I want to fully secure the msde so that noone can access it not even Windows Administrators. So how to drop all the permissions on my database except sa. hope u got my point

  • Deny Builtin/Administrators access

    -------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Normal chaos will be resumed as soon as possible. :crazy:

  • Problem is that msde will be installed along with the setup program of the Application. So I what script should i run to deny the builtin/Administrators access. And also can someone later grant this access again?

  • If yo uare going down this road then you should

    a) Make sure that you provide tools to do things like backup / restore, consistency checks, etc

    b) Be aware that any server admin can stop your MSSQLServer service, copy the .mdf & .ldf files and attach them to another server

    Cheers.
