Hi, I've downloaded the SP3a for sql server from the microsoft website. I unpackaged the files into a folder and ran the file setup.bat. I recieved an error that setupsql.exe file was not found. I think theres a folder missing called Setup under the X86 folder. Is there a way I can fix this????????

Hi,
We just upgraded 2 sql servers from sql server 2000 sp3a to sql server 2005 build 2153, and merge rep exists between these 2 servers.
However, after sql server upgrade, we had to reinitialize merge replication and now the merge agent is reporting 2 errors
1)

looking inside the sp_MSensure_single_instance stored procedure, it's trying to obtain an exclusive lock on resource 'Merge Agent Name' but fails and returns -1
this is the stored procedure executed by sp_MSensure_single_instance and @retcode = -1 and thus cannot obtain exclusive lock on resource
EXEC @retcode = sys.sp_getapplock @Resource = 'Merge Agent Name',
@LockMode = 'Exclusive',
@LockOwner = 'Session',
@LockTimeout = 0,
@DbPrincipal = 'MSmerge_PAL_role'
so i think it's failing because for some reason MSmerge_PAL_role database role does not have enough rights to obtain exclusive lock on necessary resources
i've tried many things to fix this, including scripting out and dropping all merge rep, turning off replication db option and reapplying replication create scripts on the server, and even manually deleting the MSmerge_PAL_role database role but still doesn't work
can anyone help?
Thanks

Here's my situation:I have an ODBC DSN setup for Timberline Data (An accounting packagethat uses pervasive.sql) on my sql box. I set up a linked server usingthe supplied timberline odbc driver. I have two sql instances setup,the default instance and a named instance. On the default instance,the linked server works great no matter who is logged in using it (allauthentication is NT integrated). However on the named instance onlythe NT account that the MSSqlserver$NAMED service is logged in undercan utilize the linked server. All others get a ODBC error:"error 7399: OLE DB Provider 'MSDASQL' reported an error. AccessDenied. OLE DB error trace [OLE/DB Provider 'MSDASQL'IUnknown::QueryInterface returned 0x80070005: Access Denied.]."Far as i can tell, both instances are setup the same, except that oneis the default and one is a named instance.Why the different results for the default instance vs a named instance.Any ideas?Thanks

Does anyone know of a SQL statement that will let me know if I have SP3A??
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
I am getting an error when installing SP3a of MSDE. I get the error message "The instance name specified is invalid." This is the first SQL database installed, so there is no instance name. I have tried "default" and "MSSQLSERVER" as instance names without success.

Sql Server 2000
A few days ago we upgraded our servers and tablet pc's with sql server sp3a. At the same time we also changed the publisher and it now uses a static filter to reduce the number of records in the tablet database. Since we have done this we have been getting an error message when we try to synchronize via the windows synchronization manager on our tablet pc's. The error message is "mobsync.exe has generated errors and will be closed by windows. You will need to restart the program. I looked up the error message and it is a stack overflow. This does not happen every time but about 50% of the time. We can always sync from within enterprise manager and everything works fine every time.
If any one has any ideas I would greatly appreciate it and thank you in advance.

Thank you.
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.

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"??

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.

If this is the case, can someone tell me where to get the sql scripts

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

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.

Recently when i try to upgrade my current MSDE 2000 (SP3a) to SP4, the system just keep on failing me. Here is the scenario:
1. Download the MSDE2000 SP4 from microsoft
2. Extract the SP4
3. Run the following command in either the command prompt or via a batch file:
echo off
echo "Start to Upgrade MSDE SP4 ... "
setup.exe /UPGRADESP SQLRUN INSTANCENAME=JSNG SECURITYMODE=SQL UPGRADEUSER=sa UPGRADEPWD=Th3B3st /L*v c:MSDE_Log.log
echo "SP4 Upgrade Process completed!"
4. Once the above batch file was runned, the standard SQL configuration screen (gathering information) will be triggered.
5. However after a while the installation will just stopped.
6. When i checked on the log, i have found out that the failure of installation is due to the system has failed to configure the server. PFB for the last few rows of the verbose log:
=== Logging stopped: 8/22/2006 17:36:49 ===

=== Verbose logging stopped: 8/22/2006 17:36:49 ===
7. When i check the MSI Installer Event ID at Microsoft site, it just said that this is the server configuration problem and i cant find any solution.
Any forumers here experience the above before? Mind to share some thoughts?
FYI, my current MSDE configuration is as follow:
- MSDE 2000 Release A (SP3a - 8.00.760)
- Installed Instance = JSNG
Thanks.
