Hello,
I have a quick question about automating installation of SQL 2005. This question doesn't relate as much to SQL 2005 as it does setting up a database server.
I know that it's usually standard practice to allow SQL to "lock pages in memory". What I am trying to do is find a command line utility that will allow me to add this step to the SQL install script. Any help is appreciated. Thank you.
With Vista Ultimate (release), I installed SQL server 2005 Developer edition. I installed SP1, apparently successfully. But my Windows update history shows the SP being installed successfully every night. I have automatic updating turned on (via AD policy).
Has anyone seen this, and does anyone know how to fix it?
Thanks in advance.
Peter
When I installed VS 2005, it installed the default version of SQL Server 2005 Express that ships with Visual Studio 2005 installer media.
How can apply SQL Server 2005 Express SP1 to update this existing instance?
Currently, if I run this query:
SELECT @@version
I get the following:
Microsoft SQL Server 2005 - 9.00.1399.06 (Intel X86) Oct 14 2005 00:33:37 Copyright (c) 1988-2005 Microsoft Corporation Express Edition on Windows NT 5.1 (Build 2600: Service Pack 2)
After applying SP1, I should get 9.00.2047.00.
Should I just go to this link and download & install the SQL Server 2005 Express Edition SP1:

Thank you,

Hello all,
I am intsalling SQL 2005 in an activepassive cluster. The OS is Windows 2003 with SP1. Everything installs OK but the sql server service cannot start afterwards. There are many access errors in the Security Event log - see example below - and numerous "SSPI handshake failed with error code 0x8009030c while establishing a connection with integrated security; the connection has been closed. " errors in both the SQL and Application event logs. I have tried installing SQL in both mixed mode and under Windows Authentication and get the same errors. I can install SQL 2005 outside of the cluster on both nodes. Other items of note: This was a SQL 2000 cluster. I uninstalled SQL 2K, the virtual name was changed (IP remained the same) and the DNS entry was updated to reflect the new name. Early in the installation process - 3 or 4 days ago - I got a few errors about the Server Principal Name had to be updated but when I do a setspn -l the both nodes are listed and the entries look fine, though there are no entries for the sql service (MSSQLSvc). Not sure if there should be entries for the virtual name, but there aren't any for either the old or new name. Does the new virtual name need to be added to AD? Here is the security error - Event ID is 560 and it looks like there's a problem with Remote Access and is generated when trying to access either node:
Category: Object Access
Type: Failure Audit
Event_ID: 560

One other informational message that may be of use - looks like there's a problem with dll's for remote access, though this isn't pertaining to SQL:

The local computer may not have the necessary registry information or message DLL files to display messages from a remote computer. You may be able to use the /AUXSOURCE= flag to retrieve this description; see Help and Support for details. The following information is part of the event: srmservice error: 0, Started the agent (srmagent.exe)..
Hey guys -
I am busy testing SQL 2005 Server Unattended installations and have a quick question. Microsoft specifies the following code for command line installation:
Start /wait <CD or DVD Drive>serverssetup.exe /qb INSTANCENAME=<InstanceName> ADDLOCAL=All PIDKEY=<pidkey value with no "-"> SAPWD=<StrongPassword>
SQLACCOUNT=<domainuser>
SQLPASSWORD=<DomainUserPassword>
AGTACCOUNT=<domainuser>
AGTPASSWORD=<DomainUserPassword> SQLBROWSERACCOUNT=<domainuser>
SQLBROWSERPASSWORD=<DomainUserPassword>
Here is a link to the installation pages: Click Here (http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms144259.aspx)
My question is what are all the different accounts for?
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks

I have successfully installed SQL Server 2005 SP1 but when I go to the "Microsoft Update" site it is still shown as required. I have tried going back to an old image of the PC and installing SQL Server 2005 and SP1 again but still the "Microsoft Update" page is not picking up the fact that SP1 has installed successfully. Anyone had the same problem or know of a fix?

Hello All, I am trying the following script to upgrade SQL Server 2005 SP1 to SP2. I have an Active Passive cluster configuration. I have default instances of SQL Server. I am using the following script.
start /wait c:1sqlserversp2SQLSERVER2005SP2-KB921896-x86-ENU.exe /allinstances /quiet.
The sql server install fails to run. When I used the above command with just
start /wait c:1sqlserversp2SQLSERVER2005SP2-KB921896-x86-ENU.exe /quiet still the summary.txt file came with authentication success and that is all. I changed the above script and did
start /wait c:1sqlserversp2SQLSERVER2005SP2-KB921896-x86-ENU.exe /instancename=instancename of the cluster
This worked, however the install patched the passive node (DB engine, all the cluster unaware components) but failed to patch the DB engine on the Active node. I had to run the SQL Server sp2 install manually but still it did not patch the DB engine on the primary node
1. Can someone please help me with this issue as I want the unattended install to work. so it installs both active and passive node. I will post the final output and also the ADS script to do this as a bonus if this works.
Here is the summary.txt file.

Summary
One or more products failed to install, see above for details
Exit Code Returned: 29506
1. Extracted SQL Server 2005 Express Service Pack 1 files to local filesystem.
2. Ran setup.exe from local filesystem.
3. Changed all installation paths to D. Specified data files go to D:Data
3. Set all services to run as Local System.
4. Did not reboot.
5. Extracted SQL Server 2005 Express Service Pack 2 files to local filesystem.
6. Attempted an unattended installation using /settings and a modified template.ini file.
7. Checked C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL Server90Setup BootstrapLOGSummary.txt which did not show any errors.
8. SELECT @@VERSION showed the version number is 9.00.2470.00, which indicates the upgrade was not actually successful.
This is what was in the modified template.ini file:
INSTANCENAME=MSSQLSERVER
INSTALLSQLDIR="D:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL Server"
UPGRADE=SQL_Engine
INSTALLSQLSHAREDDIR="D:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL Server"
ENABLERANU=0
Tried added this, which did not help:
REINSTALLMODE=vomus
Also tried adding this, which did not help, either:
INSTALLSQLDATADIR="D:Data"
What does it take to have a successful unattended upgrade of SQL Server 2005 Express from SP1 to SP2?
The scenario I have is as follows:
Our product ships with a bootstrapper that installs SQL Server 2005 silently for our clients - basically it's a pre-req which we load for them if it's not already installed.
The bootstrapper supplies the service account identity parameters for the SQL Server install command line in English. It supplies the local system account (NT AUTHORITYSYSTEM).
The problem occurs when we tried to install the product onto a French version of XP. We got the error message "SQL Server setup could not validate the service accounts. Either the service accounts have not been provided for all the services being installed, or the specified username or password is incorrect. For each service, specify a valid username, password, and domain, or specify a built-in system account."
Having read the page http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms143504.aspx#Localized_service_names we have discovered that the system account identity has a different name for French (AUTORITE NTSYSTEM) along with some other languages ... but we're not sure how to resolve the problem.
Can anyone out there tell me whether we ...
1) Can get the machine being installed on to tell us the local system account identity so we can substitute it into our command line in the bootstrapper?
2) Have to write a different bootstrapper for each language that names the local system account identity differently?
3) Have overlooked some other solution?
Also, does anyone know how many languages and which they are that give the local system account a name that's different to "NT AUTHORITYSYSTEM"??
Thanks,
Sara
<EDIT>
Sorry, omitted a vital bit of information. The bootstrapper is written in C++.
We know the .NET code to retrieve an NT account given a well known SID. Can we do the same in C++ somehow??

Hi,
I have a script that performs an unattended installation of SQL Server and works fine.
However, if I un-install via the control panel all the files are removed apart from the databases that are created by me when SQl server was installed. This is good and ensures data is not deleted.
The files left over are in the following directory:
C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLData
and contains:
MyDatabase.mdf
MyDatabase_log.LDF
The problem I have is after performing the re-installtion of SQL server (unattended) I am unable to create a new database with the same name (in this instance called "myDatabase").
The actual files are physically there so this is the reason a new database with the same name cannot be creacted.
Again this is ok again because it ensures I cannot overwrite existing data. However I am unable to re-attach this database to SQl server so I can continue to use it!
The question is:
How do I make this database usable again after an unattended install? Is there a parameter I am missing?
Below are the commands I use that are passed to the installation of SQL Server as command line parameters:
#define SQL_SILENT "-q /passive /norebootchk /qn reboot=ReallySuppress"
#define SQL_USERNAME "username=MyUserName"
#define SQL_COMPANYNAME "companyname=MyCompanyName"
#define SQL_ADDLOCAL "addlocal=ALL"
#define SQL_DISABLENETWORKPROTOCOLS "disablenetworkprotocols=0"
#define SQL_INSTANCENAME "instancename=MSSQLSERVER"
#define SQL_SQLAUTOSTART "SQLAUTOSTART=1"
#define SQL_SECURITYMODE "SECURITYMODE=SQL"
#define SQL_SAPWD "SAPWD=#Password#"
#define SQL_SAVESYSDB "1"
#define SQL_USESYSDB ""
#define SQL_INSTALLSQLDIR ""
#define SQL_INSTALLDATADIR ""
#define SQL_PARAMETERS SQL_SILENT + " " + SQL_USERNAME + " " + SQL_COMPANYNAME + " " + SQL_ADDLOCAL + " " + SQL_DISABLENETWORKPROTOCOLS + " " + SQL_INSTANCENAME + " " + SQL_USESYSDB + " " + SQL_INSTALLSQLDIR + " " + SQL_INSTALLDATADIR + " " + SQL_SAVESYSDB + " " + SQL_SQLAUTOSTART + " " + SQL_SECURITYMODE + " " + SQL_SAPWD
The last four commands I have played around with but for some reason SQL Server service will not start when these are used! (This is a different issue though!).
Any advice would be gratefully accepted.
Thanks
Paul
I completed an install of SQL 2005 SP2 on Windows Server 2003. Everything worked fine I can connect while logged into the box, while connected thru RDP. I can create databases add users without any issue. Until!!!!
I have a third party application (Tririga) which I run the install and indicate the SQL database (in this case local) The application begins to install but when I get to the point of adding the SA password the install fails.
"login fails for sa) 18456 sev 8 (wrong password) but it is the same password I use to connect to the DB. So I change the sa assword and try again and it still fails.
any suggestions would be nice. by the way on machines on which I have run an upgrade from 2000 (sql) to 2005 (sql) the install does not fail.
Hi All,
I am having an issue with SQL 2005 unattended install, I cannot see where in the template.ini file you can specify the TCP port number for SQL 2005 to listen to I want to change it to a specific port number, I know you can do this in an unattended install on SQL 2000.
Also in an unattended install of SQL 2000 and 2005 is there any way you can specify the database and transaction logs location for new databases to be installed on another drive then the system databases. I know you can change this later in SQL server properties but I wanted this to be done during the install or is there a T-SQL script which can do this after?
Any help on this will be great.
Cheers

Hi there,
I am trying to create an un-attended SQL 2005 Express install. I have successfully made my own template.ini file to install SQL the way I like but I cannot find a way to make it install with the "Ad hox remote queries" option enabled.
Is there anyway to do this? I can't seem to find any switches in the INI file to allow this.
Thanks

Hi,anyone could explain this : I have installed the same asp.net application on 2 distinct hosts, each with its own SQL Server 2000 database.However, in some SQL queries in Stored Procedures, the results do not come out the same.For example, on one server the query "select @value = (select ....)-(select ...)" works and on the other one it returns a null valueAny hint ?Thanks for your helpJohann

I've had some problems with Reporting Services and getting connected to the database server after configuration. I am now getting the following error message:
The report server cannot open a connection to the report server database. A connection to the database is required for all requests and processing. (rsReportServerDatabaseUnavailable) (rsRPCError)
In my Database Setup everything runs fine when I click apply except for the Setting Connection Info for Reporting Server this has a yellow triangle with a ! and says that the report server cannot access internal information.
I also have not been able to Initialize as there are no instances to initialize and none are created when I go through setup. Is there something I need to delete from the registry or the file system that does not get removed upon uninstall?
Thanks.

Hi,
I'm currently trying to develop an unattended installation of the Client Tools to be distributed to developers workstations.
All is well on 'clean' machines, but the problems arise when an instance of SQL Server Express is already present. The install fails, and the reason isn't clear from the log files.
I know Express installs a couple of the Client Components (like Config Manager), and I believe this is what it blocking me.
Has anyone tried this scenario?
Would I be best to REMOVE the Client_Components first, and then re-install them with SSMS etc.? Or is there a better method?
I have to leave the Express Database instance untouched as I'm not responsible for its installation or maintenance.
Thanks,
Gordon.
When doing a unattended install of Microsoft SQL Server Express, I have a problem specifing the service to installed to be run under the as local system account.
I'm using: SQLACCOUNT & SQLPASSWORD parameters but it just won't work.
As default SQL Server is installed using the NETWORK SERVICE account, this causes the database to be read-only. What I want is to specifiy in the script that the service should run under the LOCAL SYSTEM account instead. This must also be OS-language independent.
I've tried:
SQLACCOUNT=NT AUTHORITYSYSTEM
SQLACCOUNT=NT AUTHORITYLOCAL SYSTEM
SQLACCOUNT=NT AUTHORITYLOCAL SERVICE
SQLACCOUNT=SYSTEM
SQLACCOUNT=BUILT-INSYSTEM
etc.
and even some different SID as:
S-1-5-18
S-1-5-19
All with no password with the SQLPASSWORD parameter:
SQLPASSWORD=
I still getting the same error while validating the service account.
Is there someone else who knows what I'm doing wrong?
Best regards,
Mattias
I'm trying to do an unattended upgrade of 2014 RTM to 2014 SP1.
It's my first attempt at an upgrade configuration file, and its failing with missing registry entry for database engine service and replication service.
Error in summary.txt is:
The registry key SOFTWAREMicrosoftMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL12.MSSQLSERVER2495Setup is missing
That's a valid error, as the registry only has an entry for:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL12.MSSQLSERVERSetup
Am I missing something obvious here, or how can this be resolved?
Hi,
Do we have to manually install the ODBC 3.70 drivers for SQL server 7.0, or do they get automatically installed during the SQL server 7.0 installation. I did not see anything when I installed. So I am thinking that the drivers have to be installed separately
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"??

I have a variety of boxes with SQL tools installed on them. For some reason last week several of them seem to have gone a bit squif.
Server 1. Enterprise manager fails to run, giving message MMC could not create the snap-in. QA runs fine.
Server 2. Load EM click on a database and try Tools --> QA it comes back with File Not Found. Add isqlw as an external tool and you can run that ok, but still File Not found on the QA tab.
I know its not data corruption, but I hope someone can give me a clue on this!

I can't figure out what this problem may be:
At my application I'm installing sqlexpr32.exe by doing this:
Code Block
System.Diagnostics.Process proc1 = System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(
Environment.ExpandEnvironmentVariables("%SQLHome%")+ @" sqlexpr32.exe", "/norebootchk /qb reboot=ReallySuppress addlocal=all " + "instancename=SQLEXPRESS SQLAUTOSTART=1");
proc1.WaitForExit();
proc1.Close();
when I do this for the first time the sql setup runs but gives me an error saying that the file sqlncli.msi (Native Client) was not found
but if I go to the temp directory the msi is there..
when I run the app for the second time the sqlexpr32.exe detects the Native Client setup file and does the installation perfectly..
What could it be? Some thread issues?
Thanx in advance
I had a working SQL 2005 that I had to uninstall. I tried to verify things were cleaned up appropriately after the uninstall and rebooted afterwards.
When I went to reinstall I choose to install on another logical drive under raid 5 (lets say H:) in the EXACT same configuration as it was previously installed sans some of the services. Post-installation the data, Install etc folders you would expect to be under H:Program FilesSQL Server are actually under C:Program FilesSQL Server and the only thing installed under the H: selection was the 90/ folder. We uninstalled again and went back through the process and confirmed the selection of drive H: and AGAIN it installed it all to C:.
Please help!!!!!!!
I am trying to install SQL 2005 that came with my Visual Studio 2008 on my Vista Machine, it will install successfully, but when I want to get to say, the Management Studio, or the Configuration Manager, there is no "Microsoft SQL 2005" node in my All Programs. what gives? you kind of need those. thanks.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI nabbed a couple from some recent installs I did, and, assuming I can get my SAN guy to always give drives the same letter assignment, it looks fairly useful.
There's still a bunch of additional stuff to do, like turn on instant file initialization, size/create additional tempdb files, and set up alerts and database mail, etc.
Can the configuration file be expanded to handle any of that? Do you use something else to template/automate your SQL installs? The more I do it, the less I want to keep doing it.
How can one perform upgrade to SQL 7.0 from 6.x without using the upgrade wizard? Is there any unattended upgrade option that one can exercise?
Also, if SQL 7.0 is already installed, can one do a selective upgrade of some SQL 6.5 objects? For instance, can one upgrade only the tables, views and triggers from 6.5 to a 7.0 database?
Any pointers, help, info in this regard would be greatly appreciated!
