URGENT QUESTION:
Running SQL Server 2000 which has service pack 4 running on a Windows 2000 server fully patched. I just installed SQL Server today.
SQL Server databases are installed in a directory called MSSql on drive D.
SQL Server is set to Windows authentication only. The MSsql service logs into the administrator account .
The problem:
- The SQL Server service will not start. The problem involves security. If I add EVERYONE to the security settings to the MSSQL folder on drive D and give EVERYONE full control then the service will start.
I dont want EVERYONE on the security list. I just want the following:
- domain admin
- domain users
- administrator (built in)
What must I do to be able to remove EVERYONE from the security list?
