Allen Kinsel - SQL DBA

SQL Server, PASS, and other data mishaps

A new blog is born

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

    • Allen Kinsel: Thanks, We hope that this will be a good test of community selections, and hope to expand it a bit in the future
    • robert cook: glad you decided to keep blogging and gracias to you and your amigos for giving an opportunity to the sql community for direct involvement with session choices
  • 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...
