloaded on a weekly basis to a second SQL Server, in domain B.
Right now, the two domains, which were deliberately separated for security, have no trust.
Currently, a manager of the server in domain A uses credentials in domain B to logon to domain B and do a file copy of the databases, which he then mounts on the server in domain A.
Having noticed that the best way to place a copy of a database onto a remote server is via SQL backup, as opposed to a file copy, because it is five times faster, and suspecting that a SQL restoration
operation might be as much faster than the current file copy from domain B to A, the idea has been floated that the SQL Agent in domain A could schedule a restoration from databases residing on the hard drive of the server in domain B.
Can credentials of an account in domain B be used to drive the SQL Agent on the server in domain A, and if so, does this require the establishment of a trust? I suspect that it would, although
once a user of the server in domain A establishes a connection to a file share in domain those credentials are cached for future use.
Would using an account in domain B to logon the SQL Agent in domain A -- with or without a trust -- cause all the jobs in domain A to fail on the grounds of missing permissions?

Thank you for your prompt reply.
The FTP download seems technically feasible. But, I think, the FTP transfer would not provide the speed our organization has been looking for. We are making do with 100Mbps where we actually
need 1Gbps.
The SSIS proposal is not feasible because a trust between the two domains would not be allowed. In any event, if it were a straight file copy, not a SQL backup, we would not obtain the speed
we seek. You mention, in this context, a 'file copy.' Is this a simple copy from an arbitrary TCP port on Server B to port 445 on server A, or is it a different type of copy, such as that used when a SQL runs a backup job to a network destination?
What do you think of this: in domain B, where the files reside, use the proxy account to run a backup job to the server in domain A. That would give us the speed we need. But that would also
require a trust, wouldn't it? Is there any way to get around the need for the trust? If the backup job could run from server in domain B to the server in domain A, another job could be setup on server in domain A to complete the restore.
When I create the SQL Proxy, do I supply the name of the account in the trusting domain? When I look at the dialog for the creation of the "new proxy account" on a server without trust
connections, I am offered only two GUIDs as candidate proxies. Would that change once I create the trust, and would I be allowed to browse accounts in the trusting domain?
Are you familiar with the dramatic advantage taht a SQL backup job holds over a copy of files from point A to point B? It's something like ten times faster.
Yours,
Bob Hindla.

Is it recommended practice to add SCCM service accounts to the Domain Admins group?

I am working with an external consultant that is recommending that all of the SCCM service accounts be added to the Domain Admins group. I am not the SCCM engineer, I am the AD guy, this is the reason I am questioning this methodology. I have
read several articles that seem to provide the appropriate configuration options for all of the SCCM accounts so I see no need to allow these accounts to have Domain Admin level access to the environment. I don't see a reason for ANY of the service accounts
to have Domain Admin, let alone all of them. I have referenced several TechNet articles but there does not seem to be definitive guidance around this. Could anyone assist with settling this? Thanks in advance.

No, there's absolutely no reason for the service accounts to be domain admins.
All of the required service accounts used in a SCCM environment can be given the proper permissions given their purpose.
Example: Join Domain Account can be given the permissions to join computer objects in the very specific OU in AD, and nothing else.
Network Access Account only need read access to your distribution points.
Client Push Account needs local administrative permissions on your clients.
What i'm trying to say is. None of any of the service accounts needs to be domain admin. Hope that helps.

Powershell DSC - xSQLServerInstall - Fails When Using Domain Service Accounts

I'm using the xSQLServerInstall from
http://www.powershellmagazine.com/2014/02/09/desired-state-configuration-dsc-resource-kit-wave-2/ which I've modified to accept parameters for the SQL Server service account and the SQL Agent service account. The script runs to the point where it
validates the service accounts, then fails with an error saying it can't find the account. I'm running it in Powershell ISE as Administrator. When I run ISE under my own credentials the script fails sooner saying I lack permissions even though
I'm a local admin. Any thoughts?
