I'll look for or create a script for linked servers;

the problem is the credentials for the remote user, if you identify one, cannot be scripted out, because they are part of a CREDENTIAL object;

i did see a blog post about doing it via powershell, but i don't know if the password issue occurs there yet, either.

you can do it one by one via the GUI:

For Jobs,

from another post that just happened today, i just tested this and it ran fine:

For jobs, I would rather use a VB script. The TSQL method puts a limitation on the length of a job step that is being scripted.

Here's a Powershell version. Use the first line if you're running from a Powershell session with SQL 2008 DLLs. The second line if you only have SQL 2005 SMO installed and the third line if all else fails.

Add-Type -AssemblyName "Microsoft.SqlServer.Smo, Version=10.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=89845dcd8080cc91" -EA Stop

# Add-Type -AssemblyName "Microsoft.SqlServer.Smo, Version=9.0.242.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=89845dcd8080cc91" -EA Stop

# [System.Reflection.Assembly]::LoadWithPartialName('Microsoft.SqlServer.SMO') | Out-Null

$server = 'Your_Server_Name_Here'

$srvObj = new-object -TypeName Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo.Server -ArgumentList $server

## Jobs

$outFile = "${server}_Jobs.sql"

if (Test-Path $outFile ) { Remove-Item $outFile }

$srvObj.JobServer.Jobs | foreach { $_.Script() | Out-File $outFile -Append }

## Linked Servers

$outFile = "${server}_LinkedServers.sql"

if (Test-Path $outFile ) { Remove-Item $outFile }

$srvObj.LinkedServers | foreach { $_.Script() | Out-File $outFile -Append }

## Logins

$outFile = "${server}_Logins.sql"

if (Test-Path $outFile ) { Remove-Item $outFile }

$srvObj.Logins | foreach { $_.Script() | Out-File $outFile -Append }

Powershell has the same issue with the passwords for both logins and linked servers.

Linked server will show

/* For security reasons the linked server remote logins password is changed with ######## */

And Logins have this warning

/* For security reasons the login is created disabled and with a random password. */

That is the location and name of the file that will have all the create job commands. Replace the directory with the directory you want the file to be stored.

You can run this as a VB script job step.

Please show me the line where it does that. I have no malicious intent so if the script does that then I will remove my script and never use it.

The script will only generate the commands based on the current settings of your logins and users.

If a particular login is currently configured to be denied access or be part of db_denydatareader & db_denydatawriter then it will simply generate the commands.

But under no circumstances it is supposed to generate a DENY command based on an existing login that is part of SYSADMIN but not part of db_denydatareader or db_denydatawriter

Please check the output of the script once you run it and take a look at the settings of the login/user. I am sure the particular user you are referring to is already part of db_denydatareader & db_denydatawriter.

Where did you get that script?

Try running it on a production box.:w00t:

I had a Developer who was a member of the fixed database role db_owner and it added him to the db_denydatereader and db_denydatawriter.

savethytrees SSCommitted Points: 1968 More actions · Answer 11

I found the script from here

http://www.sqlteam.com/forums/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=111431

I have tested the script several times and not once it has generated a DENY command for users that are not part of the db_denydatareader or db_denydatawriter.

It fetches the current status using the following SQL

SELECT p.sid, p.name, p.type, p.is_disabled, p.default_database_name, l.hasaccess, l.denylogin

FROM

sys.server_principals p LEFT JOIN sys.syslogins l

ON ( l.name = p.name )

WHERE p.type IN ( 'S', 'G', 'U' ) AND p.name = 'yourlogin'

And then checks and generates that command using the following SQL

IF (@denylogin = 1)

BEGIN -- login is denied access

SET @tmpstr = @tmpstr + '; DENY CONNECT SQL TO ' + QUOTENAME( @name )

END

Later it gets the databaseroles using the following SQL

Select name FROM [@DB_Name].[sys].[database_principals]

WHERE [principal_id]

IN (SELECT [role_principal_id] FROM [@DB_Name].[sys].[database_role_members]

WHERE [member_principal_id] = @DB_principal_id)

To find the principal Id run the following SQL

SELECT u.[principal_id], l.[name], u.default_schema_name

FROM [@DB_Name].[sys].[database_principals] u

INNER JOIN [master].[sys].[server_principals] l

ON u.[sid] = l.[sid]

WHERE u.[name] = '@youruser'

I am sure that the developer you are referring to, was already a part of db_denydatareader and db_denydatawriter.

II am sure that the developer you are referring to, was already a part of db_denydatareader and db_denydatawriter.

Someone had to change the permission later this afternoon because he was in one of the databases today.

Lowell,

I get errors on the lines that have this statement (3):

WHILE (@JobControl <= @MaxJobs)

If you already responded, I apologize.

I'm still trying to script the maintenace jobs.

I tried restoring MSDB with the following.:w00t:

RESTORE DATABASE MSDB

FROM DISK = 'msdb_backup_201201181321.bak'

WITH REPLACE,

MOVE 'MSDB' TO 'D:\SQLServer\Data\MSDB.mdf',

MOVE 'MSDB_log' TO 'D:\SQLServer\Log\MSDB.ldf'

Msg 3201, Level 16, State 2, Line 1

Cannot open backup device 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.1\MSSQL\Backup\msdb_backup_201201181321.bak'. Operating system error 2(The system cannot find the file specified.).

Msg 3013, Level 16, State 1, Line 1

RESTORE DATABASE is terminating abnormally.
