Install Error - SQL SERVER 2012

$
0
0

Hello,

I'm installing SQL Server 2012 but the install doesn't even start.

I've searched on web and here but I don't find an answer which fit to my problem.

I've Visual Studio Ultimate 2012 too but with or without, the install don't start.

I never had SQL Server on this machine (no uninstall).

It's not a compressed install too.

I've made some screenshots but I can't show them...


The error :

The SQL Server license agreement cannot be located for the selected edition, STANDARD.

Thanks for helping me :)


SQL Server 2012 Standalone Setup

Hi,

I'm setting up two new SQL 2012 SP1 Standart Edition on two brand new VM's.

Setup goes smoothly until I select all the components and then I press Next.  The setup seems freezes showing "Please Wait":

Looking at the setup log I'm finding a error that never seen before and that I'm not able to find any valid references on the internet:

Cannot enable Database Mail XP

$
0
0

I'm trying to turn on Database Mail.

I set the flag in db_config, did the reconfigure, and for good measure stop/started SQL Service (and thereby SQL Agent service too) [and I have since rebooted the server]. I have created a Profile (which I think is correctly set up)

If I try to send a test email I get

"SQL Server blocked access to procedure 'dbo.sp_send_dbmail' of component 'Database Mail XPs' because this component is turned off as part of the security configuration for this server. A system administrator can enable the use of 'Database Mail XPs' by using sp_configure. For more information about enabling 'Database Mail XPs', see "Surface Area Configuration" in SQL Server Books Online"

EXEC sp_configure 'Database Mail XPs'
GO

gives:
name              minimum     maximum     config_value run_value   
----------------- ----------- ----------- ------------ -----------
Database Mail XPs 0 1 1 1

so it appears that the setting is indeed set.

SELECT is_broker_enabled FROM sys.databases WHERE name = 'msdb'

gives 1

EXEC msdb.sys.sp_helprolemember 'DatabaseMailUserRole'

gives:

DbRole MemberName MemberSID
-------------------- --------------------------- -------------------------------
DatabaseMailUserRole Certificate_UseDBMail_Login 0x010600000000000901000000F6...
(my login is sysadmin, so should be OK unless I have done something goofy)

EXECUTE dbo.sysmail_help_status_sp

gives the same "'Database Mail XPs' ... component is turned off" error above.

I also, latterly, set "SQL Mail XPs", but that hasn't made any difference either

@@VERSION =
Microsoft SQL Server 2008 (SP2) - 10.0.4067.0 (X64)

EDIT:
Microsoft SQL Server Standard Edition (64-bit)
O/S = Microsoft Windows NT 6.1 (7601)
Is clustered = False

(Not the latest SP, I'm arranging for that to be installed in case that brings a solution, but that needs scheduled downtime which will be a while obtaining)

Thanks


Can't install CU7, wrong versions being reported

$

If I check the properties of my SQL 2012 Standard server it shows the Version as 11.0.3381.0 which matches the CU6 level as shown here:

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2772858

However, when I try to install the CU7 update I receive the following message:

The version of SQL Server instance MSSQLSERVER does not match the version expected by the SQL Server update. The installed SQL Server product version is 1.1.3000.0 and the expected SQL Server version is 11.0.2100.60.

Just below this message it shows a Patch Level of 11.1.3381.0

None of these numbers show up anywhere in the build list at the above link. No idea why this is happening but right now I'm unable to install CU7. Any help would be most appreciated.

Thank you!

Upgrade from SQL 2008 with mirror to SQL 2012 with always on

I have a SQL Server 2008 with mirror configured on it.

I'm planning to upgrade to 2012 as rolling upgrade. this way I will end up with mirror on 2012.

Now I need to configure the AG on the always on.

Can I  stop the mirror process and then add the mirrored DB to the AG as is, or do  I need to rebuild the mirrored replica from scratch?

AlwaysOn - Cluster Quorum and Manual Failover

Should I consider the cluster quorum in any way if I'm planning to implement only manual failover to my Availability group?

As far as I understood the cluster quorum is relevant only for automatic failover. am I right?

Hi. 

I have this error during installation SqlEngineConfigAction_install_confignonrc_Cpu64 (component of SQL 2014 CTP2) on virtual machine (Windows Server 2012 Standart). Logs in Event Viewer are clean. And I have no idea, what can I do with such problem. Maybe, you know and can help me?

Later in Event Viewer appears such message (maybe this message can help to resolve this problem):

Activation context generation failed for "c:\program files (x86)\microsoft sql server\120\Tools\Binn\managementstudio\CopyDatabaseWizard.exe".Error in manifest or policy file "c:\program files (x86)\microsoft sql server\120\Tools\Binn\managementstudio\CopyDatabaseWizard.exe" on line 8.

SQL Server 2012 installation issues

$

0

Hi,

The other day I installed SQL Server Express 2012 as a new instance (I already have an Express 2008r2 instance, which continues to work), using SQLEXPRADV_x64_ENU.exe from MS site. This seemed to work well and I restored some databases to the instance and also wrote some SSRS reports against it. So all seemed well. When I rebooted my computer two SQL Server updates automatically downloaded and failed to install (KB2716442 and KB2674319), unfortunately I did not know they had failed and on next reboot the following update was added KB2793634 and it also failed.

Now SQL Server 2012 is left in a script stage and I cannot access it. I have tried uninstalling SQL Server but I now get a message Remote Procedure Call Failed: Error Code:0x84BB0001.

So I'm stuck with a SQL server instance that I cannot use or uninstall, has anyone got any ideas on how to move forward.This is the Summary.txt output and this is thelog output folder

I'd be happy just to clear it all down and start again!

regards,

Anthony


tables are deleted but database size does not change in sql server 2008r2

Hi All,

20GB Tables are deleted in my database but database size does not change and disk size showing same size.

Database Logs Growing Out of Control even though backed up hourly

$

We have 3 main databases.  Data file on one drive (10.5Gb, 15Gb and 13Gb in size). The logs are on separate drives. Each db is backed up full each morning and the logs are backed up hourly. It is only 3PM and the logs are now 17Gb, 6.7Gb and 6.1Gb). How could 1 database that is only 10.5 Gb in size have a log that is 17Gb in only 6 hours since it was last backed up. I noticed this yesterday and actually shrunk each log to see what they would be today.

My backups of the db and logs are identical as they were on SQL 2005 but now on this server it's out of hand.  They never, every grew like this.  The applications have not changed. 

I ran DBCC SQLPERF(Logspace) and only 0.3 is being used of the 17Gb. It is showing that the last backup was at 3PM EST. 

Our backups are also getting all of this data added to it.  Starts out under 10Gb for the first one and now sits at 26Gb.  How could a 10Gb database have a 26Gb backup in the same day?

Errors while installing SQL Server 2008 on Windows XP

Hello All,

I have a Windows XP machine which earlier had SQL Server 2008 R2. I wanted to install BizTalk Server 2009 on the machine which runs only on SQL 2008 so I uninstalled SQL 2008 R2 from the machine and deleted some registry entries and all too.

Now when I try to install SQL 2008 developer version I get the below error in the start:

If I press continue and the setup starts but after the setup support files nothing happens and the setup vanishes. There is no entry in the eventlog too for this.

I can see there are some SQL Entries in the Add\Remove Programs but I am not able to uninstall them as the option for the same is not available. The screenshot of the same is below:

Please suggest how I can install SQL on my machine? I cant format the machine as this is a client machine.

Hi,

Can i add a sql server 2012 node to a sql server 2008 R2 cluster?

I got the "yes" answer from Microsoft SQL Server Sales, but when i wanted to add the sql server 2012 node to an existing sql server 2008 r2 cluster,the setup can't find the sql server 2008 R2 cluster instance. 

So i doubt whether this is true or not feasible, many thanks.
