I am currently utilizing a cloud server with SQL 2012 Web Edition. I am planning on moving my application to a dedicated server at a data center. The data center can deliver the machine with 2012 Windows Server for $15/mo. The data center has inquired with their MS partner about SQL and have quoted outrageous licensing fees. They are not familiar with the Web edition. How does the data center acquire a license for the Web Edition so it can be loaded on my dedicated server?

Installing SQL Server 2008 R2 Express
Hello,
I have build a setup in Visual Studio. An Installer dll is also used.
At the public override void Commit(System.Collections.IDictionary savedState) method (custom action) of the installer I run the following :
Process.Start(sqlExe, prms);
where sqlExe is the setup.exe file and prms = "/q /ACTION=Install /INSTANCENAME=xxxx_1 /FEATURES=SQL /IACCEPTSQLSERVERLICENSETERMS /SECURITYMODE=SQL /SAPWD=xxxx /SQLSVCACCOUNT=\"NT AUTHORITY\\SYSTEM\" /AGTSVCACCOUNT=\"NT AUTHORITY\\SYSTEM\" /ASSVCACCOUNT=\"NT AUTHORITY\\SYSTEM\" /RSSVCACCOUNT=\"NT AUTHORITY\\SYSTEM\" /SQLSYSADMINACCOUNTS=BUILTIN\\ADMINISTRATORS /ENABLERANU /NPENABLED=1 /TCPENABLED=1";
The setup finishes ok but when I try to access the SQL Server from management studio I get the error : Login failed for user 'xxxxx'. Reason: Server is in single user mode. Only one administrator can connect at this time. (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 18461)
If I run the same SQL Server installation from an application it works fine.
Any idea why this is happening?
Thank you
Yannis

VSS snapshots failing, possibly because of problems with SQL and WSUS?
Not long ago I realized that the WSUS database and related files on my server were about to overwhelm the partition (O/S partition) where they were originally installed. Realizing this was a problem that was only going to get worse I decided to relocated the WSUS files and databases to a larger partition on the same server. To do this I used the Microsoft instructions (How to Move WSUS Content and Database Files to a Different Volume) to move the content and the databases to the new partition. Everything seemed to go as planned.
Apparently I must've messed up somewhere along the line because the SUSDB.mdf files on the original drive (C-Drive) appear to still be in use, and the SUSDB.mdf files on the new, larger drive (E-Drive) aren't being touched. There does appear to be current activity in the E:\WSUS\WsusContent\ folder, but the "Modified date" of the .mdf file located in E:\WSUS\SUSDB\UpdateServicesDbFiles directory hasn't changed since I moved it (two months ago).
As an added "gotcha", soon after I tried to move the WSUS files I started encountering problems with my backups (which are dependent on Microsoft's VSS service to complete normally). A server reboot would clear up backup problems for a few days, then after a few days backups would start failing again. A review of my server's log files revealed a bunch of MSSQL$MICROSOFT##SSEE errors (3197, 3198, and 18264).
So I feel like I'm up against some problems here related to MYSQL and VSS that are over my head. Can anyone help me clear these up? Many advance thanks.

Dependencies between Windows (OS) updates and SQL Server updates
Hello dear gurus,
We have a critical cluster with Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 on board and a SQL clustered instance installed there with SQL Server 2008 R2 SP1. Since a maintenance window is very short we are going to upgrade this instance till SQL Server 2008 R2 SP3. Besides that change should be implemented very soon by a customer's demand. The only problem is that the operating system (OS) has never been patched. Could you please advise if there are really critical OS patches without which a SQL Server instance will not work after the upgrade? And if there are some what OS patches should be installed first?
Thank you for replies in advance.

Uninstall AdventureWorks2012
I downloaded the AdventureWorks2012 OLTP script. When I ran it it gave me some errors. I also noticed that it tried to install into the bult-in master database, it created a lot of tables and objects. Some questions :
1) How can I remove everything that the script installed into master database?
2) Do I need to create 1st an empty database and then run the script there?
3) I am running the script from a custom path (C:\Downloads\Microsoft SQL Server 2012\AdventureWorks 2012 OLTP Script.zip\AdventureWorks 2012 OLTP Script) not sure if this is causing some of the errors as the script, in the beggining has a path to other folders :
:setvar SqlSamplesDatabasePath "C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL11.MSSQLSERVER\MSSQL\DATA\"
-- NOTE: Change this path if you copied the script source to another path
:setvar SqlSamplesSourceDataPath "C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL11.MSSQLSERVER\Tools\Samples\AdventureWorks 2012 OLTP Script\"
4) Final question, I also downloaded the AdventureWorks 2012 simple database (AdventureWorks2012_Data.mdf). Is this file the same database as the one created by the OLTP script?
I am running SQL Server 2012 Full Installations (180 day trial with SSIS, SSRS).

Reboot required to Server to add an SSRS to one of the many instances already installed?
Have a production server, 12 Enterprise, and we are adding a new app to an existing instance. Nex app needs SSRS and that was not put in the install request a year ago for the instance. :)
I do not think a reboot is required but have been wrong before. Am I wrong again? If so don't tell my wife!
There are no SPs applied to this server and only last week we were given go ahead from one app vendor to apply SPs. That would have been done in monthly maintenance cycle next weekend. Our test server is doing just fine with all apps on SP1.
Thanks for your time.

Which products install SQL Server
We use WSUS to apply patches to our desktops. It tells us that many of our desktops need SQL Server Service Packs. I know about SQL Server Management Studio, Express Edition and LocalDB installed along with Visual Studio, but the numbers still
do not add up. I would like to know what other applications I might be impacting when I push out updates. What other products install sqlservr.exe?

Differential backups periodically taking a longer than expected time to complete
Hello --
We are running a SQL Server 2008R2 64-bit database system on a Windows 2012 R2 64-bit Standard system. I have noticed in recent weeks that our differential backups periodically are taking longer than expected to complete. The usual amount of time is about
one hour, but on several occasions, it has taken upwards to five hours. The nights when the job takes longer to complete are on Friday.
I did some checking online, and one possible reason for this issue is my scheduling the reindexing of the database on the morning of the Differential backup. For example, this past Friday the reindexing occurred at 1:00 AM with the Differential running at 10:00 PM that night.
The article that I read suggested the reindexing, which takes several minutes, if that, to complete, should be scheduled to run just before the Full backup job. I wanted to know what other people thought of that approach before I implemented it on our system.
Thanks.

Upgrade Advisor 2014 Report - "No unresolved issues found" (SSAS)
Hi,
Upgrade Advisor 2014 report says “No unresolved issues found” when executed on SSAS, analysis did not take more than 10 seconds. I’ve tried executing UA on SSAS 2008 R2 and SSAS 2012 servers, got the same report.
Following URL talks about common upgrade issues with SQL Server 2014, but this list does not have any SSAS issues.
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-US/library/ee210473.aspx
What are the common SSAS issues addressed by Upgrade Advisor. Is there any configuration/settings to be changed for successful execution of Upgrade Advisor on SSAS. Or shall I assume that there are no known issues that could be identified by Upgrade Advisor. please suggest
Thanks in advance. Appreciate quick response.
Thanks,
