Just having a discussion with a colleague , she made some changes in configuration and now when she creates a simple (not a system) stored procedure in master database it saves under Programmability –Stored Procedures–System Stored Procedures. Is it comfortable? No,right? After some investigation I found that we need to return ‘allow updates’ to 0 , see below script

EXEC sp_configure ‘allow updates’,0
reconfigure

Now everything got back to work in the ‘right’ place.

Remember if you connect to SQL Server using Windows group, you cannot define a default schema. It is greyed out. This means that if you want everyone to be in a specific schema, you can’t do it by default.

See reference

http://connect.microsoft.com/SQLServer/feedback/details/328585/default-schema-for-windows-group.

I hope finally MS will be addressing this issue in the next release of SQL Server named Denali (CTP 4)

/*

I’m happy to report that the next CTP for SQL Server Denali will allow default schemas to be assigned to Windows groups.

I’d like to thank everyone for their votes and attention to this issue. It made a different in being able to appropriately prioritize and make this improvement happen.

Il-Sung.
