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!

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?
Hi There
I am doing an unattended upgrade of Sql Express with Advanced Services SP1.
Before the upgrade the services run under domain accounts.
I use the following command :
start /wait setup UPGRADE=SQL_Engine INSTANCENAME=MSSQLSERVER SQLACCOUNT=DOMAINUser SQLPASSWORD=p@ssw0rd ADDLOCAL=Client_Components,SQL_SSMSEE /qn
However after the ugrade the service accounts are running under local system.
Documentation is unclear, i find the following:
; The services for SQL Server and Analysis Server are set auto start. To use the *ACCOUNT settings
; make sure to specify the DOMAIN, e.g. SQLACCOUNT=DOMAINNAMEACCOUNT
; NOTE: When installing SQL_Engine 3 accounts are REQUIRED: SQLACCOUNT, AGTACCOUNT and SQLBROWSERACCOUNT.
; SQLACCOUNT Examples:
; SQLACCOUNT=<domainuser>
; SQLACCOUNT="NT AUTHORITYSYSTEM"
; SQLACCOUNT="NT AUTHORITYNETWORK SERVICE"
; SQLACCOUNT="NT AUTHORITYLOCAL SERVICE"
To my knowledge the <> is not required.
Can someone please help as i cannot get the services accounts to run under a domain user after upgrade.
Thanx
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?
Using an unattended file (.iss) is there a way to incorporate the SP3 (or any) patch within an .iss file so that there is only only install that incorporates the patch?

We cannot set the "Unattended Execution Account" on any Sql Server 2005 Report Server. This problem occurs on new installations and existing installations of Report Server. We have several servers that have the account already set from prior install and configuration, but now it cannot be changed. No domain policy changes have been applied, only MS Patches.
All attempts to set the account using the Report Server config tools return a UnauthroizedAccessException, as shown below. I have been unable to find any documentation on the permissions required for this action. Can anybody help?

Hello,
I have a problem with an unattended installation of the SQL Server 2005. I am trying to convert a manual-installation to unattended but am stuck with the service accounts. According to the manual I have to install the server using the built-in system account without customization for each service account.
Installation takes place on a machine with German Windows XP Professional Service Pack 2. It stopped the installation with a message telling me to specify sqlaccount, rsaccount, etc.
I did this and still get an error. According to http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms144259.aspx I tried NT AuthoritySystem and Nt Authority, but I can't get the unattended install to work.
The manual installation works fine on this system so I think it must be a problem with the parameters I'm using.
Best Regards

Hi,
I have tried to do a new SQL 2005 install via an unattended install script. I have tried both a modified version of the template.ini and just from the command line.
The installation starts and successfully installs some of the components I have selected through the ADDLOCAL option. Unfortunately it then reports an execution error and exits.
The errors I find in the install log files are as follows...

I am trying to upgrade an MSDE 1.0 db with the Service Pack 4 patch
but I need to do either a Silent or Unattended install.
Does anyone know how to do this? Does anyone know the
command-line command to do this?
I tried using...
sql70sp4.exe -a -f1 "unattend.iss"
....but that didn't work. It popped up a window asking where I
should extract the contents of the .exe (that shouldn't be appearing
either) and then after it extracted it didn't do anything else.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
I need to install the above to various PC's in our company. Has anyone done this before and could they give share any advice please.
Thanks in advance..
Hey guys -

We're trying to use the unattended installation method for installing SQL 2000 on Windows 2000 servers. I've installed it (through terminal server) on two machines successfully, and two machines unsuccessfully. On the unsuccessful machines, it fails with no errors, and no SQL files are installed (bombs out almost immediately).
Anyone else had this problem? Could it possibly be a hardware issue?
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.
I'm trying to do an unattended install of the client components for SLQ2005. I have read the document on doing a install from the command prompt but when I use the "ADDLOCAL" switches I get some components that I don't require. For example, I am using the following command to run the setup - "start /wait <path>setup.exe ADDLOCAL=Client_Components,SQL_Tools90,Connectivity". When I look at the Add/Remove Programs list I can see that it has installed "MSXML 6.0 Parser", "SQL 2005 Backward Compatibilty" and "Office 2003 Web Components". The only components I require are the "SQL Support Files", "SQL Server Native Client" and " CLient Tools". If I run "start /wait <path>setup.exe REMOVE=SQLXML,TOOLS_BC_DEP" it will remove "Office 2003 Web Components" and "SQL 2005 Backward Compatibilty" but not the "MSXML 6.0 Parser". How can I get rid of this?
Thanks for any help.
I've looked through every source of material on SQL Server Express unattended installs that I could get my hands on, but so far, I've come up with nothing that shows how to set the server engine's TCP port to 1433.
Since the SQL Server setup is part of a (considerably) larger install, requiring the customer to set this by hand is not really acceptable.
Is there a way to do this with a command-line parameter (etc)?
Thanks in advance

Good afternoon,
I have written a .NET app that kicks off an unattended install of SQL Server Express Advanced. After the install, the same app tries to connect to SQL Express adn run a script that creates a database plus a few other things.
However, the problem I am having is that my app cannot connect. I get the error:
"An error has occurrred while establishing a connection to the server. This failure may be casued by the fact that under the default settings SQL Server does not allow remote connections."
However, the unattended install goes great. No problems there. I know this because I can Open SSMS, run queries, created DB's, etc. I also know that it is not the remote connections issue because the unattended install is set to allow remote connections (both names pipes and TCP/IP).
So, why can't i connect? I don't need to reboot after the install do I? Please tell me i don't...and please tell me it is something simple I am overlooking.
Thanks...
Hello SQL Knowledgeable Crowd,
I'm trying to install SQL Server 2005 from the command line without using an .ini file and without having IIS installed. I know that I need to pass all the parmeters and I think I have them all.
My .bat file will install when IIS is installed, but I can not get it to install without IIS. The GUI gives me a warning and allows me to ignore this, but I can't figure out the switch that will do the same thing.
Can someone please point out my mistakes.

Hi!
I'm trying to do the following in a batch-file:
1) Install SQLExpress unattended providing settings in an .ini-file
2) Run an osql-command which creates a database and some tables etc.
My batch-script looks like the following:
REM Install SQLExpress
start /wait .SQLExpresssetup.exe /qb /settings %CD%mysettings.ini
osql -S (local)MyExpress -U sa -P passwd -i .createdb.sql
...
The problem is that the SQLExpress setup updates the %PATH%, but the change is not visible in my cmd-context . So, the osql-command fails.
It seems like I have to start a new cmd-window from the windows shell to get the updated environment.
Is there any way to make the environment changes visible to my script?
This might be more a sort of general batch-programming topic, but any help is appreciated. :)
Regards,
Sigurd Ringbakken
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

I'm able to install SQL 2005 Express using a template.ini, and use the option DISABLENETWORKPROTOCOLS=2 in order to enable TCP/IP. However, I then manually need to open SQL Server Config Manager > SQL Network Config > Protocols for SQL > TCP/IP > "IP Addresses" tab > change all "enabled" options to "yes".
Is there an automated way to do this?
Thanks,
James
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.

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.
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

I 'm trying to install Sql Server 2005 Express Edition using c# 2.0 by starting a process and launching setup. I also want to informed about installation progress. For instance i want to inform end user if any installation error return or if setup has successfully completed etc. I think i need a callback... I have no problem about silent - unattended install but how can i informed about running installation progress ? and send these info to end user 's form ?
Regards.

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??
</EDIT>
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
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
my local instance of reporting services is named and therefore I think causing me a problem when I issue the following command to set up an unattended account...
rsconfig -s localhostinstance name -e -u domain nameuser name -p password
the message I keep getting is "No Reporting Services instance found on local host.". I tried a couple of things including replacement of the word localhost with my computer name but to no avail. I tried single and double quotes around the -s parameter but no success.
Anybody know how to do this?
