I need to download SQL Server 2014 CU2 from somewhere as it doesn't seem to be available from Microsoft downloads anymore.
The requirement is quite stringent, we have a Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2016 installation and the SQL Server it is installed on is SQL Server 2014 Standard Edition with no CU or SP installed. The NAV documentation doesn't state that any of the 2014 Service Packs are supported but I have an issue with the SQL Server counters under WMI, they don't exist.
Currently I cant look at any of the performance stats under PerfMon because the counters don't exist. The SQL Server Agent and SSIS counters do, just not the needed SQL Server ones.
I have ran the "lodctl perf-MSSQLSERVERsqlctr.ini" but it states the counters are already loaded. I have checked the registry entry under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\MSSQLSERVER\Performance but the entry for "Disable Performance Counters" doesn't exist.
We get an error which shows as the following.
Cannot create (or open) named file mapping object 'Global\SQL_110_MEMOBJ_24_MSSQLSERVER_0'. SQL Server performance counters are disabled.
When I have search for this I come across the following.
https://support.microsoft.com/en-gb/help/2973444/fix-sql-server-performance-counters-are-disabled-when-you-move-the-sql
This suggests installing Cumulative Update 2 but the link eventually tells us that it is no longer available to download.
So I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place. The version of NAV we are running doesn't state any of the Service Packs for SQL Server 2014 are compatible but to be able to get the performance stats using PerfMon requires the counters but the hotfix to allow the counters to be available is no longer available.
Hope someone can help.
