I have been able to set up an active directory login for my Azure database.
Now I want to add additional active directory logins and set their permissions
I understand that I need to use Management Studio to do this and have installed SSMS v17.8.1
I have been studying docs but I can't find the instructions
[Update]
After reading Conor's answer I was able to create the user
CREATE USER [jobuser#mydomain] FROM EXTERNAL PROVIDER WITH DEFAULT_SCHEMA=[dbo]
However if I try to login using MSSMS with Active Directory - Password authentication I get
Login failed for user 'NT AUTHORITY\ANONYMOUS LOGON' (MIcrosoft SQL Server, Error 18456)
[Update]
In the Connection Properties Tab
I had to overtype with the database name
That particular page only shows an example using a SQL login/user, so I can understand why you are confused.
Please read through this page:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/t-sql/statements/create-user-transact-sql?view=sql-server-2017
Specifically, you want to create a user using the AS EXTERNAL PROVIDER example. This tells SQL Azure (and SQL DW) to use Azure Active Directory instead of creating a SQL user. Please note that this does not (as of today) work in SQL Server. (SQL Server supports integrated authentication against a local Active Directory, but it just does not currently support the Azure Active Directory service).
Also, there is no specific requirement that you use SSMS to do this step. You can do it within SSMS, SQL Operation Studio, through one of the SQL client drivers in a program you write (or some third party program that can invoke SQL over them), sqlcmd, etc. You don't even need to have the latest SSMS to make things work (though it is recommend to get the best experience against SQL Azure including syntax highlighting).
Please give that a try and see if it gets you unblocked.
Best of Luck!
When i tried to run the .dtsx file i got the following error
The task with the name "some task" and the creation name
"SSIS.ReplacementTask" is not registered for use on this computer
I change the logon to network serivce of Sql Integeration service fron SQL server configuration but still m getting this error please help
Try this.
When you use username and password to log on to your computer, sql server need to verify the user who authorized to use the sql server service.. But sometimes sql server cannot redirect to the account, so we need to configure the user.
Here's the step :
1. open sql server configuration mangager
2. choose sql server 2005 services
3. right click sql server integration services, choose properties
4. choose log on tab, select this account, enter your username and password which is used to log on your computer.
5. reopen the business intelligence studio. There you are, the task component can work properly again.
It also might be that this is a custom component which is not installed at your global assembly cache (in case you are not running it at the server to which it was originally deployed).
I have a database set up with FILESTREAM enabled on it (if you go to Properties\Advanced on the instance, it shows that FILESTREAM is enabled). I also ran the sp_configure script on it after doing this to enable the access (to make sure it was enabled). But...as soon as I try to alter the database and add the filegroup to it, it says that the feature is disabled.
I have it enabled on other instances on the same computer, and those work fine. It is only this one that is not working. I have not been able to find any good suggestions as to why it is not working.
It is a SQL 2008 R2 instance.
I was unable to script this, (using the link provided by user1977061), as the MSSQLService requires a restart afterwards to apply the change. Even after doing this it didn't work, and instead I had to manually configure FILESTREAM usage via:
SqlServer Configuration Manager
Sql SQL Server Services
SQL Server(MSSQLSERVER) [Properties]
FILESTREAM tab - enable the first 2, and optionally 3rd check box.
Look at the SQLServer properties > Advanced > Running Values value for "Filestream Access Level" to ensure that the FILESTREAM is actually enabled if in doubt.
Was FILESTREAM enabled on the instance level, though?
In Microsoft Sql Server Management Studio, right-click the server and select Properties. Then on the Advanced page, ensure that FILESTREAM Access Level is not set to Disabled (Which I believe is default):
Changing the FILESTREAM settings through SQL Server Management Studio -> Properties -> Advanced had no effect for me, and SQL Server Configuration Manager kept giving me an error when I enabled FILESTREAM there:
There was an unknown error applying the FILESTREAM settings.
Check the parameters are valid. (0x80041008)
Digging around on the internet led me here as well as to this page: https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/forums/sqlserver/en-US/d8060fdd-4583-4bf7-bdcf-4fd053d5d2c0/unknown-error-applying-the-filestream-settings
Fortunately one of the suggestions there was the solution. Connect to the server with SQL Server Management Studio and run this script:
sp_configure 'filestream access level', 2
reconfigure with override
Note: This was for 64-bit SQL Server 2012
For me this worked out:
forget about Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio to solve this bug
find SQLServerManager**.msc in folder C:\Windows\SysWOW64 and open it
enable filestream as in the picture, by clicking on properties
Database import should work then!
I've done this a thousand times and always follow the steps as Mojo outlines above. However I found that on one computer I couldn't get this to work unless I changed SQL Server Service from running as NT Service to running under a local account. I even reinstalled SQL Server, no luck.
I did as follows:
Click start
Type 'compmgmt.msc'
Expand 'Services and Applications'
Sql Server Configuration
Right Click on 'SQL Server (MSSQLSERVER)' and choose 'Properties'
On the Log On tab, change the user to a local account
Maybe one day this will save someone from banging their head on their desk until their eyeballs pop-out.

I had the same problem in which only one instance didn't activate filestream properly. The solution seems to be to use the SQL Server Configuration Manager and enable it from there.
In addition to the other answers: the account that is used by the sql server service must be a member of the Administrators group.
Symptom: the "Configured value" in the server properties does show "enabled", but the "Running value" stays at "disabled".
I got this working by enabling filestream not in SQL Management Studio but in SQL Configuration Manager. See https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/relational-databases/blob/enable-and-configure-filestream?view=sql-server-2017.
On the Start menu, point to All Programs, point to SQL Server, point to Configuration Tools, and then click SQL Server Configuration Manager.
In the list of services, right-click SQL Server Services, and then click Open.
In the SQL Server Configuration Manager snap-in, locate the instance of SQL Server on which you want to enable FILESTREAM.
Right-click the instance, and then click Properties.
In the SQL Server Properties dialog box, click the FILESTREAM tab.
Select the Enable FILESTREAM for Transact-SQL access check box.
If you want to read and write FILESTREAM data from Windows, click Enable FILESTREAM for file I/O streaming access. Enter the name of the Windows share in the Windows Share Name box.
If remote clients must access the FILESTREAM data that is stored on this share, select Allow remote clients to have streaming access to FILESTREAM data.
Click Apply.
In SQL Server Management Studio, click New Query to display the Query Editor.
In Query Editor, enter the following Transact-SQL code:
SQL
Copy
EXEC sp_configure filestream_access_level, 2
RECONFIGURE
Click Execute.
Restart the SQL Server service.
For me only the combination of SchmitzIT and Mojo suggestions made it work
I also stumbled into this problem and by trial and error i found out that the solution was to change the account under which Sql Server runs so from SS Configuration manager i located the sql server instante, right clicked "Properties" and on the "LOg On" tab i changed Logon as "This account" to "Bulil-in account", where i choose "Local system".
After a service restart all went fine.
I have a problem in activating the filestream feature in sql server 2008
I have done the following steps but could not succeeded..
1) ran the sql server management studio as an administrator, right click the server instance and Facets, dialog is opened from dropdown select sever configuration and from list select FileStreamAccessLevel and set to FullAcess and then restart the instance. Then I run the query and i again get the error FILESTREAM feature is disabled. Then I again perform the previous steps to saw whether Filestream is enabled or not, I saw that it is still disabled.

2) I also open the MSSQLSERVER properties, and I found that the FileStream Tab is not present, I don't know why ? I have installed all the featuers of sql server 2008 developer edition including full text search, analysis services, integration serv etc.

3) I also ran the spconfigure command but still not suceeded. I open the server instance properties, select Advanced from the left pane, and on File Stream Access level I select Full acess enabled, below a radio button is present with name configured values, currently it is select, but when I select running values, it displays FileStream is disabled.

4) I also open sql sever config manager, select sql services but nothing appears, see the below image.

Please help me in solving this problem
Thanks
Install the latest service pack, this should fix the configuration manager issue, which will allow you to properly configure filestream.
According to the documentation, you need to enable it from SQL Server Configuration Manager.
EDIT: You didn't mention that you had already followed the documentation, nor that you can't see any services in the SSCM. According to various Google hits such as this MS forum discussion, limited permissions on the NETWORK SERVICE account could cause this problem.
The problem is I have full access to the server where the Sharepoint site is hosted etc, however all i've ever done is maintained the site. I didn't set it up.
There is now an issue where Sharepoint can't connect to the Config or Content databases. I don't know which of our servers run these, so is there anyway I can find out, maybe from a config file or anything which server/database I need to check.
Other websites on the web server are still running fine, I know the database isn't on that same server because i've checked.
Any ideas?
I normally find the easiest way is to look at the site collections settings in Central Administration (which you should be able to access if you have root access to the server WSS 3.0 runs on)
Take the following steps once in the Central Administration site:
Go into Application Management
Go into Content Databases
Select your web application using the selector which is orange in the top right of the main content of the page
Click the name of the database displayed
Once you are at the final point you should see at the top information for Database Server and SQL Server Database Name. Hopefully this should point you in the right direction of where your database is being stored.
If your access to the database content database is cut due to incorrect login details to the SQL server (i.e. the SA account's password has changed), the SQL credentials can be updated here too for the selected content database.
Hope this helps.
