Unable To Start SQL Express 2005 Service As A Network User

Oct 4, 2007

I am trying to start ms sql server 2005 express as a network user from originally starting as local system. I cannot start the service.

I have given this network user administrator access to sql express from the sql server surface area configuration "Add New Administrator". I have went into the local users/groups and added this network user to the 3 security groups

SQLServer2005MSSQLServerADHelperUser$SQL1
SQLServer2005MSSQLUser$SQL1$SQLEXPRESS
SQLServer2005MSSQLBrowserUser$SQL1

I receive one alert int he event logs/application

EventID: 26010

The server could not load the certificate it needs to initiate an SSL connection. It returned the following error: 0x8009030d. Check certificates to make sure they are valid.

I receive five errors in the event logs/application

EventID: 26014

Unable to load user specified certificate. The server will not accept a connection. You should verify that the certificate is correctly installed. See "Configuring Certificate for Use by SSL" in Books Online.

EventID: 17182

TDSSNIClient initialization failed with error 0x80092004, status code 0x80

EventID: 17182
TDSSNIClient initialization failed with error 0x80092004, status code 0x1

EventID: 17826

Could not start the network library because of an internal error in the network library. To determine the cause, review the errors immediately prceding this one in the error log.

EventID: 17120

SQL Server could not spawn the FRunCM thread. Check the SQL Server error log and the Windows event logs for information about possible related problems.

I don't recall assigning any sql specific certificates. The reason I'm trying to run this as a network user is because an application on a remote windows server requires it.

After starting the service back running as local system as it was before, I went into the
SQL Server Management Studio Express and edited the properties for this new network user I wish to run the service as. I gave him full access including checking all grants in securables.

I now see a bit of a difference in the event logs with these errors.

EventID: 17058

initerrlog: Could not open the log file 'c:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL1MSSQLLOGERRORLOG.' Operating system error =5(Access is denied).

I saw a notification when changing the sql server service's logon that the new network user has been granted the log on locally right.

The second and last new error is

EventID: 17053

UpdateUptimeRegKey: Operating system error 5(Access is denied.) encountered.

IS Service Won't Start After Installing SP1

Aug 9, 2006

I have just installed SP1 and now the IS service will not start at all. I have tried using the LocalSystem account and an account with domain admin rights that I use to run all the other SQL Server services.

Before the SP was applied the service was running fine.

I have tried starting it from the command prompt, services and configuration manager but none of them work, I get the following error message:

"The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion"

This message is also in in the System Event Viewer, but there are no messages in the Application Event Viewer for the IS Service so I am now officially stumped (not to mention frustrated)

Please help!

Database Service Wont Start After Installing SP2

Sep 2, 2007

I am hoping someone can help me. I am having issues changing the service account MSSQLSERVER. I changed it to Local System only due to issues installing Service Packs up SP2 Critical. I used the Configuration tool to do so. I have installed all patches up to and including Critical update ( KB 934458 ). I had a heck of a time getting them to install under custom service accounts. Now when I change the service accounts back to a custom account using the configuration tool the service wont start at all.

To be clear. The service runs fine under Local System Account, but I want to run it under a limited account. I used the config tool and made sure the permissions groups were added, but it still fails to start. I am not sure what SSL log entries below is referring to.

I am running:

SQL Server Standard Edition x86
Windows 2003 Stnd SP2

Below is the log file:
2007-09-01 23:50:16.15 spid9s Starting up database 'model'.

Should The SQL Server Express Service Start Automatically Or Manually?

May 13, 2008

Hello all,

We are deploying an application using SQL Server Express to a wide variety of desktop and laptop machines. We are currently trying to decide whether we should install the SQL Server instance service to start automatically at startup or not. In the latter case, our application would start and stop the service.

Starting automatically will make our app load more quickly, which is important to our users. However, our support team is concerned that leaving the service running will leave our databases vulnerable to becoming "suspect" if, for example, a laptop user's battery dies suddenly. Of course this will always be a problem if the app is running, but our support team believes that having the service running all the time will increase the chances of this happening. One reason for their concern is that an older version of the software used MSDE which was running all the time, and they saw a good number of suspect database issues.

What is the best practice for leaving the service running, especially when there are a lot of laptop users?

Thanks,
Ben

Service Stop/start/restart Questions 2005 SP2

Oct 15, 2007

A few service stop/start/restart questions on SQL Server 2005 SP2, whichI'll call SQLS.It looks as if there are *potentially* 6 ways to start/stop SQLSServices like the engine itself, integration services, reportingservice, Agent..-SQLS Configuration Manager-SQLS Surface Area Configuration (for Services and Connections)-Mgmt Studio Local (on server)-Mgmt Studio Remote (on client)-Windows Control Panel->Admin Tools->Services-Command Prompt (ala net start MSSQLSERVER)By policy, I am /not/ Administrator on the server. But I am SysAdminrole in SQLS. I have had various levels of success starting/stoppingservices in the ways listed above. In some I get Access denied, and inothers I get no msg and it simply doesn't work.Is there some special non-Admin OS group I need to be in to start/stopservices? Is this handled differently in the different interfaceslisted above?It seems like my best success for starting/stopping the engine and Agentis in /local/ Mgmt Studio, but /not/ remote Mgmt Studio - the optionsare greyed out on a remote client. Is this by design? Is it a SQLSbug?I'm sure I'm not the only SQLS DBA who does not have Admin rights on hisserver who wants to start/stop services. Generally speaking, how isthis intended to work?Any help appreciated.Allen JantzenA freshly minted DQLS DBA

SQL 2005 Failover Cluster Installs But Sql Server Service Will Not Start

Nov 26, 2007

Hello all,

I am intsalling SQL 2005 in an activepassive cluster. The OS is Windows 2003 with SP1. Everything installs OK but the sql server service cannot start afterwards. There are many access errors in the Security Event log - see example below - and numerous "SSPI handshake failed with error code 0x8009030c while establishing a connection with integrated security; the connection has been closed. " errors in both the SQL and Application event logs. I have tried installing SQL in both mixed mode and under Windows Authentication and get the same errors. I can install SQL 2005 outside of the cluster on both nodes. Other items of note: This was a SQL 2000 cluster. I uninstalled SQL 2K, the virtual name was changed (IP remained the same) and the DNS entry was updated to reflect the new name. Early in the installation process - 3 or 4 days ago - I got a few errors about the Server Principal Name had to be updated but when I do a setspn -l the both nodes are listed and the entries look fine, though there are no entries for the sql service (MSSQLSvc). Not sure if there should be entries for the virtual name, but there aren't any for either the old or new name. Does the new virtual name need to be added to AD? Here is the security error - Event ID is 560 and it looks like there's a problem with Remote Access and is generated when trying to access either node:
Category: Object Access
Type: Failure Audit
Event_ID: 560
User: NT AuthorityNetwork Service
Object Open:
Object Server: SC Manager
Object Type: SERVICE OBJECT
Object Name: RemoteAccess
Handle ID: -

Process ID: 1516
Image File Name: C:WINDOWSsystem32services.exe
Primary User Name: CM-OHCO-DS006B$
Primary Domain: SWNA
Primary Logon ID: (0x0,0x3E7)
Client User Name: NETWORK SERVICE
Client Domain: NT AUTHORITY
Client Logon ID: (0x0,0x3E4)
Accesses: Query status of service

Privileges: -
Restricted Sid Count: 0
Access Mask: 0x4

One other informational message that may be of use - looks like there's a problem with dll's for remote access, though this isn't pertaining to SQL:
The description for Event ID ( 0 ) in Source ( srmservice ) cannot be found. The local computer may not have the necessary registry information or message DLL files to display messages from a remote computer. You may be able to use the /AUXSOURCE= flag to retrieve this description; see Help and Support for details. The following information is part of the event: srmservice error: 0, Started the agent (srmagent.exe)..

MSSQL 2005 Installing Reporting Service Issues

Hi All,
I think I need someone to look over my issues with installing the Reporting service. So, if anyyou could take a look at this would be much appreciated.
In the Configured Report Server window for the Database setup, I get green lights in the Task Status but, a yellow triangle status telling me that ��although saving the database connection succeeded, the report server can not access internal information�? and �� If you are configuring a scale-out deployment, this feature is not supported by this edition. To continue use another report server database or remove the encryption keys from the current database before initializing the report server�?. Any ideas on how to solve this? Thanks

How To Start SQL In VB Express Edition 2005?

Oct 18, 2007

Hi! I am absolutely new in SQL! Pls help me answering some questions!
I have Microsoft VB Express Edition 2005.
So I created my Database1 and my own table Table1 ( by Add Item).
1)Now in "Show SQL Pane" I write my query.
When I write it with error - it is deleting (after Execute or Verify). So I must write it again! How can I save my query (error query!) for not writing it again?

2) After several tries I succeed to write query without mistake.
So I have a result ( Table2). Then I write another query and have Table3. How can I see my Table2 and IT'S QUERY???
Is there is a log option that can write all my queries and under every query - the result table in my session?

Thank u !
PS. Does Microsoft VB Express Edition 2005 contain SQL Server Management Studio?

Installing SQL Server 2005 Express

Dec 8, 2006

I am working on Win2K Pro & had SQL Server 2005 Express & SQL Server Management Studio installed. The SQL Server name was MerverSQLEXPRESS. Due to some unavoidable reasons, I had to repair (& not re-install) Win2K but after doing so, I found that I am not able to connect to the database server. I uninstalled all the components related to SQL Server 2005 Express (like Management Studio, Support Files, BOL etc.) from my m/c & then restarted my m/c.

After doing so, I first re-installed SQL Server 2005 Express & other related components (I intended to install SQL Server 2005 Management Studio after installing SQL Server 2005 Express). While installing SQL Server 2005 Express, all the steps get executed successfully except for the last one which happens to be SQL Server Database Services. At this point, I get the following error:

An instance with the same name is already installed on this computer. To proceed with SQL Server Setup, provide a unique instance name.

The problem is after I click the OK button, I am not even given the option to change the instance name! The Status message corresponding to SQL Server Database Services just says Setup failed. Refer to the Setup log for details. Finally, when I click the Next button, the next dialog finishes the Setup (showing the Finish button).

Now how do I overcome this problem? Please note that the Authentication mode I am using is Windows Authentication.

Someone please suggest me a concrete solution. It's driving me nuts! My receding hairline is getting further receded!

Lastly, please note that, as far as possible, I would like to keep the instance name as MerverSQLEXPRESS only.

Installing SQL Server 2005 Express

Jan 30, 2007

Hello,

I have a problem installing SQL express from a CD, it installs fine but the installation wizard does not load automatically, so I have tried to setup manually through Add and Remove programs.

But when I get pass System configuration check menu, i do not get the Registration info menu, it goes straight to SQL server express setup and then to another server express setup menu (it skips 3 menu pages) it should have MSML5 components such as SQL setup files, SQL native client, SQL VSS writer etc but it is completely empty. Then I get the finish screen.

However, when I uninstall SQL express, I see the MSML screen with all the components listed before it uninstalls.

I hope this makes sense and I hope someone can help.

Thanks.

Hi, I've recently installed the SQL SRV Express SP1 (ADV + Toolkit) (IIS already installed)

select @@version returns:
Microsoft SQL Server 2005 - 9.00.2040.00 (Intel X86) Mar 13 2006 11:20:51
Copyright (c) 1988-2005 Microsoft Corporation
Express Edition with Advanced Services on Windows NT 5.1 (Build 2600: Service Pack 2) - this seems to be ok.

The "Reporting Services Configuration" fires up, but when trying to
start the reporting service (pane Server Status) the following error occurs:
System.ServiceProcess.TimeoutException: Time out has expired and the operation has not been completed.
at System.ServiceProcess.ServiceController.WaitForStatus(ServiceControllerStatus desiredStatus, TimeSpan timeout)
at ReportServicesConfigUI.Panels.ServerInformationPanel.StartStopServiceTask(Boolean start)

Trying to start the RS service via the Service pane doesn't work either..

Any hints to solve this problem? Thanks!

Installing SQL 2005 Express On VISTA

Oct 26, 2007

Hi,

I'm preparing to install VS2005 along with SQL Server 2005 express on VISTA. Honestly, I just hope nothing will get screwed up...

- After installing VS2005, I will first install SQL Server 2005 express from my VS2005 DVD
- I will then install SQL Server 2005 express with Advanced services SP2 as well
as SQL Server 2005 express toolkit SP2 upgrades.

A few technical questions:

1. Considering the fact that I have Office2007 as well as Outlook 2007 installed on my VISTA machine, is there any install issues regarding SQL Server 2005 and Office2007? I remember having read posts reporting install problems... Any feedback would be appreciated.

2. After I install SQL Server 2005 Express from VS2005 DVD, do I need to install SQL Server 2005 Express SP1 before installing SP2?

Thanks all for your help,

Stéphane

Need Infos Before Installing SQL Express 2005 SP2

Feb 22, 2007

Hi,

I noticed that SP2 was finally released. A few question before I dive in that install:

- Must I uninstall anything before installing SP2?

- Considering that fact that I keep a copy of each install programs on a disk in case of crash recovery, must I keep SP1 files as well as SP2 files or can I consider that SP2 is complete by itself, that it completely overwrite SP1 and so delete SP1 files and just keep SP2 files for backup?

- If I also have Compact Edition installed, is there any SP2 issued for it?

- Is there a place where I can sign in so I can receive some sort of email notice where an upgrade is available for download for SQL Server 2005 as well as for Visual Studio 2005?

Thanks in advance,

Stéphane

Need Help Installing Visual C# Express 2005

Feb 12, 2008

Hi guys,
I'm currently taking a course in Visual C#.

The school provided a link to MSDNAA for a free educational copy of Visual Studio 2008, however our school uses Visual Studio 2005. I wanted to use the same thing so I downloaded Visual C# express 2005.

I can't get the darned thing to install properly. I get an error at the end saying

The following failed to install
Micosoft SQL Server 2005 Express edition x86

I don't know what to do. I won't be able to get to work on assignments if I don't get this working soon.
