SQL 2000 LINKED SERVER ERROR 7303 WITH SQL 2012 ON WINDOWS SERVER 2012 R2

Hi all,
I have a problem with SQL Server 2012 and a linked server for SQL 2000 database.
System specification:
Windows server 2012 64 bit
SQL SERVER 2012 64 bit
REMOTE SERVER SQL 2000 32 bit
I've installed sql native client 32bit,create a SYSTEM DSN odbc connection with "SQL Server" driver named "MYSERVER".
Create a linked server with the query below in SQL 2012:
EXEC master.dbo.sp_addlinkedserver @server =N'MYSERVER', @srvproduct=N'MYSERVER', @provider=N'MSDASQL', @datasrc =N'MYSERVER', @location=N'System';
EXEC master.dbo.sp_addlinkedsrvlogin @rmtsrvname=N'MySERVER',@useself=N'True',@locallogin=NULL,@rmtuser=NULL,@rmtpassword=NULL
GO
but when i browse the linked server i receved error 7303.

You need 64-bit MSDASQL. It is the bitness of the server you are connecting from that matters. 64-bit executables cannot hook into 32-bit DLL.
However, I suspect that you will not get things to work anyway. At least I have not seen anyone this far who has been able to set up a linked server from SQL 2012 to SQL 2000. I know that when I tried this, the following providers had this result:
SQLNCLI11 - does not support connections to SQL 2000.
SQLNCLI10 - failed with some obscure message that I don't recall.
SQLNCLI - Don't recall that the problem was here.
SQLOLEDB - SQLOLEDB is always replaced with the most recent version of SQLNCLI, so this fails because of lack of support.
I don't think I got through all version of the ODBC drivers, though.

[Forum FAQ]How to upgrade Windows Server 2008 R2 with a GUI to Windows Server 2012 Server Core

We found that some customers willing to upgrade Windows Server 2008 R2 GUI to Windows Server 2012 Server Core recently. This article provides detailed steps to perform the upgrade.
Analysis
Upgrading from Windows Server 2008 R2 with a GUI installation to Windows Server 2012 with Server Core directly
is not supported. If you do that, you will receive the error message below(Figure 1) in Compatibility report:
Figure 1.
In these scenario, you can upgrade to Windows Server 2012 firstly. After the upgrade process is completed, you can switch freely between Server Core and Server with a GUI modes.
Produces
You can follow the steps below to perform an upgrade from Windows Server 2008 R2 with a GUI installation to Windows Server 2012 Server Core mode:
1. Upgrade to Windows Server 2012 with a GUI mode
1) Firstly, please boot into Windows Server 2008 R2 with a Windows Server 2012 installation DVD inserted.
2) Select the operating system you want to install with a GUI mode.
We can see 2 options (Server Core Installation or Server with a GUI) for each operating system version. (Figure 2)
Figure 2.
Note: Please make sure you have enough disk space on system partition. Or you will get such an error in Compatibility report.(Figure 3)
Figure 3.
After the Compatibility check, the installation will continue. It will take several minutes until upgrading is done.(Figure 4)
Figure 4.
2. Switch the GUI mode to Server Core
Method 1: Using Server Manager
1) Open Server Manager, click
Manger and select “Remove Roles and Features” to start the
Remove Roles and Features Wizard.
2) In Features,
uncheck the box next to the “User Interfaces and Infrastructure” option, and then click “Next”. (Figure 5)
Figure 5.
Now tick the “Restart the destination Server automatically if required” box, then click “Remove”. (Figure 6)
Figure 6.
Method 2: Using Windows PowerShell
There are multiple ways to remove the GUI via Windows PowerShell, we introduce the way of using the ServerManager module.
You can also run the commands in Windows PowerShell with an administrator to remove the GUI feature:
“Import-Module ServerManager”
“Uninstall-Windowsfeature Server-Gui-Shell –Restart”
or
“Uninstall-WindowsFeature Server-Gui-Shell, Server-Gui-Mgmt-Infra –Restart”
It will take a period of time to remove the GUI feature and reboot. When the system boots up, you will get into the Windows Server 2012 with Server Core mode. (Figure 7)
Figure 7.

Capturing SQL server error logs with SQL restores

Hi All.
I have a stored procedure which restores a database, the issue I'm having is that when the stored procedure fails due to space issues.
If the stored procedure is executed from SSMS, get error similar to the below.
Msg 3257, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
There is insufficient free space on disk volume 'X:\Datadrive\' to create the database. The database requires 897725691812 additional free bytes, while only 776828129280 bytes are available.
Msg 3119, Level 16, State 4, Line 1
Problems were identified while planning for the RESTORE statement. Previous messages provide details.
Msg 3013, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
RESTORE DATABASE is terminating abnormally.
However, looking at the SQL server output file I only see
Msg 3013, RESTORE DATABASE is terminating abnormally.
(1 rows(s) affected)
Msg 50000, Sev 16, State 1, Line 94 : Msg 3013, RESTORE DATABASE is terminating abnormally. [SQLSTATE 42000]
I have the catch block as follows.
SET @Error = ERROR_NUMBER()
SET @ErrorMessage= ERROR_MESSAGE()
SET @ErrorMessage = 'Msg ' + CAST(@Error AS nvarchar) + ', ' + ISNULL(@ErrorMessage,'')
SELECT @ErrorMessage
RAISERROR(@ErrorMessage,16,1) WITH NOWAIT
My objective is that I want to get the first detailed error message in my output file, however I am not sure what is being done incorrectly. The issue is that the error details in the output file doesnt really say what the issue is.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Can you replace catch block as per below code
DECLARE @ErrorMessage NVARCHAR(4000), @ErrorProc NVARCHAR(126), @ErrorLineNo INT;
-- ERROR HANDLING - Grab Error code and throw
SELECT @ErrorLineNo = ERROR_LINE(), @ErrorMessage = ERROR_MESSAGE(), @ErrorProc = ERROR_PROCEDURE();
RAISERROR('Error %s occurred in %s. Line %d', 16, 1, @ErrorMessage, @ErrorProc, @ErrorLineNo) WITH SETERROR;
Please mark this reply as answer if it solved your issue or vote as helpful if it helped so that other forum members can benefit from it

Thanks for the response.
Can you please confirm what the code will do, the reason I ask is that we have temporarily resolved the space issue. If i want to test this however, I would need to re-create the scenario. I would like to have an understanding of what this code will do.
Thanks in advance.

Linked server error 7303

I have already shared the folder with all
of the database permits users full control
of sql server users , users of

I found a solution on the Internet,
says to create an Admin user
on the machine, and as a path
to a temporary folder on your
hard disk different from the profile, by entering
the required permissions to SQL Server, but not
seems to work after a while let us start, however,
to return the error 7303.

Connect SQL Server 2012 from Windows Server 2003 with native client 9.0

Hi,
I currently have a setup where ETL tool Ab Intio, running on a Linux server, connects to the SQL Server 2005 through a passthrough Wintel server with Windows Server 2003 OS using SQL server native client 9.0
Now I have the requirement to upgrade the SQL server from 2005 to 2012.
My question is, will it be possible to connect to SQL server 2012 through Windows Server 2003 with native client 9.0?
As per the specs, I need native client 11.0+ to fully support SQL Server 2012, but then, as per specs, native client 11.0 doesnot run on Windows server 2003. OS upgradation is currently not on the cards.
So will it be possible to the run the basic queries we use currently, if we can connect SQL server 2012 through Windows Server 2003 with native client 9.0/10.0, without updgrading the OS of the Wintel server?
Thanking you in advance!

Hi Soumya,
Yes, you can use the SQL Server Native Client shipped with SQL Server 2005 to connect to a SQL Server 2012 instance, and there is no need to upgrade the operating system.

Is it possible to create a two node cluster with SQL server 2012 STD on node1 and SQL Server 2008 ENT on node2 on a Windows server 2012?

Hi All,
Is it possible to create a two node cluster with SQL server 2012 STD on node1 and SQL Server 2008 ENT on node2 on a Windows server 2012?
aa

I think you are confused with the way cluster is installed. Installing SQL on cluster is a two step process. On first node you create a new SQL cluster and on second node you need "AddNode" action.
Same edition media has to be used in above two operation.
you can install two separate instances with one enterprise and one standard.

Cannot install SQL Server Native Client 2012 on Windows Server 2008 Data Center

Is it possible to install SQL Server Native Client 11.0 (SQL Server 2012) on Windows Server 2008 Datacenter?
I tried to install it, but I get this error message:
"Installation of this product failed because it is not supported on this operating system. For information on supported configurations, see the product documentation."
Based on this article (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc280356.aspx), I see one of the supported operating system is Windows Server 2008.

Hello,
Can you try to download and install Windows Server 2008 Service Pack 2 from the following link, and then reinstall the SQL Server Native Client 11.0 again?
http://www.microsoft.com/en-in/download/details.aspx?id=16468
Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Native Client is included in the SQL Server 2012 Feature Pack. Based on the requirement of
the download page , you should apply SP2 for Windows Server 2008.

Need help installing sql server 2012 on windows server 2012 core

Hi Guys
I am having trouble installing sql server 2012 on windows server 2012 core. I am doing this on VM and my VM is not connected to internet.
This setup is part of preparing lab for sql serve exam 70-462. I would really appreciate your help.
I am including the links to the log files that were generated after installation. There are following 2 files
Component Update and
Detail_Global_Rules
Thanks

Hi
iworkonline,
Regarding to your original question, you can work around it according to Prashanth’s post or unclick the “Include SQL Server Product Updates" checkbox when installing SQL Server on your VM.
Regarding to your second question, I make a test using TechNet Virtual Lab and everything works as expected . Below are my steps.
1. Choose Web client after laughing the Lab.
2. Choose SQLONE machine and “OPEN CHARMS” as follows, then search SQL Server Management Studio, use it to connect to the default instance (which has been installed in the lab).
From your description, you get error message “Device not ready”. Could you please post more details? Are you installing SQL Server 2012 on the TechNet Virtual Lab?
Thanks,

Custom DTS package migration from BPC 4.2 ,SQL 2000 to BPC 7.0 M , SQL 2005

Is there any changes required in the custom dts package when migration from BPC 4.2 , sql 2000 Environment to bpc 7.0 , SQL 2005/2008 Environment.
or
Please suggest process for migrating custom dts package from BPC 4.2 ,SQL 2000 Envirnment to BPC 7.0 ,SQL 2005/2008 Environment

When you say "custom dts package" that can mean many different things. What type of customization has been done?
There are a few BPC-related features which changed from 4.2, which must be manually adjusted, if you're using those features.
But SQL itself also changed dramatically in moving from SQL 2000 to 2005. So if your customer's packages are heavily customized around SQL 2000, this may require substantial re-work.
The only migration process for custom DTS packages -- that I'm aware of -- is to use the SQL 2005 migration tool in SSIS, see how much it messed up, and then fix everything else that's still broken.
But there also may be opportunities to improve the package overall. SQL 2005 has a lot of great new features in SSIS, over what was there in SQL 2000.
I haven't started working with SQL 2008 yet, so I can't say what complexity there is in upgrading DTS packages from 2005 to 2008. From what I read in the BPC 7 release notes, it sounds like it's a very minor upgrade, compared to the jump from 2000 to 2005.

I keep receiving a server error message with the new beta version of iMessage. What can I do to fix this?

Ok I have a question.
Why do you want to use Beta software? Especially since you are having this problem with it?
Uninstall it and forget about it until it is released as a real piece of software.

adil

SharePoint 2010 has no supportability statement for Server 2012 R2. I would not use it until Microsoft releases a supportability statement.
Even it has no supportability for server 2012, but sharepoint 2010 running fine in my server 2012 test environment
adil
You indicated you were using 2012 R2. SharePoint 2010 supports Server 2012 (non-R2) with SP2 media, but has no supportability statement for Server 2012 R2.

Apple Mail The server error encountered was: The connection to the server "

I have had my apple mail set up for some time now, through Gmail, and it has worked fine. I recently moved into a college dorm and now my apple mail gives me this error message
There may be a problem with the mail server or network. Check the settings for account "POP Account" or try again.
The server error encountered was: The connection to the server "pop.gmail.com" on port 995 timed out.
I've tried everything I could think to try, including taking the SSL off, restarting, quitting apple mail, redoing all the settings, and nothing seems to be helping me connect. I did the connectivity test and it says it's connected to the internet, it's just not getting the mail from my Gmail account. Thanks,
Aaron

What are the settings for both your Incoming and Outgoing servers, including port number, authentication method, and whether or not SSL is enabled for both?
Also, it's possible your college is blocking traffiic from Google, so you might try changing the DNS Servers by going to System Preferences > Network > Configure > TCP/IP and enter these two:
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220
then click Apply Now, quit System Preferences and restart Mail and any other Internet applications you were running. Check to see if Mail still gives you problems.

OS 10.7, SMB Connection, Change to Unicode with Extended Security on Windows Server 2008 Standard

Hi All, I've searched Google, and I've also contacted Apple Support with no luck: I want to implement unicode with extended security on Windows Server 2008 Standard server shared folders so that Lion can connect normally (i.e. Finder->Go->Connect to Server->IP Address or server name) to SMB shares and access files. I'm lacking information; has anyone actually implemented unicode with extended security? If so, how?
Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the reply aorlich. Do you mean enable file sharing on my Mac? With file sharing enabled, I still cannot get to my Windows 7 shares, although the files on my Mac do become available to Windows. Thanks again.
