I really don't understand this, in an attempt to upgrade/install SP3a, I download the file sql2kdesksp3.exe, which from the documentation, you can either use for upgrading or new installs. I run a new install; in the new instance, I execute "select @@version" and get "Service Pack 1"??
View 8 RepliesHi,
Do we have to manually install the ODBC 3.70 drivers for SQL server 7.0, or do they get automatically installed during the SQL server 7.0 installation. I did not see anything when I installed. So I am thinking that the drivers have to be installed separately
Thanks

this may well be the wrong place for my post, if so please move it.
I have a variety of boxes with SQL tools installed on them. For some reason last week several of them seem to have gone a bit squif.
Server 1. Enterprise manager fails to run, giving message MMC could not create the snap-in. QA runs fine.
Server 2. Load EM click on a database and try Tools --> QA it comes back with File Not Found. Add isqlw as an external tool and you can run that ok, but still File Not found on the QA tab.
I know its not data corruption, but I hope someone can give me a clue on this!
Cheers!
I am currently attempting to install SQL Server 2005. I had to install once due to a faulty install now when I try re-install it says all components are installed and won't continue install procedure and shuts itself down. Anyone else have this issue and know the work around or fix?
View 5 Replies View RelatedHi everyone,
I can't figure out what this problem may be:
At my application I'm installing sqlexpr32.exe by doing this:
Code Block
System.Diagnostics.Process proc1 = System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(
Environment.ExpandEnvironmentVariables("%SQLHome%")+ @" sqlexpr32.exe", "/norebootchk /qb reboot=ReallySuppress addlocal=all " + "instancename=SQLEXPRESS SQLAUTOSTART=1");
proc1.WaitForExit();
proc1.Close();
when I do this for the first time the sql setup runs but gives me an error saying that the file sqlncli.msi (Native Client) was not found
but if I go to the temp directory the msi is there..
when I run the app for the second time the sqlexpr32.exe detects the Native Client setup file and does the installation perfectly..
What could it be? Some thread issues?
Thanx in advance
I had a working SQL 2005 that I had to uninstall. I tried to verify things were cleaned up appropriately after the uninstall and rebooted afterwards.
When I went to reinstall I choose to install on another logical drive under raid 5 (lets say H:) in the EXACT same configuration as it was previously installed sans some of the services. Post-installation the data, Install etc folders you would expect to be under H:Program FilesSQL Server are actually under C:Program FilesSQL Server and the only thing installed under the H: selection was the 90/ folder. We uninstalled again and went back through the process and confirmed the selection of drive H: and AGAIN it installed it all to C:.
Please help!!!!!!!
I completed an install of SQL 2005 SP2 on Windows Server 2003. Everything worked fine I can connect while logged into the box, while connected thru RDP. I can create databases add users without any issue. Until!!!!
I have a third party application (Tririga) which I run the install and indicate the SQL database (in this case local) The application begins to install but when I get to the point of adding the SA password the install fails.
"login fails for sa) 18456 sev 8 (wrong password) but it is the same password I use to connect to the DB. So I change the sa assword and try again and it still fails.
any suggestions would be nice. by the way on machines on which I have run an upgrade from 2000 (sql) to 2005 (sql) the install does not fail.

View 2 Replies View RelatedHello,
I have a quick question about automating installation of SQL 2005. This question doesn't relate as much to SQL 2005 as it does setting up a database server.
I know that it's usually standard practice to allow SQL to "lock pages in memory". What I am trying to do is find a command line utility that will allow me to add this step to the SQL install script. Any help is appreciated. Thank you.
I am trying to install SQL 2005 that came with my Visual Studio 2008 on my Vista Machine, it will install successfully, but when I want to get to say, the Management Studio, or the Configuration Manager, there is no "Microsoft SQL 2005" node in my All Programs. what gives? you kind of need those. thanks.
View 1 Replies View RelatedWith Vista Ultimate (release), I installed SQL server 2005 Developer edition. I installed SP1, apparently successfully. But my Windows update history shows the SP being installed successfully every night. I have automatic updating turned on (via AD policy).
Has anyone seen this, and does anyone know how to fix it?
Thanks in advance.

I nabbed a couple from some recent installs I did, and, assuming I can get my SAN guy to always give drives the same letter assignment, it looks fairly useful.
There's still a bunch of additional stuff to do, like turn on instant file initialization, size/create additional tempdb files, and set up alerts and database mail, etc.
Can the configuration file be expanded to handle any of that? Do you use something else to template/automate your SQL installs? The more I do it, the less I want to keep doing it.
I'm trying to upgrade my MSDE to sp3a, I'm following the instructions.
c:sql2ksp3MSDE
setup /upgradesp sqlrun DISABLENETWORKPROTOCOLS=1
But receive the following message:

Then
Could not find package to install on the installation media.
Any help?
Thank you.
Select @@version does not know the difference between SP3 and SP3A.
Does anyone know of a SQL statement that will let me know if I have SP3A??
Thanks.
We have the rtm version of SQL 2000 and have spent the last 2.5 hours trying to apply SP3a. Nothing on the microsoft support site has pointed us to the solution.
Basically, we start the install after shutting down the services, answer all the questions and then when it starts to copy files it fails with an error
'microsoft data access component failed (-1).
Looking in c:winntdatestup.log, the error is unknown. The c:winntsqlsrp.log file is not touched.
We tried renaming the odbcconf.dll file per a microsoft article and no joy.
We also restored mdac_type.exe file per microsoft article and no joy.
Trying to install SP1 and SP2 - same results.
Anyone got any ideas besides it's time to call Microsoft?
:confused:
I am trying to install sql server sp3a. I checked the version before and after the sp is applied, and it shows:
8.00.194
Now, according to the sp3a readme:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=/support/servicepacks/SQL/2000/SP3ReadMe.asp
the following versions should show:
SQL Server 2000 Original Release 8.00.194 RTM
Database Components SP1 or Desktop Engine SP1 8.00.384 SP1
Database Components SP2 or Desktop Engine SP2 8.00.534 SP2
Database Components SP3 or SP3a, or Desktop Engine SP3 or SP3a 8.00.760 SP3
This would imply that after installing sp3a and restarting, the version reported should now be 8.00.760. However, it still shows 8.00.194. So it appears to have not really installed, althought the sp3a installation ran without incident. So, how can I get the sp3a to not just act like it installed, but actually get it to install? Also, I have shut down all mssql services and rebooted, applied patch, and rebooted again. Doesn't help.
Also, if it is really installing, is there another way to tell?
Anyway, I really need to be able to install sp3a to see if it fixes another problem I'm having. Unfortunetly, since I can't even tell if the sp3a is installing, I can't tell if it really doesn't help or not. Thanks.

Our environment is currently running on SQL 2000 sp3a (win2003) and I'm having an issue with 'max worker threads', so I opened a ticket with Microsoft.
They tell me that SP3a is no longer support and I have to upgrade all our servers to SP4.
We had an issue in my previous company and I was told by a consultant that I shouldn't install SP4 because it caused a lot of issues. I'm aware of the 'AWE enabled' issue, are there any others I should watch out for?
Thanks

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

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)..

Now that support for SQL SP3a has been removed, how does this affect MSDE installations? We've got lots of products installed that have come with MSDE backends, all on SP3a. Is it up to the individual vendors as to whether they continue to support on this version? Backup Exec and Insight Manager are 2 that spring to mind.

I have successfully installed SQL Server 2005 SP1 but when I go to the "Microsoft Update" site it is still shown as required. I have tried going back to an old image of the PC and installing SQL Server 2005 and SP1 again but still the "Microsoft Update" page is not picking up the fact that SP1 has installed successfully. Anyone had the same problem or know of a fix?

I've had some problems with Reporting Services and getting connected to the database server after configuration. I am now getting the following error message:
The report server cannot open a connection to the report server database. A connection to the database is required for all requests and processing. (rsReportServerDatabaseUnavailable) (rsRPCError)
In my Database Setup everything runs fine when I click apply except for the Setting Connection Info for Reporting Server this has a yellow triangle with a ! and says that the report server cannot access internal information.
I also have not been able to Initialize as there are no instances to initialize and none are created when I go through setup. Is there something I need to delete from the registry or the file system that does not get removed upon uninstall?
Thanks.

I just downloaded and installed MSDE2000 sp3a for winform and asp.net
quickstart tutorial. But I found it has no sample database such as pubs
and northwind. It used to have these databases. At least in last September
when .Net web Matrix came out.
If this is the case, can someone tell me where to get the sql scripts
to create Northwind database in MSDE?
Becasue the winform tutorial uses this database.
Thanks in advance!

I just upgraded my desktop engine MSDE 1.0 to MSDE 2000 SP3a. Everything seemed to go well, MSSQLSERVER AND SQLSERVER Agent Services are running, problem is, I can no longer see the particular instance on the network from Enterprise Manager.
The installation instructions specified that if the Instance was to accept connections from applications on other computers not to specify the DISABLENETWORKPROTOCOLS parameter, so I didn't.
I'm a little green with this, can anyone suggest a place to start troubleshooting?
I urgently need tom use SP3a upgrade the instance of SQLServer200MSDE runing on my local machine but I am having problems in doing so.My first problem is that when I start the set up procedure I get themessage"A strong SA password is required for security reasons. Please useSAPWD switch to supply the same"Currently the sa password isAbc/def/ghk1Which I think is a 'strong password' according to the microsoft rulesathttp://www.microsoft.com/resources/...sword_tips.mspxI would be grateful if someone could confirm that Abc/def/ghk1 is astrong password.If anyone could point me to some published informal help on installingSP3a then that would also be very helpful (I do of course have the MSread me file). If anyone has a sample command line entry for theupdating then I would find that extremely useful. There is oneinstance of MSDE on my machine, named NetSDK.Best wishes, John Morgan
View 6 Replies View RelatedA Win2k, SQL2k machine with SP2 that only just now has been updated to SP3afails in different ways. Among other things, when I now start EnterpriseManager, I get a message saying "rebbrui.rll" is missing and the snap-infails to initiate. But then the Manager starts anyway.But the SQL application does not work. I searched around the net, and Ifound that it looks as if SQL Slammer has been on the server. I can tell bythe similar symptoms other users have had, allthough I am not sure. Anyway,when I run some online virusscans and the Symantec SQLexp-tool to removeSlammer, I am told that the system is virusfree. Is that because SP3a toSQL2000 automatically got rid of the virus (if any)?But how do I get the SQL to run without any errors again?The server also runs in Terminal Application Mode.Regards, Lars.
