Unattended Install Of SSMS/BIDS After SQL Server Express

Dec 19, 2006

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.

Unattended (Silent) Install SQL Server Express How Do I Specify A The Built In System Account???

Aug 15, 2006

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

Unattended Re-install Of SQL Server 2005 Express Fails To Re-create Database!

May 2, 2008

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

Connecting To SQL Express After Unattended Install

Oct 13, 2007

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...

Unattended SQL 2005 Express Install Enabling Ad Hoc Remote Queries

Jul 6, 2006

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

Sql Server 2005 SP2 Unattended Install For Failover Cluster

Jan 17, 2008



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.

SQL Server 2005 Unattended Install Bootstrapper Fails On French XP System

Jan 10, 2008

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??

Unattended Upgrade Of SQL Server 2005 Express SP1 To SP2 Not Succeeding

Mar 30, 2007

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"

How Do I Do An Unattended Install Of MSDE 1.0 Sp4?

Jul 19, 2006

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.

Unattended Install Of Client Components

Jun 20, 2006

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.

How To Configure TCP Port For Unattended Install

Jul 24, 2006

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

Unattended Install From Commad Line W/o IIS

Hello SQL Knowledgeable Crowd,

Scripting Unattended Install In A Batch-file

Nov 28, 2006

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

SQL 2005 Unattended Install TCP Port Number

Oct 19, 2007

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

Sql Server 2008 Express With VWD2008 And SSMS

Apr 22, 2008



Hello,

On a windows 2003 server R2 x64, i had the Framework.net 3.5, Sql Server 2005 express (instance s423553 on NT SERVICENetwork) and Visual Web Developper 2008.

I installed Sql Server Express 2008 Express (install .SQLexpress with the local account sqlserv10). The first time (with the account NTSERVICENetwork), it failed. I uninstalled it and Sql Server Management Studio 2005. The second time, the install end properly. But, can't find SSMS. On a MsSql2008 microsoft page, i've found a link for SSMS 2005. So i installed it.

But, on this server, Sql Server Management Studio Express 2005 does not work with Sql Server 2008. I tried to use the 2008 Instance with Visual Web Developper 2008 but it didn't work (only compatible with sql server 2000, 2005....).

Could you help me please ?

Thank you.

Unattended Express Upgrade Changes Service Accounts To Local System

Jan 7, 2008

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

Business Intelligence Dev. Studio (BIDS) Install Fails

Oct 5, 2007

We're trying to upgrade to SQL Server 2005 (from 2000), but we're having consistent problems getting BIDS to install correctly.

The BIDS installation has failed on four of seven machines we've tried installing the SQL Server 2005 tools on. Not very good odds. Note that the rest of the SQL Server tools installed correctly; only BIDS is hosed. Two of the three machines where BIDS installed correctly were fresh Window's XP installs; one, however, wasn't a fresh install, so it's a mild enigma.

On the other four machines we've had the following issues with BIDS:


the shortcut created in the Start menu tries to load 'devenv.exe', but it's missing. BIDS doesn't start.
'devenv.exe' is on the system, however upon starting BIDS we're greeting with a generic pop-up that says, "Cannot find one or more components. Please reinstall the application.". Reinstalling the application does not help.

Thanks for any help or insight.

Can't Execute Package From BIDS Solution Explorer Post SP2 Install

Feb 20, 2007

Yesterday, SQL Server 2005 SP2 was installed on our DEV Server (Windows 2003 SP1 x86) and now I cannot right-click a package in the Solutions Explorer window in BIDS and Execute Package. When I do, I get the following error

===================================

Object reference not set to an instance of an object. (Microsoft Visual Studio)

------------------------------
Program Location:

at Microsoft.DataTransformationServices.Project.DtsPackagesFolderProjectFeature.ExecuteTaskOrPackage(ProjectItem prjItem, String taskPath)

I know I could do this yesterday morning pre SP2. I've attempted this with a couple of different packages and solutions, so it is probably not a corrupt package (unless now they are all corrupt). I can execute in debug mode if I open the package first and then hit Start Debugging. However this is not always an optimal solution because I sometimes have many connected packages and sometimes what gets executed is not what is expected.

Your thoughts would be appreciated.

Unable To Re-install SQL Server 2005 Express And Also SQL Express Toolkit

Jul 28, 2007

Hi,


I had some issues on my server and had to uninstall .Net Framework 2.0, SQL Server 2005 Express, and SQL Express Toolkit. I installed SQL Server 2005 Express and it seemed to be ok.


Then my problems all started when I tried to install SQL Express Toolkit because I needed to install DTS Wizard again, and it errors out and wouldn't let me install it. So I uninstalled everything that's listed above again.


I then tried to install SQL Server 2005 Express again, and on the second from last screen, while its listing all the components and configuring them, I get the following error as it's configuring the last component... which was the SQL Server Database Services.


TITLE: Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Setup
-----------------------------------------------------------
The SQL Server service failed to start. For more information, see the SQL Server Books Online topics, "How to: View SQL Server 2005 Setup Log Files" and "Starting SQL Server Manually."


I tried to re-install the SQL Server Express another 7 times wth no luck.


If anyone can point me in the right direction I'd really appreciate it.


Thanks,
Bill

How To Set Up SQL Server 2005 Express After Install VS 2008 Express

May 7, 2008

I installed VS 2008 Express with an option to download SQL Server 2005 Express.  I noticed there is a '90' folder under my Microsoft SQL Server folder.  I assumed this the folder for SQL Server 2005 Express. 
How do I set up my SQL Server2005 Express, so that I can use some sample databases for my VS 2008 Express?  Any difference for SQL Server 2005 Express between VS 2008 Expressdownload and SQL Server 2005 Express download?
TIA,Jeffrey

SQL Express 2005 And BIDS

Aug 31, 2006

I'm sorry but I am so frustrated from searching and trying things! I can't understand why this can't be resolved much easier.............anyway

I am trying to use BIDS on sql server express 2005 after attempting to install the tool kit a couple of times on different platforms. I have installed:

1) VS 2003 (also Visual C# Express on another machine);

2) .net 1.1 and .net 2.0;

3) SQL Server 2005 Express with Advanced services and the tool kit.

The sequence of installs is as follows

1).net 1.1 was there from the beginning

2)VS 2003

3).net 2.0

4)sql server 2005 express

5) tool kit

I see BIDS in the menu but devenv.exe does not exist. I've seen several workarrounds including finding and running vs_setup.msi but those don't work for me either. I am suspecting that the BIDS install conflicts with Visual Studio in any form! If this is true, can someone list those steps to follow to uninstall/re-install the products to get this working?

Thanks in advance!!!!!
