BUILTIN\Administrator on SYSADMIN Role for SQL7

[ITGL72 0]

I was working on a fresh install of SQL7 SP4 on an NT4 SP6a server.

Going through the MBSA on some recommended fixes I removed the

BUILTIN\Administrator account from the SYSADMIN ROLE.

 

I guess the morning coffee had not kicked in yet.

 

The only thing that is in there is the "SA" account.

 

Well I'm a bit stuck now. I am hoping I do not have to reinstall SQL7.

 

I am unable to administer what I need to now on the SQL Server.

 

Can I get the BUILTIN\Administrator account back into the SYSADMIN ROLE,

or is there another route to take here?

 

Thanks!

You are looking at a nice reinstall i am afraid.

One of my guys did that once, it took him the hall night to sort it. and he reinstalled in the end. Have you ever spent 7 hours between cabinets
