Hi All,

Firstly thank you for looking at this post.

I have recently started a new job and have inherited a number of SQL servers ranging from 6.5 to 2005.

I am in the process of securing the SQL Servers; the developers who created the majority of the users are not much help.

I have a lot of users using...
sysadmin,
securityadmin,
serveradmin,
setupadmin,
processadmin,
diskadmin...
rights and don’t believe they all need the level of access.

I am looking for a script i can run to audit the SQL Server security if anybody knows of one, i would like to include the last time the user logged on the databases they have access, and password strength (this is a plus).

This will be very very helpful and I would appreciate it a great deal and save me a lot of time with the 100+ servers with an endless number of databases.

Kind Regards

Petek


Kind Regards

Pete.

You have to get third-Party tools from Redgate or Idera to do that.

The microsoft stored procedure "sp_help_revlogin" will help with the password strengths. (You may need to download the proc).
This is provided to transfer logons - it generates a script of logins. The passwords are encrypted.
You can then search the output file this for key phrases, e.g:
"FROM WINDOWS" (Windows Authentication)
"WITH PASSWORD" (SQL Authentication)
CHECK_POLICY=OFF (SQL Authentication created with-out enforcing password policy)

This should help to focus on possibly weak logons.
