hi
Could someone please tell me how I can kill user connection by using SQL agent job or any auto job?
It because we have backup plan which runs every morning 12am. Some of our developers doesn't like to shutdown the their computer and even SQL Enterprise Manager they just locked the computer and go home. Result is back plan fail to proceed as someone got connection to database but they not using it.
That was the reason I am looking if I could kill all user process at 11pm every night. Is it possible??

How do you perform the backup? If it is SQL Server backup with backup database command, It doesn't matter whether you have users connecting to the database.

What error message did you receive when your backup plan failed?

I guess you choose 'database integrity check' option with 'attempt to fix any minor error' in your maintenance plan, Can you comfirm that?

'database integrity check' not been selected in my backup plans.

I think there is a script in the script library that will kill all connections in a database. Just search for kill users, or something like that. If you can't find one, I've got one.

Enable 'text report' by going plan properties --> reporting tab --> check 'write report to a text file ...', rerun the job --> review the text report to see any useful information.

I found the script out there. Search for "Kill all Connections".

That should do you.

Thanks Tom

Kill the user's connection is not the solution to resolve the backup failure. We are running 7X24 and get backup done well.

I agree, I usually write my own scripts to do backups and dbcc's, and have never run into a problem with backing up the database. I would profile the machine when the job kicks off and see what is actually happening.
