True 'dat!

And the user just informed me that two of the four lines I found are "old" services. Which makes me wonder if this isn't the source of her testing pain.

EXCELLENT. That gave me exactly what I needed. Vended solution services somehow set up inside of SQL Server.

Now I just need to figure out how to fix the problem, which...

Big shop or small shop?

I was just reflecting this morning that the employer I currently work for has both. One small unit that has its own collection of  DBAs, about...

That did not come up in Google. I just looked at it, and the principal ID for all lines is dbo, not the SQL login in question.

Is "name" in that...

And now the non-obsolete version that appears to work as well (possibly better?).

$IPAddys = Import-Csv C:\TEMP\FailedSQLLoginSearch_AllSvrs.csv | Select-Object -Property ServerName, LoginName, HostName -Unique 
$results=@()
Foreach ($ips in $IPAddys)

Yes, I was messing around and forgot to change xlxs to csv.

Oddly, I'm not getting a file created with your posted suggestion. I'm going to noodle around a little more...

Sigh. I wish I could take comfort in "Your emergency is not my emergency." Sadly, my job makes other people's emergencies my emergency.

Any powershell gurus around? I'm still in my...

YAY! WITH EXECUTE AS OWNER solved my issue. No extra permissions required, no impersonation permission granted to the user group. Thank you all so much! I appreciate you.

AOR = Area of Responsibility. Think of it like departments or smaller chunks of a business division. I am separating out their jobs from the jobs owned by the DBAs...

OKAY. Now the WITH EXECUTE AS <user> / OWNER is the syntax I could not for the life of me find. I might try that.

The security is being implemented across...

Another approach would be to sign the stored procedure and create a certificate user in MSDB with appropriate permissions. It can get a bit involved but the following may...
