vac Posted October 1, 2009 Report Share Posted October 1, 2009 Hello everybody, I run a Microsoft SQL 2008 on a Windows 2008 Server system. Retrospect version 7.6.123 is installed on a seperate backup server. I installed the Retrospect client without any problems on the SQL Server. I can add the client within Retrospect but the login to the SQL-Server database failed. The SQL Server runs in mixed mode, but both methods (Domain login or SQL login) to access the server failed. As stated in the releases notes, the current version should support this constellation. Any ideas? best regards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mayoff Posted October 1, 2009 Report Share Posted October 1, 2009 Did you create an RBU account for Retrospect? What groups is it a member of? What exactly happens when you try to authenticate with Retrospect to the SQL server? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vac Posted October 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2009 (edited) Hello, we set up a special "service-account" for backup this SQL-Server in the target domain. This account is member of the following groups: Domain Administrator and Backup Operator As I said, I can add the client to retrospect, the SQL Server and the local Volume C is correctly displayed. When I click on the SQL icon I have to enter login credentials and can choose between: 1. use current RBU Information 2. use SQL Authentication 3. Use Domain Authentication Number 1 is no option because we use this backup server to backup several servers from different domains (datacenter backup). I have to use option 2. or 3. I tried for 2. the login data for the "sa" user, but this does not work. For option 3 I tried the login data for the "service-account", but this also failed. best regards Edited October 1, 2009 by Guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vac Posted October 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2009 installing the backward compaitibility solved the problem partially. I can now login with the sa user, login as Active Directory user still fails. best regards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mayoff Posted October 2, 2009 Report Share Posted October 2, 2009 When using the SA account (which is what I use), can you see the databases? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vac Posted October 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2009 yes, I see all configured databases Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
austregecilio Posted April 6, 2010 Report Share Posted April 6, 2010 So, no solutions for this case to make Active Directory Accounts works? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vac Posted June 23, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2010 not as far as I know. We only get it working with the "sa" user. Anyway, I don't care, cause we're go to switiching our backup software soon. I mean, hey, no agent for Exchange 2010 while other vendors have it already and there's still no date for availability? Sorry, but this is unbeliveable. best regards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
