SQL Server 2014 64bit

I am getting the following error when adding a passive node. This is a virtual environment and the service account is already running an active mode on this node. I logged into this node with the service account and it works fine. Just during the install of the passive node; it throws the error below when adding the passwords to the service accounts screen.

node1 (instance1, instance2) A, P  ---- node2 (instance2, instance1) A, P

I am trying to add instance1 (passive instance) on node2

[Error Message]

The specified service account is not supported. Depending on the operating systems Virtual Accounts and Managed Service Accounts are also supported.

I installed sql server management studio 2012 about 3 months ago to test drive and from time to time I'll attempt to change my background color of the TSql editor "In the fonts and colors option under tools"; however, the entire studio crashes and restarts.

This has been ongoing since I first installed it 3 or 4 months ago, and have waited on posting to a fourm for help, assuming I am not the only one this is happening to I've waited for an update that might fix the issue.

I've got to start on some heavy scripting and that god awful white background kills my eyes. I've got to have a black background or my work day is cut off by about 3 hours becuase of strain.

What can I provide to someone that would help me with this?

Thank you,

Hi,

I have SQL Server 2014 installed on a Windows 10 platform. I'm trying to uninstall it, but when I go through the uninstall I get multiple warning stating "The following error has occurred: SQL Server Setup failed to restore the instance id."

At the end I get a complete with failures. The following features fail

• Database Engine Services
• Data Quality Services
• Full-Text and Semantic Extractions for Search
• SQL Server Replication
• SQL Browser
• SQL Writer
• Setup Support Files

The all show the same error in the Summary.txt. Here is what the Database Engine Services says as an example.

Is there a way I can get SQL Server Uninstalled?

While installing sqlserver 2008 R2 it is showing that you are not valid user....I am using windows 8.1 OS 

Plesae solve my installing problem..

Thank You.

I've been having a lot of trouble installing SQL Server 2012.  This was a new install, no other versions of SQL Server were on the machine.

After several restarts, install attempts, and running the installer in Repair mode, Management Studio finally installed but there is no localhost.  But it can connect and query to remote instances.

The installer will not create a local instance.  When I try to connect to localhost or "." in SQL Management Studio, it fails and I get this error:

""

I've spent a day just trying to install SQL 2012, any suggestions welcome!

much appreciated,

Ok I guess I'm lost on this. Seems simple. I'm installing SQL 2014 Std on Server 2012 R2. I have two drives added. E:\ and T:\

I install basic SQL with Mgt tools. When I get to the paths in the install, for DB, Logs, Backup and Temp DB I select either drive then create folder etc. I also add in the Domain user account I created for the services.

So E:\DB, E:\Logs, E:\Backups and T:\TempD

I have tried this now three times. However when I go into Explorer I can see the drive sizes but I cannot see anything in any of the sub folders. I essentially have NO read access into any folder that SQL created and cannot see the owner of any the folders either.

I also tried uninstalling and pre-creating the folders and selecting them during the install. Same result. Am I supposed to have to now go in and change the permissions somehow so I can see the subfolder contents? Every other server I have I can open the folders as Admin and see either db, logs etc. I don't seem to have this issue with SQL 2008.

Thx

Hello Forum

My predecessor has installed an evaluation period of SQL Server 2012 to host some System Center Configuration Manager databases; however the evaluation period has just expired;and we do not have any 2012 licences.

We do however have 2014 Licences and media; would an upgrade to 2014 restore the Instance; or is there a way to extend the evaluation period?

A quick response would be gratefully appreciated as this is a Production Platform.

Hello all,
I have Windows 2k8 Server R2 Std

with SQL Server 2k8 Std installed.
All fully patched and updated, even optional patches.

I have installed the patch for TLS 1.2 to work for SQL Server (KB3144113), and the SQL Server service is running fine.  no issues.  So I assume since I disabled TLS 1.0 and 1.1 that it is working fine with TLS 1.2.

No I am using .NET Framework 4.5.2, so I installed the ADO.NET client rollup (KB3099845)
Check the registry and it reflects for .NET 4.5.2 version 4.5.52333

But I can no longer use SSMS to connect to the instance that is running on the server.
I Have verified that the registry keys that are needed are in place for both Client and Server to use TLS 1.2

I have another DB Server with the same OS and SQL Server installed on it, and it appears to be working fine.

Any ideas why I cannot connect to the SQL Server instance?
If you go to the KB3135244 page, under "Known Issues"
I am basically seeing a combination for Issue 1 and Issue 2.
When I attempt to login to the SQL Server instance using SSMS, I get the error that is in Issue 2.

Thank you for your time

I'm having trouble adding an additional SQL Server 2012 node on a Server 2012R2 failover cluster, but only for one instance.

Installing a new node succeeds, and installing the second node to a new instance succeeds, but the installer hangs indefinitely with a "please wait" at the "specify service accounts" screen.  The only way to exit/kill the installer is to use task manager to kill the ScenarioEngine process.  I've even let the installer stay in this "please wait" state for two straight days.  No network traffic, no open connections, and no processes appear in "wait state" that I can see.  Domain authentication is verified to be okay on both nodes of this failover cluster.

This particular instance was installed on the failover cluster when it only had one node (the second node was down and the cluster had only one node configured at the time).

The installer does see the existing failover cluster instance and all checks pass with the exception of one warning about the non-clustered DTC.

It doesn't matter what we enter for credentials on the service account screen.  Leaving all passwords blank or entering verified correct passwords gives the same result.  The actual service account the existing instance was installed with: SQL Full-Text filter daemon account is LocalSystem, and the SQL Server accounts use a specific domain user.

Again, adding a new instance using the same credentials succeeds and adding a second node to that instance succeeds.  I don't know what's unique about this particular existing instance that is causing the installer to lock up.

I've come across other people having this same issue, but the solutions they arrived at don't seem to my particular installation.

Is there an installation logfile/statefile that I can inspect or supply to this thread?

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?

Hi everybody,

My colleague developer is saying that starting recently she is getting errors about losing connections from our VFP application. I think it may be related with one of the latest Windows Updates, I saw a recent thread on the topic but could not find it (if someone has a link to that thread, it would be great).

What should I do to help her out?

I am personally having BSOD after most recent Windows Updates. I'm working on that problem now using this link

Hi All,

I have downloaded & installed Enterprise instance of SQL 2012 (The bits were downloaded from MSDN) is there a way to convert this instance to standard without the loss of data or re installation of  the instance.

Please Suggest !

Thanks,

Pranay.

I encountered a problem installing (on windows 7) the SSMS from the Management Studio 2014 Express installer .

The installer is asking me to enter an alternate path for vc_red.msi.

I used the browser and selected the folder were vc_red.msi is actually located but it says it is not a valid installation package for the product Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 x64 redistributable - 10.0.40219

I was trying to follow the solution from a similar post, but had no success.

The post is: 

https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/d2d92984-1b47-454c-be36-29eb1f284e41/unable-to-install-sql-server-developer-2012-on-windows-7-vcredmsi?forum=sqlsetupandupgrade

I went to the registry and could not find a reference to VC_RED.MSI that had a network path. The entries I found had empty info.

I installed SP1 for Visual Studio 10 too and made no difference.

Please help.

Hi 

Please let me know that as per best practices under which service account should sql services (database engine, agent, integration,reporting, analysis etc) should run 

1 Local System

Any risks if we do not upgrade SQL to SP4 from SQL perspective(risks, outstanding issues with current version, vulnerabilities, etc )

Please provide your inputs on this.

MS provide to plans to us

Plan 1:- 

1.      If the current installation fails, then we will have to remove both the VC++ 2005 and VC++ 2010 components from the server.
2.      Restart the server.
3.      Install a standalone instance of SQL Server 2008 on the server.
4.      Install the Service Pack 4 on the intended clustered instance. Notice the results.

Plan 2:- 

5.      If the installation still fails, then we may need to reinstall the Operating system on the server.
6.      The same action applies to all the nodes in the cluster. 

Note:- I need help on this if any case Plan 1 fails how to do in Plan 2 on existing environment to do reinstall the Operating system please provide to me any information how to processed on PLAN 2.

Regards,

Anji
