Hello people,

I'm attempting to install SQL Server 2012 Express from command line with silent mode, this installation is embedded with a console application:

static void Main(string[] args)
{
    Console.WriteLine("Old instances count: " + Tools.GetLocalSqlServerInstanceNames().Count);
    string SetupDirectory = System.IO.Path.GetDirectoryName(Assembly.GetEntryAssembly().Location);
    string sqlSetupFileName ="SQLEXPR_x86_ENU.exe";

    if (System.IO.File.Exists(SetupDirectory + @"\" + sqlSetupFileName))
    {
        string command = "SQLEXPR_x86_ENU";
        string argument = string.Format("/X: \"{0}\\SQLEXPRESSSTUP\", SetupDirectory);
        int resu = Tools.ExecuteCommand(command, argument);

        if (resu == 0)
        {
            argument = "";
            argument += " " + "/ACTION=Install";
            argument += " " + "/FEATURES=SQLEngine";
            argument += " " + "/INSTANCENAME=SQLEXPRESS";
            argument += " " + "/Q";
            argument += " " + "/HIDECONSOLE";
            argument += " " + "/SECURITYMODE=SQL";
            argument += " " + "/SAPWD=dotsquare";
            //argument += " " + "/SQLSVCACCOUNT=" + System.Security.Principal.WindowsIdentity.GetCurrent().Name;Environment.UserDomainName
            argument += " " + "/SQLSVCACCOUNT=" + Environment.UserDomainName + @"\" + "LocalSystem";
            //argument += " " + "/SQLSVCPASSWORD=\"StrongPassword\"";
            argument += " " + "/AddCurrentUserAsSQLAdmin";
            argument += " " + "/IACCEPTSQLSERVERLICENSETERMS=True";

            try
            {
                System.Diagnostics.Process processObj = System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(SetupDirectory + @"\SQLEXPRESSSTUP\Setup.exe", argument);
                do
                {
                    //refresh the process
                    processObj.Refresh();
                } while (!processObj.WaitForExit(1000));

                Console.WriteLine("Process exited with {0}!", processObj.ExitCode);
            }
            catch
            {
                Console.WriteLine("An error has occured!");
            }
        }
        else
        {
            Console.WriteLine("Extraction failed, please try again !");
        }
    }
    else
    {
        Console.WriteLine("SQL Setup is not found !");
    }

    Console.ReadKey();
}

This program extracts and fires up the SQL Server Express setup but it fails when it reaches the service accounts step. I want to use any other account to pass the step and complete the setup.

Please help.

I'm attempting to install a two-node SQL cluster over a Windows Cluster. The windows cluster is up and running and all set. When I run the SQL Server installation wizard, on the Data Directory screen, when using an SMB share, I type \\FS\BBDB, I get the error message reading that the setup account needs to SESECURITY privilege in the target file server.

Now, simple enough, right? Problem is, the setup account DOES have sesecurity privilege already. Not only that, but, the setup account is also:

-A domain admin

-An enterprise admin

-A local admin in both the source and the target machines

-Has full rights to both the share, as well as the NTFS folder

-It also has all the following rights per accesschk sys internals utility:

SeSecurityPrivilege
SeBackupPrivilege
SeRestorePrivilege
SeSystemtimePrivilege
SeShutdownPrivilege
SeRemoteShutdownPrivilege
SeTakeOwnershipPrivilege
SeDebugPrivilege
SeSystemEnvironmentPrivilege
SeSystemProfilePrivilege
SeProfileSingleProcessPrivilege
SeIncreaseBasePriorityPrivilege
SeLoadDriverPrivilege
SeCreatePagefilePrivilege
SeIncreaseQuotaPrivilege
SeUndockPrivilege
SeManageVolumePrivilege
SeImpersonatePrivilege
SeCreateGlobalPrivilege
SeTimeZonePrivilege
SeCreateSymbolicLinkPrivilege
SeChangeNotifyPrivilege
SeInteractiveLogonRight
SeNetworkLogonRight
SeBatchLogonRight
SeRemoteInteractiveLogonRight
SeIncreaseWorkingSetPrivilege

-UAC is deactivated in the target file server. Not only I brought the lever down all the way, but also I edited the registry to actually disable it.

So, what gives??? Help much appreciated. I'm stumped here.

The whole environment is running on Windows Server 2012 R2 Datacenter servers, all fully patched. Attempting to install SQL Server 2012 Enterprise, and yes, I do accept the updates to install setup files when asked.

We are a hosting company that sells SQL under SPLA to our customers on dedicated servers.

It is also possible for a customer to install SQL from their own media using their Volume License agreement.

I am writing a script that runs across our entire install base and tries to determine if the SQL installation was done using our SPLA media or the customers own media.

I was thinking the pre-pidded key on the key would be different ie. a different key for each different customer agreement with Microsoft.

However, now I believe the above may not be case. It appears as though the pre-pidded keys might be the same globally (irrespective of customer)? If this is the case, is there any other registry attribute or other I could query to determine if the installation was done using our media?

Thanks in advance

Hi.. my query is around SQL server 2008 edition .. 
My organization is under enterprise agreement and we have SA for all SQL server licenses bought. 

My query is - can i use my SQL 2008 enterprise licenses to deploy SQL Standard 2008 server.

I have found out from licensing reference guide that the step down of editions is allowed in 2012 and later editions. I wanted to confirm if the same is applicable to 2008 or earlier editions.

  i have accidently activated " tool developer " and it has screwed up my yahoo email editing. i am not tech savvy. can someone tell me how to de-activate this sombitch ?

I'm about to install Microsoft SQL server 2014 on my Windows 2012 R2 server.

The network consist of three site offices, all connected through VPN tunnels.

There are one server at each office, all servers promoted to domain controllers. (Two of the servers are running Windows 2012 R2 server Std, the first domain controller is running on Windows 2008 R2 server.) 

The setup allows me have single logon at any of the site networks and get access to my server storage.

I'm experiencing some challenges when installing Microsoft SQL server 2014. It seems like the service will not start.

I'm installing the SQL server using the domain administrator, as the local administrator account is removed due to the promoted DC functionality. The installations is made from the server that shall have the SQL service running.  

Best practice or settings prior to installation very much appreciated.

It has been some time (sql server 2005) since I have done a sql server install. I have a development VM and need to install ss2014 standard edition on the VM ... I seem to remember with 2005, I was either allowed to download an exe or I could copy 2 directories to the server to act as cd1 and cd2 ...

how do I install ss2014 on a remote VM?

thanks in advance for your help.

I am trying to find a simple portable database (localdb) to use with my .Net apps so I am trying to install SQL Server 2012 express.

I get a MOF and WMI errors when installing SQL Server 2012 Express. I am not a database/windows person so not sure how to solve this complex problem. I have spent 2 days googling, tried many things already posted on this error in 2012 and 2008 with no results.

The history is the machine is Win 7 64 bit.  I had SQL Server 2005 installed sucessfully for years running with .Net until in 2013 a windows update suddenly trashed the instance and I was unable to connect to the database anymore. (Same exact thing happened on my laptop at the exact same time thus for sure it was a windows update). 

So I have uninstalled 2005 and tried to install 2012.

On the install it errors out twice:

1. Slp_Config_Install_Core_WMI_Provider_Cpu64

A MOF syntax Error occured

2.  RS_RunInstallScriptsAction_Cpu_64

Error call to RS WMI native function to retrieve database scripts. Error Code -2147220975

I have tried running mofcomp sqlmgmproviderxpsp2up.mof  manually and I get an error

mofcomp C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\110\Shared\sqlmgmproviderxpsp2up.mof

…

Storing data in the repository…

An Error occurred while processing item 10 defined on lines 73 – 79 in file sqlmgmproviderxpsp2up.mof:

Error number: 0x80070005, Facility: Win32

Description: Access is denied.

The 73 to 79 lines in the file are:

Instance of RegServices

{

  LName = "msftesql$";

  Name = "msftesql";

  ServiceType = "Full Text";

  Type = 3;

};

I have also tried

Winmgmt /verifyrepository 

And it comes back WMI repository is consistant.

I am also running all commands as administrator.

Like I said I really have no clue what I am doing soI may not even be looking in the right place.

Any insight appreciated.  If you need more details just tell me what to get.

thanks, rick

I've got SQL Server 2014 Developer installed, and working.  After rebooting, the event log looks like it's working fine.  However, ever since I uninstalled Visual Studio 2013 Premier and installed Visual Studio 2015 Professional, both with SQL Server Data Tools, whenever I try to start SQL Server 2014 Management Studio, I get "Cannot find one or more components. Please reinstall the application."

Is there any way I can avoid uninstalling SQL Server?

Thanks

I have searched this forum and my SQL SERVER 2005 book by Wrox and have not found the information to get around this issue.

We have 2 clustered SQL instances (2 physical servers in each cluster). Instance2 needs to be setup as a linked server on Instance1.

At this time port 1433 between them is not open. I am referring to the port on the network switch, not in the Windows Firewall (ports in Windows Firewall are already open).

Is opening the port between virtual IP-s sufficient? Or does port need to be open between all physical source/destination IP-s as well?

Hello All,

     I have a sql 2005 database on 2003, we are migrating this server over to 2008R2 as a clean install rather then an upgrade. I backuped up and moved over the databases as well as the logins and passwords. Everything works except one database that uses symmetric keys. I tried to create a master key for the database but it said one already existed. The symetic key already exists in the database, I can see it in SSMS. My question is how do I get the encryption working again. I have an ASP.NET application written on top of the database. It uses stored procedures in the database, they open the key as follows:

symmetrickey CP_Login_Keydecryptionbypassword='password'

my question is how do I get the encryption working again?

Hi,

I'm about to setup a new virtual machine, VMware, to run a SQL server 2012 installation.  My question is about setting up the underlying Windows server. 

I'm planning on using Windows server 2012 R2 and wondering what do I need to include in the server installation? 

What roles or features should I install or configure? 

Should I plan to install SQL server on the C: drive or a separate drive?

Should I plan to create the databases on the same drive as the SQL installation?  I am thinking of separating the database files from the log files on separate drives, which will be on separate LUNs in the storage array, if I can.  But would it be better to have the three components on separate drives, the SQL instance, the database files and the log files?

What else should I be considering that I haven't mentioned above?

Thanks in advance,

Linn
