Most installs I do, I do everything with a service account (all operations are carried out while logged in as the service account), then lock it down after. Saves so much grief down the road.
When it comes time to apply a big update, or upgrade the system, you just reverse the lockdown settings, and use your service account. Another perk, when your DBA locks out their account due to a password change and having remote sessions, it wont lock out critical business databases :D Christopher Catlett Consultant | Detroit [MCTS_2013_small] Sogeti USA Office 248-876-9738 |Fax 877.406.9647 26957 Northwestern Highway, Suite 130, Southfield, MI 48033-8456 www.us.sogeti.com<http://www.us.sogeti.com/> From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Roland Janus Sent: Monday, November 18, 2013 1:50 PM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [mssms] RE: help !! - sql sid's You're saying you recommend to install everything with a service account? -R From: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Sent: Montag, 18.

So I was bashing away like a karate student wondering why I couldnt get me as the owner; stumbled across a blog that reveresed the proposition, ie made sa the owner again using alter authorization. This worked straight away; I have done three times my sql quota for the year, lost weight and got a headache. The next time someone says "just move the log files to another volume"; I'll ignore them.

Hit a snag with the "Trustworthy" issue; resolved that. System up and consoles connecting, but I can't import any new devices using the name/mac screen. Error states, "could not get next available key"......... the db owner sid recorded in the master db differs from the db owner sid recorded in "mt sccm db". Correct this using Alter authorization, blah blah. The issue I have is I'm not sure what to compare to find the difference; and as luck would have it, large migration tonight and need to add some devices. ANy thoughts? Stuart Watret Offshore - IT Ltd
