Does SQL Server Save Any Metadata In Registry Or Home Folder?
Jan 15, 2006
I have my SQL Server installation on drive c: and the databases on another
drive. My c drive got corrupted and I am planning to restore it from an old
backup. This means drive c will not be up to date.
Is there anything that SQL Server saves in the registry or in its home
folder that changes frequently? I am hoping that nothing does which means
the old backup will be good enough.
Although I think the default databases are in the c drive, I will try to
get them back from a recent backup.
Right now the default folder is Home, what if I have two users User1 and User2, my folder structure is the following - Home/User1 Home/User2
I want each user to only have access to their folder. That is easy to do.
Once both users have proper access to their folders they still don't have access to Home folder. In Report Builder when I do 'open file' it defaults to Home folder so I get an error. How can I specify the home folder to be User1 for that user and User2 for the second user? I know I can give them both browsing permissions to Home but it's not very elegant.
There must be a way to programmatically change the folder as soon as proper user logs in. Anyone knows how to do that?
Hi im trying to install Sql Server 2005 but it says i need to Increment the Counter Registry Key for Setup in SQL Server 2005 before doing so. Im following the guide at http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms143215.aspx but in my registry the folder HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindows NTCurrentVersionPerflibdoesnt contain any keys"Last Counter"=dword:00000ed4 (5276)"LastHelp"=dword:00000ed5 (5277) or any key for that matter.How can i fix this?
Can we change the name of the "Home" folder to something else? Â We have 15-20 instances of SSRS, and it would be real useful if I could display an instance name vs. "Home".
Running SQL Server 2005 x64 Enterprise on Windows Server 2003 X64 Enterprise and I am getting the error below when I add users to the permissions on the SRS HOME folder with browser rights.
Response is not well-formed XML. (System.Web.Services)
Unexpected end of file has occurred. The following elements are not closed: Message, MoreInformation, detail, soap:Fault, soap:Body, soap:Envelope. Line 11 position 30230. (System.Xml)
I need to add more users to reporting services and have never experienced this before.
I want to give the permission to a user to view only one folder among 10 folders on Home page of report server. I don't want that user to view other folder than his/Her Own folder on report server home page.
Hi, I have created a store procedure and want to save them. this is wha ti did.
I clicked on the Northwind--> Programm--> Stored Procedure-- > right clicked --> new stored procedure after writing my stored procedure I saved it. But when I am saving I want to save it under the Stored Procedure folder of the NorthWind database. I guess this is what it should do. When I use to use the sql 2000, i could always send my stored procedure here , i guess it was by default. But even if i save my sql stored procedure at any other location than at the run time, how the applicaiton will find my store procedure.
Well so thinking of that I have to save my stored procedure under the database for which table it is created however, i can not save it there. I tried to figure out the directly but I couldnt.
I have developed on winodws based application using C# in .NET. I am connecting from my database using internet, means my database kept on remote location. I have to save images in DB because I can't save and access images in external folder from remote location. In this situation my DB is growing very fast. Is there any other alternative to work on this requirement or compress image in any format so that I can reduce DB size.
I dont alot about sql server 2005(Express edition). For debugging purposes i want to copy the whole app_data folder(.mdf & .log files) on the production server to another folder on the same machine(or sometimes to a network folder). So when i copy and try to paste this App_data folder to a new location, i get this error message "cannot copy ASPNETDB: it is being used by another person or program. close any programs that might be using the file and try again." After reading the above message, i close visual web developer, stop the website in IIS and stop the SQLExpress service on the server and try again but still get the same message. So how can i make sure that all the programs accessing these database files are closed such that i'm able able to copy them to a different location.
Hello:I didn't find any documentation that notes save point names are casesensitive, but I guess they are...Stored Proc to reproduce:/* START CODE SNIPPET */If Exists (Select * From sysobjects Where Type = 'P' and Name ='TestSaveTran')Drop Procedure dbo.TestSaveTranGoCreate Procedure dbo.TestSaveTranAsBeginDeclare@tranCount int--Transaction HandlingSelect @tranCount = @@TRANCOUNTIf (@tranCount=0)Begin Tran localtranElseSave Tran localtranBegin Try--Simulate Error While ProcessingRAISERROR('Something bad happened', 16, 1)/*If this proc started transaction then commit it,otherwise return and let caller handle transaction*/IF (@tranCount=0)Commit Tran localtranEnd TryBegin Catch--Rollback to save pointRollback Tran LOCALTRAN --<< NOTE case change--Log Error--Reraise ErrorEnd CatchEndGo--Execute Stored ProcExec dbo.TestSaveTran/*Should receive the following message:Cannot roll back LOCALTRAN. No transaction or savepoint of that namewas found.*//* END CODE SNIPPET */What is really strange, if there is a transaction open, then no erroris thrown. So if you execute as so:/* START CODE SNIPPET */Begin Tran--Execute Stored ProcExec dbo.TestSaveTran/* END CODE SNIPPET */There is no "Cannot roll back LOCALTRAN...." message.Questions:1-)Can someone confirm save point names are case sensitve and this isnot happening because of a server setting?2-)Is this a logic error that I am not seeing in the example codeabove?We have changed our code to store the save point name in a variable,which will hopefully mitigate this "problem".Thx.
I would like to know what is the registry key where is written that SQL Server 2000 is installed and the registry key where is the path to the data folder (master database) on Windows Server 2003. thanks Irina
I am installing my application thru Installshield Professional 5. Howto know whether MS SQL Server is installed or not on the machine onwhich i am installing my application. What is the registry key thruwhich we can find this.
Where can I find a listing of all the registry entries made at install time - or, better yet - what entries I need to elminate on uninstall? I've installed and uninstalled MSDE a number of times on my development machine, and now I can't get MSDE 2000 Rel A to install at all. I think there is one or more key blocking the installer. I appreciate your input!
I am getting this error after Litespeed installed:
Error Msg: SQL Server could not read the registry value: HKLMSoftwareImcedaSQLLitespeedexepath. Check that the value exists, and that the SQL Server service account has full access to this keyºlue. (11200)
When I install SQL Express on my XP Machine, the registry keys under local machine (ie, MSSQL.1, etc) show up, but on my Vista 64bit machine, the MSSQL.1 etc keys are not there. SQL Server still works, but the reg keys are missing.
I'm trying to find the SQL Server License Number used to install the software on the server. Does the installation program stores the information on the Registry or not? Looking through registry I found the ProductCode but I'm not sure if that is the valid License Number ... It does looks more like the unistall code ...
While running Sql 2014 upgrade advisor against a 2005 remote sql server. Below is the error im getting:
"Could not populate SQL Instances: System.Security.SecurityException: Requested registry access is not allowed"
Its able to connect SQL 2005 DB server and its also populating all the required Databases, but when i'm tring to click Run at the last step above error is coming. I even installed SQL 2012 upgrade advisor in my system and getting the same above error.
However if i use SQL 2008 upgrade advisor and connect to SQL 2005 server im not getting any error.The tool is generating successfully all the Pre and Post upgrade issues.
I'm running the tool with Run as administrator option. Is there any specific change i need to do in my system so that the tool runs successfully.
I am posting this to hopefully help someone else that encounters the same issue in the future...
Server: SBS 2003 Premium, with exchange and with all service packs/patches applied. Server-name: NEWSERVER Server migrated from: OLDSERVER Important notes:
This server was migrated from another SBS 2003 on different HW following the instructions provided by microsoft. The oldserver had exchange and sql 2005 installed on it. The new server has Office Accounting 2005 installed, but I don't think that matters...
I am trying to install SQL 2005 from the SBS2003-R2 DVD onto the new server, and get the following error:
Error: ---

I looked in the registry, and the administrators group has full control over this key.
Digging into the SQLSETUP log file, at the end I see: ---

Looking into AD Users+Computers, there is not a group present for SQLServer2005SQLBrowserUser$NEWSERVER but there is one for SQLServer2005SQLBrowserUser$OLDSERVER.
It appears that the install did not create the new group that was necessary..
Once I duplicated the OLDSERVER group, renaming it to have NEWSERVER, the installation completed without error.
I hope this saves someone else a few hours of pain.
I've been trying to re-install VS2005 & MS SQL Server express, and I've hit a snag trying to install SQL Server express.
I started by trying to use the automatic uninstaller for VS and had problems so I tried manually uninstalling it (bad idea), which didn't work either, so I re-installed VS completely, then uninstalled it using the automatic uninstaller. I then tried installing, which worked for VS2005, but it didn't work for SQL Server. I've tried 3 times now, and each time it says SQL Server 2005 failed to install.
I checked the summary.txt log found in C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL Server90Setup BootstrapLOG and from what I understand, it seems that I don't have priveledges to change some registry keys. This has me really lost because I'm installing as Administrator, as you can see from the log below, so I should have access to the registry. Administrator is the only account on the computer so I know I haven't messed up priveledges from another account.
I've included the contents of the summary log below if anyone can make any sense of it and has any ideas I can try.

I know a WMI event watcher can be used to watch for a new file being added to a folder. However, I need to check for new folders being added to an existing folder. I haven't been able to find a post on doing this. Is there a way in WQL to check for a new folder being added instead of a new file? I've used SQL for years, but am new to SSIS.
I have a SharePoint (2007) Document Library site called B. Web Client is enabled on the server and B is mapped as a Drive (let's call it Y for this discussion)
I want to move documents in A to B. Easy enough, right? Not so....
I first started by creating a batch file that issues a COPY \A \Y /Y at the command prompt. Viola! Worked Great!
I then moved that command to a SQL Agent job as a CMDExec statement (exact same statement) and attempted to run it.....CRASH! It found the files in A but then said "The system cannot find the path specified"
Ok, so I tried it in SSIS. CRASH! Checked the error log. Same thing...
So I then checked the account under which the SQl Agent was running (special domain account for all our SQL Servers). Thinking it might mater I changed it to run under my name (I'm in Domain admin). I also ensured I had permissions to the SPS 2007 library as well. (I did).
Ran again! CRASH! Same error....
So, I created a batch file , placed thec ommand in the batch file and ran that from the command prompt! Viola! Worked Great.
So, I was thinking of how ingenious I was as I pasted my C:RootCopy.bat into my SQL Agent job. With a big grin on my face I right clicked and picked "Start Job at step".......CRASH! Same error.
Does anyone have any ideas on this ???????????????
I got this system error log in the event viewer every time I start the SQL Server cluster resource:
The Microsoft Clustering Service failed restore a registry key for resource SQL Server when it was brought online. This error code was 2. Some changes may be lost.
Even though the SQL seems to be working fine now, I won't know if something drastic will happen later. :confused:
Searching the Internet for resolution, I saw this article. The Microsoft Knowledge Base Article - 307469 (http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?kbid=307469) requires using the Windows Server 2003 ClusterRecover utility to reset the server cluster check points.
I've not tried it because I don't know if this is the correct solution or if it will work or not.
Can I even solve the error without using the above utility? I also cannot afford to reinstall the clustering or SQL server. :mad:
In the registry in Windows 10, I looked inside HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftMicrosoft SQL Server. Is LoginMode still in some subfolder of that, or has it been moved to another place? Perhaps a differently named key is now used. Or perhaps it's configured in a config file for SQL Sever 2012 express.
I'm trying to do an unattended upgrade of 2014 RTM to 2014 SP1.
It's my first attempt at an upgrade configuration file, and its failing with missing registry entry for database engine service and replication service.
Error in summary.txt is:
The registry key SOFTWAREMicrosoftMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL12.MSSQLSERVER2495Setup is missing
That's a valid error, as the registry only has an entry for:
I have a set of folders with the following structure:
MainFolder
1999
SpreadsheetA.xls
SpreadsheetB.xls
SpreadsheetC.xls
2000
SpreadsheetA.xls
SpreadsheetB.xls
SpreadsheetC.xls
etc.
Is there a way that I can use the foreach loop container to loop the sub folders? My plan was to get the folder name and path into a variable, use this to build the connection string for each file in this folder, carry out the upload for that folder, then move onto the next folder and do the same thing, but I cannot see a way to do this.
Here is the problem, i'm sure there is quite a bit on google but i'm not sure what to search for. I want to know how to connect to a sql server from my home machine using the localhost for testing asp.net files out. At work the machines will connect fine using localhost. The server we connect to is in another location. If someone could get me started on what to search for i would appreciate it.
I'm trying to run a copy of Enterprise Manager at home. I have a small wireless network and would like to install it on either one machine (stand-alone) or run it on my network.
The machine it is installed on is running Windows 2000 and the remote machine is running Windows XP Home <<< not sure if SQL Server will run on this.
I tried installing it previously as stand-alone on the Win2K machine, but kept getting a "Server not found or access denied" message whenever I tried to register or connect.
Any ideas on how best to set it up at home would be greatly appreciated.
