I have SQL Server 7.0 installed on a shared disk resource in a cluster group. I am wanting to use Outlook 98 ( 97 or 2000 will also be fine if it matters) for the mail profile. Do I install Outlook on the local server drive and reference that in SQL Mail or do I install Outlook on the shared resource drive and reference it there? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

Can we set up mail on SQL server cluster?How do we do?
Thanks!
I can't seem to get SQL Mail to work with NT Cluster Server. I have looked at everything I could find on SQL Mail, and everything I could find on NT Clustering, but no where have I found how to configure them to work together. I am just not seeing anything.
Would someone be so kind as to throw some hints, tips, or tricks my way?
Please forgive me if I missed something obvious.
Thanks in advance,

Has anybody had any luck getting SQL Mail in SQL Server 2000 to work on a MS Cluster (2-node Active-Active cluster)? If so, can you please offer any suggestions.
Thanks
I tried installing SQL Mail but it didnt work.
What happened was, when I was entering the SQLMail profile for an Exchange User name. It took those values. Now when we ran/initialize SQLMail service, the Cluster Services kept rebooting/re-initializing all the services. Therefore, system crash and will not provide any services any longer.
We tried resolving it by running the SQL services in node 2 and we got MSSQLServer v6.5 service running but the SQLExecutive service
will not start.
I tried to reset the permissions on the services and have
that SQLExecutive run on the NT Administrator account.
After reading a few technotes from MS and applying them.
None seem to have worked so far. Here are some of the technotes:
Q195761
Q158585
Q155697
Q155283
(1) How can we fix the SQLExecutive so it will autostart with bringing down the cluster
(2) What can we do to successfully run SQL mail on the cluster server with this all the variables in this situation.
I have sql 2000 sp4 running on a cluster, we had to fail over to other cluster, and now the sql agent choice to use a mail profile is grayed out. I can go to sql mail and test the profile and it works, but I can't change it for the sql agent? Anyone seen this before

I posted a question yesterday (http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=1717961&SiteID=1) that was very specific concerning problems running WCF inside SQL. I guess its quite unlikely that anyone will have had the same problem so I'd like to ask a more general question.
What is it that is different about running a .Net method contained in an UNSAFE assembly inside SQL than running it from a console application or mstest?
One difference is the identity (typically NT Authority/System) but I've discounted that by temporarily running SQLSvr under my interaction administrator account.
One gets a lot of warnings when importing system assemblies into SQL about them not being tested but is there much different about the execution environment.
I guess one difference is the assembly loading subsystem - not fusion in SQL's case. One can't access assemblies in the GAC or in probing paths. Any other differences that might give me a clue as to why I can't get my WCF channel to work?
Any help gratefully received,
David.
Hi all, I think I have the right group, if I don't then I doapologize.My problem is that I'm trying to run a SQL script within a VBEnvironment. The actual program is WISE Installer, but I'm sure thatthe same problem arise within VB because we have also wrote an appthat is meant to run SQL scripts (But falls over the same). Basically,there are some SQL keywords that are Query Analyser only.. ie: GODoes anyone know of a list of Query only statements? The code belowfails, but since it's not as verbose as Query, all I'm getting is'INCORRECT SYNTAX NEAR THE KEYWORD "PROCEDURE". Here's what's aroundit:^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ More stuff aboveSET ANSI_NULLS OFFCREATE PROCEDURE ASP_OutstandingStaffingRequirements@stDate as datetime, @enDate as datetime, @locId as integer,@gradeCount as IntegerASCreate Table #glb_outshifts^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ More stuff below.Any help would be great as I'm banging my head against the wall here.BTW.. I don't actually know what the SQL script does, I'm just tryingto package together a deployment solution.Many Many Thanks. Regards Mark (SQL GURU.. LOL)

The data may end up being several 100 MB of user settings, text etc (blog type stuff). If the DB gets to be several 100MB, then does making a backup and ftping it offsite sound reasonable ? Does ftp bandwidth usually count against your overall bandwidth usage ?

Hello,
I have been made the point person for our migration to SQL2005. We are a law firm with approximately 750 users. The first SQL environment we will be upgrading is our document management system (DMS). This is an intensive SQL product. After this migration we will more of to our finical system, records system and then all home grown databases.
What we would like to do is consolidate servers and scale out the new SQL environment to a farm. After some initial research it does not look like we will be able to scale out, since the data in the DMS is always changing.
Does anyone have some advice or guidance on what direction we should be looking? I have done tons a online searches and can find out information on everything to do with SQL, except this.
Thanks in advance,

View 1 Replies View RelatedI used 3 seperate web.config files - one for Development seerver, one for Certification server, and one for Production server. The only difference between these three is the within the <connectionStrings> tags.
For Example:
<connectionStrings><add name="strConn" connectionString="server=xxx;uid=xxxx;pwd=xxxxx;database=yyy;"/></connectionStrings>
Within Development the connectionString points to the Development SQL server, Cert to cert SQL, and Prod to Prod SQL. I do not have permissions to copy new Web.Config files into Cert or Prod, so when I have a change within my web.config I have to have another group manually add these files.
Is there a way to identify the domain I am curernt within and use a specific set of connections string within the web.config based off this information. If so, can anyone post an example of how to do this...
hi,
i have installed SQLEXPRESS (SQL Server 9.0.3042) on my windows ultimate laptop. of late am facing this issue of database. this database is from SQl 7.0 Desktop edition(the one that i use in my office machine with Xp SP2). As such it works fine in SQL 2000 server after attachment (for test).
i have run SQLEXPRESS as administrator to make/attach new database. i can attach the database easily and can even view tables and other stuffs inside database in administrator mode. the issue pops up when i run SQLEXPRESS in normal mode. when i try to open and view the same DB's content, error pops up stating
"The database XXX is not accessible. (Micorosoft.sqlserver.express.objectExplorer)"
i cannot access this DB via VB 6 form as it dosnt show up at all in database list when tried to connect via ADODC.
i want to make this DB accessibility as normal operation, not previliged only to administrator as application run on normal mode only.
the issue dosnt arise when i locally make a new database as it can be accessed when run in normal mode also. why does this happen to database that is attached and not to ones locally made.
pls guide me as i usually do my works at home and making whole database again will surely take lots of pain. why not it just attach then start working, not asking for preveliged mode.
thanks in adv

I believe it is possible to restore databases from Enterprise edition to an enviroment with Standard edition. We have been able to do it on databases without any partitioned tables. But if a database has partitioned tables it will not start up in the Standard edition after a successful restore. The error log states that the database will not start because partitions are not allowed in Standard edition (which we knew). But we were led to believe that the databases would restore and open fine, the partitions would just not be there in Standard edition. Are we possibly doing something wrong or will this just not work?
Thanks

During the installation of Adding node to a SQL Server failover cluster(On passive node) getting error like.. The MOF compiler could not connect with the WMI server. This is either because of a semantic error such as an incompatibility with the existing WMI repository or an actual error such as the failure of the WMI server to start.We run the below commands but didn’t get any resolution & got the same above error .
1<sup>st</sup> Method…
1. Open console command (Run->CMD with administrator privileges).
2. net stop winmgmt
3. Rename folder %windir%System32WbemRepository to other one, for backup purposes (for example _Repository).
4. net start winmgmt
2<sup>nd</sup> Method..
1. Disable and stop the WMI service.
a) Command : - sc config winmgmt start= disabled
b. Command : - net stop winmgmt

What step am I missing?
I ran the Advanced cluster preparation for a new sql instance on an existing cluster.
Slq Server 2012.
After is completed, it was successful, I realized I specified the wrong Instance Root directory.
Is it possible to remove what the preparation installed? Or is it possible to change the root directory?
Can I build a cluster by adding the cluster service, then the SQL instances, then add the other nodes and their passive SQL instances?I would lean to building the cluster first, the add the SQL instances.

Hi Everyone,
Hopefully someone out there will have an idea as this is driving me nuts.
I've setup a task to email on success/failure and keep receiving the following message when executed:
Progress: The SendMail task is initiated. - 0 percent complete
[Send Mail Task] Error: An error occurred with the following error message: "Failure sending mail.".
Progress: The SendMail task is completed. - 100 percent complete
Task Send Mail Task failed
When I configure Outlook Express on the same machine with the same settings it works.
On the SMTP Connection Manager I have left the default name, tested with both an IP address and Server Name, and no authentication or SSL.
On the Send Mail Task, it uses the above connection. The To: , From: , Subject fields are populated. Message SourceType is DirectInput, MessageSource is Test, Priority is Normal and no attachments or expressions etc.
Nothing useful is logged in the Event Viewer even with full logging turned on.
Any suggestions appreciated,
Thanks.

Hello,
The Database Mail feature is already enabled on the server, also I have a mail account on the other server.
The problem I faced is that I need to send mail from my SQL Server using a created email account on the other server. How should I configure my email to do that ?
Should I use a sysmail_add_account procedure to enable account, also set profile and profile account ? Does this way creates server mail account that is binded with other email account?
The mail should be sent from my SQL Server.
Thank You.
