Robocopy SQL Server Directory
Oct 15, 2007
I am in the process of creating a VM server which serves as a backup for a production SQL server. the SQL server has SQL directory installed on C: and F: partitions. Sql installation files reside on C: while MSSQL directory (include backup, logs, data, etc.. ) reside on F:. The VM was created by cloning of the original (production) server but only C: partition. I need to use robocopy to copy the MSSQL directory from original sql (F:) server to the VM (F:). My questions are:
1. will doing it this way mess up database integrity on the VM?
2. What should I check to ensure installed filed registered to the new VM server instead of the original sql server?
3. what switches of robocopy should be used to produce exact copy of the MSSQL folder from original server to the VM
4. the current database is about 1GB, how long the robocopy may take?
If you have experienced this before, please share your thoughts, suggestions, ideas. Very much appreciate your feedback.
Thank you

I need help with better solution to copy my bak and trn files to a file server. This is the background. I use to dump the backup files directly to the file server; this was not €œbest practices€? according to some books and forums. Back to dump the file first to local disc and after that letting robocopy copy the files to the file server. And I end up with this problem.
This is error from the backup log
Failed-1073548784) Executing the query "BACKUP DATABASE [BPROJCT] TO DISK = N'F:\backup\BPROJCT\BPROJCT_backup_200711281700.bak' WITH NOFORMAT, NOINIT, NAME = N'BPROJCT_backup_20071128170005', SKIP, REWIND, NOUNLOAD, STATS = 10
" failed with the following error: "Write on "F:\backup\BPROJCT\BPROJCT_backup_200711281700.bak" failed: 112(There is not enough space on the disk.)
This is the error from the robocopy log
New File 0 BPROJCT_backup_200711201700.bak
2007/11/20 17:02:11 ERROR 32 (0x00000020) Copying File F:ackupBPROJCTBPROJCT_backup_200711201700.bak
The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process.
Waiting 30 seconds... Retrying...
Robocopy tries to copy the file before its completely written to disk. I have made a batch file that looks like this
robocopy
"F:ackup" "\sefwg-sqlbackackupACON" *.* /MIR /TBD /MON:1 /MOT:5 /LOG+:"F:ackupackup.log" /NP
Monitor the file folder and copy all files every 5 min, the file is started with scheduled Task.
Have I missed some switch? Can start robocopy from SQL Serer Agent in a xp_cmd_shell?

I am trying to do robocopy of files from one server to another using SSIS package in order to automate and schedule the task.
So, int the Execute Process task editor I put the following

TestSource and TestDest are folder names,
And I want all the files in the source folder to be copied to the destination folder.
I am getting this error when I execute the task:Â The process exit code was "16" while the expected was "0"

Has anyone used this successfully from an OLEDB source component, or even from the Execute SQL Task? I've seen some examples of using a script component, but nothing that uses it through a connection manager.

Hello,
I have recently upgraded my the server that runs SQL Server to an Active Directory Domain Controler. Now I can't connect to the SQL Server from ASP.NET Applications when the application is not located on the local machine. The error message I get is SQL Server does not exist or access is denied.
I have no problems connecting with QueryAnalyer and Enterprise Manager from my workstation. I have added the Sql Server to the directory via the "Active Directory"-tab in the Property window for my Sql Server Registration i Enterprise Manager.
If I copy a directory from the wwwroot on my workstation to the server the application has no problem to connect so the connectionstring seams to work fine.
Any ideas?
Regards,
Kalle

I have a question regarding BCP. We are doing a BCP operation from one machine to another machine. (i.e) Flat file from the web server are BCP on to the DB server. For this operation we have mounted the FTP directory of the web server on to the DB server. Say G: drive of the DB server is mapped to the Ftp directory of the web server.
Now when we run the BCP we get the following error.
SQLState = 08001, NativeError = 6
Error = [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][Named Pipes]Specified SQL server not found.
SQLState = 01000, NativeError = 53
Warning = [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][Named Pipes]ConnectionOpen (Create File()).
The connection is using NAMED PIPES.
Say when we BCP out the above error message comes but the flat file is generated with out any records in it.
Are we missing any parameter settings.
Please help.

An error occurred while preparing the query "SELECT name

Sometimes a user name will change in Active Directory and I have to change the name in SQL Server as well. So what I do is first delete the old user name from SQL Server's logins. However I wont be able to see the new user name in SQL Server to add it as a legit user until I roboot the server. Is there somekind of code I can execute to resynchronize with Active Directory again?

Here is what I tried to do:
exec sp_ActiveDirectory_SCP @Action = N'create'
error message output:
The service cannot be started, either becuase it is diabled or because it has no enabled devices associated with it.
Msg 22039, Level 16, State 1, Line 0
xpadsi90.exe failed.
How do I get around this problem?
I have SQL server 2005 + sp2.

I want to create a view in SQL populated with users from our Active Directory. I have learnt that this can be done using linked server. I have tried using the following:
sp_addlinkedserver 'ADSI', 'Active Directory Services 2.5', 'ADSDSOObject', 'adsdatasource'
go
sp_addlinkedsrvlogin @rmtsrvname = 'ADSI', @useself = 'false', @locallogin = 'sa', @rmtuser = 'lok_applications', @rmtpassword = '9dfFfG374GoiAo6yxxc8oZ'
SELECT *
FROM OpenQuery( ADSI,
'SELECT * FROM "LDAP://194.22.1.18/DC=lok,DC=net"')
I keep getting this error no matter what I try:
An error occurred while preparing a query for execution against OLE DB provider 'ADSDSOObject'.
OLE DB error trace [OLE/DB Provider 'ADSDSOObject' ICommandPrepare::Prepare returned 0x80040e14].
Any ideas why??

I want to move the SQL Server 7.0 root directory from C:MSSQL7 to D:MSSQL7 (same host). I see the startup parameters under server properties could be changed to point to the new location, but Master has the paths to all the databases recorded in sysdatabases table, so at least that would have to change, and sysdevices table points to files on C:. And maybe the NT registry points to some files there too. Anyway, is there some established method to move it? If that isn't practical, at least I would want to move TEMPDB ( perhaps by using the SP_DETACH and SP_ATTACH method ). My main database is already on D: so I do not have to move it. Any informed advice would be appreciated. Thanks.

I was wondering how exactly one can search the Active Directory with SQL Server 2000. There is all kind of stuff on the Internet about how to connect them and how useful it is to connect them together - plus how you can use Active Directory to query SQL Server, but I`ve never encountered any article where they explain how SQL Server can search the Active Directory.
I`m thinking about how one has their user-database in Active Directory with all users in groups, but only uses groups in SQL Server. How exactly can SQL Server figure out how a user belongs to a group?
Does Active Directory tell SQL Server about that when the user tries to access something from SQL Server, or does SQL Server already knows which group is accessing it as soon as the user authenticates in Active Directory?

Hi,
Couple questions regarding SQL Server Active Directory Helper service:
a)What is its purpose?
b)Where can I get more detailed information about this service and
SQL Server 2005 services in general?
c)How can the following error during start up phase of this service
be avoided?
Error Message:
'0' is an invalid number of start up parameters. This service takes two start up parameters.
FYI: SQL Server 2005 is run on Windows XP professional.
Thanks,

Hi all,
just want to confirm this:
We have a department and want to grant them access to various databases on a sql server 2000 instance. Can we create an AD group for these users and just add the group as a login to SQL Server? Or do we have to create a db user for each member of the group and map the logins one by one?
Thanks

Hi,
As stated in the subject, I need to import a complete directory structure, from a root folder that I specify into a SQL Server database. To add further complexity, I also need to see what files exist in each directory.
At the end of the day what I am trying to achieve is to populate a table that will essentially have two columns, the filename and the directory that the file resides in. I am running SQL Server 2005.
Has anybody ever done anything like this before using T-SQL?
Thanks in advance.

My task is to convert jpeg's to binary and then insert them into a table called "images". I need to convert/insert all jpeg files in a directory. I'm able to accomplish the task if the files are numbered. The query below works by retrieving one file at a time based on the value of @i. However, I also have directories where the files are not numbered but have ordinary text names like "Red_Sofa.jpg". I need to iterate through these directories as well and convert/insert the jpeg's. I'm running SSMS 2014 Express on 4.0 and Windows 7.
DROP TABLE images
CREATE TABLE images
(
image_name varchar(500) null
,image_data varbinary(max) null

We have just installed a SQL Server 2000 (SP 3A) onto a computer thathas Windows-2003 Server on it. Now, we cannot get access to thatdatabase server from other computers. Seem like this may be an issuewith Active Directory.Our network consists of Windows-2000 Servers (SP 4) and Windows-2000workstations and Windows-XP workstations. We also have SQL Server 2000(SP2) in three Windows-2000 servers. All work fine. Recently, we get anew server that has already had Windows-2003 Server pre-installed.After we have installed SQL Server 2000 (SP 3A) on the new server, wefind that we cannot get access to that new database server from othercomputers.I have tried connecting to that new database server using QueryAnalyzer (using both the sa account and Windows Authentication), and Iget this error message:Unable to connect to server NEWDBSRV:Server: Msg 17, Level 16, State 1[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][DBNETLIB]SQL Server does notexist or access denied.I have tried connecting to that new database server using ISQL (usingboth the sa account and Windows Authentication), and I get this errormessage:DB-Library: Unable to connect: SQL Server is unavailable or does notexist.Unable to connect: SQL Server does not exist or network accessdenied.Net-Library error 53: ConnectionOpen (Connect()).I have also tried to register the new database server using EnterpriseManager (again, using both the sa account and Windows Authentication),and I get this error message:NEWDBSRV - SQL Server does not exist or access denied.ConnectionOpen(Connect())The only way that I can get access to the new database server is toopen Enterprise Manager directly on the new server.I have compared the properties of the new database server and those ofthe other existing database servers. The only differences are:-Other database servers are running Windows-2000. The new databaseserver is running Windows-2003.-The new database server is missing the "Active Directory" page-tagwhen I check its properties using Enterprise Manager. We use ActiveDirectory in our network, and the Active Directory is being run from aWindows-2000 server (that is currently also a database server).According to our network administrator, he has already put the newserver into our Active Directory. He doesn't know why it is missingthe Active Directory page-tag. He believes this has something to dowith its having Windows-2003 that is different from other servers(that have Windows-2000).Thanks in advance for any info.Jay Chan

I mapped a login created with an Active Directory Group on server A to a login on server B through a linked server on server A and received a null login error when attempting to connect.
I changed the Active Directory Group login to an individual active directory login and the connection worked fine.
I saw someone post online somewhere that Active Directory Groups don't work with linked server by design--but I wanted to get confirmation on this. Can anyone confirm this, particularly someone from Microsoft?
