Support-Tip: (FIM Service MA): stopped-server - Error: 15517: State: 1.  Cannot execute as the database principal because the principal "dbo" does not exist this type of principal cannot be impersonated or you do not have permission.

  • Article

The "stopped-server" run status is one of those that keeps popping up and having different causes to the run status.  This one I encountered was quite interesting.Â

SCENARIO

  • Export on the FIM Service Management Agent returns a "stopped-server" run status.  In this scenario, the Full and Delta Imports both worked successfully, but the export always failed with the "stopped-server"

TROUBLESHOOTING

  • Review the SQL Server Error Logs while running the Export and/or capture a SQL Server Profiler Trace and the below exceptions may appear.  The SQL Server Profiler trace will provide more information about the user generating these exceptions.
  • SQL SERVER EXCEPTIONS :
    • an exception occurred while enqueueing a message in the target queue.  Error: 15517: State: 1.  Cannot execute as the database principal because the principal "dbo" does not exist this type of principal cannot be impersonated or you do not have permission.
    • The activated proc 'sync.receiveexportmessageoninitiator running on queue 'FIMService.Sync.//Microsoft/ResourceManagement/Queue/ExportInitiation' output the following 'Cannot execute as the database principal because the principal "dbo" does not exist" this type of principal cannot be impersonated, or you do not have permission"
