Peace be upon you,

I use visual studio 2013 and sql server 2014,and when I want to make a connection from visual studio with sql server 2014

it doesn't work and a massage appear: (unable to add data connection.could not loud file or assembly'microsoft.sql.server.Sdk.Sfc, version=11.0.0.0,culture=neutral, publickeyToken=89845dcd8080cc91' or one of its dependencies.the system cannot find the file specified.)

I've been trying to install SQL Server 2008 R2 x64 Developer Edition on Windows 7 x64 Enterprise edition since shortly after R2 was released.  Initially I was blocked by the ENU localization problem (http://connect.microsoft.com/SQLServer/feedback/details/557556/sql-server-2008-r2-setup-has-encountered-an-error), but I recently revisited this and overwriting the setup.rll with the Evaluation edition version worked around it.

Now I am getting stopped by the above error (setup "attempted to perform an unauthorized operation") roughly halfway through the setup process.  The setup log Details.txt indicates that the issue is Inner exception type: System.UnauthorizedAccessException during a ReplaceAccountWithSidInSddl (Attempting to replace account with sid in security descriptor) operation at Microsoft.SqlServer.Configuration.Sco.InternalRegistryKey.SetSecurityDescriptor, apparently in or around the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server subkey.  This error is occurring during a fresh install, but I've also tried installing SQL Server 2008 (installed with no problem) and then upgrading to R2, with the same error.  I've been running Setup as administrator, and Data Execution Prevention is turned off except for essential Windows components.  I've tried using Process Monitor to see which subkeys are being accessed, but all the ones I see seem to have full control assigned to administrators, which should allow setup to do what it needs to do.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, as this has now taken up multiple days of working time and there doesn't seem to be anything on the Web matching this issue.

Thanks in advance,

Brian

I'm trying to install SQL Server 2008 Developer edition on my laptop running Windows XP Professional SP2.  I ran the installer as a domain user with admin rights to the local box.  The installation advisor program certified that my system was ready for the install, but nevertheless I had to uninstall SQL Server 2005 Express edition and install .NET framework 3.5 SP1 first.  Once that was done, the installer finished, having successfully installed all the components of SQL Server 2008 except for the core database engine.  It failed with this error message: Attempted to perform an unauthorized operation.

I uninstalled SQL Server 2008 and reinstalled with the same results.

Below is a snippet from my C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\100\Setup Bootstrap\Log\20081014_203925\Detail.txt which seems like it may be relevant.

Can anyone offer any assistance?  Would be greatly appreciated.

Hi All,

Am creating a new test server by cloning the production server. Creating Dbs by restoring the production backup but wondering is there any best way to update the linked server names in open query of few SPs other than manual checking and updating.

Thanks,

Hi there,

On my DEV SQL Server - suddenly the logs have been filling up space so quickly - this morning I increased 10 GIGs and now it is full again just in a few hours.

What action should I take?
- Is it okay to switch Recovery Model from Full to Simple? (It is DEV server)
- Anything else?

Thanks.

I installed visual Studio as a student in a visual basic course. SQL Server 2008 was included with this install. I did not name this instance at the time of install. I have another version of sql server 2008 R2 and I am trying to include all of the latest packages for this edition. I downloaded all necessary upgrades from the Microsoft site, but the version that shows in the management studio does not reflect the most recent version. How do I make sure the downloads apply to the 2008 r2 version and reflect the most recent edition in management studio?

Can we install SQL server 2012 Enterprise Edition 64 Bit and Standard Edition 64 Bit on Same machine - Standalone

Can we install SQL server 2012 Enterprise Edition 64 Bit and Standard Edition 64 Bit on Same 2 node Clustered machines

Goal: To upgrade my default instance from SQL Server 2012 to SQL Server 2014 in a failover cluster.

Given:

1) Operating System Windows 2012 R2

2) 2 Virtual Machines in a cluster with SQL Server as a Guest Cluster resource.  The two VMS are called APPS08 and APPS09.  They are our development environment that is setup similar to our production environment.

Problem:  When running the SQL Server 2014 upgrade, I started on the VM that was not running the instance.  I then moved onto upgrading on the node that was running the instance.  As soon as the install attempt to failover the running instance an install error occurred that it could not failover.  After many install attempts I consistently received the errorThe SQL Server Failover cluster instance name 'Dev01'
already exists as a cluster resource.  Opening Failover cluster manager there is no record of a DEV01.

New Strategy:  Create a SQLCluster called DEV07.  At the end of the Install I get 'Resource for instance 'MSSQLSERVER' should not exists.  Neither I nor my Windows 2012 guy understand what Resource the install may be referring to.   We do not see anything out of the ordinary.

Any suggestions as to what Resource may be seeing the default instance would be greatly appreciated.

Folks,

I am planning to use sqlserver 2012 Enterprise edition software and  i am in the process of procuring the per core License for the same.I would take 1 to 2 monts for quote ,discussions,License ,delivery of the product .

Now i am in need to Install the sqlserver 2012 software urgently,and i am thinking of to download Evaluation Edition and once i received the Licensed product key i will upgrade to Enterprise edition.Does this a Valid Approach.

If this is not ,please suggest how i can download and use the sqlserver 2012 Enterprise edition with AlwaysOn avaialbility Groups software.

Thanks

Hi,

I installed my first 2012 SP2 sql server very early this morning. And in the admin user section of the setup, I told it to use the user group domain admins for the moment for the administrators. Installation does not complain at all, proceeds on its merry way and installs perfectly.

Now, launch SSMS in normal mode, try to authenticate with windows creds. It refuses to connect. You need to launch it into admin mode, use the same creds and it works.

So... I must have missed something in how to setup SQL Server or I am missing something on how it does the authentication. Anyone could point me to the associated resource ?

Thanks

I have been trying to find the query window in SQL Server 2008 Express.  I've been using SSMSE 2005 Express from a Start Menu button called "SQL Server Management Studio Express."  So far I have installed Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 RTM - Express with Management Tools, and also Microsoft® SQL Server® 2008 Management Studio Express, and finally SQL Server 2008 Express Service Pack 3.  These are all the "86" installs for Windows 7, 32-bit, for example "SQLManagementStudio_x86_ENU.exe."  However I still can't find a button to open an application that will allow me to run queries.  All the Start Menu buttons I have now are Microsoft SQL Server 2008 - Configuration Tools, Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 - Import and Export Data (32-bit), andMicrosoft SQL Server 2008 R2 - Configuration Tools.  The "Installed SQL Server features discovery report" shows nothing installed, but I've seen others say the same thing, so I'm not sure that's even working properly. 

All I'm really trying to do is connect to a pre-existing SQL Server 2008 database on another server from my computer, and bounce SQL queries off of it.  Also it would be nice if there were an "Enterprise Manager" application such as I used to have with SQL Server 2000 that would actually graphically help write the queries. 

Can somebody help me unwind this?  Thank you.

i recently had SQL Management studio 2012. i dont often need to use the software but when i did i realised it stopped opening. i needed it to run because my password expired. anyway, it refused to open. i thought re-installing it would help. it didnt. once i tried to install it again this message popped up.

Hi,

I'm attempting to install SQL2014 on a SurfacePro3 running Win 8.1.  Despite much searching I've not found anything that gets me past this problem.

I've tried:

• Uninstalling a update KB2918614 which was highlighted as a potential issue
• The login is the only account on the machine (not networked)
• Used "Run as Administrator"
• Even tried setting up a new User Account not linked to MS
• Run from the SETUP.EXE in the extracted files (with "Run As Admin")

The Summary log is below:

Hallo,

Weet iemand hoe ik mijn database upgrade van 2008 naar 2012?

I am trying to install SQL Server Express 2008 R2 but it keeps failing .

The computer is Windows 7 x64, all the latest service packs and updates installed. The application is by Greatland, called Yearli (formerly called WinFiler). Last year’s WinFiler, which was installed on this PC, used SQL 2008 Express (x86). This year’s version is using R2 and attempted to install a new database. I have since uninstalled last year’s database.

When I run the Yearli install, it first attempts to install SQL Express 2008 R2, but the install fails with this error at the end of ERRORLOG:

Error: 15209, Severity: 16, State: 1. "An error occurred during encryption."

I have been researching this for days.  What I have done so far, based on MSKB and other user posts, is the following:

-      Changed the account for the SQL service from Local System to NETWORK SERVICE. 

-      Add NETWORK SERVICE to the “Protect” folder with Full permission added.

Neither of these have worked.  SQL appears to be installed, but the service will not start.

In the Windows System log I get this message:

The SQL Server (WFP_SS8E) service terminated with service-specific error The specified resource name cannot be found in the image file..

In the Windows Application log I get this message:

FileMgr::StartLogFiles: Operating system error 2(The system cannot find the file specified.) occurred while creating or opening file 'e:\sql10_main_t.obj.x86fre\sql\mkmastr\databases\objfre\i386\MSDBLog.ldf'. Diagnose and correct the operating system error, and retry the operation.

The App log error is interesting because there is no E: drive on the system.

SFC /Scannow came up clean.

I don’t have any other ideas, so if anyone else does, I’d appreciate it.
