MS SQL Server :: SQL 2000 To 2005 In-place Upgrade Blocked!

SQL 2000 SP4 To SQL 2005 Upgrade Blocked.

Feb 15, 2007

I am upgrading a sql server 2000 with sp4 (I have double and triple checked the sp) on a windows 2003 sp1 server and I keep getting the following error:

Name: Microsoft SQL Server 2000
Reason: Your upgrade is blocked. For more information about upgrade support, see the "Version and Edition Upgrades" and "Hardware and Software Requirements" topics in SQL Server 2005 Setup Help or SQL Server 2005 Books Online.

Service pack requirement check:
Your upgrade is blocked because of service pack requirements. To proceed, apply the required service pack and then rerun SQL Server Setup. For more information about upgrade support, see the Version and Edition Upgrades topic in SQL Server 2005 Setup Help or SQL Server 2005 Books Online.

I cannot find anything saying that I need any other service pack other than sp4 for sql serer 2000. Any one ever run into this or have a clue what might be causing the installer to think I have the wrong service pack?

Sql Server 2000 Upgrade To 2005 Blocked

Mar 4, 2008

I've inherited 6 sql server 2000 boxes. I've upgrade 3 with no trouble. now I have one that gives the message :
"your upgrade is blocked because of cross-language compatibility rules.
For more information about cross-language support, see the version..."

all servers are 2003, sp2. All SQL is Enterprise edition, default language is "english". even the collation order is
the same. why the cross language message? Any help would be good else I'll be forced to rebuild the DB and load application again. ugly!!

SQL 2000 To 2005 In-Place Upgrade - How ?

Aug 15, 2007

I've installed a test instance of SQL 2000 on a test box. I want to try the In-Place upgrade to 2005. I installed 2005 on the test box also, but have been unable to see how to perform the upgrade. I thought running 2005 setup again would prompt me for an instance name .... but it just tells me 2005 is already installed. I must be missing something simple.

In-place Upgrade Vs Fresh Install 2005 From 2000

Apr 21, 2008

hello, what is the general consensus on installing SQL 2005. I usually run a backup of SQL 2000 dbs and then restore on SQL 2005 and change compatibility to 9.0. Is it the right way to upgrade? I'm only asking because I also did one db in-place to SQL 2005 and thought it went well until I browsed my system dbs. All of them are missing tables that usually appear in SQL 2005 system dbs. Other than that I haven't run into too many problems.

SQL 2005 Upgrade Problem - In Place Upgrade

Feb 10, 2007

Hi,

We are running a test upgrade form sql 2000 standard edition 32 bit to sql 2005 developer edition 32bit. Followed through all the steps and specified the account(SA priveleges and currently used by the 2000 version) and is the local admin on the box for the services and the setup seemed to move fine, except for when it got to the point of installing database services - This is the error message that I got:

MSSQLServer could not be started. Verify you have sufficient priveleges to start system services. The was no choice but to hit cancel and then the set up progressed with a final message of 'SEtup failed'.

Here is a portion of the error log:

In-place Upgrade From SQL 2000 SP4 Failed

Feb 19, 2008

Perhaps someone here can give me a hand with this... I have three servers running SQL Server 2000. Two are running Windows Server 2000 SP4 with SQL 2000/SP4 and one Windows Server 2003 with SQL 2000/SP?(probably not 4). I copied the installation DVD to a network drive and successfully performed an in-place upgrade of the Windows Server 2003 machine. However, when I try to upgrade either of the other servers, I get an error indicating that I have a service pack problem.

Reason: Your upgrade is blocked. For more information about upgrade support, see the "Version and Edition Upgrades" and "Hardware and Software Requirements" topics in SQL Server 2005 Setup Help or SQL Server 2005 Books Online.

My SQL 2005 media was probably released before SP4 was released because the Setup Help indicates that you can directly upgrade from SP3, but makes no mention of SP4. I can't imagine there are any migration problems with it since I can't find any reference to it as a problem on any SQL Server sites... So... I'm left wondering what my problem really is...

Any help would be appreciated.

Your Upgrade Is Blocked.. When Adding Components To SQL 2005 Standard Edition SP1

Sep 28, 2006

Name: Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Tools

Hello,

I am having a problem when trying to add the Client Components to an existing installation of SQL 2005 Standard Edition SP1 running on Windows 2003 Standard. The server was originally built with SQL 2005 Standard Edition and had SP1 installed at a later date. I am using the CD that SQL was originally installed with which is not a service packed copy of SQL. The reason given when clicking the details button is as follows:

Reason: Your upgrade is blocked. For more information about upgrade support, see the "Version and Edition Upgrades" and "Hardware and Software Requirements" topics in SQL Server 2005 Setup Help or SQL Server 2005 Books Online.

Build version check:

Your upgrade is blocked because the existing component is a later version than the version you are trying to upgrade to. To modify an existing SQL Server component, go to Add or Remove Programs in Control Panel, select the component you would like to modify, and then click Change/Remove.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Your Upgrade Is Blocked

Jun 29, 2006

I am getting the following error message when I tried installing the 2005 Developer Edition from the MSDN kit. I previously installed the 2005 Express Edition, and it worked just fine, so I thought that the install failed as it was at a lower version than the Express Edition. I uninstalled the SQLExpress Edition, however, when I try to install SQL Server 2005 again, I get the following message:

Setup And Upgrade :: Installation Of Express 2014 Blocked By Framework 4.0?

Sep 17, 2015

I have a very strange problem when I try to install SQL Express 2014 on 1 PC on my network.

The setup is blocking on the step "rules of functionnality" (I hope it is the good translation ...).

I ha ve a message that indicates that there is a problem the following checking : "It exists a Internet connection with the download center for Microsoft Framework 4.0". At the beginning I had Framework 3.5 and 4.5 installed on the PC.

When I tried to install manually Framework 4.0 I had a message that indicated that the setup was not possible because there was a Superior version. So I uninstall v4.5 and install v4.0 normally.

I run again SQL 2014 Express setup but I have always the same error. I take a look on Internet to look for the same problem but I found nothing.

In-Place Upgrade Query

May 10, 2007

Hi,

While we choose in-place upgrade for upgrading to SQL Server 2005 from SQL Server 2000, does it actually change the code in Stored Procedures/functions also?

e.g. if I have *= in some old procedure does it change it to INNER JOIN while migrating?

Please help me on this ASAP.

Regards,

Rahul

Does In-place Upgrade Set Compatibility Level To 9.0

Jun 19, 2007

This may be very obvious and when I get to the first test server I will find out, but I only have a new installation of SQL2K5 so far to test with. I have several databases that need to be upgraded to run on 2K5, but the application requires them to run in 8.0 compatibility. Does this mean that an in-place upgrade is not an option?

I apologize if this is a silly question, but I have not yet found the answer specifically.

Thanks very much.

Problem With In Place Upgrade Of Named Instance??

Jun 21, 2006

I have two software products that are accessing the same MSDE Database instance. I recently upgraded the MSDE instance to SQL Express using the in place method. The upgrade runs with success. However, one scenerio is breaking both software products.

1. Product A is not installed

2. An older version of Product B which uses MSDE is intalled.

3. I upgrade the MSDE instance to SQL Express

4. An older version of Product A is installed that uses MSDE.

Note: At this point the install of product A attempts to install an MSDE named instance that is the same as the upgraded instance

5. The install of Product A fails and corrupts the registry keys

6. Now my SQL Express named instance is corrupt and product B can not find the database instance.

Question: Can MSDE and SQL Express run side by side with both having an instance with the same name? I am pretty sure that the answer is going to be No.

If not, how can I prevent this scenerio from occurring. I'm thinking that I will have to do a side by side upgrade creating a new instance with a different name. Then I will have to direct both products to the new named instance. Any ideas or suggestions?

Best Way To Upgrade SQL 2000 To 2005

Dec 11, 2007

Hello,
I have a project where I have to upgrade SQL 2000 to 2005. When we are upgrading we are going to move to new server so server name will change. Most of our applications have a hard coded connection string. Applications are developed with Classic ASP, .NET 1.1 and 2.0 as well.
Now the question is what is the best way to do this? Changing all the connection string will be a very painful task as we have many applications.
Can anyone suggest a way where we can achieve this without changing all the connection strings?
Thanks in advance.

How Do I Upgrade From SQL 2000 TO 2005?

Nov 27, 2007

Hi,

I was wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction for upgrading from SQL 2000 to SQL 2005?

I was under the impression that it was as easy as following an upgrade path after popping in the CD, but I realized it's not.

I'm a Systems Administrator who has installed both version in stand alone systems, but never tried an upgrade.

Thanks for your help.

Sql 2000 To Sql 2005 Upgrade

Aug 9, 2006

I have a sql 2000/2005 side-by-side install on a single server. I right-click a sql 2000 database, select All Tasks, and the Copy Database to upgrade a sql 2000 database. In the "Copy Database Wizard" I see the message:

"To use the detach and attach method SQL Server Agent must run under an Integration Servicers Proxy account that can access the file system of both the source and destination servers."

1. What does that mean?

2. I decided to click "Finish" in the wizard, and the database copy seemed to work fine. Whaterver 1) means does, by default, the SQL Server Agent already run under this "Integration Services Proxy" account. (Rememberr the upgrade process did work).

TIA,

SQL 2000 To SQL 2005 Upgrade

Mar 7, 2008

I got a requirement to upgrade only One SQL 2000 to SQL 2005 server. i did check that there are only databases in this server along with Linked server. I am looking for a best practice document for SQL upgrade and any thoughts or experience any one has faced during upgrade.

Other question is what about if there is a DTS on the server. right now on this particular server there is no DTS but in coming weeks i may need to upgrade other server which is having DTS as well. I have worked alot on SSIS packages but want to see if DTS will be converted to SSIS packages or i will have to manually do it.

Thanks

SQL Upgrade From 2000 To 2005

Apr 2, 2008

Hi,

We have 2 .net 1.1 applications using Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Enterprise Edition. To connect to database we are using nHibernate 0.6 for one application and Microsoft Enterprise Library Data Blocks Ver 1.0 in another.
We are planning to upgrade SQL servers of both applications to SQL 2005 Enterprise edition and retain .net 1.1 framework. Are nHibernate 0.6 and Microsoft Enterprise Library 1.0 data blocks compatible with the SQL 2005? Are any upgrades required for these as well?
We ran SQL upgrade advisor report on these applications, there weren't any changes to table/ stored procs suggested. Could that mean that the existing table design and stored procs are compatible with SQL 2005?

Thanks in Advance,

How To Upgrade DTS From 2000 To 2005

Mar 9, 2008

Hi all,

I just ran sql upgrade advisor and got the following message:
"You can use SQL Server 2005 tools to edit your existing DTS packages. However, upgrading or
uninstalling the last instance of SQL Server 2000 on a computer removes the components required
to support this feature. You can retain or restore these components by installing the special
Web download, ��SQL Server 2000 DTS Designer Components,�? from the Microsoft Download Center
before or after you upgrade or uninstall SQL Server 2000."

I do have several DTS packages in my sql server 2000 database. does that mean if I upgrade my current 2000 database to 2005, those dts will be gone. But I can download sql server 2000 dts deginer components on our new sql 2005 database server before I upgrade. Then when I restore my sql 2000 database on our new 2005 server, eveything would be OK? I am not sure if my understanding is correct.

My advisor is on my local computer and I am running analysis against a remote database(on our intranet),��SQL Server 2000 DTS Designer Components,�? should be intalled on my local computer or remote database server? what steps I should take in order to retain my dts package or transform it into something else?

can you shed light on me?

Thanks.

Indexes & SQL 2000 -&> SQL 2005 Upgrade

Jun 17, 2008

Hi all,

Recently, I upgraded one of our database servers from SQL 2000 to SQL 2005. At the moment, all the databases are in 80 compatibility mode. I upgraded them based on the false pretenses that I could perform online reindexing right off the bat. Apparently, that isn't the case, and it requires switching to 90 compatibility. My question is if I switch to 90, will all indexes be invalidated/unusable? Or will I be able to switch to 90 and perform the online reindexing right away with no downtime?

We have a few 24/7 production VLDB's in the mix (one of which is on this newly upgraded server), and only reasonable downtime is possible. The largest window of downtime I have is about 10 PM - 5 AM with prior notice.

The upgrade was performed using SAN-based LUN's with a detach/reattach.

Thanks,

Matt

SQL 2000, SQL 2005 Express Upgrade

Apr 5, 2007

Hello

Server Details:
OS => Windows Server 2003
SQL => SQL Server 2005

Client Machines:
OS => WinXP sp2
SQL => 2000, 2005 express

The developers at work connect remotely to the server. Some of them have the "client SQL 2005 express" and others are using "SQL 2000"

Over the next week I plan to upgrade all the developers to 2005 Standard.

I have performed an upgrade of '2005 express' to '2005 standard' and encountered no problems. However I have no experience upgrading the 2000 client.

Can anyone suggest a strategy (fresh install/upgrade)or highlight any pitfalls that I should avoid.

Thanks in advance for any help/suggestions offered.

Regards

2000 To 2005: Upgrade Or Migrate ?

Jul 30, 2007

Initially, the articles I read suggested that doing an "in place" upgrade is the simplest path, with the drawback that if something goes wrong, I'll have to re-install 2000. And that migrating is more difficult since I'll have to recreate all the logins , security, replication ....

Then I saw a series of posts saying migration is the best ... backup & restore (or detach, reattach) the DBs to a new instance of SQL 2005. What about the systems DBs, such as MSDB and the DTS packages ?? Also, If I migrate to a new instance of SQL, how will I re-establish the connections from other servers ? They are replicating or DTS-ing to ServerA, but now SQL2005 is on ServerASQL2005 (Same server, different instance.

In the scale of things, we have fairly simple environments, although our Production database is almost 300 Gig.

If I install a new instance of SQL 2005 on my SQL 2000 server, and migrate everything from 2000 to 2005, I now have 2 instances: ServerA and ServerASQL2005. All my other servers are referencing the original instance name of ServerA. How do I resolve that problem so that communication between the other servers will still work ??

Any suggestions are truely welcome!
