Sql Server 2005 Machine Lockup/freeze Up
Mar 25, 2008
Our HP Proliant ML 330 G5 (3.0 Duo Core Xeon, 4 GBs RAM) server is running Windows 2003 R2 Standard 32 bit ( Win SP2) and SQL Server 2005 Standard (SQL SP2 €“ version 9.00.3054.00(Intel X86)). At random times every 1-14 days, our server will lock up. While the Windows Login screen or the standard Windows screen saver is viewable on the server still, the computer becomes completely non-responsive. The keyboard and mouse do not work and we can no longer connect to the server via a Terminal Service connection. We are able to ping the server while it is locked up though. The only way to get the server back up and running is by doing a hard power down and then power it back up.
Upon getting the server back up and running, everything goes back to working as normal with both Windows and SQL. There is nothing in any of the event logs indicating any type of issue prior to the server locking up. We are really at a loss on where to start troubleshooting this. We have no reason to think it is a hardware issue at this point but are not ruling that out.
Any ideas what we can do to start tracking down the cause of this problem?

Someone stumped me with a question the other day. And I was wanting to know if my answer was accurate.
They were worried about locking up SQLServer with too many queries when accessing it through a web page.
I haven't actually had this problem with any of the stuff I have done. And I never had it happen way back when I was just doing database stuff either.
I suppose this happens when a query is run that the stored procedure conflict and end up getting locked up because neither query can finish their process until the other lets the tables go. So one way to avoid this is to make sure dangerous queries are never done through the web interface. Right can do but
and the other thing I was wondering about it how they balance queries on the server. I know about testing the equipment to find out which queries work the best and how to create a good normalized database you know good structure etc. (is this why I never had this problem or is it more because I did have a ton of different people accessing the data all at once -- but if they are accessing it in a controlled fashion then whats the worry right?)
Since I don't know how to cause this exactly-- I don't know how to prevent it.
Any clues?

Can anyone help me solve why my server is locking up.
We're running sql server 2005 ent on a 2 cpu dual core server. With 3gig. Once each the last couple weeks, the machine has hung and the only thing I can find that's suspicious is on the sql server log. It's below. After the excerpt is about 50 more different memory errors. As far as I know there's no ssl configured for log in, it mostly uses private lan cards for security between it and the web/application server.

Hi all,Have a situation that my company has never run across before. Clientis running NT4 for the domain server, using terminal services 2000 andrunning an application with a SQL Server backend and they areexperiencing locking problems. Once one person gets locked out theneveryone trying to access that tables is also locked out as a result.It is not specific to a certain User, or module within theapplication. It's not a specific time of the day (like when a backupwould be running) and sometimes it's in the middle of the night whenthere are actually less Users on the system.We have 500 customers using this application. Most are using SQLServer backend, alot of the newer customers are using TerminalServices, and the number of Users is not accessive as compared to ourother customers. THe only difference is that I do not specificallyknow of another client with an NT4 Domain server in the mix.We actually switched to SQL Server as the recommended back end due tolocking issues using SQLBase because SQL Server is row locking andSQLBase is page locking. Since making this change we have stoppedseeing the locking for years until now. Is this a SQLServer issue orissue with the NT Domain server?Anyone have any ideas???ThanksA

Hi Guys,
I was wondering if there was any white papers on the migration part from microsoft?
Apparently the situation is like this
Currently installed MOSS 2007 in a testing pc as application server. This application server will refer another testing database server which running SQL Server 2005.
Now, wanted to move this 2 temporary server into another 2 new servers.
Correct me if I'm wrong, it cannot be done by using image like Norton Ghost due to difference hardware spec.
So, if I install another fresh copy of MOSS2007 & SQL server 2005 in that 2 new servers, how can I migrate the contents, documents, etc from the testing database server?
It would be great if someone can show me the links to kb article. Thanks

I have first installed SQL Server 2005 and after that SQL Express 2005. In machine.config I set the LocalSqlServer, needed for membership and stuff, to my SQL Server (using aspnet_regsql.exe tool). But because I saw some interesting articles with sample code that use .mdf files I also installed SQL Express.But the problem is that every time I want to execute something against .mdf file or want to see the tables in server explorer I get this error message:Failed to generate a user instance of SQL Server due to a failure in starting the process for the user instance. The connection will be closed.I also stopped SQL Server process but that didn't do the trick. What do I have to do to get these 2 working on my laptop?

Hi Samuel,
I'd like to draw on your expertise on this topic. I've been browsing at many blogs/forums about installing SQL Server 2000 and 2005 on the same machine.
What I'd like to know is how does that work with Reporting Services? Your machine's IIS will need to work with Reporting Services 2000 and Reporting Services 2005. The RS 2005 requires .NET Framework 2.0 and RS 2000 requires .NET Framework 1.1. IIS can only support 1 version of the .NET Framework at a time.
Thanks kindly.

Trying to set up a syn connection with my ipaq travel companion but
it syncs to sql server instead of to outlook.
If I uninstall sql server 2005, will it be missed by any other processes, etc.
on Vista and have it again do something ugly.
Thanks,

I've got to install sql server 2000 and 2005 on our test computer (sql server 2000 is already installed). I've heard from the grapevine that trying to install 2005 with 2000 already installed can cause problems, and its difficult for sql 2000 and 2005 to co-exist on the same machine.
what are these problems and how can I avoid them?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
I need help finding a good back up solution for SQL Server 2005. I am hosting several databases in a shared environment and do not have admin rights to detach & copy & reattach the database file. I can have the hoster back up the file, but that is a manual process and I have had other issues with it in the past (access rights, cost, etc.). I have also tried creating a new business intelligence project, but have found it difficult to do a complete exact copy (while maintaining primary key values) as I run into many concurrency violations. This is especially true in databases that use the standard asp.net membership services tables.
Is there a way to get an exact duplicate of the structure & data of a sql server 2005 database without having to create a new Business Intelligence Project? Or is there an easy way to do this within BI that doesn't require a table-by-table setup? The primary purpose of this backup for me is for use on my development machine. Backup for data security/recovery is handled by the ISP.
Thanks in advance for your help!

I'm trying to connect to a sql server machine from another machine on the network and I'm getting this error:
"An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server. When connecting to SQL Server 2005, this failure may be caused by the fact that under the default settings SQL Server does not allow remote connections. (provider: Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 - Could not open a connection to SQL Server)"
More information about the machines:
All machines are on the same private netwrok, all in the same workgroup.
Machine1: this is the DB server, Win 2003 server, it has SQL 2005 developer edition, .Net runtime 2.0.
Machine2: trying to connect to machine 1, Win 2003 server, .Net runtime 2.0
On the DB server, TCP/IP is enabled with port 1433, also named pipes are enabled.
I checked the ERRORLOG and it says it's ready for connections and it's listening...Also there are no firewalls between the machines, I also added the sql server service .exe and the sql explorere .exe to the windows firewall exceptions on the DB server (although it's disabled)...
I'm not sure what else to do, I checked all sources online, applied anything related to this issue but not luck. This has wasted 3 hours of my time, this was a task that wouldn't take you a minute in older versions!! , Microsoft thinks it's making our life easier but in fact, I spend more time now on trouble shooting than before...
Let me know if you have a solution..
thanks,
Tamer

Can I install SQL Server 2005 Express Edition on the same server where I already have SQL Server 2000 Enterprise Edition?
Doing this also includes replacing .Net Framework 1.1 with 2.0, could that cause any disturbances to the already existing SQL Server 2000 ?
(None of these two databases are heavy production databases)

Hi,
At present there is no windows server machine in the company.
I would like to install sql server 2005 standard edition on a windows xp pro machine.
1)
Can this sql server 2005 standard edition on xp pro be our main central sql server 2005 which holds all databases and instances in the company where other machines can connect to?
2)
The idea is that in the future when the windows server machine has arrived, I will then install sql server 2005 edition on that windows server machine and move the existing databases from the the current central xp pro machine to it.
3)
IS it best to instal standard edition on windows server only?
Thanks

Hi All,
I have an SQL Server 2005 Standard Edition installed. My machine has a Windows Vista Ultimate 32-bit and Visual Studio 2008.
My application is already working with Sql Server Standard Edition but I need to test it with SQL Express 2005.
If I install SQL Server Express 2005 in the same machine will it cause any damage to my Standard Edition already installed ????
That is can I install both SQL Server Express 2005 and Standard in the same machine ????
How can I address the different instances of SQL Server ????
Thanks in advance

I know there have been many posts made on this subject; however, despite the resources available, I have not been able to get this to work! I've spent time working on this here and there over the last couple of months only resulting in frustration. I am finally posting to solicit help for my situation to figure out what is wrong with my SQL Server or firewall configuration.
Two machines connected to a router, one wireless, one wired. Both have SQL Server Express and the Management Studio tools installed. From either machine I can connect to its local SQL Server Express instance.
I have enabled Shared Memory, Named Pipes, TCP/IP, and VIA in the SQL Server Configuration Manager. (BTW what is VIA?)
I have added sqlsrvr.exe and sqlbrowser.exe to my Windows Firewall exceptions. I have tried disabling Windows Firewall. One of the machines is configured as DMZ in the router configuration.
Please, someone offer up some brilliant diagnostic steps I am missing to expose what is wrong in my setup and make this work... Thank you!

Hi
I have a PC running the 64 bit version of vista home premium (will be soon upgrading to ultimate).
On the download page http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-au/express/bb410792.aspx for SQL Server Express under the section entitled SQL Server 2005 Express Edition SP2 it mentions at the bottom of the page (referred by * & **) that there is a 64 bit install version available for both SQL Server & management Studio.
However, under the section entitled SQL Server 2005 Express Edition with Advanced Services SP2, there is no * or **. As far as I can tell, the Advanced services has Reporting Services as well.
So, what I am wondering is, can I specifically download the 64 bit versions of SQL server express & management studio and as well, download just the reporting services part of Advanced Services?
Kind regards
Ross

When doing the service pack 1 install on a client side the machine is locking up on a specific file. The tech who tried it out doesn't remember the exact file name but he thinks it ended with an .msb or .msp
I checked in the C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL Server90Setup BootstrapLOGFiles directory and none of the files have been updated.
Thoughts?
