SQL 2005 Security

  • Hello,

    we have a cluster server with 2 nodes.

    1. ClusterAdmin is Sysadminand runns Cluster services.

    2. DBAdmin is Sysadmin and runs SQL server, Agent and SSIS.

    3. NT AUTHORITY\NETWORK SERVICE is DBCreator, SecurityAdmin and runs the below services SQL Active directory helper, Distributed Transaction Coordinator, Performance Logs and Alerts.

    4. NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM is Sysadmin and nothing related to SQL.

    can i run all the services mention above on DBadmin and diable all the other users mentioned.

    kindly give suggestions.

    Regards

  • yes, no.

    We run cluster services using its own service account and use sqlserver (domain) service accounts for every sqlserver service.

  • hope i'll change cluster user access to public rather than sysadmin.

    any points about 3 & 4.

    cluster service account only needs "login" on your sqlserver instance. That's all.

    We remove all " NT AUTHORITY\*" because we use proper windows service accounts wherever needed.
