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.
View 1 RepliesHi All,
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.
Are there ways to manage the predefined MSDE setttings for tempdb.ldf?
Are there any automated methods that can be used to shrink or clear old tempdb.ldf log files other than rebooting?
Thanks for any feedback, the first part about rebooting was very helpful.
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?
Hi all,
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 !!!!!
Can anyone help me please ?
Personnel, OK?
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:
[DBNETLIB] [ConnectionOpen (ParseConnectParams ()). Invalid connection.
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?
Thanks
