This is very big concern, especially when the same SQL
Server 2008, 2005, or 2000 is hosting multiple DB Applications: Dynamics GP,
Payroll Processing Database, Microsoft CRM, and others. If this is your case, you do not want
Dynamics GP administrator to be able to simply open New Query in SQL Server Management
Studio and Select all the run select statement against your employees salaries
codes. In this small publication we
would like to offer you simple solution and highlights:
1. DYNSA
account in Great Plains. This account is
what you need – it is Dynamics System Administrator, as Great Plains Software
designed Dynamics for Microsoft SQL Server platform back in 1990th. Many of the readers at this point will
probably go away with the decision to use this idea and be happy, however for
the rest of us – we would like you to come through checkup and troubleshooting
procedures and understand the architecture
2. DYNSA
in SQL Server Upgrades Transformations.
If you deploy Great Plains long time, then you should know that you
organization in its history potentially might came through the following
upgrade: MS SQL Server 6.5 to 7.0, then from MS SQL Server 7.0 to 2000, then
from MS SQL Server 2000 to 2005, and then from MS SQL Server 2005 to 2008. We recommend you to check is DYNSA login is
still member of the following Server Roles: dbcreator, public, securityadmin
3. DYNSA
in Test or New Companies Creation and Restore from Backup. When your MS SQL Server Management Studio
2005 or MS SQL Server Enterprise Manager 2000 are set to use sa account, and if
you are using these tools to backup and restore Databases, then when you
restore the DB, database owner account will be changed to sa
automatically. In the day-to-day rush
and stress of modern IT director life or in Dynamics GP internal support under
the pressure, you may not realize immediately the problem of kicking DYNSA user
out of the scenes – your Dynamics GP system and its databases will continue
function as expected, but from this moment you will have to use SA as Dynamics
GP administrator user. In order to resurrect
DYNSA you will need to first run SP_HELPDB to understand who is current owner
of the DYNAMICS and companies DBSm and then you will need to reset ownership to
DYNSA by running this statement: sp_changedbowner ‘DYNSA’
4. Last
tip. In Microsoft SQL Server 2005, DYNSA
is not required to be in the DB users list, as it is DBO or Database
Owner. However for older MS SQL Server
Versions: 2000, 7.0 and 6.5 this restriction might not be forced. So, if you are getting error message in
running sp_changedbowner ‘DYNSA’ script, please, open DB in SQL Management
Studio, expand the DB -> Security
-> Users and delete DYNSA from the users list if it is there. Then rerun sp_changedbowner ‘DYNSA’
5. At
this point you should be able to use DYNSA account in the same capacity as SA
