  • RE: Migrate SQL 2000 Logins to SQL 2005

    It's using the proper T-SQL command for SQL Server 2005 and above. You can see it here:

    -- Login: BUILTIN\Administrators

    IF NOT EXISTS (SELECT * FROM sys.server_principals WHERE [name] = 'BUILTIN\Administrators')

  • RE: Security Principle questions

  • RE: View Definitions

    Did you grant VIEW DEFINITION on a particular database per chance? If you granted VIEW ANY DEFINITION, as long as they have the ability to access the database, they should...

  • RE: Lock login at specific date

    The only gotcha with logon triggers is if there is an issue with one, it will prevent all logons except through the DAC.

  • RE: Migrate SQL 2000 Logins to SQL 2005

    If you're dealing with SQL Server 2000 and below, here's the query that will reveal the Windows logins you have:

    SELECT name FROM syslogins WHERE isntname = 1;

  • RE: Database user and Login mapping

    Since you're using SQL Server 2005, the catalog views you'll want to use are sys.server_principals and sys.database_principals (in each database). If you were using SQL Server 2000 or prior, you'd...

  • RE: Security Principle questions

  • RE: SQL Server 2008 Evaluation period expired. Can't use SSMS.

    SQL Server MVP Jonathan Kehayias has posted a workaround he has found. It'll still mean you have to run an upgrade, but you won't have uninstall/reinstall.

  • RE: View Definitions

  • RE: Removing a guest user from system databases

    No. You cannot remove from master and tempdb for sure. While it is possible in SQL Server 2000 for msdb, it shouldn't be done there. It's not supported in later...

    Thanks for the info..

    Just so that we're clear, are you saying that I don't even have to load a Cert for the traffic to be encrypted and the...

  • RE: Securing SQl Authentication

    There isn't anything you need to do. Starting with SQL Server 2005, SQL Server uses TLS to encrypt the logon packets. It'll use its own self-signed cert if necessary. So...

  • RE: Any word on when the next major release of Sql Server will be?

    There's been no official announcement beyond the BI upgrades, so far as I am aware. However, the updates such as Policy Management are certainly worth the upgrade now.

  • RE: Passwords - case sensitive in Login using SQL Server Authentication
