I am in the process of implementing a four-node PolyServe cluster. What I have found is that the installation in PolyServe is not the same as MSCS...

Inside SQL Server, these groups are given permissions. On the OS, these groups have permissions to the file directories. I'm sure PolyServe has some way of handling it, because of...

What type of app is it? If it's a web application, say ASP.NET-based, you can specify...

No, any DSN will have this issue. Are the user accounts in a trusted domain compared to the server where SQL Server is installed? You'll need to verify this with...

You can create the credential, but that requires SQL Server to store the password in an encrypted format. With respect to Profiler or traces, the command will be obscured by...

For #1, yes, via brute force for sure. While it is theoretically possible that a decryption algorithm may be found, usually it's typical for researchers to instead focus on finding...

Then that means there is a trust relationship, which is why your system administrator is insisting on Windows authentication. However, when you configure a System DSN, it's going to use...

You can make a connection from the system in question using Windows authentication? Or are you connecting from your workstation/laptop and not the server in question?

If the computer attempting...

You also have to worry about ALTER TABLE. Here I explain the issue and why the DDL trigger works:

Granting limited permissions to create views in another schema in SQL Server...

You shouldn't be storing passwords using an algorithm which allows for the encryption to be reversed (for the passwords to be decrypted). Rather, you should be using a hash function....
