Even if the file does get deleted the user might accidently run it twice (for whatever reason) and it creates another admin account he may not be aware of. Is not that it is a big deal but an easy fix for a small issue.

delete the setup file then..

but you still need the database username and password to run the setup script...

i really dont see the problem here, but i might be stupid

the search and get info thing has been corrected in the last versions i think.. or am i wrong?

While it won't recreate tables it does re-create the admin account and that's my issue. It could be more secure and it isn't.]]> Sun, 18 Jan 2004 11:17:16 +0000 https://forums.webwiz.net/mssql-set-up-security_topic8991_post47657.html#47657 <![CDATA[MSSQL set up security?? : if a table and stored procedure...]]> https://forums.webwiz.net/mssql-set-up-security_topic8991_post47656.html#47656 Author: Semikolon

if a table and stored procedure already exsists the script wont recreate them.. and you need the username and password for the sql database to run the script, so i dont know what youre afraid of

Exactly, so addressing issues that you can control is the best solution over ignoring them and telling people over and over to read the instructions.]]> Sun, 18 Jan 2004 09:46:10 +0000 https://forums.webwiz.net/mssql-set-up-security_topic8991_post47647.html#47647 <![CDATA[MSSQL set up security?? : Make something idiot proof, and...]]> https://forums.webwiz.net/mssql-set-up-security_topic8991_post47610.html#47610 Author: dpyers

I kind of have to agree with Jamal, even though I would not consider that a hole or bug but more of a cosmetic improvement. You know how many people do what they are not supposed to, if the setup is somewhat slow they may hit refresh on the page and yit they have two admin accounts. Agreed though, this file should be deleted immediately....]]> Sat, 17 Jan 2004 22:16:40 +0000 https://forums.webwiz.net/mssql-set-up-security_topic8991_post47601.html#47601 <![CDATA[MSSQL set up security?? : You can shoot it to the mountain...]]> https://forums.webwiz.net/mssql-set-up-security_topic8991_post47536.html#47536 Author: ljamal

You can shoot it to the mountain top, but that doesn't mean it won't be done. I always thought the idea behind building applications was to make them as idiot proof as possible. A simple SQL if clause would make this a unfactor, so why all the opposition?
