Linked Server is not working for me for physically separated machine

$

0

I have two separate machine installed with SQL server 2008R2.

Now I want to execute query from Server1 and write to Server2.

I have two physically separated machine installed with the same SQL server 2008 R2 version instance

Server -A

Machine Name: Server1

Machine Local IP Address: 10.5.20.5

Machine Login Username:User1

Machine Login password:Password1

Database Instance Name: Instance1

It is configured for mixed authentication Mode

SQL Login User=SQLUser1

SQL Login Password=SQLUser1

Installed SQL version: SQL Server 2008 R2 ( Version :10.50.1600.1)

Installed operating system: windows server 2008 R2

Server -B

Machine Name: Server2

Machine Local IP Address: 10.5.20.6

Machine Login Username:User2

Machine Login password:Password2

Database Instance Name: Instance2

It is configured for mixed authentication Mode

SQL Login User=SQLUser2

SQL Login Password=SQLUser2

Installed SQL version: SQL Server 2008 R2 ( Version :10.50.1600.1)

Installed operating system: windows server 2008 R2

 

Now the problem is I am not able to create linked server at Server1…

What I did was, At Server2, enabled TCP/IP,TCP Port 1433, add this to firewall for both TCU andUDP and then use management studio at Server1 to create the linked server and follow the procedure,But I am not able to create the linked Server. Actually I am new for Linked server

Can you help me what are the requirements and steps to create the linked server atServer1 to write data to server2 database considering the above scenario?

Trying to repair SQL Server 2012 SP2 installation, following a failed SP3 installation. During the repair the pre-checks correctly detect SQL Server is not clustered, but during the repair of Analysis Services it fails due to Cluster Group cannot be empty.

Is there a way to force the repair into non-clustered mode?

Upgrade from current Windows Server 2008 Standard License to 2008 Enterprise

$

I work for a reseller, SHI, could you please help me answer my customer's questions below?

We have a server currently running Windows Server 2008 Standard, it has 32 GB of memory in it (max supported by OS).  We want to add another 64 GB to it which requires us upgrade to 2008 enterprise.  We can’t do a full install, only upgrade due to applications, etc.  We need to stay within the 2008 family for compatibility purposes.  What I really need to know is what license I need to buy to allow us to upgrade to 2008 enterprise and what the process will be to perform the upgrade considering the license, etc.

We do not have the license under SA, but I’m fully prepared to purchase a new license outright.  However, I have 2 primary concerns.  One being which license do I need to buy to allow me to upgrade the operating system to 2008 enterprise?  Second, what is physical process of doing this upgrade?  Remember, I don’t want to do a full install, just an in place upgrade of 2008 std. to 2008 ent.  If I’m reading the below chart correctly, it appears we can buy 2012 standard, then run 2008 enterprise, is this correct?

Another question: The server has no special roles, only a member server.  The primary application is SQL 2008 enterprise.

Common SQL Server Between Two Networks

$
0
0

The small company I work for has two different divisions that I keep separated at the network level for security purposes.

Division 1 computers are all on network switches with IPs in the 192.168.100.x subnet.

Division 2 computers are all on network switches with IPs in the 192.168.200.x subnet.

Each division has a separate domain controller and SQL Server for the apps we use. This means that I am licensing two SQL Servers.

Is there a way for me to put a single SQL Server on a 192.168.300.x and then allow both division 1 and division 2 computers to use it. It seems like a logical idea but I can't get my head around how it would work. Especially with the connection strings and the fact that a computer on the 192.168.100.x subnet is going to have to be able to see the SQL Server on 192.168.300.x

Thanks for any/all suggestions that you can pass along.

Can't connect to report server database when upgrade from SQL Server 2k8 R2 to SQL Server 2012

$

Hi, 

I'm upgrading a SQL Server 2k8 R2 DataCenter Edition stand-alone instance to SQL Server 2012 Enterprise Edition, and failed on Upgrad Rules check step, the ONLY failed rule is RS_ValidDatabaseVersion: 

The report server database is not a supported compatibility level or a connection cannot be established. Use Reporting Services Configuration Manager to verify the report server configuration and SQL Server management tools to verify the compatibility level.

I checked the setup log:

(19) 2013-01-06 13:52:06 Slp: Initializing rule      : Valid Database compatibility level and successful connection
(19) 2013-01-06 13:52:06 Slp: Rule is will be executed  : True
(19) 2013-01-06 13:52:06 Slp: Init rule target object: Microsoft.SqlServer.Configuration.RSExtension.DsnUpgradeBlockers
(19) 2013-01-06 13:52:48 RS:Error validating Report Server database version: System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server. The server was not found or was not accessible. Verify that the instance name is correct and that SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections. (provider: Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 - Could not open a connection to SQL Server)

However, 1) I've configured the SQL Server and Windows Firewall, and I can connect to the database from another computer (both by named pipe and IP address), with both Windows and SQL Server credential. 2) I checked both SQL Server log and Windows Event log, found NO failed login event, so it seems the Upgrader can't even find the instance! My SQL Server instance just use the default instance name (MSSQLSERVER) and didn't do any specific change.

Anybody has any ideas about this? Thanks in advance.

Patching windows for sql server

$

Hello,

I was verifying the number of windows updates I needed to run against the current non production and production environments for our database servers hosting SQL Server.

I see important updates and optional updates but no critical updates. I am interested in critical and important updates only and would install only those whenever I am patching database servers. Is there a way to determine which of the available important updates are really required and which I can ignore? Or is it a better practice to patch all important updates too?

Thanks

"You do not have exclusive access..."

$
0
0

Upon opening an MSAccess database, I (and other users) get the error message "You do not have exclusive access to the database at this time. If you proceed...." . We actually have to acknowledge several of these messages to finally get to the main menu of the database, at which time it works fine. When only one user is using the database, the error doesn't appear.

The database is on a server, and has several users, all connected thru a network. All users open the same Access file to use the database. The database is split, with all of the tables being on SQL Server.

Further explanation of the error when it appears: "When attempting to open a database in Design View, or when trying to save design changes to a database object, you may encounter this error message. Access requires an exclusive lock on the database to make design changes on some object types. This error indicates that Access has not obtained an exclusive lock on the database...." {there is more in the explanation}

All this happens on opening the database - no design changes are underway, and the database is not opening in Design View. I have verified that none of the other users is open in exclusive mode. No objects are being updated (although data might be being changed). I am the only user that can get to the navigation pane, and I never do that while other users are on the system (I do it at night, when all users are absent). Is there some way that one of the forms or tables or queries has retained an opening that locks the db? What are some possibilities that might throw this error?Is it because of the update to Access 2013 (which occurred some time ago, but the problem has only arisen recently)?

Incidentally, on the same server, I have 3 other Access-SQLServer split databases, all with multiple users, all users using a single Access file in each db, none of which have this problem. The main difference between the problem database and the others is the heavy use of VBA instead of macros to perform actions – is there something in VBA that might cause the error?

I have seen solutions on some forums that indicate that giving each user their own copy of the front end database will resolve this – but that would be a monstrous task for me, since the databases are frequently modified with new reports, calculations and features.

Can you help me find the problem that throws this error?

Thank You!

How to uninstall SP3 for SQL Server 2008 R2? Asks for 'SQL Server 2008 R2 SP2 Management Studio' disk

$
0
0

I'd like to have a clean uninstall procedure for SQL Server 2008 R2 Enterprise Edition SP3 before I roll this out to other servers. On a lab server, I've installed SP3 (already had SP2). When I try to uninstall SP3, I run into the following:

"The feature you are trying to use is on a CD-ROM or other removable disk that is not available. Insert the 'SQL Server 2008 R2 SP2 Management Studio' disk and click OK." Use source: Please insert next disk drop-down and a browse button.

What are my options here? Can't find SQL Server 2008 R2 SP2 media on MSDN or anywhere else.

1) Uninstall SQL Server Management Studio first, then try uninstalling SP3? Would I have to uninstall all shared features or just SSMS to get further?

2) During the SP3 uninstall process, could I point to SQL Server 2008 R2 RTM media, then reinstall SP2?

3) Create a slipstreamed SQL Server 2008 R2 SP2 and point to it?

4) Something else?

What's the easiest way to proceed and why am I seeing this behavior? While there aren't likely to be problems with SQL Server 2008 R2 SP3, I'd feel remiss if I didn't have a tested uninstall process for SP3. The SQL Server instances in question may have been installed with slipstreamed media (SQL Server 2008 R2 SP2)--perhaps that's why I'm seeing this. Whoever provided the slipstreamed media no longer has it.

Thanks.
