I am trying to apply this patch to a Developers Edition of SQL 2000. According to the instructions, I am to replace ssnetlib.pdb, located int the binndll folder. well, this file does not exist in this or any other folder on the server. I have installed SP2 and all previous patches. Anyone have any idea why this is and how to resolve it?
Thanks,
Mitchel
I plan to apply the new security patch on my SQL 7.0 sp3 servers and get my SQL 2000 servers up to SP2 (which apparently already includes this)
But I was reading the Mitigating Factors in the announcement of this vulnerability and one reads as below:
"The effect of exploiting the first vulnerability would depend on how the SQL Server service was configured. SQL Server can be configured to run in a security context of the administrator’s choosing. (By default, it runs as a domain user). If best practices are followed, and the service is configured to run with the least privileges necessary, it would limit the worst-case damage an attacker could achieve. "
So my question is: What is the best practice for the SQL Server service and Agent service? Also are there resources for Best Practices?
Thanks!!
Hello, everyone:
Are ther any basic information about patch on SQL Server? How to develop patch, and run it? Thanks a lot

Hi,
I have discovered something wrong with my SSIS package and I thought it best to post a new thread since the problem is not what I thought it was initially.
With relation to my post of 'directory variable problem' I have now discovered by opening my project this morning that apparently my project had gone corrupt, according to the dev environment since the message reads:
"There were errors while the package was being loaded.The package might be corrupted.See the Error List for details."
The Error List:
"Error 13 Error loading MyTestSSISPackage.dtsx: The connection "(local).MyTestDB.sa" is not found. This error is thrown by Connections collection when the specific connection element is not found."
This is a buggy ADO.net connection that I deleted yesterday since, even though it connects successfully, doesn't want to work! It keeps on telling me log in failed for user <MyTestUser> even after I test it and it connects fine with the username and password during the UDL screen of the connection.. It's like it forgets the bloody password.
I created another connection, this time an OLE connection and it seems to work fine.
*EDITED*
I stand corrected..no bloody connection manager is working now. They all fail stating that they cannot connect to the db due to some or another 'unsupported' value in the connection string...the connectionstring was set up by the environment's udl????? how is this possible. I am beginning to get annoyed with SSIS
Now finally my question...WHY is it that every time I change something its like the dev environment doesn't cascade the change throughout the project or package? The problem I have been having with my variables not getting picked up with the correct values which I gave them during design time is probably also related to this. How or where can I remove the reference to this old ADO.Net connection since I cannot find it anywhere in the <package>.dtsx file?
Anyone ever experienced this?
Regards
Mike
following is my sql:
select a.dcode, b.district from table1 a, table2 b
where
a.id = b.id
and return following result:
dcode district
123 south
321 north
456 east
789 west
123
789
so for those records that district are null, how can i fill them up as i know they have the same dcode as the other records?
According to SP1 documentation patching the Active node in a cluster will automatically apply the SP1 patch to the Passive nodes. However, I found a MS document that says if you have management tools installed on the passive node, you must patch this node separately. Is this correct?
Also, since Integration Services is not cluster-aware and therefore must be installed separately to the passive node(s), does SP1 need to be applied directly to the passive node(s) to patch Integration Services or is it automatically patched when I patch the Active node?
Thanks, Dave
I got 4 sql2k5 servers with service patch version as following:

Can anyone please advise me what is the easiest way to upgrade them to the
most updated patch version? i.e. update path.
Meanwhile, what is the best practice to apply patches? Do you go to
microsoft website and check it out daily and apply it or other tricks?
Please advise. Thanks.
Hi,
I have problem in install SQL Server 6.5 service patch 5a. I download the .exe
from Microsoft and try to install it, it give error:
"setup initalizarion could not be successfully completed.
isql.exe can not be executed.
see error from relevant.OUT file. "
I thought the setup file need to run name pipes prototal instead of TCP/IP, so I change, but still give me the error. I install SS service patch 5a in other mechines before. Never has any problem. This time two of my server run into this problem, any help will be appreciated.

Please advice me, now we are using service pack1, what is the latest service pack i can upgrade and has all the issues been recitified.
Thanks
Sort of new to MSSQL and I have a problem with my maintenance script not deleting files on 2 out of 3 servers so I am trying to determine what patch level I am at.
'Server A' works as expected:
Microsoft SQL Server 2005 - 9.00.2050.00 (Intel X86)
Feb 13 2007 23:02:48
Copyright (c) 1988-2005 Microsoft Corporation
Standard Edition on Windows NT 5.2 (Build 3790: Service Pack 2)
These two servers don't:
Server B.
Microsoft SQL Server 2005 - 9.00.2050.00 (Intel X86)
Feb 13 2007 23:02:48
Copyright (c) 1988-2005 Microsoft Corporation
Standard Edition on Windows NT 5.2 (Build 3790: Service Pack 1)
Server C.
Microsoft SQL Server 2005 - 9.00.1399.06 (Intel X86)
Oct 14 2005 00:33:37
Copyright (c) 1988-2005 Microsoft Corporation
Standard Edition on Windows NT 5.2 (Build 3790: Service Pack 2)
So I can see where I should patch server B to SP2 but why does Server C report as 9.00.1399 SP2?
Hi,I need to move a database from an instance running SQL Server 2000 SP3to another running SQL Server 2000 SP2. Can I just use backup/restoreor detach/reattach and let SQL server take care of any downgrading (ifany).Many thanksGiovanni

I posted this question before, and got a response about Windows Update. However, I work in a larger corp. and need to know if there are any other answers to this? We use a patch client that rolls out patches and service packs after we have tested them in our environment. What can we do to stay as up to date as possible for security patches?
How are security patches for SQL Server Express made available (e.g., as separate distributions or bundled into other Microsoft patch distribution mechanisms)? Are there specific procedures that I need to put in place to ensure that it gets patched on end user machines?

I was wondering if there is a simple patch for 2000 server. It seems that the only fix is to edit the registry and to use the time zone editor app. If there is a simple patch like there is for the 2003 servers i would appreciate it if anyone can show me where. I have about 80+ servers with 2000!!!
Much appreciated!
Hey!
Has anybody here had any issues with the MS03-031 security patch and SQL 2000 on Windows 2003?
We recently installed this patch on one of our test SQL 2000 machines, and the performance of queries running on this machine have gone up (gotten worse) by at least 10X.
We use indexed views and all queries are run with WITH(NOEXPAND) to force the indexed view to be used.
Anyway, after the patch was installed, the queries on the indexed view will ONLY use the clustered index, and not any of the other indexes, causing a Clustered Index Scan.
I removed the patch (well, re-installed SQL) patched it up to SP3a, and performance is back to normal.
Anybody experience anything similar?

After applying security patch MS03-031 (Sql server ver 8.00.818) aquery that used to execute in under 2 seconds, now takes over 8Minutes to complete. Any ideas on what the heck might be going on?I have tested this extensively and can say for certain that installingthis hot fix is what has caused the performance problem. I just don'tknow why or how to fix it.Brian Oster
View 3 Replies View RelatedThis is related to an earlier post, but I found out that I was able to see SQL Server counters in Performance monitor before applying the patch, but the counters were not present afterwards....
do I need to edit the registry ?
