Recovery :: Unable To Disable Log Shipping 2008 With SA Account (or Any Other Admin)
Mar 24, 2012
I recently enabled log shipping on our production database, and I had initially accepted the default of 72 hours to delete copied logs. Well, i am running out of space quick, and I need to edit it to something like 6 hours.
When I try to disable log shipping in order to recreate it, or if I try to edit the secondary server settings when I am logged in as SA, or my windows account which has the sysadmin role assigned, I get an error that says:
Only members of the sysadmin fixed server role can perform this operation. Error 21089.
I've restarted the sql service, disabled and enabled the permission on my account, but for the life of me, i cannot get this to work!

I'm working on a newly installed windows 2012 R2 server which has SQL Server 2012 and SSMS installed on it. What has been odd is that when I open the "restore database" dialog, in the "Select Backup Devices", "Locate Backup File" dialog, only the immediate folders off of the root of the E: drive are visible. E: is where sql server data and backup files are stored.
The account I am logged in with is supposed to have Enterprise Admin rights. How is can I not see these folders and files? The files are certainly there and are visible to me on that login with windows explorer. I am able to backup via SSMS without issue.
When I look at the folder's permissions everything seems normal. If I add "Everyone" to that folder's permissions the folders and files become visible. The SQL Server service is running on the NT ServiceMSSQLSERVER account, which is normal for my other installations of sql server.

Am trying to run SQL Server Agent with a service account which is not in the Administrators group. Have done the following -
1. Removed the service account from the Administrators group on the machine
2. Assigned sysadmin privileges to the service account
3. Added it to the SQLServer2005SQLAgentUser$ComputerName$MSSQLSERVER role
4. Through SQL Configuration Manager assigned this account to the SQL Server Agent service
However, this does not start the Agent as a service. What is it that is missing?

I have a database that I am trying to recover space from, it consists mostly of unallocated space, but I can’t seem to get that unused space released.
Database size: 40,245.13 MB
DatafileMB: 38,063.63, DataAvailableMB: 37,085.15
LogfileMB: 2181.51
Sysfiles shows:
fileidgroupidsizemaxsizegrowthstatusperfname
114872144-112820SomeDB
202792332684354561010486420SomeDB_log
The DB is in simple recovery mode. There are no open transactions (used dbcc opentran).
The server is running SQL Server 2014 and the DB is in compatibility mode SQL Server 2008 (100). It was upgraded to 2014 a month or two ago.
I have tried to re-size the log to 100mb, but any way I have tried (none gave errors), the log file remains the same size. I have tied to shrink the log file (through the UI and via DBCC commands) without success; no errors, but also no change in file size.
I have checked Log Reuse Waits, just in case, and as expected it showed “NOTHING” (select log_reuse_wait_desc, name from sys.databases)
I tried running a checkpoint, but that did not allow any resize or shrink to work.
I have tied creating large transactions to move the used point in the log file, in case this was the issue. I did this by creating tables that I drop after large inserts. While it shows me that the log space % used increased, the log file still does not allow the space to be reduced.
The following is what I was using for the transactions to get the log used.
BEGIN TRAN
select a.* into testtable from sysobjects a, sysobjects b, sysobjects c
ROLLBACK TRAN
Each insert creates 93,576,664 rows.
Running dbcc SQLPerf(logspace) :
DBLogSize(MB)LogSpaceUsed(%)Status
SomeDB2181.534.204890
Running dbcc loginfo:
RecoveryUnitIdFileIdFileSizeStartOffsetFSeqNoStatusParityCreateLSN
0211437342728192602640
02114373427211437424645701280
Do I just need to continue running large transactions until the log space used gets high enough to get the “end point” in the log to really move? Is there an easier way to accomplish this (I have several DBs that have the almost identical problem), what I am using moves the Log Space Percent Used about a percent on each execution.

I'm trying to connect to a database using a service account that we got created. The ID is an AD account and was added to the db as such. When I try to connect to the database using the account with the password I get [login failed for domainid]. The DBA mentioned that its setup to use windows auth, however, I can't connect with this service account using windows Auth, due to I'm using to connect via code.
How can I connect to the database from my code using this ID?
I have the ID and pwd in my code to connect with, does the ID have to be setup differently in the Database?

Hi
I could not able to find Forums in regards to 'Log Shipping' thats why posting this question in here. Appriciate if someone can provide me answers depends on their experience.
Can we switch database recovery model when log shipping is turned on ?
We want to switch from Full Recovery to Bulk Logged Recovery to make sure Bulk Insert operations during the after hours load process will have some performance gain.
Is there any possibility of loosing data ?
Thanks

I have a warm standby (secondary server) receiving log shipping files.

I'm allowed to do Log Shipping from x.contoso.com to y.contoso.com, however there is a requirement to have the same data made available to servers residing on z.contoso.com.
Connectivity between x.contoso.com and z.contoso.com is not permitted, so configuring log shipping with multiple targets is not possible.y.contoso.com and z.contoso.com can talk to each other, so what is the most efficient way to move data from y to z.

Lets say I have a single instance SQL Server on a 2 node cluster with node names Server X and Server Y. These are part of Domain A.
SQL Agent Account runs under service account - DomainASQLAct.
Now I have Server Z which is a standalone SQL Instance on Domain B and there is no trust between domain A and B, not even one way trust.
Even though I dont have trust, I need to configure log shipping for the SQL Instance which is clustered under Domain A to a standalone box in Domain B.
Microsoft recommends Local Account(SQL Agent) to be used for Cross Domain Log Shipping. Also when there is no trust, MSFT recommends to use the same login name and password, however as my setup includes a cluster and cluster cannot have local account I'm not sure what will be the best strategy to follow here.

I am trying to imitate a DR situation where the primary db is down and I need to recover the secondary db on another server. They are a log shipping pair and so to imitate a DR, I remove the log shipping in the primary server maintenance plan. Then I go to the secondary server and disable the log shipping jobs there and attempt to do the following
RESTORE DATABASE database_name WITH RECOVERY
but I can't get exclusive use because the database is in use. But I don't see any other users... am I wrong in thinking that the log shipping was completely deleted? Anything I can do to force exclusive access?

Any command through that can I delete/disable the DWORD value "Pendingfilerename operations" so that while I start the SQL Install work, it does not fail due to this and can write this as one of the precheck options.

I have two databases on a Production Server that I want to Log Ship to a Test Server. According to the sys.master files the physical File Location is on an E drive. Early attempts at Log Shipping these two files error'd out due to space issues on the E drive (one Log Shipped and then one err'd out). I was subsequently informed from the server group that they would prefer that I Log Ship these two database files over to the M Drive where more space is available. In fact, they modified the Server Properties / Database Settings / Database Default Locations (for Data and Log) to the larger M drive (I'm not really sure why they just don't increase the E drive space but there is proabably a good reason).
Okay, so now my problems have been solved. Easy enough. Now I deleted the successful Log Shipped database and started from scratch. However, as before, one db restored and one failed (due to space issues). Apparently, both db are pointing towards the E drive. How is that possible?
So here I am with one successful database and the normal sys databases pointing to the E drive. What is the best way of approaching this move to the larger and preferred M drive?

I have a bit of problem I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction. I have a SQL Server
2005 database which leverages both the Membership and Roles APIs. When I recreate
the database for production release, I simply run an sql file using the sqlcmd
utility - no problem. What I need is a way to add a default administrator role,
account and assign this new administrator to the administrator role.Can someone advise on how this is typically handled?

I've got log shipping set up, and everything seems to be working fine, but the log files are not being deleted from the primary server despite configuring log shipping to retain them for 3 days. I see no errors concerning the log shipping, but did not configure a monitor. What process is responsible for deleting the older log backups, and how can I look for errors. I could simply set up a jog to delete the older files, but that will only mask the issue.

Setup log shipping from an Australian SQL2008R2 server to a UK SQL2012 server. With the time involved to copy the large backup file across a WAN link, we end up with around 2 days of log backups since the full backup.
- The Full Backup is restored to the UK Server to create a new database in norecovery mode.
- The first log backup file is manually copied to the UK server and restored.
- Start the Log Ship copy SQL Agent job - starts copying files prior the full backup on the Australian server. Copies 1 Log backup file and then fails.
- Manually copy the next Log backup file to the UL server.
- Start the Log Ship Restore SQL Agent job and runs successfully and restores the Log file.
- Start the Log Ship copy SQL Agent job - AGAIN it starts trying to copy files prior to the Full Backup. IS this correct behaviour? I thought it should only copy Log files since the full backup.

SQL Server 2012: Out of all the databases in the instance we have a requirement in which we need to maintain a high availability for the databases around (128). Our team believed log shipping will apt for this requirement but not sure on it's limitations, how many databases are allowed or supports this log shipping from a single instance.

I have the following setup:
- An MSSQL 2014 Standard server that houses multiple small databases (in excess of a hundred).
- These databases are frequently dropped and restored by an application that uses this SQL Server.
- There is a business need for this setup at this time, so I can't get away from it. Therefore answers like "don't have so many small databases that are frequently dropped and restored" would be somewhat unuseful
This is the problem I have:
- When I connect SSMS 2014 to the server and expand the "Databases" node, it takes forever to display. In comparison, SSMS 2008 connected to SQL 2008R2 server with the same number of databases displays the Databases tree very quickly.
I ran a trace to see what exactly SSMS 2014 is doing. When the "Databases" node is expanded, it runs a query that checks each database for Memory-Optimized Tables (new and wonderful feature of SQL 2014 for sure, but I'm not using it, at least yet). Naturally, when you have to loop through over a hundred DBs, it takes time. Worse yet, if one of these DBs is in process of being restored, the query sits and waits to time out before proceeding to the next DB. Sometimes this causes outright timeouts. Here is the query:
use [MyDatabase]
SELECT
ISNULL((select top 1 1 from sys.filegroups FG where FG.[type] = 'FX'), 0) AS [HasMemoryOptimizedObjects]
To be sure, this is NOT a SQL Server performance issue. This server processes a rather heavy workload and has been doing so for over a month, and the workload completes within expected time limits or better. Even so I've done some basic performance measuring, and the server itself is quite all right.
Moreover, if I connect SSMS 2008 to it, I get an error message (Index out of bounds or somesuch), but SSMS 2008 does connect, and displays the Databases tree much faster than SSMS 2014.
I'd like to turn off the option to check for Memory Optimized Objects altogether, as I'm not using the feature.

If someone can tell if it is wise change the SA account password after all of your databases have been set up using NT Authentication for login. Also, by using the sa password at login are you providing more security and and who should have access to that password (Your developers or your Administrators?)

We tried to configure log shipping using script generated by GUI and when executed specific script which is meant for secondary server the database is not created and threw below error.
Msg 15010, Level 16, State 1, Procedure sp_add_log_shipping_secondary_database, Line 50
The database 'BUBALLO' does not exist. Supply a valid database name. To see available databases, use sys.databases.
Note: Only Copy, restore and alerts jobs have been created.
The account I'm trying to configure log shipping is the service account by which SQL and agent services are running and folder in where data and log files are intended and to be created is open to all (everybody has read/write permissioins) believe the issue is not with permissions.

we are about to start a logshipping with the secondary server in read only mode.
I just wanted to know the disadvantages of using a read only on the secondary server.
I mean whether the transactional logs will be restored periodically or it won't be restored till users are connected on the secondary server.

Re: SQL Server 2005
Does the xp_cmdshell proxy account need admin-level permissions on the server?
The reason I ask this is because I keep getting "Access is Denied" errors when trying to run this command as a non-admin:
master..xp_cmdshell dtexec 'some package'
The 'some package' has an "execute process task" which calls a batch file on the server.
If the proxy account is NOT a local admin, the "execute process tasks" fails with an "Access is Denied" error.
If the proxy account is a local admin, it executes fine.
We have given "Everyone" FULL CONTROL of all the folders that are affected by the batch file, and it still does not work.
I am out of ideas at this point. It just does not work unless it's an admin.
Are we missing something here?
