Distributed query

First question : what are the necessary step to allow remote access (linked
server) using Windows logging and no Active Directory available
I tried the following without success
EXEC sp_addlinkedsrvlogin 'sql2k5', 'false', 'Soline\myLogin',
'sql2k5\mylogin', 'remotepassword'
but when I map to sa remote server login it works fine, so my questions
A - Does that mean that we can not map windows login as far as delegation
is not possible becaus of non existance of AD?
B - what are the min requirements (privilges) to be given to login rather
then "SA" login on the server leveland on the DB level in order to be able t
o
run distributed query. what I mean by that is there any good step by step
procedure to follow to implment this using min priviliges on both sides as o

Lcris blog regarding "Cross database access"Hi,
If you would like to use Windows login without AD to access linked servers,
the Windows Authentication is NTLM then.
It is required to create a same user with same password on each machine.
For your two questions:
> A - Does that mean that we can not map windows login as far as delegation
is not possible becaus of non existance of AD?
If there is no AD, please manually create the Windows user with the same
password on both machine.

> B - what are the min requirements (privilges) to be given to login rather
then "SA" login on the server leveland on the DB level in order to be able
to run distributed query.

"Cross database access"
If you just want to query the database, the min requirements is that the
user corresponed to the login needs db_datareader permission.
First create a login on the remote server, double click the login, switch
to the User Mapping, map the login to a user of the database, and assign
db_datareader permission;
Then on your local server, execute the SPs as following:
sp_addlinkedserver 'mySqlServer-03'
sp_addlinkedsrvlogin 'mySqlServer-03',false,NULL,'s1','s1'
Hope this helps. If you have any other questions or concerns, please feel
free to let me know.
Have a good day!

Dissociation between DTS and Scheduled Job

Hi,

I've got a DTS package with a single step that runs an exe via Process Task. The DTS runs fine when I execute it manually, but when I schedule the package, the job says it runs successfully, but does not execute the package. Now, a few facts:

The DTS is owned by user1
The Job is owned by user1
All security credentials match up
The exe is on a network with full unc path specified
SQLAgent service is running in user1's context
All user input is on the actual SQL server, but exe is on network


When I change the DTS from running the exe to performing a simple query, the job executes the DTS just fine. When I move the exe from the network and place it locally on the server, the job still won't execute the DTS. What am I missing here? This is driving me crazy!!Shameless newbie bump...|||View the job history. Click the checkbox to show detail. Is there anything interesting there?

-PatP|||Hi Pat,

The job history tells me that all scheduled runs were successes, that the last step to run was step 1 (the only step), but the run time was one or two seconds. This one step that runs, however, should take between 2 and 3 minutes to complete (and does when DTS is executed manually).

That's all I get from the job history...

TIA|||SQLAgent service is running in user1's context
All user input is on the actual SQL server, but exe is on network

How is that possible?

In all my experience when a DTS package runs when manually executed, it's running under the context of the client, when scheduled, it runs under the context of the server...

Drive mappings and Security have always been the reason as to why the scheduled job fails...

Another reason why I stopped using DTS a long time agao for ANY production processes...
