Have no access and unable to administer

  • IKON installed Fortis. Anything beyond the workings of their software and they have someone on the east coast call me back. Usually hours and hours later. I will ask them again.

    Oddly though there are two instances of sqlserver running in the task manager there is only one in services and it is Backup Exec.

    Check both under SQL and under Microsoft. The different versions give the services different descriptive names.

    Agreed that you should be speaking to the vendor on this.

  • Found it.

    The other is...

    Service Name: MSSQLSERVER

    Display Name: MSSQLSERVER

  • Ok. What does the services dialog give as the path to the executable?

    Is the other one something like MSSQL$BACKUPEXEC ?

  • C:\PROGRAM FILES\MICROSOFT SQL SERVER\MSSQL\BINN\SQLSERVER.EXE -sMSSQLSERVER

    C:\PROGRAM FILES\MICROSOFT SQL SERVER\MSSQL.1\MSSQL\BINN\SQLSERVER.EXE -sBKUPEXEC

    C:\PROGRAM FILES\MICROSOFT SQL SERVER\MSSQL\BINN\SQLSERVER.EXE -sMSSQLSERVER

    I have an odd feeling that is a SQL 2000 instance. The directory is wrong for SQL 2005 (which uses the MSSQL.1, MSSQL2. format)

    Can you navigate to that directory (C:\PROGRAM FILES\MICROSOFT SQL SERVER\MSSQL\BINN), find the SQL executable (sqlservr.exe), right click the file, get the properties, go to the details tab and get the version of the file.

    General question to anyone reading: Anyone know if SQL 2000 allowed a local admin to connect if it was started in single user mode? I know 2005 and 2008 do, can't remember for 2000 and I don't have an instance to test on.

  • Yup, that's SQL 2000, not 2005 at all.

    I just need to check and see of the 'backdoor' admin access worked on SQL 2000.
