TF400997: Configuring Scheduled backup with TFS 2013 - sql

I am getting TF400997 when I am trying to configure TFS Scheduled backup using TFS Admin console. Here is my setup:
SQL Server name: Machine1
SQL Server service running under: sqlserverservice#domain.com (which is a domain user and local admin on Machine1 and Machine2)
SQL Server agent service running under: sqlserverservice#domain.com
TFS server name: Machine2
TFS service running under: tfsservice#domain.com (local admin on Machine2 and Machine1)
Network backup path: \Machine2\Backup (gave full permission to sqlserverservice#domain.com on Backup folder)
This is what I am getting while verifying the settings and it does not allow me to setup scheduled backup:
Google this already and it looks like my setup should work, Can anyone please help?

Please try this one:
configure your SQL Account to run under domain\tfsservice instead of tfsservice#domain.com
configure your TFSBackup

Backup is executed by TFS Job Service: check also TFS user's permissions.

The network share has to have computer (machine) based security rights. Here are the steps you have to do:
Open the properties of the shared folder on target machine.
Open the "Security" tab
Click on "Edit" button under the "Group or user names" frame. This will open the folder permissions window
Click "Add" on the "Permissions for ..." window. This will open the user/group selection window
Click "Object Types" button on the selection window. This will open the "Object Types" window
Select "Computers" on the "Object Types" window. Click on "Ok". This will close the "Object Types" window
Enter the target machine name into the object name frame. You can use the "Check Names" button to validate the name or use the "Advanced" button to select the computer from the domain objects list. Click on "Ok" and close the user/group selection window
Select the recently added computer object on the permissions window and give it the required permissions.
Close the remaining windows by clicking "Ok"
and voila!
The only tip I could mention is that you shouldn't use a subfolder from another share. It's possible but most probably you would end up dealing with mixed permissions.
PS: The SQL Service on TFS should be either in "Network Service" or "SYSTEM" context. Local account service logons won't gain access to the network share with these steps.

go to services and make this service SQL Server(SQLEXPRESS) log on as administrator

Installing Teamcity build agent as a user: failed to install the service. selected account does not have enough rights

I want to install a TeamCity BuildAgend as a user. When entering my user credentials here:
I always get this error:
NOTE: My account (user) is Administrator with full permission!
How can I do this?
The error message says it does not have "enough rights to run as a service",
this is slightly different from just being an administrator.
Go to Control Panel> Administrative Tools> Local Security Policy.
Select Local Policies> User Rights Assignment.
Scroll down through the list of policies and look for Log on as a service.
Add the account you're using to the list of accounts with this right.
That should in theory be all you need to allow the service to run under that user.
The best powershell command that I have found for this is:
Grant-Privilege -Identity $SERVICE_USERNAME -Privilege SeServiceLogonRight
Requires use of the Carbon framework.
I'm a Windows 10 Home user and the steps above did not work for me, but the following did:
Enable gpedit.msc by running the batch file as explained here under Method 1: https://www.askvg.com/how-to-enable-group-policy-editor-gpedit-msc-in-windows-7-home-premium-home-basic-and-starter-editions/
Run gpedit.msc
Go to Local Computer Policy / Computer Configuration / Windows Settings / Security Settings / Local Policies / User Rights Assignment
Double-click Log on as a service
On the window that appears, click Add User or Group...
Enter your username and click the Check Names button
Your name will be modified, adding the machine name as the prefix. Click OK
Click OK on the Log on as a service Properties window to apply the change.
It is a little bit of a pain, but after doing that, I was able to continue installing TeamCity

remote sc OpenSCManager query failed 5 access denied

I'm writing a script that periodically checks that certain services are running on remote workstations. I'm having a devil of a time getting an "SC \workst1 query" command working from one test machine to another. Both machines are running XP pro SP3. Neither is part of a domain. Both are in the same workgroup, and the administrator accounts have the same passwords.
I keep getting the "[SC] OpenSCManager FAILED 5: Access is denied" message, from either workstation to the other. I have tried using elevated privileges on both. Windows firewall software is turned off. There are no messages are showing up in the Event security logs. When (as administrator) I try going to "Computer Management" -> "connect to another computer" and access the remote services I get "Error 5 Access is denied".
I can set up a filesystem share between the two machines successfully, and "net use \workst1\IPC$ /user:Administrator" completes successfully, but the SC query still fails. I'm using IP addresses and not hostnames in these commands, but that doesn't help. I don't know what else to try. Thanks for the help.
Try to run the commans as a Administrator
start-> (type cmd in search box), right click on cmd, Run as a administrator -> execute your command
You must have administrative rights on the remote machine.
Moreover you must access the drive before calling "sc".
This can be achieved in command line using
net use \\remotemachine\admin$ <password> /user:<username>
admin$ is a hidden shared drive accessible to administrators that "sc" uses to control services.
I was having the same issue today trying to check if a service is enabled remotely.
I could solve the issue modifying the User Account Control for remote restrictions in windows:
To disable UAC remote restrictions, follow these steps:
Click Start, click Run, type regedit, and then press ENTER.
Locate and then click the following registry subkey: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System
If the LocalAccountTokenFilterPolicy registry entry does not exist,
follow these steps:
On the Edit menu, point to New, and then click DWORD Value. Type LocalAccountTokenFilterPolicy, and then press ENTER.
Right-click LocalAccountTokenFilterPolicy, and then click Modify. In the Value data box, type 1, and then click OK.
Exit Registry Editor.
More information about this solution in this site.
Your user should be remote, from Manage and Local users and groups
The UAC issue is obvious you have to pull down the lever for UAC setting
Also while installing the services you can use the following command
SC create SERVICENAME DisplayName= "DISPLAYNAME" binPath= "PATH OF EXE" start= disabled type= share

User '' does not have required permissions, SSRS 2008 on Windows 8

When you try to log into SSRS's root site at http:// (servername)/Reports it displays:
User '' does not have required permissions. Verify that sufficient permissions have been granted and Windows User Account Control (UAC) restrictions have been addressed.
This is on a 64 bit edition of Windows 8 Pro, running SQL Server 2008 enterprise. Everything should be using the local system as the account of execution.
I have tried changing the execution account as my user which is admin, I have added the site as the trusted site, I have UAC turned completely off, I have tried to hit the site with IE AS ADMIN, Chrome, and Firefox. Everything I try the site states back that I don't have the rights. I go into SQL Server and ensure my roles are everything for my user. It does not care. I am currently reinstalling the SSRS node of the SQL Server install but am curious if anyone else had this issue yet.
I am going to try to change my account to a 'local' account as I am thinking that may be an issue yet I don't understand why SQL Server can recognize my login integrated just fine. Honestly I never ran into this and am wondering if this is an issue just with Windows 8 accessing SQL Server 2008. I would upgrade but I have a full version of SQL Server 2008 and not of 2012 so I am hesitant to just upgrade unless Express 2012 will come with Business Intelligence Development Studio and SSRS site with tools.
EDIT: 3-8-2016:
No answer with: "Just turn on site settings" is valid as this is the first time installing as the admin of the server or machine locally and not able to access the landing page as that admin.
No answer with: "Just run IE as admin" will work last I tested that.
Answers with "Trusted SITE settings MAY WORK" on Windows 8 and higher as I had a similar problem to this with Windows 10 and on Windows 10 it did fix it. I am not going to rollback two OS versions to check at home though, sorry.
I don't get how this question can be existing for a while and people are now on a mission to claim it is duplicate when the very answer is different than the potential duplicate. That whole thread deals with someone able to get into the site with elevated permission and just not setting up roles and users after the fact. This is the main user of the machine not getting to the landing page as an admin to the site listed as the default landing. Not even the same ballpark. Getting into a page as an admin to let local users in versus the highest level God user not getting in is not the same.
Everything in this answer is true but don't reinstall all of SSRS thats nonsense...
Windows 8
Disable UAC
Enable Administrator Account (You can go to Control Panel > Computer Management > Users)
Restart PC
Run IE ad Administrator when prompted login with your local Administrator account you enabled.
You will need to adjust site settings security and folder settings security. Easy fast fix just add "Everyone" in both of those with full rights.
Problem solved!
I ran into the same issue myself but with Windows 7 and SQL Server 2008. I resolved the issue following the instructions from Suresh Kumar's blog post at http://skamie.wordpress.com/2010/06/24/ssrs-and-uac/
In a nutshell here are the steps you need to take to resolve this issue:
Start your browser using 'run as Administrator'.
Navigate to the report manager and under Site Settings -> Security assign your account or the local administrators group to the System Administration role.
Then navigate to the home folder and under the security settings assign your account or the local administrators group to the Browser, Conent Manager, My Reports, Publisher and Report Builder roles.
Now you should be able to run your browser as normal and access SSRS without any issues.
Okay this is really annoying what needed to be done but here goes.
From what I kept reading Windows 8 does not by default enable the default administrator account.
I usually don't use this account but in this case I was desperate as my account could not get in.
I understand ONCE YOU ARE IN you can set the site settings, that does not help if you cannot even see the site's main landing page to see that setting.
The steps I took to finally resolve were;
Uninstall SSRS Node COMPLETELY by going to control panel>SQL Server 2008>Remove>Check Reporting Services
Enable default admin account: command prompt>run as administrator>net user administrator p#ssw0rD, hit enter.
New line: net user administrator /active:yes
Reboot
Reinstall SSRS from disc with logging in as default administrator
Install SP3 as administrator
Go to IE.exe DIRECTLY in Windows 8: C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe>Run as administrator.
Go to http:// (servername)/Reports
You SHOULD now be able to finally see site settings. NOW YOU CAN FOLLOW everyone's directions of adding YOUR USER under site settings. Also go to folder permissions and add the user as a default here as well.
(optional) For safety I would hide the default admin account now by using step 2 but substitute /active:no in.
If your main admin can't open the door, no one is getting in. That was the main issue I was having. My default admin could not get in. Now everything is working fine and dandy like it should with deploying from BIDS as well.
I had the same problem on my Windows 8 system (32 bit) with SQL Server 2008R2. When I started IE using 'run as Administrator' it still asked for a user name and password and resulted in "user does not have permissions"-error when I entered my user name and password. This is what fixed it for me:
I disabled UAC in the registry (Set HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System\EnableLUA to 0). I first set notify-level under Control Panel | System and Security | Change User Account Control to the lowest level but that didn't make any difference.
After reboot I started IE using 'run as Administrator'. Went to Report Manager | Site Settings | Security: added my account as System administrator.
Still in Report Manager I went to Home | Folder Settings and added my account with role Content Manager.
I enabled UAC through Control Panel | System and Security | Change User Account Control settings by setting it to default level again. (Reboot required)
When I run IE as Administrator now and supply my user name and password it does show the homepage of the report manager.
Run Internet Explorer as administrator (right click on the Taskbar icon)
Step 1 :: Add your local username to the Site Settings security roles page. (Security - System Administrator)
Step 2 :: Add your local username to the Folder Settings on the home page. (Select Content Manager)
Close the Administrator IE session.
Open IE in normal mode under your user account.
Windows 8.1
I resolved this with help from the answer by Austin McLaughlin posted earlier. In my case I had been logged in with a local account that had administrator privileges, but attempting to http://127.0.0.1/Reports (hearinafter referred to as "the Reporting Services Manager") produced the error reported by the OP.
The key for me was that the Administrator account was disabled by default in my Windows 8.1 laptop. Note that I did not originally have Windows 8.1 Pro, so there was no "Local Users and Groups" under "Computer Management". Thus, I had to purchase the Windows 8.1 Pro Pack online from MS for $100.
In Windows Explorer, right click on the Computer node and select "Manage".
Navigate to Local Users and Groups > Users
Right click on Administrator and select Properties
De-select "Account is disabled"
Restart PC
Log in to the PC as Administrator (I did not have to enter a password for the Administrator account on first login.)
From the desktop, run IE. No need to run as Administrator, of course, since you logged in as Administrator.
Navigate to the Reporting Services Manager.
At this point you should be logged in to the Report Administrator and on the Home screen. I had not been able to get this far before.
On the Home screen, click "New Role Assignment"
In "Group or user name", enter the local administrator account you use for development; i.e.: [yourmachine]\[username]
Select all the checkboxes (shortcut is to click the checkbox to the left of "Role") and click OK.
In the upper right hand side of the page, click Site Settings.
On the left side of the page, click Security.
Click "New Role Assignment"
In "Group or user name" enter the same account as in step 10
Check "System Administrator" checkbox and click OK
As a precaution, disable the Administrator account that you enabled in step 4.
Log out, then back in with your local account from step 10.
In IE, browse to the Reporting Services Manager. Note: It was not necessary for me to start IE as Administrator.
At this point you should be able to access Reporting Services Manager page, and configure reporting services further.
Change service account type as "Network Service" in service account tab then stop and start service and run IE as Administrator.
From Reporting Services Configuration Manager you can get to the node Report Manager Url. The URL works from this screen. Now you can use the Folder Settings to add yourself as a Content Manager, etc... Now the url will work for your user.
In IE, just add Add the reporting services website to "Local intranet" sites.
That's it.
Just open IE as Run As Administrator and just type URL as http://localhost/reports

Visual Studio Team System 2008 Localhost Controller Access Denied Restarting Rig for Load Test

I have two basic issues:
I can't seem to get the "Restart Rig" to work when the Controller is listed as 'localhost'.
I can't seem to get the agent to run as expected in the load test.
Here are the details:
I am using Visual Studio Team System 2008 with a Load Test. On the Windows XP system running Visual Studio, I have installed the Visual Studio Team Test Controller. On another Windows 2003 Standard system, I have installed the Visual Studio Team Test Agent (I will call these the Controller and Agent, respectively).
I believe I have set up the Agent correctly using the command:
AgentConfigUtil.exe /controller:
The log file for this action indicates the agent was successfully added to the controller for both machines using the login account I was logged in with.
On the Controller, within Visual Studiio, I can select Test | Administer Test Controllers from the menu. In the Controller drop-down, I select "localhost". I have my "Load Test Result Store" correctly configured, and I add the Agent as defined. The Agent status is "Ready".
I then click on the "Restart Rig" button and receive the following message:
Microsoft Visual Studio
Rig failed to restart for controller 'localhost'.
The following error was reported
Access is denied.
I am logged into both systems with a domain account that has local admin access to both machines.
Both the Controller and Agent services (running on their respective machines), have the "Log On As" user as my domain user with appropriate password. Both services are running without problems.
On the controller, I have the following groups: TeamTestAgentService, TeamTestControllerAdmins, and TeamTestControllerUsers. My domain account is a member of each group as well.
Note that if I select the name of the machine rather than 'localhost' in the Controller drop-down for the "Administer Test Controller" dialog, then the "Restart Rig" seems to work without any problems. Honestly, I'm not sure which is appropriate or correc for this situation. I would think these settings (localhost vs. machine name) were equivalent.
Finally, using the Test | Edit Test Run Configuration, I have created the following:
Test Run Configuration where the "Select location to run tests"is set to "Local" and the name of the Agent is in the name/value pair box.
Test Run Configuration where the "Select location to run tests" is set to "Remote" and the Agent is in the name/value pair box.
If I select the active configuration as the first one listed above, the test runs but I get no indication that the Agent is being used for the test. Yes, I do get an additional dialog telling me that: "You specified to execute test run remotely on a local machine. Are you sure you want to do that instead of executing locally?"
If I select the active configuration as the second one above, I get a "Test Run Error" of: "Failed to queue test run 'username#machinename time': Test run 'username#machinename time' cannot be executed on controller MACHINENAME. No agent matches the specified agent properties.
I've searched MSDN, I've read the appropriate articles on how to perform these actions (here and here), but these articles are very basic and don't really help me much.
I'd appreciate any insight for getting my test configuration working correctly. Basically, I want to be able to run load tests with the agent working.

SQL Reporting Services 2005 not Showing Contents or Properties

I installed and configured SQL Server 2005 with Reporting Services, Workgroup Edition on Windows 7. I have updated to Service Pack 4. The problem is that when I navigate to http://localhost/reports/Pages/Folder.aspx, Reporting Services don't show/display Contents or Properties menus, all I see is the SQL Server Reporting Services header with the Home/Help button.
EDIT: I figured it out. You need to create role assignments that explicitly grant you access together with full permissions. To do this, follow these steps:
Start Internet Explorer together with the Run as administrator option. To do this, click Start, click All Programs, right-click Internet Explorer, and then click Run as administrator.
Open Report Manager. By default, the Report Manager URL is http://ServerName/reports.
If you use SQL Server Express with Advanced Services SP2, the Report Manager URL is http://ServerName/reports$sqlexpress. If you use a named instance of Reporting Services, the Report Manager URL is http://ServerName/reports$InstanceName
In the Home dialog box, click Properties.
Click New Role Assignment.
Type a Windows user account name by using the following format:
Domain\User
Click to select the Content Manager check box.
Click OK.
In the Home dialog box, click Site Settings.
Click Configure site-wide security.
Click New Role Assignment.
Type a Windows user account by using the following format:
Domain\User
Click System Administrator.
Click OK.
Close Report Manager.
