Sdf File On Shared Network Drive ?
Nov 29, 2007
I know , it is not going to work , just wondering if anyone could give any reasons for that. Whether it was intentional constraint or just internally compact edition was designed in particular way which makes such a usage not possible. It is a pity that it doesn't work that way as it would be much easier transitional path for many Visual Foxpro , MS Access applications.
In my case I just want READ-ONLY database either for multi-user access via shared drive or stand-alone on local drive.

Hi
I am having an Access database on a shared network drive which has read/write access rights on the that shared network drive.
When I try to Access data through the linked server it gives me gives me a message box saying you do not have permissions to view the data.
Also if i try to use xp_cmdshell to copy over the mdb file to my local drive it say 'Access denied'
But when I copy (through command prompt) the same file to another network drive or my local drive where I have full control the linked server can connect sucessfully.
The problem is the i cannot have 'full control' permissions on shared drive where my database resides.
Has anybody encountered this problem....
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

I am able to run SSIS packages as SQL Server Agent jobs with a Control Flow items "File system task", if I move a file (test.txt) from a drive (c on the server (where SQL Agent jobs run) to a subdirectory on the same drive. But, if I try to move a file on a network drive, the package fail.
What I can do to solve this issue.
Bye!

Good Morning,
I'm hoping that someone can help me. I have a SQL 2005 SSIS package that will run Friday mornings to empty/load a table with data from another database. On Friday evenings I'll need to run another package, but want to make sure the table load completed prior to launch. For this I planned to use a file watcher task, however I cannot for the life of me figure out how to output a 'done' semaphore, from the morning job, to a networked drive.
A file system task will not work because there is not a 'create file' option. I do not have an existing file that I can rename either.
I tried an execute process task running cmd.exe with the following argument:
Code Snippetecho Done> \NetworkedServerftprootLoad.Done
This fails because UNC paths are not recognized. (The package executes from another server so I cannot use a local path, nor am I allowed to set-up a local share.)
Can someone offer an alternative suggestion? I'm really hoping this is easier than I'm making it.
Thank you in advance,
Roger

I recently created a program that connects to a Microsoft SQL database that was stored on my computer and it worked fine. As soon as I tried to connect to the same database via a network drive I got an error stating that "The file Y:Filename.mdf is on a network path that is not supported for database files.". I can't seem to get it to work, if anybody has any ideas what I'm doing wrong I would appreciate your help.

Hi
I have been trying to use openrowset with a shared drive, and even though the share has "full control" permissions granted to "everyone" and the accout that SQL runs under has been granted explicit full control permissions I am unable to open the file which itself has no security on it.
Can I not use a \ path and only use mapped drives?
Thanks
below works...
SELECT * FROM OPENROWSET('Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0','Excel 8.0;Database=C:5People.xls', [Sheet1$])
below doesn't work...
SELECT * FROM OPENROWSET('Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0','Excel 8.0;Database=\cluster02FileManager5People.xls', [Sheet1$])

Hello, everyone:
I want to write a query to check a remote shared drive. The shared drive is mapped as T drive in my local. I run the statement,
EXEC master.. xp_cmdshell 'DIR C:'
It works. If I change to T drive like,
EXEC master.. xp_cmdshell 'DIR T:'
It dosen't work and returns,
"The system cannot find the path specified."
But I run DIR T: in DOS prompt, it works.
Any help will be great appreciated.
Thanks a lot.

I have an Access2000 app placed on a shred drive. The problem i am having is that users leave it opened and take long breaks. Sometimes they leave it overnight. I would like to make corrections to the form but can't. How can I save and close all users. I would like to send a message telling all users to save any changes and give them 1 minute before shutting down.
Thanks

Is this possible? I can only seem to restore when the *.bak is on a local drive which is ridiculous. I'm sure this translates to other operations in addition to restoring databases...

Is there a way to get access to the files on the shared drive from either of the nodes when the SQL Cluster is shut down?
It doesn't look like there is, but hoping there is some trick. I see how it can be done with a Windows Cluster but not a SQL Cluster.

I have an SSIS package which accesses a map UNC path drive. It works fine when I run SSIS from Visual Studio. However, when I run this from a SQL Server job, it gives an error.
I am not allowed to use xp_cmdshell due to security reasons. If someone can point me to right direction, that would be greatly appricated.
Thanks

Hello,
I need help with the setup of my sql server express 2005 and more specifically, with the location of the database files. Normally, database files are located on the c: drive. In my situation, being in a high school environnement, I need to have the database files on the network drive ... lets call it g:drive. The reason why it cannot be on c:drive is because this drive is protected using DeepFreeze. Now, I was able to change the location of the new drive as I went into the properties window of the sql server instance but when I try to create this new database, sql gives me grief ;-|
I am from the group of people that thinks that to anything, there is a solution and am hoping that to this problem, there is hope of a solution.
Can anyone help?
Thank you

We're trying to backup some dbs to a network drive but fail.
I read that the 'a/c to run SQLAgent must be a domain user a/c with
proper permission to access the network drive.'
What is proper permission? Read, Write ?
Only the a/c that runs SQLAgent needs the proper permission, the job's owner doesn't?!?
Thanks in advance,
Ben

I am using SQL2K server. I have a scheduled job which invokes a DTS package. One of the tasks in the DTS package invokes an OS command (from a .bat file) to map a network drive to b made available (dynamically, referring to a mapped drive letter, say "Y" or "Z") in successive tasks to refer to a source or destination TEXT file(s). Basically, the DTS package must be able to refer to the TEXT files (source/destination, depending on the task I have) located somewhere in the network. [ I use the NET USE command in the .bat file to map the network drive.)
The DTS package works stand-alone from SQL Enterprise Manager.
But, when the package is invoked from a scheduled job, the step containing the DTS package fails - the task which maps the network drive fails - access violation /session error...
How do I handle the batch job to overcome this problem?
I appreciate tips/solutions from anyone....
Thanks.

I am setting up a backup on one of my DB's and the network drive does not appear as an location that I can backup too. Only the C drive is present. However, on the server I do have a drive mapped to the network drive, so it should be available. Has anyone encountered this issue before?
Thanks!

I need to know if there is a way to perform a SQL Server 6.5 backup to a remote network drive WITHOUT USING A TRUST LOGIN.
My network administrator refuses to put a TRUST relation on the Primary Domain Controller. I`m not really sure why, but I need a workaround.

In 6.5 , I was NOT able to use mapped network drive for new database
device if the MSSQLSERVER service is running under local system account,
but if I changed it to using a domain a/c which has the authority to
create files on mapped drive, I was able to do it.
But if I tried it in 7.0, it never work and got msg:
Server: Msg 5105, Level 16, State 2, Line 1
Device activation error. The physical file name 'e:est2.mdf' may be
incorrect.
Server: Msg 1802, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
CREATE DATABASE failed. Some file names listed could not be created. Check
previous errors.
Is it something that's normal for 6.5 and 7.0 ????
i.e. we can only create databases on LOCAL drives ?
I am just thinking of in case we run of space locally, we can temporarily
make use of remote mapped network drive. (say at time of upgrading)
Any one has this experience ?

We have a package that is using a ForEach loop container to access files on a network drive. For some reason I am getting a message that the ForEach enumerator is empty and did not find any files that matched the pattern. For the pattern I left the default *.* for testing purposes. I have specified the file folder as \remoteserverfilesharesubfolder and also as \remoteserverc$filesharesubfolder and have gotten the same message. However when I map a network drive and set the file folder to the network drive it finds the files. Is this a permissions issue?
After I finish processing the file I want to move it to a new directory. Once this is deployed in production, the package will not be running under a domain account and probably won't have access to the network folder. Is there any way to specifiy in the connection manager itself that it should use a specific account to access the folder?
TIA,
Sabrina

I have a network drive that is mapped as Z: on my local machine. When creating a new database, that drive does not show up in the list of available paths. If I try to hardcode the drive/path info, I get an error message: "The system cannot find the path specified."

I am using SQL Server 2005 Express Edition. I am planning on upgrading to either Workgroup or Standard edition. While working with Express Edition I did find out that this version does not support backup to a network drive.
My question is:
Is it possible to backup directly to a network drive using a Workgroup/ Standard edition of SQL Server rather than backing up to a local drive and then 'copy and paste' to a network drive like the Express Edition.My other question is :
Given a database limit of 50GB, which one of the editions, Workgroup or Standard, will be appropriate for use.Thank you for your time and patience.
Regards

Hi,
I have created an sql server 2005 maintenance plan for a daily backup. The plan has two 'Back up database task' i.e. one backup on the local drive while the second on a network drive. When the plan is executed, a backup is created on the local drive but not on the network drive. If i check the log, it says "Access Denied" whereas i have full access to the network drive with complete permissions to read, write and delete.
Can anyone help me understand how to take a backup on both a local and network drive at the same time using a maintenance plan ? I shall be obliged...
Regards...

hi all
when my snapshot folder is on a network drive, on which "simple filesharing" is enabled, i can access that folder without typing a user and password and configuring login security settings.
but in fact the network drive on which the snapshot folder will be located will do have a login and password. (when i go to it with windows explorer, i have to enter my login and password).
won't this cause problems for the replication? as i don't see where to enter net network login when i configure the replication via the wizard.
Thanks for help
