Hi everyone,

We are a little company with 10 computer stations connected to one server and use SQL server 2008 - version 10.50.1600.1 not clustered. We want to add one more station and we have been told that we need to upgrade to SQL Standard 2017. They charge us a lot of money for that.

My questions are:

- Do we need to upgrade because of the add of one more station? and do we have to pay for 11 licences ?

- For upgrade is it logical that the price is for a new licence?

I don't understand much in all these problems so I'll be glad to get some advices from experts

Thank you in advance all

Hi all,

I wanted to know if there is a quick way to upgrade our  trial SQL2016 cluster to a licensed SQL 2016 cluster without rebuilding the whole server.

Our consultant forgot to mention that he needed to upgrade the trial to a licensed model. And now we are working in Production with the trial. Rebuilding the SQL cluster looks like the only solution, but we hope there is a better way.

I thought it would be possible to remove the cluster connections so you have a stand alone sql server and then upgrade the both servers and make the Clustering complete again. But is that possible with the cluster modules installed on it?

hope some one can help us quickly

Hello everyone, thanks for any help on this issue.  I have recently installed SQL 2008 R2 on a Server 2008 R2 machine cluster.  We ran the advanced cluster prep and completion.  I have SQL Server up and running properly and failing over between nodes.  In the failover cluster manager, when I select SQL Server, I do not have the SQL Server Agent listed under other resources.  When I try to start the Agent from the SQL Configuration Manager it fails with an event 103 and I've found several notes on this error but I am figuring the root issue is that there isn't a cluster resource for the Agent.

Is it possible to create the resource for the Agent? I have run a repair and I have tried to use add a resource, generic service, sql agent but it fails when I attempt to bring it online.

Thanks again for any help on this.

how to resolve this error and successfully remove sql server 2012 64b??

Hi

Our current SQL server setup runs with 3 X Windows 2016 servers in failover cluster with 2 X SQL instances. All applications refer the SQL by "Instace\SQLSrvrName". Our management asks to migrate all these clustered instances to SQL high availability model because of various including limitation with backup to take clustered hosts. We never configured SQL high availability, looking for an option to migrate the clustered / multiple instance SQL to high availability with minimum downtime. Also it's hard to change the SQL server reference in all apps, so if possible we have to keep the same format even after migrating to SQL HA model.

Thanks in advance

Hi,

I have a SQL server standard edition 2014 which was installed years back, i am going to uninstall and install it again due to some reason, i wanted to make sure while i will install it whether i need to have license key which i do not have since i recently joined to this organization, i asked windows team to provide license keys and they replied its a core based product and it does not require license key to install, earlier they said its a server + CAL license but now saying its core based.

my query is, if it is core based license and taken for without software assurance, and if i install it again by dowloading sql sererv 2014 installation setup will it require license key?

another question is how can i make sure what kind of license is it?

Not sure if I chose the right category and forum but here is my issue.

Security Update for SQL Server 2017 RTM GDR (KB4505224) - Error 0x80070643

The above is my main issue

I have troubleshooted this for two hours running windows update troubleshooter which said it fixed 3 issues and then I tried the update again and it still failed.

I tried to download the update from the microsoft windows update catalog via internet.

I tried to download a FixMissing MSI .zip file from git hub.

The below error is what I get when I ran the install application file for the KB 4505224

I have saved the error message but this site won't let me add the picture because of Body text cannot contain images or links until we are able to verify your account.

What is the best way to work around this error or fix this issue?

I thought of deleting the software distribution or backing it up and renaming it. It did not allow me to do this.

Thank you for any information you can provide 

Hi,

I set up a new cluster the other day, after doing two others successfully. This particular cluster on windows 2012 R2 is a SQL 2014 installation that has been patched to SP2 CU10. The cluster also hosts 9 other instances and a file share we use for backups for all the instances. 

It will not come online and has the error - "Could not find any IP address that this SQL Server instance depends upon. Make sure that the cluster service is running, that the dependency relationship between SQL Server and Network Name resources is correct, and that the IP addresses on which this SQL Server instance depends are available."

I verified that dependencies were set up like the other clustered instance on this cluster, took the IP & Network name offline and then tried to ping it - no response. I put the IP/NetName online and was able to ping it. I changed the IP to a new IP provided by my network team and also known to be available. I have read through several similar threads here that mention validating registry entries and looked at those entries. I've tried bringing it up on both nodes.  The same error has occurred after all these steps.

System Log:

The SQL Server (INST10) service terminated with the following service-specific error:

Hi there,

is this something related to the SSMS 18.0 edition installation?

I was using the CTP 5.0 for SSMS 18.0 and yesterday I installed 18.3.1

Thanks for your comments

Hello There,

When I sun this simple command 

EXEC master..xp_cmdshell 'BCP PDF13.dbo.TextFileRaw out D:\projects\dddd.txt -E -T -c'

I get  this error message 
output
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Warning: Ignoring 'E' flag when copying out. Password: CTLIB Message: - L1/O1/S1/N138/1/0: : user api layer: external error: A data length of 255 exceeds the maximum length allowed for password data. Setting connection properties failed. NULL (6 rows affected)
Looks like I have Installed a set of Sybase drivers and it changed the environment variable to point to Sybase's BCP and not SQL Server's BCP. -Came to know after some research but were to change the Environment variable back to point to SQL Server, I am not sure

Please advice

Thanks

I'm getting the above error when trying to install a new instance of SQL Server 2017 developer edition. I've read that this can be caused by the installation trying to install an earlier version of the c++ distributable when visual studio 2017 is installed. So I've tried uninstalling visual studio, repairing then uninstalling the visual C++ redistributable (both) and running the installation under the windows administrator account, but not getting any luck. Are there any other ideas on what might work?

Hello,
