  • RE: Sql Server 2000 security patch from bulletin MS03-31

    I've not seen any issues myself. Have you encountered any?

  • RE: SQL Server Data and Object Encryption

    Passwords are encrypted for SQL Server logins (you can see this in sysxlogins). If you are doing application-based logins where you are storing username/passwords in a database table, no, SQL...

  • RE: cluster.exe/copy master.mdf

    replication or log shipping... either one would do here.

  • RE: Deny Access to Builtin\Administrators

    It was probably because of FTI. The cluster service and SQL Server themselves do not come in through the local System account. One option here may be to set FTI's...

  • RE: Starting and stopping service with a script

    sc.exe has been around since NT 4 in the Resource Kits. I think it's now included in XP and 2003. It'll allow you to handle services both locally and remotely....

  • RE: Failover and DB Clustering

  • RE: cluster.exe/copy master.mdf

    We have cited the use of the rebuildm.exe utility. This has worked in our DR testing though usually there we are not restoring clusters to clustered equipment but rather normal...

  • RE: cluster.exe/copy master.mdf

    Yes, you would use cluster.exe to issue a command to either take the resource group offline or take the individual SQL Server resource off-line. This would also take SQL Agent...

  • RE: my ISP won''''t open port 1433

    Um, they are wrong.

    SQL Slammer went after the SQL Server listener service which is on udp/1434. This has nothing to do with tcp/1433. Granted, there were a couple of worms...

  • RE: Get data from Active Directory and store onto SQL server

    ADSI is a system component in Windows 2000. It's not installed by default under NT 4.0 (as would be expected since NT 4.0 preceded AD). If you're on NT 4.0...
