We have SQL Server 2014 installed on a couple servers, but they were not consistent on directory paths during the installs. I am trying to get the servers to all match.

On one server, SQL Server the Agent Log and Job History files were being written to [H:\Data Root Directory\MSSQL12.MSSQLSERVER\MSSQL\Log].

I want to change that to [H:\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL12.MSSQLSERVER\MSSQL\Log] to match the other server.

I have ALREADY gone into SSMS - [SQL Server Agent] - [Properties] and changed the "Error Log " "Fle Name" to [H:\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL12.MSSQLSERVER\MSSQL\Log\SQLAGENT.OUT].  And that is working great.

In [SQL Server Configuration Manager] - [SQL Server (MSSQLSERVER)] - [Properties] - Startup Parameters entries have been changed to the new path (-d, -e, and -l), and under [Advanced] both Data Path and Dump Directory are pointing to the new path. 

In [SQL Server Configuration Manager] - [SQL Server Agent (MSSQLSERVER)] - [Properties] - [Advanced] Dump Directory is pointing to the new path. 

However, the job's History text files are still being written to the old path.

There is no setting in the Jobs or the Maintenance Plans that controls the history file location.

I have searched the registry and changed three settings from the old path to the new path.  The registry does NOT contain any more references to the old path.

I rebooted the server, but when the jobs run their history text files are still be written to the old path.

Does anybody have any ideas??   Thanks

Hey all,

Working with a brand new environment. During install (both SQL 2012 and 2014) on any one of four servers, they all fail on the service accounts page with a "RPC server is unavailable" error and "The SQL Server service account login or password is not valid."

I've verified that RPC server is unavailable is related to only the agent, and the account invalid is only for the engine. Verified this by trying each one separately and putting the other back to default. For the latter (account login or password is not valid), that's definitely not accurate being that I can use that account & password successfully elsewhere.

The best article I've found so far is here - http://sqlwithmanoj.com/tag/the-rpc-server-is-unavailable/.

I've verified all 5 are in place and changed the group policy. Still errors out every time. Even if I can fix the RPC issue, not sure what's wrong with the engine account? I think both issues still stem back to the RPC, even though the engine doesn't report it in the setup. In the detail log, I'm assuming "Slp: Sco.User.OpenRoot - root DirectoryEntry object already opened for this computer for this object" is the core of my problem.

Here's a full output of a failed run:

Im trying to create a new login on my local instance of Sql Server 2008 Express(SQLEXPRESS) for IIS 7.5 worker process to use for database access to a custom database.

I type in "IIS AppPool\DefaultAppPool" in the "SELECT USER OR GROUP" dialog then click on "Check name" and it transforms the name to an underlined "DefaultAppPool". Then I click "Ok" and it says "User or Group was not found".  Am I using the right name for an IIS 7.5 worker process account? Please help. Thanks.

Hi all

I am trying to follow the instructions in the following link...

technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms143755(v=sql.105).aspx

...to install support for DTS packages - when it says on the Feature Selection page, select Integration Services - none of the installs I have tried show this as an option - what should I be installing in order to see this and get this feature installed?

I just need to be able to view some DTS packages - help!

Thank you! James

Hi All,

I am using Windows 8.1 (64-bit) and is aware that it is not supported.

Hello,
Using the msdn subscription, we have downloaded the enterprise edition of sql server 2014.
Is this download the production or the development licenced server? I mean are we now allowed to install it onto our production sql server machine?

Thanks

Hi

I am having issues with a SQL server with a high running CPU.  To track the problematic SPID's I use process explorer to show the threads that are using a large amount of CPU within the sqlservr.exe process, and then map the Thread ID to the SPID using the following code

USE
MASTER
GO
Select
SPID from sysprocesses where kpid=7557
GO

This morning there were TID's with noticeably high numbers and when I tried to map them to a SPID no results were returned.

Does anyone know why these high running threads weren't mapped to a SPID?

Cheers

Alex

This morning I attempted to connect to my local copy of SQL Server (2012) (Win 7) using Windows Authentication. I was unable to do so and per the error log it was due to error 18456 (invalid credentials).

Yesterday I changed my windows password. Is it possible for this to be the cause?

FYI, following is from the error logs:

2015-04-27 10:10:32.98 Backup      BACKUP DATABASE successfully processed 0 pages in 0.451 seconds (0.000 MB/sec).

2015-04-28 17:09:59.87 Server      SQL Server is terminating because of a system shutdown. This is an informational message only. No user action is required.

The logs showed the error occurred yesterday (4/28) which is about when I changed my password. The 17:09 log (last one) is when I shut down my computer.  Note that I was logged into SQL Server when I changed my Windows password and worked with it several times through out the day.

Also, per the configuration manager SQL Server (MSSQLSERVER) (and all other services) is stopped and I was unable to start it ("The request failed or the service did not respond in a timely fashion).

Thanks for any help.

Hello forum

I am attempting to build an execute script as a part of a wider process.  essentially data is imported into a temporary table and then exported via bcp; so in order to capture the column headings I am using a cursor to build a string and then execute it.  However, if I "PRINT" the script the script is correct, but if I "EXECUTE" either with EXECUTE or sp_executesql, the script is incorrect.

Here is the Code: -

Set

@ColNameScript =(Select'Select ')

Set

@TotalCol =(Selectcount(*)from syscolumnswhere idin(select idfrom sysobjectswherename='voltemp'))

Set

@CurrentCol=1

Declare

Column_Curs Cursorforselectnamefrom syscolumnswhere idin(select idfrom sysobjectswherename='voltemp')

Open

Column_Curs

Fetch

NextFrom Column_CursInto @ColumnName

While

@@Fetch_Status=0

Begin

IF @CurrentCol<> @TotalCol

BEGIN

Set @ColNameScript=(Select @ColNameScript+ '^'+ @ColumnName+'^'+' AS ['+ @ColumnName+'],')

END

IF @CurrentCol= @TotalCol

BEGIN

Set @ColNameScript=(Select @ColNameScript+ '^'+ @ColumnName+'^'+ ' AS ['+ @ColumnName+'] INTO COLNAMETEMP')

END

FetchNextFrom Column_CursInto @ColumnName

Set @CurrentCol=@CurrentCol+1

End

Close

Column_Curs

Deallocate

Column_Curs

SELECT

REPLACE(@ColNameScript,'^','''')

PRINT

@ColNameScript

EXECUTE

@ColNameScript;

If I comment out the EXECUTE command the script is printed as thus: -

Select

'territoryName'AS [territoryName],'organisation'AS [organisation],'displayname'AS [displayname],'URN'AS [URN],'vacancyid'AS [vacancyid],'jobtitle'AS [jobtitle],'Displayfrom'AS [Displayfrom],'displayto'AS [displayto],'date'AS [date],'Advert/vacancytype'AS [Advert/vacancytype],'Type(s) of Work'AS [Type(s) of Work],'status'AS [status],'PageViews'AS [PageViews],'Total Interaction'AS [Total Interaction],'Advert Run'AS [Advert Run],'Job Live Days'AS [Job Live Days],'Click through rate'AS [Click through rate],'Days to go'AS [Days to go],'Clicks per day'AS [Clicks per day]INTO COLNAMETEMP

If I include the EXECUTE command the script is printed as thus: -

Select

^territoryName^AS [territoryName],^organisation^AS [organisation],^displayname^AS [displayname],^URN^AS [URN],^vacancyid^AS [vacancyid],^jobtitle^AS [jobtitle],^Displayfrom^AS [Displayfrom],^displayto^AS [displayto],^date^AS [date],^Advert/vacancytype^AS [Advert/vacancytype],^Type(s)of Work^AS [Type(s) of Work],^status^AS [status],^PageViews^AS [PageViews],^Total Interaction^AS [Total Interaction],^Advert Run^AS [Advert Run],^Job Live Days^AS [Job Live Days],^Click through rate^AS [Click through rate],^Daysto go^AS [Days to go],^Clicks per day^AS [Clicks per day]INTO COLNAMETEMP

SQL Server version is 2005 Standard Edition SP4.

Hi!

We need to move a 300gb sql db from a 2005 server to a 2012 server.

The database is in simple rec mode.

It exist only in Prod env.. :/

Downtime is allowed, but I would like to get some thought about the method to do this with minimum downtime.

I tried with a backup/restore, and I guess you understand already, it took about 8 hours until the db was restored .. :P

Thanks in advance.

Over the next several months we will be deploying a new virtual PROD/DRS/Test system for one of our customers. Each DB Server has 6 cores. Our procurement department purchased EMBD SQL SVR ENT 2014 EMB ESD OEI 4 CORE ENT for each DB Server. They also purchased EMBD SQL SVR ENT 2014 EMB ESD OEI 2 CORE ADDTNL LIC ENT to cover the 6 cores for each server.

We activated the 4 core, but we are not sure how the 2 core additional works. Does the 2 core have to be activated on the servers as well and if so how do you activate the 2 core as it is just a set of numbers.

Thank You,

Margaret

Hi,

We are developing an application for a customer and we were wondering if our licensing approach is correct.

As you can see on the topology image below, we have several nodes who connect using a self developed application, to the self developpedapplication server or communication server.

1 application server can have multiple nodes connected at the same time off course.

This application server, uses only 1 connection to the SQL server.

Our question now is:

a) do we need to provide every node a CAL, even if they are not communicating directly to the SQL server?

OR

b) do we need to provide only the application servers a CAL, since he is the only one that has contact with the SQL server directly?

When I attempt to install sql server 2008 r2 sp3 I get caspol.exe - Fatal error.  Unable to load Jit Compiler:(mscorjit.dll): file may be missing or corrupt.  Please check or rerun setup.  Then after I click ok I get the Microsoft Windows popup that says Microsoft .NET Framework CAS Policy Manager has stopped working.  This is on a Windows 2008 Enterprise Server, service pack 2.  I am wondering if my .NET Framework had become corrupt on the server.  Any ideas?  This has been on a stable production sql server that has been running fine for many years.

Thanks for reading my post.
