I'm trying to drag and drop a file from my desktop to my local MSSQLSERVER shared folder/directory used for filestream files. Everytime I do so, I receive the following Windows error - "You need permission to perform this action."
I feel like I've tried everything under the sun to resolve this, from adding users and groups to the share's permission list (and granting full access) -- all the way to adjusting permission settings in SQL Server (for the database and individual filetable).
My local MSSQLServer service is logged on as a network account and I'm trying to drag/drop with my windows authenticated account. I've tried modifying so the service so it's logged on by a windows auth account, restarted, but still no luck there.
Any thoughts?
Thanks
You tried to enable the "Allow remote clients to have streaming access to FILESTREAM data" in SQL Server Configuration Manager | SQL Server Services | SQL Server (MSSQLSERVER) | FILESTREAM?
Tried to change the ownership Filestream Access Level:
EXEC sp_configure filestream_access_level, 2
RECONFIGURE
(0 - disabled, 1 - T-SQL access enabled and 2 - full access enabled [including access via windows explorer].)

Ok, one physical server running Hyper-V. One VM is for the SQL 2016 DB. Another VM is for the web based application that talks to the DB. A third VM that is used as the file server. All files are stored on the file server.
The file location that needs to be bulk inserted is shared with the DB Service Accounts (currently set to specifically made domain accounts - one for each service).
The file can't be imported - access is denied. I've tried setting the share to Everyone - still doesn't work. I even changed the Security Policy to allow Anonymous users the same permissions as Everyone - still doesn't work.
I don't know how to go about this Delegation method so not sure what to do there.
What else can I do to get a simple file to import into a DB?
Have you enabled kerberos? If the connection is coming in as Anonymous, dosent it mean that the connection is using NTLM and its a double hop issue?
After successfully creating a FileTable, I tried viewing the fileshare but my permissions are denied. In Management Studio, right-clicking on FileTable then "Explore FilteTable Directory" gives me the following error message:
The File location cannot be opened. Either access is not enabled or
your do not have permissions for the same.
If I try to manually reach the share using \mycomputer\sqlexpress..., I'm still denied access.
This is SQL Express running on my local machine. I'm accessing this share from the same machine. What am I missing?
Does the windows user you are trying to access the fileshare as have SQL server access to the filetable database? Windows share permissions don't apply to filestream shares so, make sure you have permissions in the SQL database.
The other things you need to check to make sure you have access are the setting in configuration manager to ensure that Transact-SQL access is enabled as well as file I/O access (you can also set here whether clients can connect to the share remotely too).
To access these settings, open SQL Server configuration manager, in SQL server services, right click on the SQL Server Service for your instance and select properties, on the filestream tab you will see the options.
The next place you need to check for settings (yes, you have to enable this feature in 3 separate places!) is the level of access on the SQL server itself.
Open SQL Server Management Studio, connect to your SQL instance and right click on your server and select properties. Click on the advanced section and there is a section for filestream, you need to select full access enabled if you want to use filetable.
I actually found this article after typing all of that which explains how to enable the pre-requisites for filetables:
Enable the Prerequisites for FileTable
Hope this helps.
For me, since my server is a networked server, the resolution was:
Step into SQL Server Configuration Manager
Open SQL Server Services
Right click on SQL Server (MSSQLSERVER) and go to properties
Go to the FILESTREAM tab and make sure Allow remote clients access to FILESTEAM data is checked
Can you check a few things?
Can you via Windows Explorer try to browse to each of the following:
\\YOURCOMPUTERNAME
\\YOURCOMPUTERNAME\[FILESTREAM Share Name]\ e.g MSSQLSERVER
\\YOURCOMPUTERNAME\[FILESTREAM Share Name]\[FILESTREAM Directory Name]
\\YOURCOMPUTERNAME\[FILESTREAM Share Name]\[FILESTREAM Directory Name]\[FILETABLE Table Name]
[FILESTREAM Share Name]
this is the name as defined at the Server Insance level when you set FILESTREAM access up
to check it, right click on the Server Connection in SSMS and choose Properties
then look in Advanced --> FILESTREAM --> FILESTREAM Share Name
[FILESTREAM Directory Name]
this is the name as defined in the database when you set FILESTREAM
access up
to check it, right click on the Database in SSMS and choose Properties
then look in Options --> FILESTREAM --> FILESTREAM Directory Name
[FILETABLE Table Name]
Remember when you name your table it has to conform with Windows Folder naming rules (ie avoid special characters) e.g "TABLE|WEIRDCHARACTER"
Note(1): I have found that if you give your user only "ALTER" permission on the Filetable Table it will be browseable at the
\\YOURCOMPUTER\MSSQLSERVER\FILESTREAM_DIRECTORY_NAME\
level but you wont actually be able to browse the contents of the "directory"
Note(2): if you only give SELECT, UPDATE, DELETE, INSERT permission to a user on a filetable Table it will be able to access the folder with the fullpath and see the contents and act on them - create new files, modify existing files
\\YOURCOMPUTER\MSSQLSERVER\FILESTREAM_DIRECTORY_NAME\FILETABLE_NAME\
but not browse it at the FILESTREAM_DIRECTORY_NAME level - it in essence becomes a "hidden" directory that you must know the entire pathname to find (unless you guess it of course in a brute attack)
Other posters have dealt with the FILESTREAM set up.
To browse and access files within a filetable, VIEW DEFINTION and SELECT permissions will be required as a minimum. The ALTER permission referenced in dmc2005's post is not required.
Example (granting access to a Windows user or group):
GRANT VIEW DEFINITION,SELECT ON FileTableName TO [MYDOMAIN\MYGROUPNAME]
Assigning the User / Group to one of the fixed database roles (for example db_datareader) will not grant the required permissions for filestream access. The permissions must be explicitly granted.
I'm trying to create a database on my local machine using SSMS version 11.0.2100.60. I've run the application as administrator, logged in using Windows authentication, and I've added MYDOMAIN\my-username to the Logins. However if I try to create a db with this login I get the message
CREATE DATABASE permission denied in database 'master'.
(Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 262)
If I try to add the privelage dbcreator to my user, I get the following error.
User does not have permission to perform this action.
(Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 15247)
I can't log in as sa as I don't know/remember the password (is there a preset default?), and if I try to change the password I get the message:
Cannot alter the login 'sa', because it does not exist or you do not have permission.
(Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 15151)
Finally I note that the account 'sa' is disabled, and if I try to enable it I get the same error as before. Is there any way around this or do I need to re-install?

I found the answer here:
In order to start SQL Server in single-user mode, you can add the
parameter “-m” at the command line. You can also use the SQL Server
Configuration Manager tool, which provides proper controls for the
file access and other privileges. To use the Configuration Manager
tool to recover your system, use the following steps:
Open the Configuration Manager tool from the "SQL Server 2005| Configuration" menu
Stop the SQL Server Instance you need to recover
Navigate to the “Advanced” tab, and in the Properties text box add “;–m” to the end of the list in the “Startup parameters” option
Click the “OK” button and restart the SQL Server Instance
A little more specific :
Open Sql Configuration Manager.
Select SQL Server Services.
On the right hand side, select the instance.
Right click on it and open properties.
In the advanced tab attach ";-m" at the end of the Startup Parameters field.
Apply and restart the service.
Now you have privilege to enable "sa" user and modify its password.
once done, remove ";-m" and restart the service.
You are good to go.
I'd like to point out an alternative answer laid out on DBA SE. Download PSExec onto the box that is having the problem and follow the instructions laid out in this blog post to effortlessly change admin settings using the NT Authority\System account.
./psexec -s -i "C:\...\Ssms.exe"
Wanted to share this solution as it solved my problem!
When I type this:
CREATE DATABASE AdventureWorks2012
ON (FILENAME = 'C:\Users\sohm\Desktop\Pohm\AdventureWorks2012_Data.mdf')
FOR ATTACH_REBUILD_LOG ;
I get this:
File activation failure. The physical file name
"C:\Users\sohm\Desktop\AdventureWorks2012_Data_log.ldf" may be incorrect.
Msg 5123, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
CREATE FILE encountered operating system error 5 (Access is denied.) while attempting to
open or create the physical file 'C:\adventuredb\AdventureWorks2012_Data_log.ldf'.
Msg 1813, Level 16, State 2, Line 1
Could not open new database 'AdventureWorks2012'. CREATE DATABASE is aborted.
I know it has to do with permissions. I have the administrator account. I have read a million posts but nothing has worked so far. Also when I try to change the folder containing the mdf file, to full control but it keeps reverting back to read-only.
You should run SSMS as an administrator.
Also it is possible that you might be running query as an 'sa' user(sql server authentication).
Try running the query with windows Authentication.
SHORT VERSION
For allowing MS SQL server 2012 to attach the database files you must grant full access to the mdf and ldf files to:
NT Service\MSSQLSERVER
Full Access
LONG VERSION
SQL Security has been updated a lot in 2012 handling of files.
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms189128.aspx
If you look at the existing attached databases and there security you will probably see that there only are 2 roles allowed with full access. MSSQLSERVER and Administrators, when attached SQL Removes all other roles from the files.
Trying to set the MSSQLSERVER from the fil security Permission will not work.
Looking at your services.msc overview you will in a default install see that NT Service\MSSQLSERVER also runs the SQL server servics.
The service account is not visible, the same issue as with IIS AppPools, a sub group has been created by the system and "hides" the accounts from auto discovery, probably to try and secure the accounts but in my view just obscures the setup.

Open the SQL Server Management Stdio in Administrator mode(Right click -> Select Run as Administrator. If it asks for User name and password enter your Administrator user name password). Then select Windows Authentication click ok, and now try to attache it will attache without any error.
This has nothing to do with YOUR account. SQL Server is trying to write to that folder under the context of the service account that is running SQL Server. You can see who this is by going to the Services applet and seeing who the instance runs as (probably NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM or whatever). You can override that or you can place your MDF files in the data folder, which SQL Server already has inherent access to, instead of placing them in this other location on your C:\ drive.
Another way to solve this is to change all the SQL Server services to Local System Account instead of services. Start -> Run ->Services.msc -> Scroll down to SQL Server, you should see five services that start with SQL Server. Right-Click, Properties, Log On, change to Local System Account. Repeat for all the rest of the SQL Server Services and restart them all.
Try This
Go to the folder where you have stored mdf file.
Select file -> Right click -> click on mdf give full permissions to file for logged in user Security.
If still issue persist and it might me because of corrupted transaction logs, you may use tool SQL Database Recovery Tool Repairs to repair your corrupted mdf file.
Figured it out. I went to sql server configuration manager and right clicked SQL Server Service. Then I added my Windows Admin account to run the service and now it works.
I'm creating new login in SQL Server 2008 with following sql script:
CREATE LOGIN [xyz] WITH PASSWORD='xyz',
DEFAULT_DATABASE=[master], DEFAULT_LANGUAGE=[us_english],
CHECK_EXPIRATION=OFF, CHECK_POLICY=OFF
It creates new login successfully. But when I try to login with it using SQL Server Management Studio it fails saying:
A connection was successfully established with the server, but then an error occurred during the login process. (provider: Shared Memory Provider, error: 0 - No process is on the other end of the pipe.) (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 233)
What's wrong? How do I solve this issue?
Here is how I done it, maybe it works for you too.
login Microsoft SQL Server 2012 with windows authentication.
right-click onto the server name in Object Explorer and click Properties
In the new tab click Security
select SQL Server and Windows Authentication
Ok
Close the SQL server management studio.
start+run
write services.msc
search for SQL there and restart all services.
that works for me.
It's also possible that you're trying to use SQL Server Authentication without having enabled it. To fix this, right-click Properties on your server instance in SQL Server Management Studio, and update the security settings to include "SQL Server and Windows Authentication mode".
Looks like you're trying to connect using named pipes, but SQL Server is not listening on that protocol. See MSDN.
The two fixes MSDN suggests are:
Connect using TCP/IP, or use the SQL
Server Configuration Manager to
enable remote connections using named
pipes.
Using SQL Server Configuration
Manager on the client computer, move
TCP before named pipes in the
protocol order list.
I had a similar issue:
1. log in as the master user or windows authenticated user.
2. right click on the database --> properties --> security -->
3. change Windows Authentication mode to "SQL server and windows authentication mode" by clicking on the radio button. (if it is not)
4. restart the server
I had the same issue when i first setup SQL Server 2014 on my local machine.
In my case the solution was to set a correct defualt database.
Login with Administrator in SQL Server
Go to Securities >> Logins >> select your user name and go to properties
From Status >> uncheck user account lock check box
Change password for the user
Restart the sql server and login with your username.
I was facing the same error.
I've resolved the error by following below mentioned steps:
Disable named pipes and restart sql services.
After restart sql server I enabled names pipes and did a sql server restart again (Link for Step 1 and 2)
Connect to SQL server via studio.
Right click on SQL instance --> Properties --> Connections --> "Set the Maximum number of 5. concurrent connections to '0' ".
Save the change.
Restart the SQL server if possible. (Link for step 3 to 6)
I hope this will help someone
This is might not be a connection issue . Check your default database and if that is online . More commonly this issues seen when the default database will be offline or not exists . If your default database other than master ,better check this option.
I got a way to go around the problem.
Open one instance and login using the windows authentication
allow sql and windows auth both by right cliking on the db server.
Open second instance and login using sql authentication.
bingo the sql authenticated instance open .. :)
Actually in this way we cheat the sql authenticated instance as it tries to find an already running instance.. worked fr me.. good luck
I tried most of the solution but was not able to solve it until I found this URL which says to do the following:
Open SQL Server Management Studio and run the these queries:
sp_configure 'show advanced options', 1;
go
reconfigure
go
sp_configure 'user connections', 0
go
reconfigure
go
The reason why we got this error is that the user connections was reset to 1, so only one user was able to connect with the SQL server.
just a simple query worked for. I hope this will work for others as well.
I have not used the script style, but login through GUI I encountered the same error code. I had entered wrong user name and this is why I was getting the Sql Server, Error: 233. In order to resolve this, you should input the following information:
Server Name: MachineName\SQLEXPRESS
Authentication: SqlServer Authentication
User Name: Assigned user-name or simply sa
Password: xyzpqr
NOTE: Here I have wrote above data for demo purpose only, actual data is your machine & software's properties.
According to: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb326280.aspx
Go to --> Remot setting
Go to "Remote" tab
in "Remote Assistance", Tick "Allow Remote Assistance connection to this computer", Click the "Advance" button and tick the "Allow..." and in the "Invitation" set the "30 days"
Then in the "Remote Desktop" part
Just tick "Allow remote connection to this computer"
After following the examples here and still not getting in, I found that my sa login was disabled. The following got me in:
Logged back in under windows authentication.
Expanded Security Tab
Expanded Logins Tab
Right-clicked sa and selected Properties
Went to the Status Tab
Under Login: Clicked 'Enabled' radio
Restarted Server and logged in as sa.
This assumes you have set sa password already using
ALTER LOGIN sa WITH PASSWORD = '<enterStrongPasswordHere>' ;
"A connection was successfully established with the server, but then an error occurred during the login process."
I was getting this problem from sqllocaldb when used from within Docker. The problem was the Docker image was not allocated enough memory. Increasing the memory actually fixed the problem.
