SEC 5.5.1

Hello all,

seems that SEC 5.5.1 is in the works already (though naturally I can't say when exactly later this year will be).

  • Thanks.  I seen that.  I am concentrating on the TLS issue first since solving it may also solve other issues ...

    But for now, in that KB they write :

    1. Launch a Command Prompt as the user who has the sysadmin Server Role

    2. Type the following and press return:

      sqlcmd -E -S .\sophos

      Note: This uses the default sophos instance on the local server. To confirm the instance you require see article 113030.

    3. At the prompt type the following to determine if the affected user has a Login, pressing Enter after each line:

      SELECT loginname FROM syslogins
      go

    4. Confirm whether the affected user is listed in the output

    5. If the user is listed go to step 7

    6. If the user is not listed type the following to add the user to the Logins, pressing Enter after each line:

    Well.  Nothing, but absolutely nothing in there works.

    I indeed have the registry key with (local)\SOPHOS registry key. (And not ".\SOPHOS key")

    sqlcmd -E -S .\sophos do not work

    sqlcmd -E -S (local)\sophos do not work

    Whatever the case, SELECT loginname FROM syslogins will not work either.  "syslogins" being wrong. Error near"-E"

    Another Sophos time sucker nightmare ...

  • Presence of .\sophos is proven here ...

  • So from the connections string it seems you're using the default SOPHOS named instance on the local computer.

    Are you saying that, in a command prompt:

    sqlcmd -E -S .\SOPHOS

    does not connect and you get an error?

    What about:

    sqlcmd -E -S hostname\SOPHOS

    Where you are changing "hostname" to the name of the computer.

    I assume that the Windows service that backs the SQL instance is running?

  • Hello. 

    First, domain admin account is really SA.

    Second, I tried the installer "As Administrator"

    Third, I did not tried with the server name, but I have tried with

    (local)\sophos
    .\sophos
    localhost\sophos
    127.0.0.1\sophos

  • Any clue ? I posted a case two weeks ago now, and the only thing Sophos support have done so far is to send me the link for the instructions ... It is not because they did not have instructions on hand to guess easily I have been through those steps already ...
