Allen Kinsel - SQL DBA

SQL Server, PASS, and other data mishaps

A new blog is born

By Allen Kinsel, 8 months and 10 days ago

A new take on an old idea

As if there aren't already enough blogs around about SQL server I've decided to start and build my own.  For those of you tortured lucky enough to know me you'll know exactly how hard the decision has been to start this blog.

I hope this blog will become a place that I can throw random thoughts about with almost reckless abandon.  I plan on using this place as a sounding board for ideas as well as a place to store my ideas for use at a later time.

I will likely be focusing more on SQLPASS than on SQL Server troubleshooting itself so, this is where this blog will be different from most.  I think SQLPASS could be so much more than it currently is and I intend to do my level best to make that happen

Oh, super huge thanks go out to Brent Ozar (twitter, web) for his awesome how to setup a blog series.  Without that, I would not have this site today.  I owe you a beer at the next SQLPASS Summit!

So, welcome to my world, please feel free to look around (theres nothing else here)

Hey now! I resemble that remark :) Great blog Allen - best wishes to you on a successful run!

I like your choice of content too. Getting more opportunity to hang with you at the Summit this year and attending the BOD Q&A session has me thinking too. Can't wait to see some of your ideas!

I'm looking forward to seeing your posts. Then I will take them verbatim and post them on our blog - so write something good.

Just kidding, Have fun with it!

Interested to see how the blog goes. I hope to make it to some Houston group meetings to finally meet you in person. Maybe you'll inspire me to start my own blog. :)

  • Sql Server and SSPI handshake failed error hell:
    • Robert L Davis: I agree about the reboot. That's why I check SPN's before DC/Kerberos errors. An SPN can be fixed without rebooting, but if the issue is DC connection and no one can log in to the SQL Server, you're down anyway so a reboot shouldn't be out of the question. The problem with having a...
    • Allen Kinsel: I guess should have worded that a little differently, in my experience in a lot of environments kerberos isnt used since its not configured, so it always falls back to NTLM, with only NTLM and no Kerberos in the result list, its usually safe to say that SPN's arent the issue. I...
    • NULLgarity: This post should win an award. These SSPI errors have cause me all sorts of trouble over the years and are EXTREMELY difficult to troubleshoot. In my experience, they often went away before I even had a chance to look into them. Thanks for the post!
    • Shawn Melton: It's been a while since I have done SA duties with AD but I would be curious too. I actually have a User Group meeting tonight (06/17/10) with an MCT that teaches AD and will ask him if he can explain that authentication mess.
    • Robert L Davis: sys.dm_exec_connections does not tell you what protocol they used to attempt their connection. It tells you which protocol suceeded. Kerberos is ALWAYS tried first and NTLM is used as a failback. So if they show as using NTLM, it's not because they didn't attempt to use Kerberos, its because Kerberos wasn't successful. In my...
