Hi, I noticed accidently today on my PATH and discovered that I have several variables for different sql versions. I can understand this as I have upgraded from 2008, to 2012 then 2014. Here are the list of variables
C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\100\Tools\Binn\;
C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\110\Tools\Binn\;
C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\120\DTS\Binn\;
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\120\DTS\Binn\;
C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\120\Tools\Binn\;
C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\Client SDK\ODBC\110\Tools\Binn\;
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\120\Tools\Binn\;
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\100\DTS\Binn\;
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\120\Tools\Binn\ManagementStudio\;
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\110\Tools\Binn\ManagementStudio\;
Can I delete all variables related to older versions safely without any issue
Thanks
We currently have a 4 node cluster and are looking to remove and re-purpose 2 of the nodes.
On the two passive nodes, I plan to remove the node from the failover cluster using SQL Server Installation Wizard, and then hand over to our Server team to remove the nodes from the cluster entirely.
Question is: Can this be safetly done while the database instance is being actively used on the active nodes, or should we shutdown the instance adn take a downtime to perform this maintenance?
I haven't been able to find any documentation to support this either way.

Hi All,
I have a problem that is very similar to the one reported here: https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/sqlserver/en-US/771492e5-c271-491c-9bd6-8ec01e65e96c/sql2012-express-completeimage-for-sysprep-fail-for-quotdoes-not-meet-upgrade-matrix?forum=sqlsetupandupgrade
I have to rollout 1500 laptops each with SQL 2012 Express to run a Kiosk based app. Previously we used SQL 2008 R2 and did an unattended installation on each device after the OS was laid down. This time around I am trying to make use of the Prepare and Complete processes so I can get most of the SQL installation as part of our Windows base image. This is all being delivered via SCCM.
I have reviewed and considered all of these articles:
I am using SQL Advanced x64 SP2 running on Windows 7 x64 Enterprise Edition.
Steps:
A) I used a virtual machine to create the Prepare image configuration file so that I can automate this step when creating the "real" Windows 7 reference machine.
B) Once I had the two configuration I prepared the real windows 7 reference machine.
C) Once prepared I captured the Windows 7 reference machine and added that image to an SCCM task sequence.
Everything is pointing to the fact that SQL is somehow in Evaluation mode.
The article "https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee210754.aspx" states the following:
Non-Express editions of SQL Server:
The Prepare Image step uses SQL Server Evaluation edition to install the product binaries. When the instance is completed, the edition of SQL Server depends on the product ID provided during the complete image step.
If you provide an Evaluation edition product ID, the evaluation period is set to expire 180 days after the prepared instance is completed.
Express editions of SQL Server:
To prepare an instance of SQL Server Express editions, use the Express installation media.
You cannot specify Product IDs for a prepared instance of SQL Server Express editions.
It clearly states here that non-SQL Express editions goes into evaluation mode. It seems, however that Express does the same. However it also states that that a product ID cannot be supplied for a SQL Express prepared image.
If I run the /action=CompleteImage without the configuration INI file the wizard works as expected. When I get up to to the Product ID dialogue I can pick from Evaluation or Express. This seems to confirm that Express is going into Evaluation mode. The "RANU is supported only for SQL Server Express." error message also indicates that when running a CompleteImage using an INI file somehow it defaults to Evaluation mode.
At this point I am a bit stuck. Any suggestions would be great.

We currently are running SQL Server 2012 SP2 CU1 on Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1, and looking to change to Windows Server 2012 R2, not sure at this point if we will be running Full Windows Server 2012 R2 or Core.
Is there any recommendations on moving SQL Server 2012 to Windows Server 2012/R2?

When I run the SQL Server 2014 Upgrade Advisor on my SQL Server 2008 (SP4) server, I get the following error:
NO SQL Server instance installed on target computer. (Microsoft.SqlServer.UpgradeAdvisor.UaEngine)
------------------------------
Program Location:
at Microsoft.SqlServer.UpgradeAdvisor.AnalyzerEngine.GetAnalyzer(AnalyzerType analyzerType)
at Microsoft.SqlServer.UpgradeAdvisor.AnalyzerEngine.RunAnalyzer(AnalyzerType analyzerType, String& reportFile)
It will not detect the server if I use the server name, I have to use the IP address. It does detect SSIS on the server, but not the SQL instance. I can force the mssqlserver default instance in the field, but when I run, I get the above error. It does run the analysis for SSIS. I have verified that my user has admin privileges on the target server, and I have verified that ports 1433 and 1434 are open. I also have companion server/instance ( same version) that I have been able to run on without issue.
Any ideas?

Hello
I have SQL2014 Enterprise installed and have also installed SSDT tools for BI. All services are up and running however I get the following dialog when I run SSMS:
Evaluation period has expired. For information on how to upgrade your evaluation software go to Microsoft url on how to buy
I used this iso from MSDN Subscriber Downloads to install:
en_sql_server_2014_enterprise_edition_x64_dvd_3932700.iso
How can I resolve this issue? Also, did the installation of the SSDT Tools create this issue?
Thanks,
John

Hi All,
Can you help me how can i add additional SQL server instance to existing clustered environment on SQL2005.
Thanks
We currently run sevcera SQL db's mostly 2008 and 2012.
For other applications like SharePoint the subject has come up internally between engineers that work with me, when to install hotfixes. After some research and other forum posts, we came up with a generalized standard for Microsoft applications that we would only patch service packs for several reasons, including the fact that Microsoft states that hotfixes are not tested as well as service packs. Also, that hotfixes should only be applied if you are experiencing the problem that the patch fixes.
I would like to know if you agree with this for SQL as well?
Thanks,
Hi Guys,
We're upgrading our SQL Server database from 2005 to 2012.
I ran the Upgrade Advisory report and got this issue "Non-integer constants are not allowed in the ORDER BY clause in 90" because of the script below
SELECT gp.BRAND+' <> '+gp.CATEGORY AS 'full name', gp.PRODCODE, gp.CATEGORY FROM dbo.GFK_PRODUCT gp ORDER BY 'full name'
I tried running the same query in our test SQL Server 2012 and it ran successfully.
Now I'm confuse if i still need to change it
I google the issue a bit and came across this link and mentioned this
"
1.) Non-integer constants are ... constants that are not integer number.
Example: 'string1'
represents
a string constant
0x01
represents
a varbinary constant
{ts
'2015-02-26 06:00:00'}
represents a datetime constant
1.23
represents
a numeric constants
2) So single quotes are used to define a string constants / character string constants but SQL Server allows also to use single quotation marks use also as column identifier delimiter:
SELECT... expression AS'Column1'FROM...
In this context is clear that 'Column1'
is
a column identifier but when used in ORDER BY : ORDER
BY 'Column1'
it generates confusion because SQL Server doesn't knows if it represents a string literal (character string constant) or it represents a column identifier / column name."
Do I still need to change the existing code even though it's working fine in 2012? If yes, it is because of best practice reason or it will total get deprecated/not working in the future version?
Also, to resolve the issue I can use brackes?
ORDER BY [full name]?
Many thanks.
