After SQL 2005 SP2, Query To Apartment Linked Servers Fails

Mar 6, 2007

We have a linked server that is an Apartment model OLE DB Provider. It works fine on SQL 2005 SP1. After applying SP2, we get the following msg when running a query against the linked server. I cannot find anything in the SP2 doc that indicates a change of behavior for linked servers. Any ideas ?

Windows Authentication Fails If IIS And SQL Server Are On Different Servers

May 9, 2007



Hi

I am using SQLXML 3 on a Windows 2003 server Running IIS 6.0. I used SQLXML configure IIS Support to create a virtual directry on this server to connect to MS SQL Server 2000 instance running on another windows 2003 server.

Configurations for the virtual directory are

1. Used Windows integrated authentication.

2. Created template for executing the stored procedure.



When i try to access the DB Server through a browser i am prompted to provide for Windows authentication. Even if i provide the domain user that has administrtive rights on both the server i am getting a response.

ERROR: 400.100 Bad Request

HResult: 0x80046000
Source: Microsoft SQL isapi extension
Description: Invalid connection settings: access denied



If from MMC i change the properties of the virtual directry to enable anonymous acess using the cridentials that i mentioned earlier, everything is working fine. I have been searching the net for 2 days and tried everything that i could find but still i keep getting the same error.

Any help will be highly appretiated.

Linking SQL 2005 Servers To SQL 2000 Servers Problems

Sep 27, 2007

I am in the middle of a major migraton project, moving from x86 SQL 2000 to IA64 SQL 2005. I have a business need to link to several legacy servers. I have a number of problems I am trying to solve.

1) Linking a Kerberos server to a non-Kerberos server.
2) Linking x64 or IA64 servers to x86 servers.
3) Linking SQL 2005 to SQL 2000.

Two of the errors I am encountering are:
------------------------------
TCP Provider: An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host.
Login failed for user '(null)'. Reason: Not associated with a trusted SQL Server connection.
OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI" for linked server "SCDC250DB" returned message "Communication link failure".
(Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 10054)
------------------------------
And
------------------------------
The OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI" for the linked server "SCDC250DB" reported an error. Authentication failed.
Cannot initialize the data source object of OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI" for linked server "SCDC250DB".
OLE DB provider "SQLCLI" for linked server "SCDC250DB" returned message "Invalid authorization specification".
(Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 7399)

If someone has worked through these problems before, I would appreciate it if you could direct me to the relevant documentation to resolve these issues.

Thanks!

Automating A Backup And Restore Across Servers

Jan 10, 2005

Hi,

I have been experiencing a problem with a job I am trying to automate. My team requires two instances of a db on development. Every week, db1 is detached and reattached as db1_copy, and a new copy of db1 from production is copied over. I have used cursors for the dropusers, addlogins, grantdbaccess, addroles, and addrolemembers aspects of the restore process. Also, we use sql authentication and not windows authentication. The issue is that when the agent encounters a minor issue, ie. a login that already exists in that db, or adding a rolemember to a role that is already there, I get an error. I have ensure that at that step, the job simply proceeds because it is a minor step in the process (it happens during the script execution when done manually but I can override this because I am present and just let it run in one step instead of many). Is there any way to do this without adding a multitude of steps?

Thanks,

Maria

Restore Fails

Apr 22, 1999

I'm new to SQL server, so bear with me please.

I'm running NT4 SP3 SQL 6.5 SP5. I have one major database (son_db) which is being backed up (along with others) using this command:

DUMP DATABASE son_db TO DBTape WITH NOUNLOAD , STATS = 10, NOINIT , NOSKIP

The task is completing successfully each night. However, we want to test the restore of this database, so we created a test table (test_table) which resides in the son_db database, added some data, and then let the backup run.

Next day we alter some data and try to restore the single table, but consistantly get the following message after clicking on the restore button:

[SQL Server] invalid source table "test_table" specified in LOAD TABLE. Could not find table in SYSOBJECTS in dump.

After this error, the table (test_table) is now completely empty.

MS website is no help, so I would really appreciate a bit of guidance on this,

Many thanks,

Joe

HELP! -- RESTORE DB FAILS

Jul 13, 2000

Hello, I have a SERIOUS problem where I am restoring my SQL server (6.5) dump to my standby server everyday.......however, it often fails with the following msg:
'Unexpected end-of-dump while loading database, attempting to continue. Please verify database integrity. (Message 3103)'
It does also succeed, but too often fails and my standby server depends on it. The DB that gets restored is placed in single-user mode, so no other process or connection is allowed.
The backup to PROD runs at 12AM, for about 3 hours and succeeds always; the restore runs at 4:00...i've tried later times as well.
Can anyone tell me how to get near 100% success rate? What is the problem and how can I fix it? Thank you for the help.

Backup And Restore From Current Setup To New Servers

Jun 23, 2015

We are told that we cannot get remote access on our DB servers , can access them only via SQL management studio. But we are the one's who will be restoring all our DB's from current setup to new servers.

My Question:

1. Can we restore the DB's directly via SQL Management studio(from other server where management studio is installed) without logging into the DB server.

2. How do we set the mdf/ldf file paths, assuming we have elevated access on the DB. Is this possible?.

Any other blockers we can face?

Restore Of Master DB Fails

Jul 12, 2000

To restore the Master DB, BOL says to start SQL Server in single user mode.
I do this using: sqlserver.exe -m

The server appears to startup (Recovery complete message, etc.).

Then I take care to minimize the command window. The command
window now appears on my task bar.

I start EM and navigate my way to the Restore Database menu pick.

I fill out the appropriate boxes, etc. I get a window telling me that
the restore has been started.

Very shortly I get a popup window telling me the connection has been
lost. When I examine my taskbar, I no longer see the Icon for the
command line/window. Thus it appears to me that the server
running in single user mode has gone away and this explains
the reason for the window saying that the connection has been
lost.

I then start SQL Server, per normal.

I run DBCC CHECKDB. This tells me there are 0 allocation errors
and 0 consistency errors. Several thousand rows of data present.
Thus the master DB appears to be OK.

However I am unable to restore it.

Any ideas or suggestions would be appreciated.

Restore SMK And System Databases (credentials And Linked Servers)

Apr 28, 2008

Hi there



I have a concern about restore whole SQL server environment.



1st server:



x86 SQL Server 2005 EE SP2 + hotfix 3159 is installed on Windows 2003 SP1 R2. SQL Server is running under Local System Account. Server is not part of AD.



2nd server



Win XP SP2, x86 SQL Server 2005 DE SP2 + hotfix 3159. SQL Server is running under Local Admin Account. Server is part of AD. Server has Credentials and linked servers





I'm trying to move all databases from server 2 to server 1



For this I am doing:

1) Create backup SMK

2) Detach all user databases

3) Backup all system databases

4) Copy all this stuff to server 1

5) Run Server 1 in single-mode (-m)

6) Restore master database

7) Try to restore backup SMK that was done on step 1 and get this error message:



Msg 15329, Level 16, State 11, Line 2
The current master key cannot be decrypted. If this is a database master key, you should attempt to open it in the session before performing this operation. The FORCE option can be used to ignore this error and continue the operation but the data encrypted by the old master key will be lost.


My understanding is that credential secrets, linked server login passwords are lost and should be recreated. DbMK can be restored using passwords.



As far as I know this can be avoided if the same domain account is using for both servers. But the question still this - if I have stand alone server, using local system account for the SQL Server service and have encrypted objects - I cannot restore SQL Server on another box (say in case disaster lost original one) without loosing credentials and linked servers even if I have all backups including backup of SMK.



Sounds gloomily for me. Any idea what I missed?

I am set up log shipping  as backup and copy every one hour and restore every ( disconnect users and stand by) one hour on servers in same domain. Set-up completes successfully.Copy job works as expected. but the restore job fails intermittently to restore the .trn file saying ' could not apply  log, data invalid' .

when i  delete and copy the files for which restore failed  manually using CTRL+C and CTRL+V across network and re run the restore job it does restore successfully . Through out the day i get about 5-6 problematic .trn files on secondary server which are copied from primary server and when restore fails i have to manually delete the log file which had problem restoring and then copy that file again using CTRL+C and CTRL+V  then run the restore and it gets restored successfully.when running restore filelistonly on the logfile in issue on secondary server  it gives below error

Cmd:

RESTORE verifyonly
FROM disk='G:xxxx_Copyxxx_20150604010501.trn'

Error:

and when i run restore filelistonly using netwok path then is seem s good and i can restore the logs as well

CMD:

Restore Fails With Internal Consistency Error

May 30, 2002

I am trying to restore a production database backup to a new location on a development workstation, and it fails with "An internal consistency error occurred, Contact Support". When I tried this on a more powerful workstation it ran without a hitch. The db is about 1.5GB, and I think the dev workstation may be running out of resources during the restore. I stopped non-essential services and ran from TSQL, and it still fails. Any suggestions other than getting a better workstation?

Thanks,

Post SP2-Hotfixes Fails To Install Database Services On Clustered Servers With System Dbs On Non-default Location

Jan 9, 2008

Hi,

We've had this issue for awhile, but I have not been able to find a resolution for this. We have 2 identical servers (hardware & software) set-up: IBM x3850-(88633RU) running Windows Server 2003 Enterprise x64 (5.2.3790 SP1 Build 3790 R2). Server A was running SP1 (Build 9.0.2047) on a 3-node active-passive-passive failover cluster. Server B was running SP2 + Hotfix KB933097 (Build 9.0.3152) on a 2-node active-passive failover cluster. Both these servers are heavily utilized, and when originally installed with these versions of SQL Server Enterprise 2005 experienced no issues during or post-install. The original install of SQL 2005 Enterprise on both these servers had the Cluster Group Selection "Data files" setting changed to "M:MICROSOFT SQL SERVER" so that all system dbs and binaries would be installed to that location. On Server B where SP2 had already been applied, the update was downloaded on May 1, 2007, well after the GDR issues which had been plaguing SP2 releases was supposed to have been resolved.

Our problems began the night when we tried to apply hotfix KB933097 on Server A, and cumulative update packages 1,2,3 on Servers A & B, as well as catch-up the same SP2 and hotfix packages on other non-clustered servers where default system db locations remained the same. On all servers other than Servers A and B, the installs proceeded smoothly and without issue.

On Server B, which was already running SP2 + Hotfix KB933097, we tried installing Cumulative Update Package 1 (Build 9.0.3161) on the primary node. The install proceeded until the following errors were encountered:

"[Microsoft][SQL Native Client][SQL Server]Cannot find the object 'dm_exec_query_resource_semaphores', because it does not exist or you do not have permission."

"[Microsoft][SQL Native Client][SQL Server]Cannot find the object 'dm_exec_query_memory_grants', because it does not exist or you do not have permission."

After this, the setup finished with the message "Product: Microsoft SQL Server 2005 (64-bit) - Update 'Hotfix 3161 for SQL Server Database Services 2005 (64-bit) ENU (KB935356)' could not be installed. Error code 1603. Additional information is available in the log file C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL Server90Setup BootstrapLOGHotfixSQL9_Hotfix_KB935356_sqlrun_sql.msp.log."

We rebooted the server and tried several times to reinstall the hotfix as sa and as the database service account with full windows and sa credentials, each time with no success, and rebooting between retries. All other components were installed successfully. We were hesitant to try uninstalling the hotfix, since it was unable to be removed successfully in previous attempts. However, when I connected to Database Engine using Management Studio, I found that the version of SQL being reported was in fact Build 9.0.3161! Everything also appeared to be running properly.

I tried to to Google the answer, but could only find information as applied to SP1 when system dbs master and mssqlsystemresource were located on different locations (http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;918695 ). I had already verified that all system dbs, including the ones mentioned, were originally and currently located together on M:Microsoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLData.


Finally I contacted a fellow DBA who advised me to continue installing all the other hotfixes, and then compare all SQL files against other servers where the install succeeded to ensure all system files were updated correctly (matching file sizes and datetime stamps). Since we were depending on a fix in Cumulative Update Package 3 to fix a critical log-shipping security issue, I went ahead with the rest of the installs, getting the same error with each package, rebooting between each install.

We found after the final install that the mssqlsystemresource files in the M:Microsoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLData

directory were in fact updated after each install with a new timestamp, and that all files in C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLBinn matched on both file size and timestamp. The log-shipping security issue we were looking to fix also appeared to be resolved by the last update.

On Server A, which was running SP1 (Build 9.0.2047), we installed the same SP2 package as we had on Server B with no issue. We rebooted and then tried to apply the same Hotfix KB933097 (Build 9.0.3152) that had been applied successfully on Server B and found to our surprise that the same errors were being generated here as well. We continued to apply the rest of the hotfixes so that both servers matched software updates. Comparing the above directories showed that files seemed to have been updated, even though database services appeared to be not installed.

It looks like we now need Cumulative Update 5 hotfix package in order to deal with WMI alerting issues, but I'm afraid to apply it until we have a known resolution for the past errors.


Since this issue was supposed to be resolved by SP2, I'm not sure why these post-SP2 hotfixes should fail. It seems to me to be an issue of the directory location of the system files which is in question.

I can post the hotfix log files as well, if anyone is interested in seeing them.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. As well, does anyone have any idea when SP3 is scheduled to come out? I really don't like applying hotfixes which are usually untested for general purposes, and it seems Microsoft is delaying this in favour of releasing SQL 2008.

Restore Of Database Via Veritas 9.1 Fails With Communication Error

May 24, 2006

We are running SQL 2000 sp4, only one user database (SAP) the database is 63 GB.
The ldf files were trashed so I went to tape to restore.
We are using veritas backup exec 9.1 sp4. Veritas is on the same server. I can restore the master db and the msdb fine. However when we attempt to restore the DEV db it runs for 2 hours and then fails with a communication error from veritas.
When we restore the master the DEV db comes up suspect as there are no files for it to attach to) so we cannot attach to it to restore, so I have deleted it and attempted to restore - same communication error. I have recreated a db named DEV with the mdf etc created to the size needed plus some to be sure, no good same behavior (behavior described below).
The job starts and it creates all the folders for the database (there are 1 MDF, 5 NDF, and 4 LDF files each in its own folder). Then it begins to create teh individual files it gets ~half way through at about an hour-hour and fifteen. During this time there are a large number of writes being performed by SQL (I assume it is creating the structures). Then it switches over to reading from tape a large number of read by beengine for another 45-1.5 hours then the job fails with the error unable to communicate with the device. I ahve noticed that once it starts reading from tape the db is gone from enterprise manager, and the mdf etc. files that were being created are now gone.

Help this has gone on for three days!!!

Restore In Recovery Mode Fails Sometimes With [SQLSTATE 42000] (Error 3013)

May 26, 2008

Hi,
I run 2 steps viz with NORECOVERY and with RECOVERY in sequence as SQP jobs. The 2nd step fails some times. When it starts failing, I run full backup of the production server again and the 2nd step starts succeding. Unless I run the full backup the 2nd step keeps on failing.

What are the conditions which generate for [SQLSTATE 42000] (Error 3013) and how to tackle this problem.?

The 2 steps are :-

RESTORE Database - Database In Use, Restore Fails

Nov 19, 1999

11/19

Trying to keep out sysadmins & sa during/between database RESTORE

Configuration:
WINNT Server Enterprise 4.0 w/SP5
SQL Server 7 Enterprise & SP1

2 SQL Servers:
Production Server
Standby server

I Backup (full backup) databases to disk on primary server (logical backup devices are physicaly located on a Standby server (dedicated gigabit NIC in each server for this process). Transaction logs are applied to the Standby server throughout the day.

Problem:
How to keep out "sa" and sysadmins from a database while I'm restoring (or between restores) to a standby server?
The database being restored cannot be in use during a restore.
If a DBA forgets that this process is happening, the statement fails (RESTORE)for the database they happen to be in at the time of the restore.

Example restore statement:
Standby Server -
RESTORE DATABASE databasename FROM database_dd WITH DBO_ONLY, REPLACE, STANDBY = 'g:Mssql7FromPrimaryDatabaseName_undo.ldf'

I could restrict Domain sysadmin access and change sa password. I could also put the database in "Single user" mode, however this could become problem if my process disconnects and then someone else connects - then my process is locked out. What I'm really looking for is to lock out all activity for a database that is in "standby mode" except for RESTORE processes.

Any ideas??

The error is a bit missleading because the file that it is trying to copy rssrvpolicy.config does appear in that upgrade folder so I am not sure why it would try to copy a file that has already been copied.

I was able to upgrade the Database Engine instance fine but can't upgrade Reporting Services due to that error. I have verified that the account that ran the setup had the administrator permissions. Your prompt reply to my question would be greatly appreciatted.

HI, My computer keeps trying to download SQL Server 2005 Express Edition SP2 and fails with the error code 0x2B22. It is a new computer running with Windows XP Pro.

I have spent hours searching the forums and the internet, but I can't find anything to help, or I don't understand the solutions or whether they relate to my computer. I don't know how to find out why the update is failing either.

Please can someone help!!

Upgrade From SQL Server 2005 Express To 2005 Enterprise Fails

Dec 29, 2006

Hi

I am trying to upgrade SQL Server 2005 Express to SQL Server 2005 Enterprise Edition.
(As a Preparation to install SQLServer2005 Service Pack 2 (CTP))

I tried to upgrade a particular Instance (OFFICESERVERS, which was based on SQL Server 2005 Express ).

During the upgrade I get a message saying that ...

.....Your upgrade is blocked because of edition upgrade rules.....

All other components I selected for Installation are propertly installed (Analysis, Reporting)

The setup log contains the following detail information:

---- Context -----------------------------------------------
Setting status of unmanaged components and removing unmanaged resources

Error Code: 29543

I also tried to explicitly upgrade the OFFICESERVERS instance by executing Setup from the command shell:

start /wait setup.exe ADDLOCAL=SQL_Engine INSTANCENAME=OFFICESERVERS UPGRADE=SQL_Engine SKUU
PGRADE=1 /qb

The result is the same, i.e.... Your upgrade is blocked because of edition upgrade rules...

Does anybody know about this problem?
Some more information about the system:
W2K3 R2 Enterprise Edition
WSS3.0
MOSS2007
previously installed SQL Server 2005 Express Edition (Version 9.00.2047.00)

Kinde regards

Integration Of 2 SQL 2005 DB Servers

Dec 12, 2006

Hi,

I have 2 database servers and each has same database.Program that inserts these databases randomly selects one of them to insert data.So only difference is data.

I have to generate some report using these 2 sources.System administrators reject integrating these 2 servers into one.

My question is , I want to run a query that looks the column x in table y and finds unique records in this table.But this works just in one DB.What do you recommend me to find solution that finds real unique records, i.e. looks both servers to find records.

Is there a Microsoft product that may be configured brain of different DB Servers or any other solution?

I have also memory restrictions and data is considered as more than 100 GBytes for each server.

Answers will be highly appreciated.

Thanks.

Just wondering before I do it, I am in the UK and studying for an mcdba which i require sql server 2000 on my laptop but I'm also doing the sql server 2005 exams aswell at the same time,

Now I know that you can have multiple instances on sql server on one machine but would I be able to have 2000 and 2005 running on the same machine or would it not be advisable

Thanks
