Problem
Earlier versions of NorthStar Order Entry did not add the Administrators group to the SQL Server sysadmins role. This meant that users could not access the NorthStar databases in SQL Server.
This document demonstrates how to add the Administrators group to the sysadmins server role.
Procedure for current versions of Order Entry
In current versions of NorthStar Order Entry, Web Admin has a tool specifically for this task. Choose "Fix SQL Authentication" on the Utilities page.
localhost:8082/webadmin/utilities.html
Procedure for previous versions of Order Entry
| Warning |
|---|
This requires restarting SQL Server and possibly Order Entry, so we recommend doing this while the site is closed. |
Step 1: Opening SQL Server Configuration Manager
In the Start menu, search for "SQL Server Configuration Manager", and run it.
If you are using Windows 10, SQL Server Configuration Manager may not be listed in the Start menu. In this case go to Start → Run and run one of the following commands:
- "SQLServerManager12.msc" (SQL Server 2014)
- "SQLServerManager11.msc" (SQL Server 2012)
- "SQLServerManager10.msc" (SQL Server 2008)
it is also found in C:\Windows\SysWOW64\ labelled SQLServerManager11.msc
Step 2: Putting SQL Server in single-user mode
Make sure all NorthStar Order Services are stopped
In the "SQL Server Services" node, stop all SQL Server services. Make a note of which ones were started, you will need to restart them in step 4.
Find the SQL Server service named "SQL Server (SQLEXPRESS)". The instance name might be something other than "SQLEXPRESS", but the name should just be "SQL Server". Right-click and click Properties.
Under the Startup Parameters tab, add a new parameter "-m" (this is a hyphen and a lowercase m, with no whitespace).
Save these settings and restart ONLY the "SQL Server (SQLEXPRESS)" service.
Step 3: Adding Administrators to the sysadmins server role
Open the Start menu and find SQL Server 2012 Management Studio, or whichever version of Management Studio is installed. Right-click and click "Run as Administrator".
...
Close SQL Server Management Studio.
Step 4: Put SQL Server back into multi-user mode
In SQL Server Configuration Manager, go back into SQL Server properties and remove the "-m" startup parameter.
...
Restart the "SQL Server (SQLEXPRESS)" service, and restart any other services which were originally started in step 2.
Step 5: Verify
Verify that NorthStar Order Entry is able to connect to SQL Server.
Restart SQL Server Management Studio (Run as Administrator) and verify you can still connect to SQL Server.
Troubleshooting
If you cannot connect to SQL Server in step 3, another service may be connecting to SQL Server before management studio. Single-user mode only allows a single user to connect to SQL Server, so if Order Entry or another service is connecting first, SQL Server Management Studio will not be able to connect.
...
Restart SQL Server and continue with step 4.
Login Failed. The login is from an untrusted domain and cannot be used with windows authentication
