SQL 2014 Upgrade Advisor Won't Detect SQL Instance

$
0
0

I installed the Upgrade Advisor on my workstation.  I was able to run the Advisor on 3 different servers from my workstation.  When I tried the last 2 servers, the Advisor would not detect my Instance on the server.

So, I installed the Advisor directly on the server and tried to run it again.  It still will not detect the instance.

I have check the port, I have checked the remote services settings. I have been into the registry to verify the MS SQL services entry has the correct information for the instance.

Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.


SQL Server 2005 Backward Compatibility

$

I am running SQL server 2008 R2, 64 bit, When i attempt to backup Blackbaud Financial Edge version 7.86 either manaully or via a scheudle, I am SUDDENLY getting error 'Executed as user: NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM. sqlmaint.exe failed.  [SQLSTATE 42000] (Error 22029). NOTE: The step was retried the requested number of times (1) without succeeding. The step failed.'

A Blackbaud Article (BB584984) says to install the SQL Server 2005 Backward Compatibility components.  What concerns me is why this broke suddenly and why the components would fix it, as I am wary of changing something without knowing why the fix should work, especially after it worked without the components for years.  Blackbaud will not support this part of my question, as they disclaim all support for SQL.

Any help would be appreciated.


Installing SQL Server 2012 on a new VM - Error Code 0x858C0017

TITLE: SQL Server Setup failure.
------------------------------

SQL Server Setup has encountered the following error:

The SQL Server product key is not valid. To proceed, re-enter the product key values from the Certificate of Authenticity (COA) or SQL Server packaging.

Error code 0x858C0017.

For help, click: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink?LinkID=20476&ProdName=Microsoft%20SQL%20Server&EvtSrc=setup.rll&EvtID=50000&EvtType=0xFDC38F1F%25400x75B506EA%25401420%254023

------------------------------
BUTTONS:

OK
------------------------------

I am trying to create a new dev environment and I'm using VMware Player running Windows Server 2008R2 SP1. I am able to run through the setup checks but when I hit "Next" I receive the error above. Also, I am able to install this on my personal computer - just not in my VM. Any way to solve this?

Thanks!

Edit: Just to clarify some things.

1) I am trying to install SQL Server 2012 Enterprise Edition.

2) I downloaded the .ISO file using my MSDN License and when I downloaded the file the text boxt next to it said that a product key was not required.

3) I went inside the setup directory and found the DefaultSetup.ini and there was a product key inside that has been confirmed by a rep to be a valid product key.




Building a Server for a Small SQL Database

$

My company has a relatively small DB ~10GB that grows maybe 200MB a year. We rarely have more than 4-5 concurrent connections and out of that never more than 2-3 intensive queries at a time. All the documentation for processors, drives, memory, etc..., seems to be geared toward huge datacenter loads hundreds, if not thousands, of times larger.

Is it really worth struggling over purchasing a dual e5-2650 v3 versus a  less expensive 2620 v3 or an intel dc3700 versus a somewhat cheaper Samsung or other?  Is a dedicated RAID controller really worth buying rather than using the new Intel Software Raid tech?

Currently, we have a dual e5-2640 setup with 32GB and things are running smoothly. However, we need a new backup server that may end up reversing roles with our current production server if it's significantly faster.

SQL Server 2014 on Windows 8.1 - Setup Failure - C:\Windows\Temp folder

$

Well, the title pretty much says it all.  I'm installing SQL Server 2014 Developer Edition on Windows 8.1 Pro.  The installation uses domain service accounts for all the services.  The installation progress well until the end.  Then, I get the following message:

Updating permission setting for folder C:\Windows\Temp failed.  The folder permission setting were supposed to be set to (and an ACL list followed by what looked like a object sid).

I'm running setup as administrator.

I tried to manually set the permissions, but that's not working (access is denied).  I also turned off user account control and hit retry.  That failed to.

So, before I go in there and take ownership of everything on the C drive, and grant myself full control over every file on the computer, I thought I ask for what I'm "supposed" to do.  I'm not going to tolerate this file control crap for very long.  I have better things to do.

 Hi Team,

We have SQL Server 2005 Standard Edition ( 64 bit ) with SP3 , GDR(4053) and Hotfix 1546.

SQL Build version - 9.0.4053

Before applying SQL Service Pack (SP4), executed the FindSQLInstalls.vbs to find the missing msi and msp file.

Fixed most of them from earlier Service Pack (SP3) and GDR, but output also show the below hotfix 1546 which isunavailable in microsoft portal.

Hi, I am experiencing the issues outlined in KB2494036 but when I click the download button it tells me the page you are looking for is no longer available. (Microsoft remote error page not browser error)

Does anyone know of any alternative official download locations, I have 2 hours left of my change window.


Error 997.Overlapped I/O operation is in progress.

I just encountered the:  “Error 997.Overlapped I/O operation is in progress.”

I had just attempted to download and install Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Express on my Windows 7 Professional (Service Pack 1); Processor: Intel® Core ™2 Duo CPU   E7500 @ 2.93GHz; Installed memory (RAM): 4.00 GB; System type: 64-bit Operating System computer.

I went to a specific Microsoft web-site (which your message says that I cannot display)

and clicked on the big red “Download” button. Then check marked: ENU\x64\SQLEXPRWT_x64_ENU.exe

I had selected Run (and not Save) so I did not have an opportunity to select “Run as administrator”.

The download took a little over an hour and the installation began on its own. I took screen shots along the way.  Ultimately I ended up with: “Error 997.Overlapped I/O operation is in progress.”

When the SQL Server Installation Center window appeared, I believe it paused there waiting for me to make a selection. I chose the first choice, “New SQL Server stand-alone installation…..”

I also have on this computer Microsoft SQL Server 2008 and Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 and I chose not to upgrade either.

Can you help me please with what to do next?  Thank you.

SQL2012 SSMS fail to connect named instance

$

Hi, Currently we would like to setup replication between 2 sql instances (binded to corresponding IP, listening on port 1433) on different servers (DUAT01, DUAT101). However, we found the SSMS cannot connect remote server A from server B using named instance.

The sql instances can be connected by using either IP or FQDN, however, that cannot fulfill the requirement on setting up replication as it require the instance to connect as "DUAT101\SQL2K8R2" instead of "x.x.x.x" or "SQLUATCSS2K8R2.domain.com".

We tried to change "Protocol"->"Listen All" from "No" to "Yes", then SSMS can connect the named instance successful in this format "DUAT101\SQL2K8R2", but the application using "SQLUATCSS2K8R2.domain.com" to connect sql instance was fail.

Pls advise how to make it possible to connect sql instance successful in both way. thanks.

SQL 2012 Standard license question to Microsoft

I have a 2 - cpu server with 6 cores per cpu.

If I disable 3 cores on each cpu in the BIOS can I use the 6 total remaining cores for the license count or do I have to

license all 12 cores even if they are disabled and not usable by the OS or SQL?

I want to keep the second cpu and memory controller for redundancy.

SQL Server Replication feature installation is failed when installed from dvd(SQL Server 2008 Standard)

$

HI All,

At first I have installed SQL Server 2008 Standard by enabling only one feature database engine services on windows server 2008 fom hard disk sql dump.

Later  we have started SQL Server 2008 Standard  installation again by adding the replicaiton feature from DVD. The replication feature installation is failed when installed from dvd. If the same feature when installed from hard disk the installlation is scuessfull.

And also i have identified that if all the above installation process is done using DVD(one media only instead of harddisk and dvd) the installaion process is sucessfull.

Is there any dependency on the media source is used for SQL Server 2008 standard feature installation.


The dreaded: The network address is invalid error - SQL 2014 Cluster on Server 2012 R2

$
0

Trying to setup an SQL 2014 Failover cluster on Windows Server 2012 R2 (two nodes). Every time I get to the assign a SQL server Network Name piece of the setup I get the following error message:

The given network name is unusable because there was a failure trying to determine if the network name is valid for use by the clustered SQL instance due to the following error: 'The network address is invalid.'

This happens whether I use the Advanced cluster installation procedures or the normal installation.  I have tried the following based on anything I can find on the web:

1) Removed the clustered MTDTC role.

2) Deleted the NIC Team (4 1GB NICs).  Deleted all but 1 NIC from the server device manager.

3) Shutdown the second node.

4) Lanman Server registry change posted someplace on this forum that does not stick on reboot

None of the above, separately or in combination, has worked to allow SQL 2014 to be installed as a cluster role.

There is no virtual machines added to the cluster.  This is not a VMware installation.  It is straight Windows 2012 R2 with a two node cluster (setup identically).

Any ideas, suggestions, comments?

Thanks,

-Andrew

Partition key on non primary key column

$
0
0

I have scenario where the table has defined non primary key column as "partition key".

I was wondering how it will affect the purge/archive process if the index and table are using different column (they are not aligned)?

What should be the solution to this scenario?

Can I use the non primary key column as partition key? Is this affect purging/archiving or switching -IN or OUT partitions?

Here is the article which Im following but didn't get the precise answer:

"When the indexes and the table use the same partitioning function and columns in the same order, the table and index are aligned." 

https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-US/library/ms345146%28v=SQL.90%29.aspx?f=255&MSPPError=-2147217396#sql2k5parti_topic9

Look at "Index Partitioning" and "Defining the Partitioning Key" section.

SQL server client configuration

$

Hi,

I have a working environment to my SQL server 2012 server. When I open the client config (cliconfg,exe) I see that the TCP/IP is under the disabled tab. I know it is working with TCP/IP. Why is this on the disabled tab? I also have another server with a local SQL server installation. When I open the SQL configuration manager program from the start menu (SQLServerManager11.msc) I see TCP/IP enabled in the server and client section. In the cliconfg tool I see TCP/IP disabled. 

Any ideas?

Regards

Danny

SQL Server and folder permission error

$

Hey All,

I am working on SQL Server Express 2008 R2. Basically, my setup file installs express edition and lets the user specify a folder to put the data files on. If user creates a new directory, say in D:\ drive, sql server gives error that it lacks permission to access the folder. Current user is administrator who just installed the sql server instance and all.

If I set the folder permission to full for user "Everyone", it attaches the database and works like a charm. I don't want that. What shall I do?

If it matters, application is developed with VS 2010

how to reduce DB size

$

0

Hi,

I am the happy owner of a SQL express 2008 R2 holding my DB.

I have my DB primary data file at 7 GB

In DB properties, I have initial size of primary db at 7022 MB, autogrowth = by 1 MB, unlimited.

I query table sizes with :

select object_name(id) [Table Name],
[Table Size] = convert (varchar, dpages * 8 / 1024) + 'MB'
from sysindexes where indid in (0,1)
order by dpages desc

total size of all my tables is then 1171 MB

I do shrink / files / file type = data => available free space is 0.25 MB

I'm afraid it will hit the 10 GB size.

How do I reduce the DB size ? it is possible to change the  initial size of primary db ?

thanks
