Hi,

We have a serious situation here:
Both the SA user and BUILTIN\Administrator have lost their SYSADMIN-
rights.

I thought that SA was hardcoded to be a sysadmin??

How is this possible?
How can I re-enable these rights?

Thanks for your help!

Hi
You cannot remove sysadmin right from 'SA'. Where do you see it?

Hi,

We are using SQL Server 2000 SP4.
It happens for example when I open Enterprise Manager, right-click on
my instance and then choose Properties.
Then I get an errormsg: "Only members of the sysadmin role can access
this feature".
Another example is that I cannot open any of the user-properties.

Thanks for the help.

Re-register the server using the 'sa' account and password.

Then modify your login to be a member of Sysadmin

I can see the users but not their properties and therefore can also
not change the properties.
I can not see the Server Roles..

Open up Enterprise Manager,
- Right click on your SQL Server 2000 Instance (i.e. Ekrem-Pc\SQLServer2000)
DELETE SQL Server Registration.
- Right click on the SQL Server Group, New SQL Server Registration. And keep
going...

Did you re-register your instance in Enterprise Manager?
