T-SQL to give domain accounts sysadmin access

For those moments where you can only get access via osql.exe....

CREATE LOGIN [Domain\UserName] FROM WINDOWS;
GO


EXEC master..sp_addsrvrolemember [Domain\UserName],'sysadmin'


GO

Why yes. I did just lock myself out of a server accidentally this morning. Where Management Studio wasn't installed. Go figure.

  1. Hello Jane,

    Thank you so much for replying to my comment on Sepha's blog. My husband is still healthy. I am glad to hear everyone is doing well, and I still say a little prayer for Sepha and her family even though I never knew any of them.

    Please take care of yourself!
    Melissa
