Hi-
Whenever I apply a hotfix to my SQL 2005 install, the folder permissions on :Microsoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQL are always reset. Any reason why this happens? I have explicit permission set on that directory to allow our DBAs access as they are not admins on the server.
Thanks.

I see that a recent related message was posted about built-in accounts.
Anyway, a vendor set up system using SQL 2014. The SQL Server Agent service was running under the 'Local System Account'.
Agent jobs were failing because they couldn't write to a shared folder on the same server. I decided to change the account to a regular privileged domain user. Here is the error message:
Executed as user MYDOMAINSQL2014Agent Cannot open backup device 'EackupMyBackup' Operating system error 5(Access is denied). [SQLSTATE 42000] [Error 3201] BACKUP DATABASE is terminating abnormally [SQLSTATE 42000] [Error 3013]. The step failed
I granted Full Control to that domain user and it still failed. I added 'Everyone' and gave it Full Control and it succeeded.
I understand that the account under which the Agent is running should have Write permissions on the share. However, I must have missed something. The only way I can get this to work is to grant Write or Full Control to Everyone. I absolutely do not want to do that.
We have a SQL 2012 SSRS instance. We need to modify the permissions on one of the reporting folders. I went to the Security setting of the folder, clicked "New role assignment", then entered a group name into the box and selected desired permission ("Browser" in this case).
However this always fails with the same error: "The user or group name 'BUILTINBUILTIN' is not recognized. (rsUnknownUserName)"
I always get the same error no matter if I enter user or group, domain or local. And it always says BUILTINBUILTIN. I've tried changing the SSRS service account to a domain account (it was a local one), but that didn't work.
Hi
I have a vm machine running SQL Express. So as to centralise my data, on the host machine I have a folder with all my data. This folder is shared. In the vm machine I have set up mapped to this folder, so it is visible within in. I can add/remove from the folder in explorer so the permissions look okay up to there.
However, when I go into SQL Express and attempt to restore from a backup into a DB, I cannot see the folder in the folder list presented. When I try and force the connection through the mapped drive letter or unc name, the server fails with a you do not have permissions.
From my reading it looks like I have got a network service account set up but, when I look at the logins in SQL Express there doesn't appear to be such an account.
Could someone either
a) point me in the right direction if the netowrk service account is not the way to go
b) tell me how to set up a netowrk service account with the correct privileges to enable me to read /write this mapped folder.
Thanks

Hi,
I reset user passwords on SQL Server 6.5 when users forget them. How can I do this without
using Enterprise Manager? Is there a stored procedure that I can call from iSQL?
Thanks,
girija
Hello -
I am aware of the new password policies in SQL Server 2005, but I have not seen this yet. Can anyone please tell if it is part of the new software?
When a password has been reset, you can force the user to change it upon initial login?
Your help is appreciated!
Thanks,
David
I am having a problem with Cascading Parameters in a RS2005 SP2 report.
In the report the user selects the part # (param 1) based on the part number selected the
serial # list (param 2) is populated. This all works fine.
The problem is that when the user clicks on the View report button the report is generated and the part # stays the same but the serial # parameter is "reset". On the development box it gets reset to the last serial # on the list. When we deploy out to our production environment it gets reset to the first serial # in the list.
Is there a way to stop the serial # (param 2) from being reset and to have it stay to what the user selected.
Thanks.
I discovered that everytime I need to add a database to my backup Maintenance Plan, after I select the new database from the drop-down of databases, the Destination automatically resets back to a default location.
I'm assuming this is a bug that will be resolved at some point, but in the meantime, I need to see if there is a way I can deal with this permanently. I am not the only one adding databases to the backup routine so I can't verify that this setting is properly changed every time we have a new database (which is about once a week).
Thanks in advance.
I have query that calculate a running balance, but I need to reset that balance when it reaches 240. Then start calculating the balance again from that value. For instance, let's see we have the following table:
YearAmmount
200049.95
200179.92
200279.92
2003114.99
2004120.00
[Code] ....
If I run the following query to get the running balance:
SELECT Year,
Ammount,
SUM(Ammount) OVER(ORDER BY Year ROWS UNBOUNDED PRECEDING) AS RunningTotal
FROM _YearlyTotals
I get:
YearAmmountRunningTotal
200049.9549.95
200179.92129.87
200279.92209.79
2003114.99324.78
2004120.00444.78
[Code] ....
I'm looking to reset the Running Total if it reaches 240, and continue calculating from there: Something like this:
YearAmmountRunningTotalAdjustment
200049.9549.9549.95
200179.92129.870.00
200279.92209.790.00
2003114.99240.00-84.78
2004120.00240.00-120.00
[Code] ....
Here is the code to create the table and insert data:
CREATE TABLE _YearlyTotals(
[Year] int NULL,
Amount numeric(18, 2) NULL
) ON [PRIMARY]
INSERT INTO _YearlyTotals([Year],Ammount) VALUES (2000,49.95)
INSERT INTO _YearlyTotals([Year],Ammount) VALUES (2001,79.92)
[Code] .....
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.
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.

Ok,
I have a network folder called A
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 ???????????????
Thanks,

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.
Thanks,

On Visual Studio 2013 with SSDT for SQL Server 2014
I noticed something very strange.
I am viewing the package configuration selected option for a package:
Now, i just click on the - sign and then on the plus sign on the "Properties" branch. And the option is cleared:
The ONLY way i found not to mess everything is just to have ALL the options FULL expanded and THEN to select what i want.
I am having problem with moving a file from one folder to another folder. Here is the detailed scenario:
I want to move a input.csv file from shared input folder to shared archive folder. i am using the below code to do this.
declare @inpath varchar(100)
SET @inpath = 'move "\abcdefINPUTinput*.csv" "\abcdefARCHIVEarchive.csv"'
EXEC @filestatus = master..xp_cmdshell @inpath
but the problem was it was cutting the input.csv file from INPUT folder but not pasting it in the ARCHIVE folder.
I really appreciate if anyone can help me to solve this or anyone can tell some workarounds.
Thanks,
Hello,
Just want to know if anybody else has problems with the hotfix ?
I have a sqlserver 2005 on my desktop.
I installed the sp2 before 5th march.
Recently Microsoft changed the sp2 and released a hotfix for sp2 installed(downloaded) before 5th march.
I installed the hotfix but it failed to update the sqlserver engine.
Very weird.
I uninstalled sqlserver 2005, applied the new sp2 (which was smaller compared with previous one)
Today i still received a critical update in windows update.
I installed it, but i still don't trust these updates.
How can i investigate all went well ?
Can anyone help me to get the hotfix SQL Server 2000 build 8.00.2215 ?
As i do not find any download link.
We would like to apply a hotfix to solve the issue that brought our server down. The hotfix we are trying to apply is in Build 3175. But the latest Cumulative Update 3 Package is Build 3186. Should we apply 3175? Or we can go for the latest build 3186? Which is recommended?
View 6 Replies View RelatedHi,
Is there anyone know where to get the hotfix to put the "Select All" option back on multi-value parameter list after SP1?
The reason why I didn't install SP2 because it requires to install print control on client side. At the moment our company try to avoid it.
Or is there a way to avoid this print control?
I hope to see some responses from MSFT support team.
Cheers,

I have SP1 on most of my servers. My users however do not. They have been developing using "select all" and are now ready to deploy a major project, I am in the process of installing the hotfix so my question is "they do not have SP1 and I have SP1 along with the hotfix" will that work or does this hot fix require that the client tools have SP1 and the hotfix applied as well"? They do not want to change their development environment since they are so close to deployment of their reports. Thank you!!

I am getting the following (MOM) error on 3 of my databases anytime I initiate a backup of the mdf. The database seems to backup as expected. The one thing that has recently changed is I implemented MS Hotfix 2187 on my SQl cluster over the weekend.

Post installation of Hotfix Update 8.00.0679 (for the slammer worm) we've encountered this error on our production server "2003-02-13 09:54:17.14 server Error: 17882, Severity: 18, State: 1
2003-02-13 09:54:17.14 server Error accepting connection request via Net-Library 'SSNETLIB'. Execution continuing..".
This appears to correlate with attempts to access our SQL7 server, which was also patched for the worm (Hotfix 7.00.1030) via any query analyzer linked server reference; in fact the linked server attempt fails on a 'general network failure'.
On the SQL2000 side, the SSNETLIB failure is followed by failures in "Stored function 'xp_enumerrorlogs' in the library 'xpstar.dll' generated an access violation" and then all backups fail on memory allocation failures and major database selects of 100K's records fail on "unable to allocate thread".
Anyone have any thoughts or experiences germane? I'm about to undo the security patch on both servers.
Thanks,
Al
Hi,
I'm planning to install the cumulative hotfix (build 2187) on my sql 2000 clustering server (SP4, 2040). And I would like to know if the cumulative hotfix is able to roll back. If possible, please provide me any information about that. Thanks in advance.

Hi. Was hoping to get some advice on applying a hotfix to a SQL Server 2005 failover Cluster.
The hotfix I am applying (KB933508) relates to a Maintenance Plans issue with Server 2005 Service Pack 2. During installation I'm advised that unless the SQL Server and other services are stopped a reboot will be required, although I can still install the hotfix. However the installation is failing. There are error details in the relevant logs created in C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL Server90Setup BootstrapLOGHotfix to the effect that the 'Debug' value in registry key 'SoftwarePoliciesMicrosoftWindowsInstaller' can't be read and that SQL Server was unable to add a user (the account under which SQL Server Agent and Analysis Services run) to a local group (the domain group in which SQL Server logins are contained).
Is this something simple like explicitly shutting down the services first before applying the hotfix or is there something else going on?

I've got a 4 node SQL 2008R2 cluster (configured 2 active - 2 passive), and 9 instances, of which all but one are on SP1 (the most recent addition is on SP2).
I need to apply a hotfix (Cumulative Update 6 for SP1) to just one instance. Can I do this by failing over the affected instance to one of the passive nodes, applying the hotfix, and failing it back again or do I need to apply the hotfix to all nodes as detailed in:
SQL Server failover cluster rolling patch and service pack process
i.e. will it involve a little downtime for all instances on the cluster?
is it possible to get all installed Hotfix with a Query?
like this?
SELECT SERVERPROPERTY('productversion'), SERVERPROPERTY ('productlevel'), SERVERPROPERTY ('edition')
Dear all,
I have recently applied the latest cumulative upgrade 3 for SP2 for SQL Server 2005 (KB939537) to have all the hotfixes needed since the SP2, and to correct a specific one : the 50001440 (SQL Server may fail to generate a plan for a complex query that involves cursors and error 8623 occurs - KB940128).
But it is not included in this latest cumulative upgrade package. I read the new policy about CU but I can not know if the 50001440 hotfix is candidate for the CU :
Cumulative update (CU)
€¢
The update can be requested by any customer, regardless of their support offering.
€¢
The update is released every 2 months.
€¢
The update contains the following:
€¢
All previous critical on-demand hotfixes to date.
Fixes for issues that meet hotfix acceptance criteria. These criteria include workaround availability, customer effect, reproducibility, the complexity of the code that must be changed, and so on.
Another bug, the 50001317 (You may receive error messages when you try to log in to an instance of SQL Server 2005 and SQL Server handles many concurrent connections - KB937745) : it is included in the upgrade 2 for SP2 but not in the upgrade3.
So, is it needed to apply each cumulative upgrade or only the latest CU ? And if it is only the latest CU, why are there missing hotfix ?
Thank you very much
Regards,
Emmanuel
