CREATE CERTIFICATE From Backup: Error Message
Jul 16, 2005Hi,

View 3 Replieshi all,
i m trying to send message between different server instance using service broker.
and for security purpose i am trying to create certificate. for that i have used makecert.exe and get a certificate and a private key. but when i am creating certificate using that file it is showing error
the code is --
CREATE CERTIFICATE ctfSourceServerMaster
FROM FILE = 'C:SourceServer.cer'
WITH PRIVATE KEY ( FILE = 'C:SourceServer.pvk', DECRYPTION BY PASSWORD = 'PrivateKeyPassword' )
ACTIVE FOR BEGIN_DIALOG = ON
GO
i have created the file SourceServer.cer' and SourceServer.pvk' by using makecert.exe tool.
the idea behind creating the certificate ctfSourceServerMaster is to give transport security.
I am running the particular script in the master database.
but still i am getting error
ERROR:----
The certificate, asymmetric key, or private key file does not exist or has invalid format.
If any body has any idea please help!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks a lot in advance
When we are doing our backup of our SQL servor there is one database that won't backup. The user that created it named in Vendor Insurance Compliance with spaces in between the words. The error message that we're getting from the backup is incorrect syntax near 'Insurance' Error number 10007. Is it beacuse of the spaces in between the names? I'm fairly new to SQL server - are you allowed to put blanks in the names?

"Backup can not be performed on database 'XMASNVENTORY'. This sub task is ignored."
This is the hourly transaction log backup. All of the other datbases backup fine, just this one fails. Any ideas?
Thanks
Hello,
Anyone knows why I am getting this error €œNon-SysAdmins have been denied permission to run DTS Execution job steps without a proxy account.", when I run a differencial backup. I used an administrator account to create the job. Any suggestions

Hi,Just recently I am getting the following error when trying to connect to an SQL DB: Exception has been thrown by target of an invocation. This happens even if I create a new website/solution. Procedure I use:open server explorer and click on create a new connectionchoose SQL server from the listenter my IP address and credentials, click on test and everything is fine. When I go to select the DB the dropdown box is empty, if I type in my database name and click on ok I get the following message:Exception has been thrown by target of an invocationI know it is nothing to do with SQL or credentials as I can create a datasource to my SQL server using my colleagues computer!I have removed VS 2005 from my computer and reinstalled only to be met with the same problem.reinstalling my computer is a last resort!Any ideas?Cheers, Ps, I can connect to my DB using VB code behind.

Hi,
This is my first posting and actually I have big problem which I need to resolve immediately:
I have a 38 GB Database on my SQL Server which I want to full-backup. Until now backup was created on the same volume where the database resides. But now the volume is out of disk space. So what we did is that we connected an external USB disk drive with 500 GB to the SQL Server and try to backup there.
But our first and all consecutive backup attemps failed with error SQL-DMO (ODBC SQLState: 42000). It's working fine the first few minutes as we can see that the backup file is continously growing. But then it abruptly aborts with above error message.
Can anyone figure out why ? Any help is appreciated.
Thx

I've problems with backing up the certificate (on the Witness Server). On principal and mirror, it works fine (Win 2003 Server, US English), but on my local PC (XP Prof, German) what i use as witness Server following backup command raises an error:
USE master;
CREATE MASTER KEY ENCRYPTION BY PASSWORD = 'something$Strong123';
CREATE CERTIFICATE HOST_W_cert WITH SUBJECT = 'HOST_W certificate for database mirroring', START_DATE = '01/01/2006', EXPIRY_DATE = '12/31/2050';
BACKUP CERTIFICATE HOST_W_cert TO FILE = 'C:HOST_W_cert.cer';
The error message is:
Msg 15240, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Cannot write into file 'C:HOST_W_cert.cer'. Verify that you have write permissions, that the file path is valid, and that the file does not already exist.
I connect to the database with a domain user what is a local admin on the witness server (my local user), so this couldn't be a permission reason. The file doesn't already exists, so that is not the problem.
What could it be?

hey,
I am
having a weired issue(donno whether its weired or not.). I have a user
who has db_owner rights on a database. But when he is trying to create
a certificate he is getting error.
"Msg 15247, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
User does not have permission to perform this action."
Remember he is having db_owner rights on that particular database. is there any other permission that i have to give him.
Hi,
I have created a certificate and now have taken a backup of this file by the following code:
backup certificate EncrProdCode to file = 'C:BackupCertEncrBackup.cer'
with private key(file = 'C:BackupCertEncrPrivKeyBackup.pvk',
encryption by password = 'EncrPrivKeyBackuppwd')
Now i want to create a certificate IN DIFFERENT DATABASE from this file. i m using the following database:
create certificate EncrFromFile from file = 'C:BackupCertEncrBackup.cer'
with private key(file = 'C:BackupCertEncrPrivKeyBackup.pvk',
decryption by password = 'EncrPrivKeyBackuppwd')
But is showing error:
Msg 15232, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
A certificate with name 'EncrFromFile' already exists or this certificate already has been added to the database.
No certificate with this name exists. why i m getting this error. and how can use the same certificate in other database. Is there any other way to create a certificate from an existing certificate file.
Thanks

Hi,
Just wondering if anyone knows if you can create a certificate from a byte[]. For example, you can create an assembly using CREATE ASSEMBLY FROM 0x...; specifying the hex representation of it - can you do the same with a certificate? This means that you don't need to save the file to disk before loading it into the database.
Cheers,
Adam
Hi,
Does anyone know if there's a way to create a certificate from a hex string rather than a backup file? i.e:
Code Snippet
create certificate from 0x123ABC...;
rather than
create certificate from 'C:mycert.cer' (or whatever the syntax is)
I know that you can do this for assemblies (and in fact I use this) - is there an equivalent for certificates? If not, why not?
Cheers,
Adam
Greetings...
I'm trying to create a user (from certificate):
USE master
GO
CREATE CERTIFICATE UnsafeSample_Certificate
ENCRYPTION BY PASSWORD = 'All you need is love'
WITH SUBJECT = 'Certificate for example_sp',
START_DATE = '20070201', EXPIRY_DATE = '21000101';
BACKUP CERTIFICATE UnsafeSample_Certificate TO FILE = 'C:Documents and SettingsAll UsersDocumentshunterSampleCert.cer'
WITH PRIVATE KEY (FILE = 'C:Documents and SettingsAll UsersDocumentshunterSampleCert.pvk',
ENCRYPTION BY PASSWORD = 'Tomorrow never knows',
DECRYPTION BY PASSWORD = 'All you need is love');
CREATE USER UnsafeSample_Login
FROM CERTIFICATE UnsafeSample_Certificate;
GRANT EXTERNAL ACCESS ASSEMBLY
TO UnsafeSample_Login;
But I'm getting error: "Cannot find the login 'UnsafeSample_Login4', because it does not exist or you do not have permission."
Where i should change rights? User (which i'm using to connect to server) has "sysadmin" server role...
NOONE ASKED FOR THIS!!! why the heck is BACKUP CERTIFICATE altering the file's ACLs - it's just a PUBLIC CERT I'm exporting!!
in additions MS doesn't seem able to add the ability to re-inherit file-rights from parent objects via the command-shell.
I export the public-key for a reason! I want to import it on another machine (automatically) to establish a trust. But this freaking "feature" is costing me HOURS of research on how to get rid of these ACLs on a public certificate!!!
argh!!!
sorry, I really had to get this out!
why not at least give us a switch we can set in BACKUP CERTIFICATE command to stop this from happening?
is there a work-around? now I need to activate
EXEC sp_configure 'show advanced options', 1
and
EXEC sp_configure 'xp_cmdshell', 1
just to be able to issue a (not working) DOS command cacls... to try to fix the "feature".
there's got to be a better way!!!
also - why can't there be a switch to force overwriting the target file, if it already exists? It's a BIG PAIN having to do lots of other stuff, just to be able to "backup" the certificate!
You gave us "xp_FileExist", but no xp_FileDelete with similar parameters!! again, I need to issue DOS COMMANDS just to do stuff I would not have to if someone at the levers was actually activating the back-brain!
PLEASE give me some hints on how MS recommends to solve these features!

Hi,
I ran the script below fine in my Dev environment, bit it fails in production. Any ideas?
CREATE ENDPOINT SsbInitiatorEndpoint
STATE = STARTED
AS TCP (LISTENER_PORT = 5022)
FOR SERVICE_BROKER
(
AUTHENTICATION = WINDOWS
)
GO
CREATE MASTER KEY
ENCRYPTION BY PASSWORD = N'mypassword'
GO
CREATE CERTIFICATE SsbInitiatorCertificate
AUTHORIZATION SsbInitiatorUser
FROM FILE = N'D:SysapplMssql2005MSSQL$INSTANCENAMECertificatesSsbInitiator.cer'
WITH PRIVATE KEY
(
FILE = 'D:SysapplMssql2005MSSQL$INSTANCENAMECertificatesSsbInitiator.pvk',
DECRYPTION BY PASSWORD = 'mypassword'
)
GO
The error occurs on the CREATE CERTIFICATE statement:
Msg 15208, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
The certificate, asymmetric key, or private key file does not exist or has invalid format.
I am logged on as a local admin when running the script. The SQL Server service account is also a local admin, and the account I am logged on as is sysadmin in SQL Server. This script works fine in my Dev environment and a separate Pre-Prod environment.
I'm using SQL Server 2005 SP2.
Thanks,
Mark.
I am trying to upgrade from SQL 2005 Standard to Enterprise in our Production environment. I am testing this currently on a VM to document and script the steps necessary what we would need to do during a maintenance window when I can have this server offline.
I am getting the following error:
'SQL Server Setup has encountered the following problem: [Microsoft][SQL Native Client][SQL Server]
The certificate cannot be dropped because one or more entities are either signed or encrypted using it.. To continue, correct the problem, and the run SQL Server Setup again.'
How can I find the entries, or remove them. We do not typically do this, and I explicitly didn't do this on the test server. I have tried this with 2 different VM builds and I'm getting the same error.
When going in to Control Panel, AddRemove Programs, SQL 2005 x64, Change, I can rerun the Suspended setup and it errors with the same Problem.
How can I get around this short of uninstalling and reinstalling the product? Is there another part of the SKUupgrade switch I need to append? I'm saving this as a batch file and running it from the command line.
Here is my command line entry:
Net use Z: /delete
Net use Z: "\<Fileserver>SoftwareMicrosoftSQL2005Enterprise Edition x64"
start /wait Z:serverssetup.exe ADDLOCAL=SQL_Engine INSTANCENAME=MSSQLSERVER UPGRADE=SQL_Engine SKUUPGRADE=1 /qb
When opening Visual Studio 2005 and creating a new project my computer sometimes crashes (blue screen).
The System Error with source MSSQL$SQLEXPRESS and description: Fallback certificate initialization failed. Error: 1 (Event-ID: 17190) is found in the programlog.
Do anyone know the source of this error/what is causing it? How can I fix it?

Hi, We are trying to implement Service Broker between SQL Server Express and SQL Server on the Same machine and we are having problems with certificates. We are creating a certificate on SQL Server, backing up the certificate on a file system and then loading certificate on the SQL Server Express from the file and we are keep getting the following error: Msg 15208, Level 16, State 1, Line 1 The certificate, asymmetric key, or private key file does not exist or has invalid format.
Following script runs fine on SQL Server.
Code Snippet
use master
Create Master Key Encryption BY Password = '45Gme*3^&fwu';
BACKUP MASTER KEY TO FILE = 'C:ServiceBrokerPrivateKeyMasterB.pvk'
ENCRYPTION BY PASSWORD = '45Gme*3^&fwu'
Create Certificate EndPointCertificateC
WITH Subject = 'C.Server.Local',
START_DATE = '06/01/2006',
EXPIRY_DATE = '01/01/2008'
ACTIVE FOR BEGIN_DIALOG = ON;
BACKUP CERTIFICATE EndPointCertificateC
TO FILE = 'C:ServiceBrokerEndPointCertificateC.cer'
Following script runs on SQL Server Express:
Code Snippet
Create Certificate EndPointCertificateC
From FILE = 'C:ServiceBrokerEndPointCertificateC.cer'
WITH PRIVATE KEY (
FILE = 'C:ServiceBrokerPrivateKeyMasterB.pvk',
DECRYPTION BY PASSWORD = '45Gme*3^&fwu'
);
If we run the script other way around, it works fine. If we use the SQL Server on some other machine, the script works fine. But only on the same machine, it throws this error. We made sure the permissions and everything. Let us know if there is any work around or what are we doing wrong.
Any help is appreciated. Thank you,

Hi -
I have an File System Task that copies a file from one directory ot another. When I hard code the target directory (c:dirfile.txt) it works fine. When I change it to a virtual directory (\serverdirfile.txt) I get a security error:
[File System Task] Error: An error occurred with the following error message: "Access to the path '\gracehbtest oS2TMM_Live_Title_000002.xml' is denied.".
Where do I change the security settings?
Thanks - Grace
I attempted to setup database mirroring using a High Availability scenario but when I installed SQL is chose to use local system accounts for all the services. Consequently, I stubled upon a microsoft article explaining how to setup mirroring using local system accounts and certificate authentication but I am stil not able to get it to work. When I try ti initiate the mirror from the mirror server I receive an error stating "Neither the partner nor the witness server instance for database "EDENLive" is available. Reissue the command when at least one of the instances becomes available." I have checked all the endpoints and everything seems to be in order. I even checked to make sure that each server was listening on the appropriate ports and I AM able to telnet to the ports. Please help!
I'm trying to use an XML Task to do a simple XSLT operation, but it fails with this error message:
[XML Task] Error: An error occurred with the following error message: "There are multiple root elements. Line 5, position 2.".
The source XML file validates fine and I've successfully used it as the XML Source in a data flow task to load some SQL Server tables. It has very few line breaks, so the first 5 lines are pretty long: almost 4000 characters, including 34 start-tags, 19 end-tags, and 2 empty element tags. Here's the very beginning of it:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<ESDU releaselevel="2006-02" createdate="26 May 2006"><package id="1" title="_standard" shorttitle="_standard" filename="pk_stan" supplementdate="01/05/2005" supplementlevel="1"><abstract><![CDATA[This package contains the standard ESDU Series.]]></abstract>
There is only 1 ESDU root element and only 1 package element.
Of course, the XSLT stylesheet is also an XML document in its own right. I specify it directly in the XML Task:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"/>
<xsl:template name="identity" match="@*|node()">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates select="@*|node()"/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="kw">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates select="@*"/>
<xsl:attribute name="ihs_cats_seq" select="position()"/>
<xsl:apply-templates select="node()"/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
Its 5th line is the first xsl:template element.
What is going on here? I do not see multiple root elements in either the XML document or the XSLT stylesheet.
Thanks!
Hi all,
I am trying to create a view with approx. 3000 columns... and got the following error message:
"CREATE VIEW failed because column 'HSEPRIN' in view 'MyTestView' exceeds the maximum of 1024 columns.
Is it mean the max number of columns for each table is 1024? I thought in SQL server the table can contain as much information as possible.
Anyone can help to answer my question?
Thank you in advance.
In SQL Server 7.0 I right click on the database, select Tasks, Select backup, then indicate backup of database (complete) to tape. Overwrite (I put tape into NT Server), OK, then it says backup in progress and then I get the message shown in the subject...
Any advice please? I have backed up NT files on this tape before and have tried a second tape...
Thanks much,

The problem is as follows. SQL Express 2008 R2, backup is made by the means of bat file and sp. Need to have a table that would hold columns like 'date_of_backup', 'duration', 'message' (the one that appears on 'messages' tab in the result area after backup completion/failure). This is an example of real message that I want to catch:
Server: Msg 911, Level 16, State 11, Line 1
Database 'not_existing_db' does not exist. Make sure that the name is entered correctly.
Server: Msg 3013, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
BACKUP DATABASE is terminating abnormally.
I recently installed VB Studio Express 2008, which also installed SQL Server Compact Edition. I was going thro the online tutorial from Microsoft, which tells you to create a connection to the Northwind DB. But, when I tried to connect, I get an error message saying access is not allowed. Note that the is running under Vista Home Premium. I have tried searching for an answer to this question, but have not found an answer that solves my problem. The closest was a similar problem for a C# application running in Internet Explorer, and the answer for that one was to change security settings in IE. But, for this demo, IE was not involved.

While backing up our database, I am getting the following message:
Could not insert a backup or restore history/detail record in msdb.dbo.sysbackuphistory or sysrestorehistory. This may indicate a problem with the MSDB database. DUMP/LOAD was still successful. (Message 3009)
Does anybody have any resolution for the same ?
