Hello. I'm aware that SQL Server 2008 R2 is supported on Windows Server 2012 with SP1 or higher. Is anyone currently running SQL 08 R2 on Server 2012? Any noticeable pros or cons vs running on Win Server 2008 R2? Any performance increase from using Win Server 2012? If you were standing up a new SQL 2008 R2 server today, would you build it as Win Server 2008 R2 or Win Server 2012 and why?

Just looking for opinions and thoughts from others.

What's the proper way to uninstall SQL Server 2012 Enterprise Edition - per core?

I've read that you should use Add and Remove Programs.  A SQL veteran tells me you should uninstall it using the SQL setup program.

I downloaded the .img file from MS Volume licensing site.  Installed it on MS Windows Standard Server 2008 R2 SP1 64bit side by side with SQL 2005 Enterprise Edition.

Can it be uninstalled using the SQL 2012 setup program?

And can it be uninstalled from the cmd line?

I've tried to install Microsoft® SQL Server® 2008 Express with Advanced Services many times and I keep receiving the following error message.  I'm using this for learning purposes on my personal PC and I'm running Vista.

The following error has occurred:

Wait on the Database Engine recovery handle failed. Check the SQL Server error log for potential causes.

There's no help for this one - see below.

Hi Guys,

            I hope to getoverall memory consumed by SQL Server 2012(installed in a is 64 bit windows 2008 R2),but when I looked at the result from dbcc memorystatus,  I'm a little confused: VMCommitted is only 32812KB, AWE allocated(locked pages for 64 bit OS): 1009736KB, Current Committed :1042024 KB.

            How can I get theoverall memory usedby SQL Server from below result?  Thanks

When I removed a database with 399M file size, the result(coming after several minutes) is shown as below: all of VM committed, AWE Allocated, and Current Committed are increased?  Why they are increased?

Could someone share how you read this result? you are really appreciated.

I just tried to create a maintenance plan on a SQL Server 2012 instance (build 11.0.3349), but I receive this error:
"TITLE: Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio

This was already working on my system. I recently had to install .NET Framework 4.5 for VS 2012. Maybe it corrupted anything?

C:\Windows\system32>regsvr32 "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\110\DTS\Binn\DTS.dll" did not help for this issue.

Does anybody have an idea what's wrong here?

Thanks, Klaus

I have inherited a SBS 2003 server at my new job that had many issues. I have finally gotten the server cleaned up for the most part, but I cannot seem to get SQL 2005 SP4 and SQL 2008 SP3 to install. I have followed the KB on restoring missing cache and windows installer files, I have tried to run repairs and everything I try fails . We have several databases in SQL that run our production floor, and I need to resolve these errors. 

Here is the summary.txt from SQL 2008

I beleive that Both 2008 and 2005 are unable to find their proper source code from the installations, unfortunately I have none of the original media that these programs were installed with. I do have the license\product key for SQL 2008, but no where to download that particular version of the product with. Please let me know if there are more log files that are needed to help narrow down this issue. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Tengo que actualizar la edición SQL Server Enterprise 2008 R2 EVALUATION que esta por expirar.

Necesito saber si  actualizando a la edicion pagada se me sobreescriben las bases de datos que ya tengo creadas. Necesitaré restaurarlas luego del upgrade?

Muchas gracias por sus respuestas.

hi.,

how to upgrade sql server 2005 to 2008?

And send me screen shots also please any one 

Iam fresher 

What type of questions asking upgrade & Migrade

Send me  

Having some issues where after downloading the 2008 sql server developer r2 from the licensing website.  When I click on the setup.exe file I get this message. This SQL Server Setup media is not supported on a X64 system. To continue, run the SQl Server Setup media that matches your system.

There is only 1 download in the licensing center so I dont know where the other media would be.  If I extract the files to another folder and than click the setup.exe file the dos window pops up for a second but it doesn't install.

Anyone know of what I am doing wrong or why I am getting that error message?  This is all very new to me, with 2005 I bought a cd and installed from that but this is a new pc and wanted to take advantage of some of the additional features 2008 has.  Operating system is windows 7 pro 64 bit.

Thanks in advance,

Sal

Hi,

I am trying to make my SQL Server 2005 a little more secure by using a non-standard static port.  I have already disabled the sa account, but I'm still getting hit at least once a second with an attempt to login to my server from a potential attacker so I thought using a static, non-standard port would do the trick. 

I stopped the SQL Browser service, left the port number unspecified for the IP1 and IP2 entries in the SQL Server Configuration Tool and set a non-standard port for IPAll. I thought that was all I needed to do.

I'm using a .NET website to test the connection.  I left my connection string in the web.config alone, so I was expecting I would get a login failure when the website attempted to connect to the database.  Without a port number specified in the connection string, it should attempt to connect using the default port and fail, right?  But, I'm still able to gain access to the website.

I made sure to restart the SQL Service after making changes.  Also, I have verified that the SQL Browser service is not running.  Is there any additional information I need to provide?

Thanks in advance for your time.

David

Can I add source cotrol in SSMS?

I am doing atest of what happens if model database .dmf and .ldf files are mssing. I tried to do a reapir from installatio CD but it failed that it cannot find model.mdf file... Then waht is the puprose of reparite.

Since my master database and msdb databases are intact and I have backups of model database; how can bring my sql server 2008 instance up. I have read many article son internet but nothing works. When I try to rebuid master database, it gives some error;

2013-03-24 02:08:59 Slp:
2013-03-24 02:08:59 Slp: Error result: -2068643838
2013-03-24 02:08:59 Slp: Result facility code: 1203
2013-03-24 02:08:59 Slp: Result error code: 2

But I should not have rebuild master database because master database and msdb databases are intact. errorlog only shows problem with model database.

I've tried installing Security Update for SQL Server 2005 Service Pack 4 (KB2716427) to our SQL Server 2005 Server which is currently runing 9.0.5292, but it fails.

It manages to install the Integration Services and Tools, but Database services fails to install with this message:

Looking in HotFix.Log I can see:

And then in the actual sql.msp.log file itself:

I can't see any other relevant error messages - I have a 7MB Log file but it's not at all clear what is causing the error. Any ideas?

For some reason there is a difference between the WMI call I am making remotely (win32_process create metod with identity impersonate) and executing it as that same user while logged in. I ran the WMI command with just a whoami and it shows up as the administrator account I expect it to run as. When I copy and paste this cmd into a command prompt and execute it works fine logged in as the administrator account.

Here is the cmd:

Hello,

I'm trying to install MS SQL 2008 R2 Express unattended as part of a setup for a new application. I'm from Austria, so our target machines have the default language setting "Deutsch (Österreich)" - "German (Austria)". SQL-Setup failes with the well-known message "SQL Server setup media does not support the language of the OS or does not have ENU localized files. Use the matching language-specific SQL Server media or change the OS locale through Control Panel."

My question: How can I change the OS locale through code (C# / C++ / whatever) during the setup to get it working? Which settings must be changed?

Please help!
