I have searched this forum and my SQL SERVER 2005 book by Wrox and have not found the information to get around this issue.

D2D2

We have 2 clustered SQL instances (2 physical servers in each cluster). Instance2 needs to be setup as a linked server on Instance1.

At this time port 1433 between them is not open. I am referring to the port on the network switch, not in the Windows Firewall (ports in Windows Firewall are already open).

Is opening the port between virtual IP-s sufficient? Or does port need to be open between all physical source/destination IP-s as well?

Hello All,

     I have a sql 2005 database on 2003, we are migrating this server over to 2008R2 as a clean install rather then an upgrade. I backuped up and moved over the databases as well as the logins and passwords. Everything works except one database that uses symmetric keys. I tried to create a master key for the database but it said one already existed. The symetic key already exists in the database, I can see it in SSMS. My question is how do I get the encryption working again. I have an ASP.NET application written on top of the database. It uses stored procedures in the database, they open the key as follows:

symmetrickey CP_Login_Keydecryptionbypassword='password'

my question is how do I get the encryption working again?

Hi,

I'm about to setup a new virtual machine, VMware, to run a SQL server 2012 installation.  My question is about setting up the underlying Windows server. 

I'm planning on using Windows server 2012 R2 and wondering what do I need to include in the server installation? 

What roles or features should I install or configure? 

Should I plan to install SQL server on the C: drive or a separate drive?

Should I plan to create the databases on the same drive as the SQL installation?  I am thinking of separating the database files from the log files on separate drives, which will be on separate LUNs in the storage array, if I can.  But would it be better to have the three components on separate drives, the SQL instance, the database files and the log files?

What else should I be considering that I haven't mentioned above?

Thanks in advance,

Linn

Any suggestions what can be done? - Im am able to start the service with net start mssql$sql2012 /t902 and when starting it without /t902, i get 3547 Error.

Hello there,

Please forgive my ignorance, this is the first time I have performed this procedure.

Essentially I am upgrading SQL Server Standard 2008 r2 to SQL Server Standard 2012, however I have a question concerning the licensing. Do I use the 2008r2 Product Key for the 2012 upgrade? Will I need to get a brand new SQL Server 2012 Standard Product Key? I believe that 2012 licensing now deals with logical cores and the VM that is hosting SQL Server 2012 Standard has 4 logical cores.

Someone told me that I shouldn't have to worry about spending money on additional licences because we have everything we need already, but I wanted to be reassured from the professionals.

Any help is obviously greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Tom

 IN E.T.L ,MY QUERY IS GOING VERY LONG TIME , SO TABLE IS TRUNCATED EVERY DAY, I THINK SO TABLE DONT HAVE FREGNENTATION , SO HOW CAN SOLVE MY PROBLEM, I NEED TO INSERT DATA ORDER BY ?

  PLZ GIVE ME SOME ADVICE

THANK U

When trying to install SQL 2014 express on my W10 PC I get the error " Value cannot be Null. Parameter name: value". This seems to be during HKPerfCountersConfigAction_Repair_postmsi_Engine_Cpu64.  I can't see any way past this.  I have all Firewalls etc turned off.

Does anyone know what this issue might be?

SQL 2008R2 installs okay, but I can't use that on W10.

I have SQL Server 2008 R2 installed on Computer A. I want to remove it from Computer A and install it on Computer B. I have misplaced the original disk which I purchased for the install.

I presume I can download this product for the install on Computer B. I want it to be legitimate & licensed, though. Therefore, I want to locate the license or product key within the installed software or obtain it from Microsoft.

Windows Server 2008 R2 64bit. SQL 2008 R2 64bit.

The Windows Failover cluster is installed with 2 nodes. SQL Cluster was installed successfully on node 1. Ran SQL setup to add a SQL node 2. Made it to the service accounts screen. The SQL Server Agent service account name box is grayed out and nothing can be entered. If I hit next I get the following error. I can't get past this. I looked for any cumulitive updates for R2, but there aren't any. Does anyone have a work around? If not I will have to scrap the install and go back to the non R2 version of SQL.

[Error Message]
The credentials you provided for the SQL Server Agent service are invalid. To continue, provide a valid account and password for the SQL Server Agent service.

Hy,

some year ago, as a total newbie, I installed a server with a named instance. At that time I used a physical server, and moreover I probably  thought that SQL 2005 was the last version name for SQL server, so I named my instance with something like"hpserver\sql2005"...

Today I have a virtualized system, and I need to migrate SQL2005 to SQL 2014 (or 2016) and I would like to "rename" that instance.

The matter is that in last years more and more programs both with ODBC and ADO.NET connect to my server, and it's impossible to change all this programs in short time to connect to a new server.

My answer so is: it is possible to install a new server, named for example "ALPHA", and find some way to "redirect" all requests for older server to newest? I made some test and my matter is not (obviously) computer name, that I can mask with DNS, but instance name...

Hoping someone can help to correct my youth errors...

thanks

Mauro

Will installing another instance restart other instances?

Server is Windows Server 2012 R2, SQL Server is 2012.

Kind regards.

I recieved this error while installing sql server r2 :

An error occurred during the installation of assembly 'microsoft.vc80.CRT', Public Key Token="1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b", Type="Win32", Version="8.0.50727.762" HRESULT: 0x8007054F

I was attempting to Install SQL 2014 on my Windows 10 (Pro) machine. The installation failed to install the engine, reporting services, analysis services.. it reported an "Invalid Driver" error as the cause... Going back to retry adding those features failed to work, as the setup tool reported them as installed..  So I went through the control panel and Uninstalled all the SQL server components ... now when I attempt to re-install SQL Server, I get to the step to specify the Instance name.. I'd prefer to continue to use the default "MSSQLSERVER" instance name, however the install fails, telling me that the instance name is already in use..

How can I remove the instance name ?  I uninstalled SQL Server already... ? how is the instance still registered as in use?
