In sql 2000, during the installation an option was given to allow the installer to install to a different drive or path, however in sql 2005, I do not see an option. During the installation it does give you the option of installing via the command line interface, however this would be the last option. If this is the only method of installing sql 2005 for a different data drive path, then please provide the command line to do this. I've used the command line osql/isql to restore db's in sql 2000/msde and it's a pain.
Hi: I'm using SQL SERVER 2005 EXPRESS My server name is SERVER1SQLEXPRESS When I create a new data base on my server it saves at C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLData How Can I change this default path? Thanks!!
I am trying to install SQL Server 2005 Standard Edition in parallel with SQL Server 2000. The server is a Dell 2650 with 1 GB RAM running Windows 2000 Server.
The initial part of the setup runs the System Configuration Checker (SCC), which is generating this warning:
The server is a member of a domain, but I am logged in as the local administrator. The drive is not compressed. There are no file system problems. I am at a loss as to why this warning is occuring, and do not want to proceed until I figure this out.
(I got this warning on another server as well. That was a test server, so I proceeded. The engine seems to run ok, but SSIS will not load, says a component is missing. Not sure if the two issues are related or not).
Hi, In my system, for creating a databae the default path is in C: drive, but iwant to change into D: drive as a default path.Please tell me how to change??
HiWhen we installed SqlServer2000 we left the default collation name(Sql_Latin1_General_CPI_CI_AS).The user defined databases we created afterwards were defined with adifferent collation name in order to be able to accept the character setwe use, Hebrew.We are looking into switching DTSs that we use to copy data from ourmain system , that uses an Ingres database, into OSQL scripts. Althoughthe DTSs successfully copy the Hebrew letters when I copy data with OSQLit comes over as jibberish.After looking into the matter I came to the conclusion that while DTSrefers to specific databases and uses the destination database'scollation name , OSQL refers to the remote server and destination serverand therefore uses the collation name of the server and not of thedatabase. In order for it to successfully copy the Hebrew I need tochange the default collation name of the installation.Is "rebuild master" the way to do such a thing ? (this is a productionserver so we are wary of doing a "rebuild master")Has anyone else run into similar problems when transfering data betweenservers using OSQL ?ThanksDavid Greenberg
When a new database is created in enterprise manager the path for the database and transaction logs are defaulted to d:mssql7data or wherever you installed SQL Server to initially. Is there a way to change the defaults to place the data on one drive and the logs on a different drive?
I have sql 2005 installations errors in some of prod servers. Can i change the default paths without re-installing. Like in my servers backup files should go to E: drive and data files to F: and log files to H: Drive.
Hi, i would like to know if there's a way to know the path where my sql server is located, i need to know this because i've an application (VB .NET) that needs to know this path, any help?
I have a question on how to change a hyperlink path. I have an ADP that has our scanned files linked to it the path is on SQL server. The problems is that we are migrating sql server and the files to their own seperate server, \gcfs01databaseBackgroundsSCANNED ACROBAT DOCUMENTS (BACKGROUNDS)SCANNED ACTIVE FILES5630.pdf
The server is called \gcfsql Instead of gcfs01. does anyone know how we can change the unc path to gcfsql without

During initial setup of SQL Server 2005 Standard Addition, I was not able to configure an alternate path (non C: ) for the Data component. Can anyone advise on the procedure to set the Data path to non default during initial setup.
I'm getting a rule check fail "Long path names to files on SQL Server Installation media failed" when installing SQL 2012 Standard edition from a network share.
Hi, I have a generally well working silent installer of SQL Server sp1, that installs a named of SQL Express then runs some create database scripts on it.
I have a customer for whom this fails. It appears that the SQL server service does not start. When I tell the client (non-computer literate!) to start it manually through Admin Tools>Service, a message appears saying "Access to the path denied", and seemingly doesn't specify the path of the denial.
Has anyone encountered this, or is anyone able to hazard a guess as to the cause of this issue.
during period of troubles connecting to Local Servers and Sites location i.e., to [URL], the place where all Reports are saved by default, I have continued to work on some Reports that have been saved to file system of my localhost/developing machine. But, upon recovery of http location, I can not see/open those files?
how to approach those files in order to open them in Report Builder 3.0 and thus, to "save as" them to the http location? Seems that Report Builder has chosen that location, by default, somehow.....
I instance where customers want to migrate SQl dB to a new server. I want to change part of the path to lowercase.
The part to be change is always a computer name i.e. ComputernameDatareportA24440 testUser.doc I want to define the computername and the script changes only the computername to lowercase
Using Update Table set Path =LOWER(Path) -- etc. Go
Changes all the path to lowercase,
Note the Computername will always be different depending on the customer. The reason for changing the PCname to lowercase each client can type the PC name in various ways
I need someone that knows something about SQL queries.
I have a client that is running a Database known as ProLaw. It is in part a document management system for Law Offices.
They have an SQL 2005 database that tracks per client all the documents they create.
We had to replace there server with new server. The new server is running sbs2003 and had to have a different Netbios name then the old sbs2000 server. (Small Bus. Server has some weird quirks that make simply using the same netbios name impossible. Google search it if you don't believe me.)
The database holds in a single column the full network share path to each document.
Different documents may have different names and more subdirectories but the root path of "\lawwillsbs2000ProlawDocuments" is shared by all.
The new server is named \sbs2003 I need to change the first part of almost 3000 path statements to the new server. The rest of the path is unchanged.
I have had several people running prolaw tell me that I should run this query:
UPDATE Events
SET DocDir=REPLACE(DocDir, '\\lawwillsbs2000', '\\sbs2003')
WHERE EventKind='O'
This doesn't work. Nothing is changed. I'm guessing it is because this query assumes the value will be ONLY \lawwillsbs2000 I see nothing in here that tells the query that this is only part of the string. No wild card or other marker.
I need some kind of string function here do I not? Anyone know enough to help me craft a proper query?
Currently we have SQL instance on C: drive.We are now going to upgrade SQL Server 2008 RTM to SQL 2008 SP4.Can we change the path of SQL instance during upgrade?What services need to be stopped during upgrade.
There was a 2008 SSRS service running on server "abc".
I have a .Net UI that uses the wsdl at [URL] ....
They deployed SSRS 2012 service on a new server "xyz".
DNS points abc to xyz. Nslookup looks right shows both xyz and abc alias to the same IP.
when I try to go to [URL] .... it redirects to xyz as expected for the host name but the HTTP GET /ReportServer is appended with GET /Reports/ReportServer which doesn't exist and I get an 404 error.
I have no admin rights to see anything and I have no idea if it was an inplace upgrade or a new server. I assume it's new since the actual server name changed in nslookup. Why would it append the default virtual directory when it makes the hop to server "xyz"?
acutally my network dept. has change the backup file server IP address.. i m now hving problem for taking backup. i have around 85 backup that runs everyday.. what i m doing now running every single command to drop backup device and then adding again.. but it's taking agess to do..

I want to redirect the logshipping primary backup folder to another drive, how to change the configurations steps to move the primary logship folder to another location within the same server!
I have connected to the SQL Server 2005 instance usign the SQL Server Management Studio; I have changed the default locations for the database and log files. I have also rebooted the machine. When I look in the SQL Server Configuration Manager in the properties for the SQL Server (MSSQLSERVER) I see that the data path is still set to the old value and this field is read-only. How can this can changed without going through the registry?
I have built an application that uses SQLExpress. When I build the setup with a new setup Project I include in the prerequisites SQLExpress so that if the target PC has no SQL server installed the setup sequence will automatically install an instance.
The Serup Sequence installes SQL Server with default Instance name and settings. I need to make the setup package to install the SQL instance with a specific name and some other setting. These settings would be
Our security center just scanned my database server and has asked that I change the database server from the default instance name and change the default port used. When installed MS SQL Server 2000 I used the default installation settings. I have installed SP4 and this is all running on a fully patched WIN 2003 Server machine. Is this possible without un-installing and then re-installing?
I have question about install both default instance and name instance on to one server. Do I need follow a specific order such as default instance first then name instance?
If my server already has two or more name instances, can I install one more default instance?
Hi, I'm just looking into installing a second instance of SQL 2005 with SP2 on a W2K3 R2 machine that already contains a default instance, if i do so is the order of installation 1) Install named instance 2) Apply SP2 to the newly installed named instance
If i do this, will either of these require a system reboot ? The default instance should remain operational if no reboot required as the service pack is for a specific instance in this case ?
The columns fro which we do not enter any values.Fro eg in my table i did not insert any values to Balance col,in my table. In SQL 2005,management studio,when i said modify table and changed the default to 0 from NULL and also unchecked the checkbox saying Allow Nulls.
I did the above changes and said save.It gave an error saying
'AccountsBalance' table - Unable to modify table. Cannot insert the value NULL into column 'Balance', table 'AccountBalanceSheet.dbo.Tmp_AccountsBalance'; column does not allow nulls. INSERT fails. The statement has been terminated.
