SQL 2005 Installation: Can No Longer Network Print
May 16, 2008
Hi,
This is a very bizzare one. I have installed SQL many times and never had this problem. I had a user self install SQL 2005, as it turns out, he installed the wrong components, so a co-worker uninstalled it for him. We followed the support doc for the uninstall, because we had errors when tried to remove it.
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/909967
After, we were able to re-install (we installed this time via the command line), but for some odd reason we have completely lost the ability to print to ANY network printer. I didn't think this was possible, but I tried it on my machine and now I too am unable to print!
A couple of details:
Both machines:
XP-SP2
HP dx7400
Printers: a variety of HP Networked Printers (can't print to any)
I have added and removed the printers multiple times and tried adding via a local port... no luck
There is no error in the event log
If I try to print a test page, I get an error box that says "Test Page Failed to Print"
Since there are no real errors for the print issue, I am struggling to find a solution. Has anyone ever seen this??
Thanks!

Does anyone know of the procedure, steps that need to be followed to allow installing SQL 2005 Express from a network? Since SQL 2005 express requires .NET 2 and the MSI engine 3.1 and MDAC 2.8 it is a real problem pushing it from a network such as active directory using an AIP (Administrator Installation Point).

Hi,
we are running a Windows Application(.Net 2.0) against a MS SQL Server 2000 on WinXP. The application is able to succesefully connect to Database and execute "smaller stored procedure". The application also must execute a stored proc that returns 2M rows for export into a flat file.
When executing the stored proc from a remote box with 512M or less RAM(slow box), the application receives the error:
A transport-level error has occurred when receiving results from the server. (provider: TCP Provider, error: 0 - The specified network name is no longer available.)
If a box has 1G or RAM or more, application seems running fine.
Now, I have the application running on a slow box, watching memory usage, and it seems fine - the memory acquired by the application never exceded 39M of RAM, so I'm still not clear why connection is being closed.
Also, there seem to be no mesages from MS SQL server in Event Log.
The problem is that I have to make the app run on a "slow box".
Any ideas or comments are appreciated (somebody, please, help me ;-) )

Problem: We have intermittent failures of SQL Server jobs with the following error -
TCP Provider: The specified network name is no longer available. [SQLSTATE 08S01]
Communication link failure [SQLSTATE 08S01]
Types of job steps failing: DBCC Checkdb, LiteSpeed backups, re-indexing sql in stored procs, home-grown database update stored procs. These types of job steps are failing on 3 different servers in a 4-way active cluster although all 4 servers have the same type of job steps. No steps involved attempt cross-server processes, job only uses its own server and SAN.
Environment: 4-way active IA64bit cluster Windows 2003 datacenter running SQL2005 RTM. All 4 nodes attached to EMC Clarion SAN.
What we have already looked at: No additonal messages in event viewers. SQL Agent additional logging shows same error. Network services has monitored and sees nothing. Network services is current on firmware upgrades (just applied last batch 2 weeks ago) and still got 2 more errors after the upgrades. I've seen other postings (with no solutions) where people have same error with SQL2000 through SQL2005 SP2, so i don't believe SP2 will help this.

Hi Every one,
I am using .Net 1.1 for my web application.
And my database server is SQL Server 2005.
My application is running fine, as i can login to it and also able to view pages. But when i open Order management(having 3K records) its give me error,
General Network Error. Check your network documentation
I have also searched many articles and tried following solutions but nothing working
- connectiontimeout = 0, max pool size = 7500/100, pooling = false
- SSL disabling enforce security false as mentioned in microsoft kb article.
And there's nothing any issue with hardware/firewall as my application's login and other forms are working fine(which use same database with same connection string)
Can any one please help me to solve this error?
With Regards,

Hi All,
I have to do a lot of SQL Server Express 2005 installations and I've noticed that when I'm doing an install on a machine that's on a large network that the installer will "hang" towards the end of the installation process. The installer will say something about Local Groups and sit there for a really long time. As soon as I take the machine off of the network though (via unplugging the network cable) the installer jumps back into action. Of course, I've not seen this on a stand alone machine either...
It would seem to me that the installer is trying to communicate via the network or something and then when it loses its LAN access it just moves on. But I'm not entirely sure why it would need to do that. More importantly, is there a way that I can keep it from doing this? I'm doing a silent install so maybe I can use a command line swith or property?
In reviewing the command line options I didn't see much that seemed to fit; but perhaps one of you folks know of a way to achieve this.
Thank you for anything you can offer.

Hi every one,
I'd like to install SQL SERVER 2005 Express Edition ,I begin to install it from DVD but during the installation it dosn't ask me about any instance and after installation there isn't SQLExpress service and I can't use sql server .(there are not MSSQL and Binn directory in sql server 2005) but when I install visual studio 2005 and after that I install sql server 2005 it ask me for name of instance and with this way every thing is ok and I use sql server completely.

Hi all,
In SQL Server 2000 you could run the piece of code below, to enable the logging of a deadlock in the SQL Server error log. Which could then be used to fire an alert, and then kick of an Agent job to send an SMTP email alert.
Exec sp_altermessage 1205, 'WITH_LOG', 'true'
The error message logged was a nice simple one liner, like this:
Transaction (Process ID 57) was deadlocked on lock resources with another process and has been chosen as the deadlock victim. Rerun the transaction.
Now I work for a managed SQL Server company, and a large number of our clients used our alerting for deadlocking to tune their applications, or at a minimum to show them when something was wrong with the database due to sudden rise in the number of deadlocks.
However, in SQL Server 2005, the functionality for the sp_alertmessage procedure has been changed so that you can't update any message id less than 50,000. Which comes inline with the secure engine that Microsoft have designed.
But this now means you can no longer enable the logging for deadlock message ID 1205. Which in turn means no alerting can be enabled.
You can still log information by enabling the necessary trace flags, however that logs very verbose information about the deadlocking chain, which in turn can quickly blow the size of the error logs out.
What I would love to see is this functionality returned in SQL Server 2008, or at least an alternative so that only minimum information is logged initially for a deadlock, and alerting can be setup.
Also, for those of you who have read through the 2005 BOL, about deadlocking, although it states the following in the section on deadlocking:
"...The 1205 deadlock victim error records information about the threads and resources involved in a deadlock in the error log.€?
This isn't the case, unless you enable some trace flags, which as mentioned will give you a whole lot of information, which although is valuable, isn't ideal if you're wanting day to day deadlock tracking.
Does anyone have any thoughts on this? Have you struck this as well? Do you think this should be something that shouldn't have been removed from 2000?
Cheers,
Reece.

Why does it take longer and longer for the same code to run very simply I have 8,0000,000 records I want to delete from a table . I have tried a few options
Option 1 a while loop which deletes 10,000 rows per loop starting from the earliest until it hits the cut of number I have set. THIS TOOK 5 HOURS
Option 2 created an SP which found the oldest 100,000 records then deleted them. If I run this SP manually it takes 30 €“ 60 secs. Which I thought was much better than above. So I put this SP in a while loop to run 80 odd times thinking the time it would take would be 80 mins a huge improvement.
But every time this SP is called it takes longer and longer (36,30,32,39,37,37,123,163,155,182€¦and so on(In seconds)).
All the sp is doing is as follows(8860000 is just to insure I don€™t delete to much). this sp is then called from in a while loop.
set @recnumber = (select top 1 recnumber from
(select top 100000 recnumber from TabletodeleteFROM where recnumber < 8860000
order by recnumber asc ) TabletodeleteFROM
order recnumber desc)
delete TabletodeleteFROM where recnumber < @recnumber
please help why is it taking longer and longer

We are having problems printing Reports (when printing by clicking on the AcitiveX print control), where the font for the fields are set to "C39HrP24DhTt" (barcode).
While viewing the report it displays as Barcodes but while printing, the Barcode does not get printed, but the string gets printed.
Environment: SSRS 2005
Using the ReportViewer Control in a .Net 2.0 Web App to render the reports.
BarCodes print fine in the following situations:
1. When the Report is exported to Excel and when printed from there
2. When you click on the print button on Internet Explorer
3. When saving as html (from view source) and opening that html document and printing.
BarCodes do NOT get printed in the following situation:
1. When printing by clicking on the "Print" (Active X Control) icon. Even the "Print Preview" does not show the Barcode.

Hi,
I need "conditional" cascading parameters: In Report Manager when one changes parameter 1, parameter 2 get changed based on parameter 1. Optionally, one can also enter values to parameter 2 directly.
I was able to achieve this in SSRS 2000 (SP2) with the following setups. SSRS 2005 and SP1 no longer works - Parameter 2 always shows its default value regardless whether one select a value in Parameter 1 or not.
Parameter 1
available values: from query
default values: non query (specify a value "<None>")
Parameter 2
available values: Non query (no value specified)
default values: from query (based on Parameter 1)
It seems to me that the default value in SSRS 2000 is considered as cascading parameter. But it is no longer the case in SSRS 2005.
Is this a SSRS 2005 bug? is there any other work arounds or suggestions?
Thanks.

Everything was working fine. I have been able to connect using windows authentication. Then, I went into the ODBC manager to add a data source and it failed to connect so I went back into the Server management studio to modify users. After doing this I now get an error when I try to conenct the management studio to the SQL server.
I wasn't modifying the login for my windows account that I normally use, I was modifying a different one, however I now get the message "An error has occured while establishing a connection to the SQL server. This kind of problem can ocure because the default behavior of the server does not support all connection methods" blah blah.
Does anyone know how I can attach to the server? Or, do I need to somehow remove the server and create a new one? How would I do that?
Thanks in advance for any input.

I'm a developer at a medium-sized installation using ReportServer 2005. There's a problem that occurs for some users and not others. After the ReportServer 2005 report has been generated, the user clicks the Print icon. The print dialog comes up; when they click the OK button on the Print dialog, the screen goes black and their machine reboots.
We've then gone to install the latest Microsoft updates on their machine, to no avail.
After the reboot, they can print from, e.g., Microsoft Word or other applications, but they crash the OS when they print from the ReportServer 2005 report.
I know the first time you print from ReportServer, it installs some software on your machine. I don't know if the problem is related to this.
Any ideas would be appreciated.

Hello!
We just upgraded to SQL Server 2005 from SQL Server 2000. The DB was backed up using Enterprise Manager and restored with SQL Server Management Studio Express CTP. Everything went as expected (no errors, warnings, or any other indicator of problems).
The DB resides in a DB Server (Server1) and the application we are running is a Client/Server system where the AppServer resides on Server2.
During the application's operation all read, create, and delete transactions work fine but no update works. When viewing details in Trace Log I see this message after attempting any update:
Could not find server 'Server1' in sysservers. Execute sp_addlinkedserver to add the server to sysservers. (7202)
Any help is greatly appreciated,

Hi,
I'm having 2 issues on my first "real" SSRS report.
1. How to do a print preview via the preview tab. For print rendering, I have no print preview button on the preview toolbar. Is this normal? MS documention said that there is a Print Preview button. (BOL May 2007 - Designing & Creating reports -> working with report designer -> debugging and Publishing reports (Print Preview)) This report will always be rendered via the printer and it is a "pain" to have to always print it to see changes. The print layout option comes up all black with nothing viewable.
2. How do I reset page numbers back to 1 for report groups? I see no option for this. My report group requires a new page and I want page numbering to start at 1 when the grouping changes.
Note: I'm running VS2005 via Vista (with VS2005 Vista fix installed). SQL2005 SP2 also installed.
Any advice on this will be appreciated. I've spent too much time already where this should be obvious.

UPDATE #2: When it said "Do you want to install Microsoft SQL Server" I said "yes" and that caused it to work. I exited and re-ran and now the print runs w/o the "install SQL Server" (If the prompt had said "Do you want to install the print dialog" we wouldn't be having this discussion...)
UPDATE: After posting this i discovered that the same thing occurs when attempting to print the report direct from IE6: First a dialog pops up "Do you want to install this software?" Name: Microsoft SQL Server. When I click "Don't Install" I get the dialog "unable to load client print control." Since this happens direct from IE6 I suspect it's browser settings. I'll resume tomorrow and post a followup.
My WinForm C# app integrates Reporting Services by calling them from WebBrowser controls. The problem is attempts to print cause a dialog: "unable to load client print control."
I've read prior posts that say "enable Active-X in your browser" - I don't know how to do that from a WebBrowser control.
Any ideas how to support Reporting Services "Print" from within a WebBrowser control?

Hello all,
We have a Windows 2003 Web Edition server serving a site through IIS. It connects to a Windows 2003 Standard Edition server running SQL 2000 SP3a.
This site receives the following error as seen in the topic:
[DBNETLIB][ConnectionRead (recv()).]General network error. Check your network documentation.
We've configured the server network utility to only allow TCP/IP connections. The connection string for the site is as follows:
<%
' FileName="Connection_ado_conn_string.htm"
' Type="ADO"
' HTTP="false"
' Catalog=""
' Schema=""
MM_connSpankMSSQL_STRING = "Provider=sqloledb;Data Source=SERVER_IP,1433;Network Library=DBMSSOCN;Initial Catalog=ourmaindb_1;User ID=ourmaindb_1;Password=hotcookies;"
%>
Any ideas or tips on solving this issue? We've noticed it is due to larger queries as smaller ones do work with no problems.
The servers are behind a BSD box running iptables, has 1433,1434 along with standard web ports wide open. Anything outbound is allowed.
Some further testing via ODBC on the IIS server improved things. No more connection pooling for the SQL Server driver allows for 1/3 of the query to run. Still 2/3s of it doesn't show up, and that general network error message appears.
Should have 330 rows if it works right.

I am running the DTS from a computer (not the server where the DTS is stored) and it is connected without any problem when this happens.

I am working as a consultant on a project to upgrade an Access 2000 db to SQL Server. My client has bought off on everything, and they're ordering a new dedicated box this week. They're getting a rackmount machine running Windows Server and SQL Server 2005.
My expectation was that their IT people would take care of administrative & security issues such as setting the machine up, installing & starting SQL Server and configuring the proper accounts. Suprisingly though, they're going to mount the machine in the rack, turn it on and let me do all of this.
I'm new at SQL Server, but I'm comfortable working with database objects (tables, views, etc...) I'm not so comfortable with the networking or administrative side of things. It took me a couple of hours to be able to connect to the DB on my desktop machine over my home network. You can see why I'm intimidated at the prospect of getting things integrated & running on a pretty large corporate network.
Maybe I'm overblowing this, but this just gives me the willies.
Are my fears justified? Am I going to be ok if I just follow the standard procedures for allowing TCP/IP connections to the server? Am I going to have to deal with firewalls? (I think I know the answer - "it depends on their network.." - that's what I'm scared of.. I don't know anything about their network, and I don't know enough about networking in general to figure things out..)
Are there any other best practices that I should follow for a fresh install?

I have recently upgraded my databases from SQL 2000 to 2005. In 2000, I could set the network affinity so that sql server was only accessible from one of the two network cards. I cannot find how to do this in sql 2005. Is there a way?
In my installation, I have two network cards in each server. The "A" network adapter connects to the "A" hub, and the "B" adapter connected to the "B" hub. Traffic on trhe "B" hub is my private, non-routable network, This is where I want the SQL Server traffic to run. The A hub traffic is the public network. This gives me the ability to isolate SQL Server from the outside world.

Hi,
I need to find out whether SQL Server client components are installed on a machine through my application.
For that I was expecting "SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server\90" registry key. BUT If I install just native client drivers, this key is not getting created.
What could be another approch to determine whether system has required client components.
Also I need to list all the SQL Server 2005 servers available in the network. (Similar to the Servers combo box being populated while DSN creation in ODBC Admin tool). There are several approches.
1) Use NetServerEnum API
2) Use SQLBrowseConnect ODBC API
3) Use SQLDMO Object
4) OSQL utility.
Which one I should use VC++ (2005)?
Thanks in advance,
Mac
