I am trying to deploy a cube for the first time on my PC. I have run SSMS as an Admin and made myself (Gary-pc\gary, using Windows authentication) an admin. Doing this got me past the error message user does not have permission to create a new object in 'GARY-PC', or the object does not exist.
When I deploy the cube now, I get the error: the syntax for the ImpersonationInfo object is incorrect. If the ImpersonateAccount value is used for ImpersonationInfo, then the Account property cannot be empty.
I have not (knowingly! LOL) set up anything related to impersonation.
I've resolved the problem with this:
Double click on data source
Select impersonation
Choose use credentials of user
As #user1335419 says.
I tried changing the impersonation to "Credentials of User" and although I was successful in deploying the cube, I could not process it. I ended up getting an error that said:
"The datasource contains an ImpersonationMode that is not supported
for processing operations"
So I changed the impersonation from "Credentials of User" to "Inherit" and was able to process. I don't know if the first deployment would have worked with "Inherit", but thought I would share my experience.

Here's an example of a connection configuration that has stopped working (it's for connecting to an Azure managed database):
{
"server": "sqldb.12345abcde.database.windows.net",
"database": "sqldb01",
"authenticationType": "AzureMFA",
"profileName": "sqldb01",
"azureAccountToken": "",
"expiresOn": 1648022420,
"email": "benmcf#work.com",
"accountId": "aaaaaaaa-0000-bbbb-1111-cccccc222222"
}
When I try to connect, VS Code displays a dialog saying mssql: Credential Error: Account credentials have expired. Please re-authenticate. and another saying mssql: undefined:
After clicking the refresh credentials button, the linked page fails to resolve in my browser, showing ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED:
When I reinstall the plugin, remove my connection definitions from settings.json and attempt to create a new connection, the browser page resolves correctly and allows me to authenticate, but it has no effect in VS Code.
I'm able use the same connection details in Azure Data Studio to connect successfully.
I had the same/similar problem and found 2 possible issues in my case. I went into Windows Credential Manager and Removed the aad-iv and aad-key credentials, as well as all the others that did not say Modified: Today (presumably overkill).
When I then tried again in VSCode, I received an error but was able to proceed by it giving me a chance to enter credentials. In my case, it then failed to connect with an option to automatically add a firewall rule... and then everything worked.
I'm not sure if it wasn't smart enough to figure out how to refresh credentials OR if it was trying to but something with the firewall rule came into the picture and disrupted it.
After this, I noticed Windows Credential Manager had aad-iv and aad-key credentials added back. So... I would try removing just those 2 and see what happens.
I resolved this by deleting the contents of this folder (Mac): ~/Library/Application Support/vscode-mssql/AAD.
I believe the equivalent on Windows would be something like C:\Users\{username}\AppData\Roaming\vscode-mssql\Azure Accounts.
I did the same as benmcf. However, I also deleted the AAD folder:
C:\Users\{user}\AppData\Roaming\vscode-mssql\AAD
After it, I uninstalled the MSSQL extension and installed again. Then it worked.
I can't make Sitecore Analytics working. I have Sitecore 6.6.0 (rev. 121015) and installed Sitecore DMS.
1) when i go to Sitecore->Marketing Center i get error XML Parsing Error: no element found
2) when i go to Sitecore->Content Editor, choose element and press Analyze->Reports I get error You do not have permission to see any item reports
3) In Content Editor when press Analyze->Goals get Cannot use Analytics with a database that has no definition items error
4) in logs I see following:
"Exception: System.InvalidOperationException
Message: Cannot use Analytics with a database that has no settings"
5) If I change url that i get trying to open Marketing Center (changing Marketing%20Center.aspx to Marketing%20Center/default.aspx) I get Cannot use Analytics with a database that has no definition items error
6) I have in my Sitecore.Analytics.config this tag:
<setting name="Analytics.DefaultDefinitionDatabase" value="web" />
I tried to give access to analytics database from SQL Management Studio, but didn't help.
What could be the reason of this error, and how to solve it?
Your errors seem to suggest that the database is missing data. Did you use the database provided on this page, http://sdn.sitecore.net/Products/Sitecore%20V5/Sitecore%20CMS%206/Update/6_6_0_rev_121015.aspx ?
Go to the link above, scroll down to Download DMS 6.6.0 rev. 121015 for Sitecore CMS 6.6.0 rev.121015 and click the Download DMS 6.6.0 rev.121015 under SQL Server. Attach this database to your server and try again.
I haven't seen these errors, but it sounds to me like Sitecore is not able to access the Analytics database at all. You do have a connection string in ConnectionStrings.config named "analytics"? Try using the sa account just to make sure it's not a permissions issue. Don't forget to change it back from sa either way.
(caveat: I haven't used DMS yet, just OMS... it's possible I am way behind the times)
Publish your site (to web). You might be trying to analyze data that isn't live.
I just erased my previous answer as that was a consequence of what was wrong, but not the actual cause...
In the Analytics code, the Marketing Center node is requested from the current database. If it cannot find that item (which IS in the master database), you get the error.
But the code will NOT find the marketing center item if the security settings prevent the anonymous user read access...
That is where the error occured for me, when I was an anonymous user... And effectively, when looking at the security settings for the Marketing Center Item I found that inheritance had been blocked, hence preventing read access for the anonymous user...
Another reason this error sometimes occurs is when you have a production environment where there is no access to the master database.
Since the Analytics code uses the "master" database as the default definition database unless otherwise specified in the config settings, you could add the following to analytics.config:
<setting name="Analytics.DefaultDefinitionDatabase" value="web" />
That way, it will fallback to the web database in case of a production environment without master database.
Hope this helps...

The issue is due to Sitecore not being able to read the definition items in the master/web database (depending on the Analytics.DefaultDefinitionDatabase setting).
The items it is looking for are:
/sitecore/system/Marketing Control Panel
/sitecore/system/Settings/Analytics
When the request is running, the user is default\Anonymous. Using Access Viewer, make sure there are no security settings disabling read access to these items. This includes parent items that would have a trickle-down effect.
I am executing the query for my custom object created in SFDC. but i am getting the following error:

Please reference your WSDL or the describe call for the appropriate names.","errorCode":"INVALID_TYPE"}]'} Thoough have written the correct table name as given while i created the Custom object. PLease help.
First thing to try: does it work properly when run as the system administrator profile? If so then it's certainly a permissions issue. Things to checl
The object is deployed (Setup > Create > Objects > Edit > Deployment Status)
The profile has permission to query the object.
If not, does that same query work from inside the developer console? If so I can't think of what it might be, except connecting to production instead of a sandbox or vice versa.
I am using SQL Server 2008 Reporting Services and set mode remotely. All is going fine and reports running on my machine. I am not using report viewer control, but switch to browser.
Problem is that when I access the report from any other system in browser by providing required url. I m getting the following premission error:
Server Error in /ReportServer Application. Access is denied:

I have go through all step of this article "http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms365170.aspx" and set remotly premession but after all changes no success and getting same error.
Please some one can tell me or provide step list, that how can I set the premession? that the report can run from other machine. Quick and detail response will
This link should give you some more steps to follow to set up the permissions as this sounds like a permissions error.
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa337491.aspx
Also .... does it prompt for a username and password when you visit the site from another machine? if not you may need to add the required authentication methods into IIS (just an idea)
Then create a local (or domain) account for people to use to browse reports and use the properties tab on the report server home page to add them as 'Browser' type members.
When you visit the reports site from another PC it should prompt for sign in details (may not on a domain - not sure), if it errors before showing the home page then it is a security config issue, once you get in you may have a bit more tinkering to do to get the reports to run, but you tend to get slightly more verbose descriptions then so its not too hard to figure out and it normally database security permissions related.
Best of luck.

I am trying to impersonate a domain user account in a WPF application so the application can write to a folder on the network. The domain user has sufficient rights to write to this location.
I'm using some code found on the net to perform the impersonation.
Basically, it calls the native LogonUser method which returns a security token, then create a new WindowsIdentity passing the token and finally calling the windowsIdentity.Impersonate() method.
I get no exceptions executing above logic.
Calling WindowsIdentity.GetCurrent() -> returns impersonated identity.
Writing to the UNC path -> UnauthorizedAccess exception.
So, I inspect the Thread.CurrentPrincipal object before I try to write the file, this has a GenericPrincipal, and not a WindowsPrincipal with the impersonated WindowsIdentity.
So in the startup of the application I set the AppDomain.CurrentAppDomain.SetPrincipalPolicy to PrincipalPolicy.Impersonate.
I restart my application...
Before my call to impersonate, i can see my own credentials on Thread.CurrentPrincipal, the ones that i'm using to log onto my development machine and which is executing my WPF program.
I again try to run the impersonation logic, again I see the impersonated identity on WindowsIdentity.GetCurrent, all seems fine, no exceptions
However on Thread.GetCurrentPrincipal I still see my own credentials, and if I look at the AuthenticationType property, there is an UnauthorizedException (which is only visible in the debugger, it is not being thrown in the application !!). I let the code run.
Again, UnauthorizedAccess when trying to write my file on the UNC location.
Last thing I tried is to create a new WindowsPrincipal with WindowsIdentity.GetCurrent()
and I explicitly set it on Thread.Current, but same result.
UnauthorizedAccess when a write to the UNC location.
I'm out of ideas :)
Does the machine with network share belong is in the domain?
Did you try accessing network share using that domain account? For instance using "Run As...".
In LogonUser function try to use LOGON32_LOGON_NETWORK flag, when doing logon.
Also to see if impersonation actually took place try to enable auditing of Logon/Logoff events from security policy (info link)
