SQL 2012 Service Pack 3 Error 233

$
0
0

I recently updated SQL 2012 SP2 to SP3 (KB3072779)

After a reboot I am getting an error message when I try to logon locally to SSMS. I do have SA, and am able to login to the database remotely with SSMS. 

"A connection was successfully established with the server, but then an error occurred during the login process. (provider: SSL Provider, error: 0 - No process is on the other end of the pipe.) (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 233)"

When I look at the SQL Server Configuration Manager I did notice that the SQL Server Agent was disabled and when I try to enable it I get "The Process terminated unexpectedly. [0x8007042b]" when providing a service account for the process to run. 

I am seeing errors in the application log 
"SQLServerAgent could not be started (reason: Unable to connect to server '(local)'; SQLServerAgent cannot start)."
"The Open Procedure for service "WmiApRpl" in DLL "C:\Windows\system32\wbem\wmiaprpl.dll" failed. Performance data for this service will not be available. The first four bytes (DWORD) of the Data section contains the error code."
"The Open Procedure for service "Lsa" in DLL "C:\Windows\System32\Secur32.dll" failed. Performance data for this service will not be available. The first four bytes (DWORD) of the Data section contains the error code."
"The Open Procedure for service "ESENT" in DLL "C:\Windows\system32\esentprf.dll" failed. Performance data for this service will not be available. The first four bytes (DWORD) of the Data section contains the error code."

If I uninstall SP3 I am able to login with no issues. Is there anything I can do to attempt to get SP3 to allow SSMS and SQL Server Agent to work correctly for me? 


SQL Server 2005 - SQL Server does not exist or access denied

$

I am attempting to relocate our SQL Server 2005 to a different host. The old host/instance was server\traverse105. The new host/instance is traverse\traverse105.

Local use on the actual server 'traverse' works fine. However, attempting to connect from a Windows 7 client gives me the message, "SQL Server does not exist or access denied." I am attempting the connection with a specific login ID, not a "Trusted Connection" (although that gives me the same error).

I've checked the SQL Server Configuration Manager > Protocols for TRAVERSE105 and the IPAll is set to port 1433; named pipes is enabled and set to \\.\pipe\MSSQL$TRAVERSE105
\sql\query

I can connect from a Linux host to port 1433 and the same user ID I specified in the Windows 7 client and can connect just fine, so I don't think it's a port or firewall issue.

This same Windows 7 client connected to the other server, SERVER, without problem. If I switch back to "SERVER/TRAVERSE105" it connects OK. I can see no Config Mgr difference between the Config Mgr settings on host TRAVERSE and host SERVER.

Need ideas on what's wrong!

SQL Server License for setting up a UAT/Test Instance

$

We have a VM with SQL Server Enterprise Evaluation edition installed and it expires in Jul 2016. Post evaluation we plan to buy the Enterprise license and covert this environment into Production environment.

Meanwhile we want to create another instance on the same VM and use it temporarily to deploy some interim changes and test. This instance to eventually function as a UAT/test environment.

Given this requirement, what version should/can I use to install this instance?

I realize it is best to separate out the 2 environments on 2 separate severs/VMs but at least during this evaluation phase is it fine to use the Enterprise evaluation license and create the 2nd instance?

Does SQL Allow you to patch itself to a version its not ready for?

$
0
0

I'm building a patching system in our environment. In discussion with my team, we were talking about how a CU could be "skipped" and that by adding a later CU you would get the earlier CU. That made sense, until we started thinking through all the circumstances, for instance SQL Server 2012 SP1 CU1 can't be applied on an instance that's on SQL Server 2012 RTM, CU7.  Why?  You'd be skipping SP1.  You would first have to patch the machine from the RTM to SP1, and then apply SP1's CU1.

Assuming what I said is correct, does anyone know if SQL will ALWAYS prevent a QFE/PATCH/SP from being applied out of order?

The reason I'm asking is that we are going to create a database table of patches that are completed on instances, and if something is "skipped" but in reality completed (like going from SP1 CU1 to SP1 CU 5), I need to make hard and fast rules so that I can have a process enter the data in the tables.

SQL Server 2012 Express -> Windows 10 PC installation bug . . .

I have an up-to-date Windows 10 PC. I want to install SQL Server Express 2012. I downloaded these products

1) SQLEXPRADV_x64_ENU

2) SQLEXPRADV_x86_ENU

3) SQLEXPRWT_x64_ENU

4) SQLEXPRWT_x86_ENU

from Microsoft and I tried to individually install them. Each time I tried to individually install these different products, I hit this

No luck - although it looks like other folks have hit this bug, I never saw a solution that worked for my situation and I pretty much hit a wall. I'd like to know how to fix all this and install SQL Server 2K12 on this Win 10 PC.

Cannot See the 'Providers' Folder under Linked Servers

I'm trying to connect to a linked server and I keep getting this error:

"Cannot create an instance of OLE DB provider "PIOLEDB" for linked server "<server name>". (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 7302)

Under 'Linked Servers' shouldn't I have the 'Providers' folder? I don't have this ... so how do I get it because it should have the OLEDB provider so that I can connect to my linked server. I'm running SQL 2012 R2 64-bit. I've installed all the PI drivers on my own machine and I can connect independently to the PI server. I have other people who are not 'sa' who can see the 'Providers' folder and they have absolutely no PI software installed on their desktop machines.

Thanks in advance!

Create Alias for an Instance

$

I need to create an alias for instance on my SQL 2014. I have four other instances on the SQL server.

I used the SQL Server configuration manager to create the alias. I tried to use the management studio to connect but I can't connect. I created the alias under the Aliases (32bit and 64 bit). Used the port listed under TCP Dynamic Ports that is listed (49991) still can't connect. What am I missing? Also what is the setting for the server block? Is it just the server name or the server name\instance name?  Do I need to create both alias for 32 and 64 bit?

How do I uninstall MS SQL Server 2008 Native Client when it fails due to an installer error?

$

When I attempt to uninstall the MS SQL Server 2008 Native Client from a Windows 10 machine I am presented with the error "This action is only valid for products that are currently installed."

I suspect that there was an earlier attempt at uninstalling the client that failed to complete so that there are pieces of the client still left, which is not detected by the Windows installer and prevents the following uninstallation attempts from succeeding. How do I resolve this?

We are planing to move both DB to another drive soon, till then above process marked me correct or C Drive space will not reduce.

Any advise appreciated-

After SQL 2012 SP3 upgrade, unable to connect to SQL Server 2012 Instance using FreeTDS

$

Have a bunch of SQL 2012 instances on Windows Server 2012. Some are at SQL 2012 SP2, some are at SQL 2012 SP3. The ones that have been recently upgraded from SP2 to SP3 are no longer able to connect to thru FreeTDS from a Linux Server (Ubuntu 12.04.5 LTS (GNU/Linux 3.2.0-98-generic x86_64)).

Getting the message...

Error 20017 (severity 9):
Unexpected EOF from the server
OS error 2, "No such file or directory"
Error 20002 (severity 9):
Adaptive Server connection failed


The FreeTDS configuration for the server is:

[<servername>]
host = <servername>
port = <port number>
tds version = 8.0


This has worked fine until upgrading to SQL 2012 SP3. Still connects fine to SQL 2012 SP2 instances.

Please help!

Thanks.

removing instances from SQL Server

Hello, we would like to delete three instances from our SQL Server.

What is the best and safest way to do this - this is production, and using the Add/Remove Programs seems not necessarily the safest thing to do on a production box.

Is that the preferred method, or is there another method ?

Thank you,


John

Install SQL Server 2012 in Windows Server 2012 R2 template

$
0
0

As a part of standardize environment, we are creating templates in virtual environment and once there is requirements from projects, we will create Virtual machines from these templates and deliver them. In turn this will save lot of time in installation& configuration.

So in this template, we have installed SQL server 2012 and then created Virtual machines.

We saw a strange behavior, resource who installed SQL server has access to these server but despite of providing permission for Sys Admin, we are not able to login to SQL Management Studio & that particular resource is.

And then when we connected template, we found that newly created VM & template are referring to same instance of SQL server and users we added in VM are also displaying in template.

So it seems either pre installation of SQL server is not possible in template OR we are missing something.

If pre install is not possible then can you please suggest approach to fulfill this requirement. One can be using PowerShell script to install SQL server after VM is created.

Thanks for your help in advance.

How to restore SQL Server 2014 database from .MDF and .LDF files after uninstall/reinstall of SQL Server

$

I was forced to reset my computer after installing Windows 10. (Kept files--reloaded apps.)

Have reinstalled SQL Server 2014.

I see that my database files from previous installation are in folder C:\Windows.old\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL12.SQL2014DEV\MSSQL\DATA.

But I can't figure out how to use the .MDF and .LDF files in this folder to recreate the databases in the new server instance.

Thanks!
