Does anyone have issue applying SQL Server SP1 Cumulative updates CU7? The upgrade was very smooth in the Staging but Production I have nothing but trouble. See the snippet below:

hi,

here before i created SQL backup to Azure Cloud ( BLOB- by passing url & Key).

Now i need to deploy SQL backup to Google Cloud Storage ? is it  possible .. how to accomplish this?

For some reason Windows Update (On Windows Server 2012) are not picking up the CU for SQL Server SP2.  It did find the SP2 update, but not the Cumulative Updates.

Anyone know why?

Hi All...

I have a cluster environment with 2 node cluster.

I have found that there are different MSSQL server service accounts for both the nodes.

Due to that, SQL server services in node 2 has stopped working. but still, I have access to a Database.

kindly guide me how to fix that.

Thanks in advance.

I am attempting to learn more about the machine learning capabilities of SQL 2017.

However, when I attempt to run Python scripts, I keep getting the error highlighted in the subject.

I have reinstalled SQL Server several times, with no improvement.

At one point, I was looking through the EXTLAUNCHERLOG and noticed the R seemed to have started OK.

The log follows:

'

@script=N'

OutputDataSet = InputDataSet;

',

@input_data_1 =N'SELECT 1 AS hello'

WITH RESULT SETS (([hello] int not null));

GO

I get the error as shown here:

Unable to launch runtime for 'Python' script. Please check the configuration of the 'Python' runtime.

Msg 39019, Level 16, State 2, Line 1

An external script error occurred:

Please advise.

Many thanks.

Hi!

I'd like to upgrade my SSRS 2012 and 2016 instances to SSRS 2017. Upgrading from 2012 to 2016 was fine. However, when I run the stand-alone installer for SSRS 2017 I get no option to upgrade but only install and configure later. I've searched the documentation which is a mix of 2016 and 2017 references but have failed to find an answer.

Can I upgrade from SSRS 2016 to 2017 and if so, how?

The OS is W2K12 and the SSRS instance is named.

Thanks/U

Hi All,

If we are on SQL 2012 SP4(11.0.7001.0) and install KB4091266 directly. Does this mean we have missed fixes included in KB4057116 ?

Hello,

We are getting the following errors in our SQL Server 2016 servers. These messages are filled in error log.

Hi Team,

Could any one provide SSMS 2016 download path?. I tried but no luck. it is still going to 17.x.

We need SSMS 2016 for some testing.

when I have used the administrator account to install SQL 2014 it worked fine from a chef, but when I am using local user part of administrator group and also domain user part of administrator group it failed with below error.

We have upgraded our sql server 2012 instances to service pack 4 and the meltdown patch 7462.

All seems well except for some reporting services instances We get an issue with report builder. The issue is present with the patch 7462 but goes away when we uninstall the patch 7462 (running at sp4)

We are reluctant to uninstall the patch, but the facility is required on the live system. Any help is appreciated

Hi,

I am trying to upgrade an instance of 200R2 Express to 2012 Evaluation.

At the "Upgrade Rules" section I receive an error message stating:

"SQL Server 2012 Feature Upgrade Failed"

"The specified edition upgrade is not supported. For information about supported upgrade paths, see the SQL Server 2012 version and edition upgrade in Books Online."

The link below states it should be possible to upgrade from 2008R2 Express to 2012:

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/previous-versions/sql/sql-server-2012/ms143393(v=sql.110)

hi 

shall i disable below services from production server  (Customer Experience Improvement Programme ?  is there any depends?

pros / cons ? 

SQL Analysis Services CEIP
SQL Server CEIP service
SQL Server Integration Services CEIP service

Good morning,

I'm trying to install SQL Server 2008 R2 on a Windows 2012 R2 cluster, but have hit a bit of a barrier.

Everything has gone swimmingly, up until the "Cluster Security Policy" page.  I am EXPECTING to see the following:

But am, in fact, seeing this:

Where has the "Use Service SIDs" default option gone?  I'm certain its the same install media that I've used a hundred times, but now this option has vanished?

What would the recommendation be to do in its absence?  Just create 2 AD groups with appropriate names and carry on?

Any help here would be massively appreciated!

Andy

When setting up a 2nd instance of SQL 2012 Express, I need to change the service accounts from the default to NT Authority\System.

Any reason for this?

Ok to do this?

Thanks!

We want to migrate our SQL on premise(sql 2008, sql 2012, and 2014) to the Azure cloud (sql 2016).

A backup of the database will be done for the on premise databases then this will be restored on a sql 2016 located in Azure.

Do we need to take any special steps?  Does the database get upgraded when it moves to a newer version of sql?,... and what do we need to do for this upgrade?

dsk

Server is running 2012 r2, domain controller.

1st instance is running production software so I don't want to have to rebuild that instance so a complete uninstall isn't an option.

Changed service accounts on 2nd instance from default to NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM.

The following error has occurred:

SQL Server Browser service group does not exist. Check for earlier failures in the setup.

Error installing SQL Server Database Engine Services Instance Features
SQL Server Browser service group does not exist. Check for earlier failures in the setup.
Error code: 0x84C5C74B

An error occurred for a dependency of the feature causing the setup process for the feature to fail.

Some have said creating security groups can fix this.  Can anyone confirm this or provide other solutions?

Thanks!
