Hi there,
have an interesting one with SQL 2012 Standard and WSUS.
The WSUS server was built in one domain, then removed and added to a new domain. The group "WSUS Administrators" on the old domain, was granted SysAdmin privileges.
We do not know the SA password. Nobody has Admin rights over SQL.
I have tried to run SQL in Single User Mode, with all other services stopped, but cannot get SQLCMD to connect to the instance.
It keeps telling me that someone / thing is already connected, but I can't identify what is connecting. How can you work this out?
We have other SQL instances on the same box. I have even stopped those. SQL Browser and agents also stopped.
I need to get SysAdmin rights back and set the SA password. The instance uses Windows Authentication.
I don't mind deleting the master database, as long as I can remount the WSUS database as it is now.
Any help appreciated.
Ian
