Update failure Small Business Server 2012 error C0190003

≫ Next: MSSQL 2014 Licensing Question (CAL)

≪ Previous: The patch installer KB3045318 failed on sql server 2012 sp1 ,please help as to what could be done

The server indicates an error C0190003 after applying part of an automatic update, then locks.

I tried a safe-mode with networking and still was applied and failed. Similarly with a system image restore to an earlier date.

A command prompt boot would work, but I don't know what is needed to get rid of the update so a fresh download can be forced.

PS: I have picked up support for the Church's system when the previous techie moved out of the area and not familiar with SBS 2012 at all.

Thank you

MSSQL 2014 Licensing Question (CAL)

August 19, 2015, 8:22 am

≫ Next: SQL2K14 Activity monitor shuts down if I connect to the instance it's monitoring with performance monitor.

≪ Previous: Update failure Small Business Server 2012 error C0190003

Not sure if this is the correct forum, but I have a query on licensing of Microsoft SQL 2014.

We use MSSQL2014 for our Point of Sale software. We use SQL 2005 / SQL 2008 Express on the clients, and MSSQL2014 Standard edition for the server.

The clients speak to a Windows Service, which then updates the servers SQL database.

If 5 clients are talking to the windows service (which then updates the SQL database), would I need 5 CALs, or just 1.

So does the Windows Service that actually accesses the database require the CAL license, or does the user that speaks to the windows service require the CAL license still??

SQL2K14 Activity monitor shuts down if I connect to the instance it's monitoring with performance monitor.

≫ Next: SQL converts all decimal to zero

≪ Previous: MSSQL 2014 Licensing Question (CAL)

Has anybody ever seen this?

If I'm on a remote machine, meaning a computer not in the WSFC cluster, and I open SSMS 2014, point it to a SQL Instance, and open activity monitor:

1. I get all the panes and charts except % Processor Time.

2. Then, if I authenticate to the cluster's domain by mapping a drive with valid domain credentials, I'm free to put performance counters in the Perfmon - - - but SQL Activity Monitor shuts down with:

“The Activity Monitor is unable to execute queries against server SQL-V01\INSTANCE1

Activity monitor for this instance will be placed into a paused state.

Use the context menu in the overview pane to resume the activity monitor

Additional information: Access is denied. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80070005 (E_ACCESSDENIED))(Mscorlib)”

3. Of course, the Activity monitor can't be resumed via the context menu.

Removing counters and closing the perfmon do not help. I dropped the mapped drive and rebooted the machine. That brought back 95% of the information in the Activity monitor.

4. Further experimentation showed that any mapping of drive shares present on the SQL Server to the computer running SSMS cut off functionality of the 'overview' pane in the remote machine's SQL Activity monitor -- the monitor that had been trying to watch the server offering the shares.

I have an app with sql. When I type a decimal numbered try to save it to the database the database converts it to zero. It does not matter if it is 0.5 or 23,5. All figures are converted to zero. This must has something with specific character sets for content to do. Any tips or hint from you experts?

≪ Previous: multiple names instances of sql with different version?

Hello everyone,

We're planning to upgrade our existing setup from SQL 2008 R2 to SQL 2014 at Azure.
The new server is up and running with SQL 2014.

Now, my job is to move all databases and SQL jobs to this new server.
Then, test command line database build and convert all existing SSIS Packages.

Once I prepare this server, the next task is to prepare 2 QA servers in a similar manner.
And finally, the production server.

Can anybody please advise what needs to be taken care to complete this job successfully?
Also, please advise how to prepare the templates or scripts, which could be reused for other servers down the line.

Likewise, please suggest how to get the maximum benefits/advantages of SQL 2014 at Azure?

I've searched for this issue and the general suggestion is to grab the hash of the SSL cert and edit the registry and paste the hash value in the "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server\NameOfServerInstance\MSSQLServer\SuperSocketNetLib\Certificate". So I've done that, making sure to remove the spaces from the hash value. I can start up SQL Server and it seems happy enough to load the certificate. However, when I attempt to connect it fails with:

A connection was successfully established with the server, but then an error occurred during the login process. (provider: SSL Provider, error: 0 - The target principal name is incorrect.) (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: -2146893022).

This machine is not part of a domain, but I've made sure the Primary DNS Suffix of this machine matches my domain name. So the cert is issued to "*.mydomainname.com" and the Primary DNS Suffix is set to "mydomainname.com". My server name is WIN-TH7.

Everything else about the cert. matches the criteria in the various KB articles. It just doesn't seem like the wildcard is being respected. The other articles I've found reference SQL 2008, so I'm guessing something about this changed between versions.

Does this even work? If so, what do I need to change to get SQL to use this cert?

Thanks,
