Hi All
Im a new comer to the site and wsus.
I inherited a functional wsus server it was great but due to a demand for improved reporting features I attempted to install the Wsus rollup reporting sample. Im uncertain as to how but I hashed up the installation to the extent that it corrupted the MSDE installation. It was suggested I remove wsus and reinstall.
At this point I made another error. I was told that WSUS 3 had improved reporting features (and indeed it does, its infinitely better in that respect) so I signed up with Microsoft and downloaded the installation file.
WSUS 3 uses SQL 2005 for Windows so my back up of the MDF & log files were rendered useless.
I have since removed WSUS 3 reinstalled a fresh copy of WSUS Sp1 and run the synchronisation job.
The fresh install does not have my machines/groups setup nor any of the updates approved.
I would like to know is there any way I can use the MDF file and its log to rebuild my WSUS environment?
I am interning at my university and I am installing and running windows server update services. My problem is that I made all of the necessary changes in the group policy and only half of the clients on the domain are reporting to the server. Keeping in mind that I have people around me who do not understand anything about servers. If there are any suggestions please respond.
i've got "Windows Server Update Services encountered an error. The log file for database 'tempdb' is full. Back up the transaction log for the database for free up some log space" error. i'm using MSDE at my current server which is function to download windows update from internet so all pc's at my local domain automatically update windows from this server without using internet.
what i'm suppose to do to solve this error? i've no idea coz i'm not familiar with MSDE. thankss..
I have a Windows Server 2012 R2 install that I am trying to use as a WSUS server.I have setup SQL Server 2012 Express on the server to be used as the WSUS database. When installing the WSUS role, I select the option to install the SQL database and continue through the wizard to the point where I have to connect to the database.At this point I enter 'ServerNameMSSQLSERVER' and select 'Check Connection'.At this point, I get the following error: 'A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server.
The server was not found or was not accessible. Verify that the instance name is correct and that SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections. (provider: SQL Network Interfaces, error: 25 - (Connection string is not valid)I have tried using localhost and the server's IP for the name, but those fail as well. How can I get this working? It's urgent for me as I already have downtime scheduled for patching.The server is not hosting any other roles and is joined to an existing domain. Unfortunately, I don't have access to any of the other servers on the domain.
I have finished a change request from our client. I need to update clients' database with the one in developments.Here is the changes i made to database:Added/Changed some tablesAdded/Changed some stored proceduresAdded data to some dictionary tableThe data in clients' current database MUST be kept. So how can I merge the changed information to clients' database?
WSUS is installed on my windows 2003 server. During the install, parameter DISABLENETWORKPROTOCOLS was not specified, and so no remote connection was possible.
I used SVRNETCN.exe to enable TCP/IP remote connection on port 1433. However it seems not to work.
FROM THE SERVER :
osql -E -S MYSERVERWSUS works fine but
osql -E -S 127.0.0.1WSUS doesn't work, i get the famous error
[DBNETLIB]Serveur SQL spécifié non trouvé. [DBNETLIB]ConnectionOpen (Connect()).
If i user "osql -L" command, my instance doesn't appear in the list
FROM A CLIENT COMPUTER
osql -E -S MYSERVERWSUS and
osql -E -S MY_SERVER_IPWSUS don't work, i get the same error
I've tried tried to understand for hours, and i'm lost. I thought there may be a problem between SQL and 2003, and read SQL sp3a was required. I ran
select @@version from osql and got result
Microsoft SQL Server 2000 - 8.00.881 (Intel X86)
8.00.881 is not referenced in ms support as a patched version number !!!!!
I am trying to install the Wsus 3.0 and store your database on a server-database SQL2005 SP2 remotely.
When I come on screen Database Option I choose Using an existing database server on this computer I put my <serverName> <instanceName> ai seems the message below:
Did I thought that all procedures on the Net, such as enabling Remote Connections, signed in sql remote machine using sqlcmd, picked up the article http://support.microsoft.com/kb/909801 for authentication kerberos (my authentication this via NTLM do not know why) but still did not work, someone already went through this problem?
I am a DBA and my boss recently recommended that we change our QA environment so that we don't have any databases on it unless they are actively being tested. This would be to save hardware costs.
The only issue I can think of at this point is that promotion to our QA environment would take up to 2 hours for some of our larger databases if we have to restore production databases to qa for every QA run.
Is this a good idea? How do you run your QA (full or partial copy of prod)? Any input appreciated.
I work on a company where we today have one SQL Server Standard Edition and Reporting Services (SSRS) and Analysis Services (SSAS) installed on the same server.
Now we want to install SQL Server Enterprise Edition, but still have the Standard Edition installed. We are gonna invest in one more server.
I wonder if its possible to install the database engine for both versions on one server and then install instances of SSRS and SSAS on the other server?
Can Standars Edition have SSRS and SSAS on another server than the Database Engine? And is it different versions of SSRS and SSAS between SQL SE and SQL EE, or does SSRS and SSAS get the SQL EE benefits if the database engine is SQL EE?
I have about 23 SQL servers running 6.5 SP3 or SP5a in a 24 hour environment. Most of the activity takes place between 6am and 11pm, with few transaction after 11pm. What is best to do with the main DB's transaction log, have the truncate at checkpoint option checked OR back up the transaction log a couple times a week? The Database is backed up every 6-8 hours.
I have about 40 DTS packages that I want to run against three different databases on the same server. Can someone suggest an easy way to run these jobs and differentiate each time which SQL or INI file to use.
Jimmy writes "We use a software that stores its database in SQL. We currently have a server box running Windows 2000 Server with SP4 and SQL Server 2005 with SP2 which holds the database. The server is wired in but we have several other stations that connect to the database wirelessly.
The problem is with our wireless stations. When a wireless client travels from one access point to a repeater, it'll drop the connection for that moment. Once it picks up the wireless connection again, it requires closing out of the software and going back into it so it reestablishes the SQL connection to the server.
Is there a solution for a seamless reconnection with SQL for our wireless clients? Is this a problem with our software or SQL? Please advise. Thank you."
Hi Guys, Im new to SQL Server 2005. In our organization, I was tasked to implement and maintain MS SQL 2005 database. We have several system developer and they are using MS SQL 2005 as a backend database.
Currenty, they are responsible for designing their own databases required by their application. My concern is that I want to restrict access to my SQL server that only the DB administrator can access the database server.
My question is that, how they can design their databases without accessing the database server. Is it possible for them to access SQL Server with some restriction? I mean, I want to impose some security measures that they can only access objects within their scope.
Our current scenario is that they have MS SQL Express version installed in their pc and from that terminal they can design and test their application and after everything is in place, Its me who will migrate their respective databases for production in MS SQL 2005 server.
Hoping you can provide me the best alterntive to this query.
Trying to figure out what development enviroment we need in order todo the following:- develop a non-native SQL server stored procedure;- call a web service or java program from the stored procedure;- return static values;- call the stored procedure from a view.How do I get a hold of the right tools and what do I need to put thepieces together?Obviously, I've not used SQL server and I'm looking for the basicstarting point.Thanks!
I'm currently using the setup below for my RDA testing. Is there any problem with this setup?
connected connected Client Apps (SQLCE 3.0) -----------------> Windows Server 2003 (Web server) ----------------> Windows XP (SQL2005)
previously was using windows XP to act as web server and have SQL server reside inside the same machine but having 10 connection limitation from windows xp where only 10 client can connect to the machine. The current setup moves the web server out to windows server 2003 and i believe it solves the 10 concurrent connection limitation but how about the SQL server? is it limited to 10 connection from windows server 2003 also? (Windows XP is my testing server, Windows Server 2003 contains important test data for the whole company) . I tried with concurrent RDA pull for 40 client concurrently with 1 pc having 10 client apps but obtain not really satisfying results. Pulling one table (20Mb) needs 1 to 2 mins through LAN networks but pulling concurrently with 40 clients takes up to 20 - 30 mins.
Now that I've installed SQL 2005 Express Advanced, shouldn't there be a DB Environment I can work with? There must be a configuration mistake because I can't see the "container?" Prior to SP1 I had SQL 2005 Express installed and I could open and use SQL; however, once I loaded SP1 that stopped. I thought if I load the "Advanced" I would be "back in business."
i am working in hospital environment. i am a novice in SQL. i have an urgent issue to answer which is around numbering the order of theatre event for the same patient based on the into theatre time. Patients can go to theatres several times in the single hospitalisation. we need to order as 1, 2, 3 and so on based on the into theatre time which is date/time format. your help is much appreciated. thanks.
Sould one has a seperated environment for production and test system? How do you do it on a same server? Install two instance? How do you seperate test DBs from the production DBs? Please advise...Thank you
I am embarking on a project to upgrade our SQL server environment. I'm curious for some opinions on the relative benefits of Log Shipping versus a Clustered environment and you have any experience that has helped form your opinion on the issue?
I'd like to allow students in a lab to use the Express Manager and T-SQL to create their own databases. I think I've figured out just about everything - but the last step. Here's my thinking on how to do this:
1. Students are power users, not local admin 2. Created a login for the builtinpower users group as follows: create login [BUILTINPower Users] from windows with default_database=[master] go exec master..sp_addsrvrolemember @loginame = N'BUILTINPower Users', @rolename = N'dbcreator' go 3. Now students can start the Express Manager and connect to: localhostsqlexpress using Windows Authentication 4. After they do, they can open and run a script creating a database and populating it with tables and records. 5. All good up to here... but when trying to access the new database using VB Express (file based, not a remote connection) access is denied.
The problem is in the NTFS file permissions being assigned to the new database mdf and ldf files. Local administrators and the builtin Network Service accounts have permissions, but the student who created the database gets nothing... So the student is denied access to the mdf and ldf files when trying to make a connection to them using VB Express.
I can go in with a different account having admin privileges are assign privileges to power users for the mdf/ldf files after they're created but this isn't what I need (students need to work whenever they want without waiting for an admin to fix the file permissions).
Maybe I'm going about this all wrong? If I have to I can insist on students always using VS 2005 instead of VB Express and use connections to a remote database (no problems doing this), but I'm still hoping for an express solution.
I'm new to this forum, so apologies if this is a dumb question (but even if it is - can anyone point me in the right direction?)
I want to offer a SQL 2005 server in back-end configuration for my hosting clients. Basically this means that they administer the DB with a webbased tool and the DB server it self is configured in the backend and has no direct connect to the internet. The DBs can only be access from the frontend web server.
- What security considerations should I take to use this server in a public hosting environment? - We only allow webbased administration, no direct connect to the server are allow and possible. - Multiple databases will exist on the same server from different customers.
I really would like to have as many information as possible. There is not much usefull information available on the web or in the books I own about SQL.
The question should actually be: what do you want to prevent from happing on your servers by authenticated users and ofcourse unwanted users. And how to do this.
I want to make some steps towards securing production database.
1. Give limited rights to Developers, i.e. db reaonly, db writedeny 2. Make strong password for local and Domain 3. Use Windows authentication 4. Enable log for 'Failed Login' attempts.
We are currently managing about 75 SQL Server instances. Each instance contains jobs (backups, index work, admin, etc) which report back to a central instance for monitoring. This is working well, but each time I need to change one of the jobs, I am having to log into each instance to do so.
I have recently played with Multi-server Environment, using a master and target, to see if this might help. There is relatively little written about Multi-server in books-online, and I am left with a question.
All jobs appear to be exact duplicates. But I don't want exact duplicates. For example, on the various target servers, I would like for the backup jobs to run at different times, and write to different directories. How are the rest of you working around this situation, if you are using Multi-server Environment?
does anybody know if it is possible to use environment variables when calling dtexec utility?
I'd like to run packages stored on server's file system from directory that I've had specified in an environment variable called SSIS_PackagesPath.
Now, I'am trying to write dtexec command, where path to the actual SSIS package would be concatenation of environment variable (i. e. path to package directory) and name of package itself (written explicitly). Is this syntactically possible?
The reason behind is to be able to easily modify package storage directory for multiple scheduled jobs that run SSIS packages.
I have two SQL servers that I am trying to setup log shipping on. I am unable to get the restore of the initial database to work on the standby server. It gets a "unable to open file" error when trying to do the restore.
I have created a "syncaccount" user on both machines, and both have same password. I have used configuration manager to set the user/password for the agents on both servers.
I have given syncaccount admin access. I have added syncaccount to the shares on both servers.
Wy am I getting this error.
Does anyone else think it is VERY difficult to make this function work.
