SQL Server/Windows 2003 Mapped Drive Limit.
May 22, 2006
I am setting up 4 Windows 2003 server with SQL server 2005 .
I am using a new SAN device and I am setting up over 37 separate devices.
Three of the machines will be the production machines. The fourth machine will
contains log shipped copies of 37 databases.
I would like to keep each the 37 databases on its own device on the new SAN device.
The problem that I am running into is that I can only map drives up to the letter Z .
Is it possible to map more than 26 drives on a Windows 2003 server ?

Hi
I have been trying to use openrowset with a shared drive, and even though the share has "full control" permissions granted to "everyone" and the accout that SQL runs under has been granted explicit full control permissions I am unable to open the file which itself has no security on it.
Can I not use a \ path and only use mapped drives?
Thanks
below works...
SELECT * FROM OPENROWSET('Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0','Excel 8.0;Database=C:5People.xls', [Sheet1$])
below doesn't work...
SELECT * FROM OPENROWSET('Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0','Excel 8.0;Database=\cluster02FileManager5People.xls', [Sheet1$])

Hi,
I have a rather odd problem that hopefully you'll be able to shed some light on.
We want to back up the databases to a hard drive held on another server so I mapped the drive in explorer to the drive then went into Enterprise manager and tried to create a backup device and it won't see the mapped drive.
I've tried mapping to my PC and I can see that via enterprise managers backup stuff (infact any PC in the office works) but it won't see any of the servers even though we can map to them and access them via windows explorer.
I've tried when logged on via sa and the windows NT administrator and still no luck. In fact no matter what I type or do it fails and keeps telling me device error or device off line which it isn't.
On our test instance of SQL Sever we can backup to other servers but not the new live version!
Any thoughts on what might cause this to happen and how to fix it?
Help much appriciated.
Thanks Helen

Although clearly not best practice for a produciton DB, is it supported to attach MDF/LDF files that are hosted on a network drive?
I have been exploring options to host a read only archive database that we need to access on a very short term adhoc basis.

I'm trying to create a job that will copy a backup file from a mapped network drive to a local folder however it keeps failing due to a privilege.
The command is:
copy 10.10.10.5f$ est.nightly H:MSSQLBackup est.nightly
I can run the command successfully from the command prompt, however using the same command in a SQL Server job it fails with "Access is denied".
How do I configure the mapped network drive to allow the Sql Server Agent to get access to it?

I created a DTS local package on the SQL Server. It's basically importing a text file into a table in my database. This file resides in a mapped drive (X:) from another server. When I schedule the DTS as a job, it fails. It doesn't execute any of the workflow in the design.
However, when I copy the text file into a drive local to the SQL server (D:), it runs flawlessly.
What I do right now is I have a windows scheduled task that runs a batch file that copies the text file from X: to D: at certain time intervals. Then the job scheduler runs to import it.
What am I missing? How come the job scheduler can't read the file directly from the mapped drive?
Any info would be appreciated. TIA

Hey guys
I am having a problem with a DTS package that pulls from a flat file off a mapped drive. When the package is ran alone, it runs perfectly but the stored proc that I took from an example from the net will not execute the DTS properly and I am unsure as to why it will not do so.
CREATE PROC spExecuteDTS
@Server varchar(255),
@PkgName varchar(255), -- Package Name (Defaults to most recent version)
@ServerPWD varchar(255) = Null,-- Server Password if using SQL Security to load Package (UID is SUSER_NAME())
@IntSecurity bit = 0,-- 0 = SQL Server Security, 1 = Integrated Security
@PkgPWD varchar(255) = ''-- Package Password
AS
SET NOCOUNT ON
/*
Return Values
- 0 Successfull execution of Package
- 1 OLE Error
- 9 Failure of Package
*/
DECLARE @hr int, @ret int, @oPKG int, @Cmd varchar(1000)
-- Create a Pkg Object
EXEC @hr = sp_OACreate 'DTS.Package', @oPKG OUTPUT
IF @hr <> 0
BEGIN
PRINT '*** Create Package object failed'
EXEC sp_displayoaerrorinfo @oPKG, @hr
RETURN 1
END
-- Evaluate Security and Build LoadFromSQLServer Statement
IF @IntSecurity = 0
SET @Cmd = 'LoadFromSQLServer("' + @Server +'", "' + SUSER_SNAME() + '", "' + @ServerPWD + '", 0, "' + @PkgPWD + '", , , "' + @PkgName + '")'
ELSE
SET @Cmd = 'LoadFromSQLServer("' + @Server +'", "", "", 256, "' + @PkgPWD + '", , , "' + @PkgName + '")'
EXEC @hr = sp_OAMethod @oPKG, @Cmd, NULL
IF @hr <> 0
BEGIN
PRINT '*** LoadFromSQLServer failed'
EXEC sp_displayoaerrorinfo @oPKG , @hr
RETURN 1
END
-- Execute Pkg
EXEC @hr = sp_OAMethod @oPKG, 'Execute'
IF @hr <> 0
BEGIN
PRINT '*** Execute failed'
EXEC sp_displayoaerrorinfo @oPKG , @hr
RETURN 1
END
-- Check Pkg Errors
EXEC @ret=spDisplayPkgErrors @oPKG
-- Unitialize the Pkg
EXEC @hr = sp_OAMethod @oPKG, 'UnInitialize'
IF @hr <> 0
BEGIN
PRINT '*** UnInitialize failed'
EXEC sp_displayoaerrorinfo @oPKG , @hr
RETURN 1
END
-- Clean Up
EXEC @hr = sp_OADestroy @oPKG
IF @hr <> 0
BEGIN
EXEC sp_displayoaerrorinfo @oPKG , @hr
RETURN 1
END
RETURN @ret
GO
that is the stored proc that i am using along with a couple error trapping ones but this being the one that does the actual execution. Is there anything i can change about this in order for it to run the DTS properly from the mapped drive?
thank you

From my workstation (with SQL Server 7 Desktop Edition SP3), I seem unable to restore a database on my Server (SQL Server Standard Edition SP3). I am logged into both machines, and I am an Administrator on both machines. Using either a UNC or Mapped Drive (see below)
RESTORE DATABASE ogAEC FROM ogAECDump WITH REPLACE , RECOVERY , STATS
, MOVE 'AEC_Data' TO 'Og-sqlsrvrC-DriveMSSQL7DataogAEC_Data.MDF'
, MOVE 'AEC_Log' TO 'Og-sqlsrvrC-DriveMSSQL7DataogAEC_Log.LDF'
RESTORE DATABASE ogAEC FROM ogAECDump WITH REPLACE , RECOVERY , STATS
, MOVE 'AEC_Data' TO 'Q:MSSQL7DataogAEC_Data.MDF'
, MOVE 'AEC_Log' TO 'Q:MSSQL7DataogAEC_Log.LDF'
I get
Server: Msg 3156, Level 16, State 2, Line 1
The file 'Og-sqlsrvrC-DriveMSSQL7DataogAEC_Data.MDF' cannot be used by RESTORE. Consider using the WITH MOVE option to identify a valid location for the file.
But I am successful if I run the essentially command locally from the server:
RESTORE DATABASE ogAEC FROM ogAECDump WITH REPLACE , RECOVERY , STATS
, MOVE 'AEC_Data' TO 'C:MSSQL7DataogAEC_Data.MDF'
, MOVE 'AEC_Log' TO 'C:MSSQL7DataogAEC_Log.LDF'
What can I do to be able to restore DBs from my workstation?

Hi,all.
I tried to issue:
sp_attach_db pubs,'F:anthonypubs.mdf','F:anthonypubs.ldf'
where the pubs.mdf and pubs.ldf are on a remote mapped drive F:,
I got error:
Server: Msg 5105, Level 16, State 4, Line 1
Device activation error. The physical file name 'f:anthonypubs.ldf' may
be incorrect.
Is attaching a database ONLY supported for local servers ??
What about creating database on remote drive? (I have same error msg back)
Thx
Anthony

Is there a form of ALTER USER or other option that would allow me to change the Windows-based login associated with a user account?
According to BOL, I cannot use the sp_change_users_login trick since I want to rewire up to a Windows login, not a SQL Server login.

Hi
I have VC++ express and MSSQL SMS express and have an application working nicely locally. The Data explorer and data connections part works really easily.
Now, I want to make the application available to my home network.
I mapped the drive where the database is and called it Z: so I could put my "release" on my other network PC and assumed it would find Z: if I mapped the shared network drive on that machine and called it Z:
But: I can't even add the mapped connection on the local machine, I get:
The file "Z:databasescalorie.mdf" is on a network path not supported for database files. An attempt to attach.....etc"
It works fine on the original F drive.......
Am I approaching this the wrong way. How should I distribute to network PCs?
thanks hopefully
David

Hello, pls Some of my factory guys can log on the same user name at the same time, so I want a situation where a user name may be able to log on, one at a time.

We have purchased Windows 2003 Small Business Edition Premium.
Our company uses Analysis Manager / Analysis Services and also MDX functions. However Release2 only appears to have SQL 2005 Workgroup edition with it and these features do not seem to be present.
Does anybody know how I upgrade to get these functions? I don’t know if these functions can be downloaded or whether we have to upgrade by purchasing SQL Server Standard 2005 edition outright?
Thanks, Stephen.

Hi,I am unable to connect to a database in my SQL 2000 Server installed ona Windows 2003 Server machine from an asp page. It gives the thefollowing error:Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server (0x80004005)Login failed for user 'sa'. Reason: Not associated with a trusted SQLServer connection.I also sometimes get:MSDataShape (0x80004005)Data provider could not be initialized.I can connect with the same connection string and parameters from avisual basic 6 application.I can also connect the web client with the same DB in SQL 2000 runningon Windows 2000/XP.The authentication mode is mixed.I believe it is something to do with security.

I have been searching the net and haven't found anything that has worked so far for resolving this issue, hopefully someone on here can provide some insight?
I did a fresh install of a Windows 2003 Standard Edition server (as part of a workgroup, not a domain..the server is only temporary for testing) and installed MSDE 2000A (the version that contains all current service packs). I can use the MSDE server locally on the server without any issue...however when I try to connect to MSDE with a workstation, it tells me that Access is denied or the Server does not exist.
The ICF is disabled, and all passowrds being entered have been checked, however I still can not connect to the sql server. Does anyone have any ideas on this or run into this problem before?

Set up - windows server 2003 - SQL server 2000 + tools installed
Not sure why its happening but recently when running some scripts onto one of the databases held on the server windows crashes.
I say crashes - it is non responsive but the mouse cursor can be moved.
these scripts are not being run from the server but from one of many machines on our companies network.
Any suggestions would be great

At first I thought it was just me, but has anyone else noticed that SQL 2005 suffers a performance hit when you install Windows Server 2003 SP2?
Since SP2, memory and hard drive usage has gone through the roof on a number of servers I use. It may just be coincidence... but it seems unlikely.

I am following the MCTS Self-Paced Training Kit for Exam 70-431 (implementation and maintenance of sql server 2005) and one of the prerequisites is that I have Microsoft Windows Server 2003 running on my computer on an NTFS file system (NTFS) partition. Now am I right in thinking Windows Server 2003 is an operating system. If it is can I install it alongside XP Professional which I am currently running. I am currently afraid to go ahead with the installation as I am worried it will overwrite XP, which would be disastrous as I have a great deal of data on it.
Thanks

I have SQL Server 2000 running on Windows 2003 Server. I have Windows 2000 Server running IIS. I am trying to connect my asp running on 2000 to my SQL Server running on 2003, but I run into the problem when I have to machines connecting to the database. The first machine works, but the second machine comes up with the page is not found. When the first machine is done with getting the data, I am able to refresh on the second machine and it works. Some reason it is only allowing one connection at a time on the same database. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Wondering if there is a different way to setup mail because of Windows Server 2003 instead of Windows Server 2000? The server I'm being asked to get mail working on will have an exchange email account and I'm not familiar with setting this up. On my 2000 machine I had to use Outlook 2000 with option for Corporate or Workgroup an a POP email account. Any help is appreciated.

Hi,
I've noticed declining performance on our main accounting server. We have a Windows 2003 server running SQL 2000 Enterprise and 8 GBs of RAM.
Has anyone used the "boost SQL Server priority on windows" before? If so, were there any major benefits in using it?
This server is excusively used for SQL btw...
Thanks,
DJ
