SQL Server Service Packs (2008, 2008R2, 2012)

Hi all,
it appears that no one took care of installing Service Packs for our SQL Servers from WSUS and now i have to do it. What i have:
MS SQL Server 2008 R2 Service Pack 1
MS SQL Server 2008 Service Pack 1,2,3
MS SQL Server 2012 Service Pack 1,2
As you could see some of them a really old.
1. The fact that everything is running so far without any problems and complains bring the question: Do I have to install Service Packs?
2. Is it ok if I go directly to the latest Service Pack for each Server or i have to go the "entire road" installing one after another.
3. What is the best way to do the updates: Install all other security and critical updates, restart the server, then install the service pack and restart again the server.
Actually my knowledge for SQL Server and Updates for it are not so big that's why i want to apologies for the stupid questions. Thanks in advance

1. The fact that everything is running so far without any problems and complains bring the question: Do I have to install Service Packs?
Hi,
Yes very much recommended if your SQL server 2008 is not at SP/Sp4 it would not come under extended support purview. If you have 2008 r2 not with SP3 again you are out of extended support. For 2012 as well apply Sp2 .Mainstarem support for 2008/2008
R2 has already ended
2. Is it ok if I go directly to the latest Service Pack for each Server or i have to go the "entire road" installing one after another.
Hi,
Yes you can directly upgrade to SQL
Server 2008 SP4 because SP are cumulative and latest SP will include all fixes present in one released before it . As a fact you can always apply latest SP for any SQL server version for fact that it is cumulative. Dont go for SP3 go for SP4 in 2008 and
SP3 for 2008 r2
3. What is the best way to do the updates: Install all other security and critical updates, restart the server, then install the service pack and restart again the server.
Best way can be referred from below docs
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd638062%28v=sql.100%29.aspx
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/25632.how-to-install-sql-server-2012-sp2-on-standalone-sql-server-instance.aspx
Just above doc is for 2012 but will hold true for 2008 as well. SP might require restart of Windows machine on which SQL Server resides.

Steps involved in Uninstalling SQL Server service packs

Hi,
Came to know that we can uninstall sql server service packs from SQL 2008 SP1 onwards.
Question is, for suppose i have installed SQL 2008 SP3 and found problem. Now I want to uninstall SP3, what are the steps involved to uninstall a service pack? Can we also uninstall QFE, Cummulative updates and hotfix's as well?
How does sql server does the rollback or uninstall of service pack behind the scenes?
Appreciate your help.
Thank you.

Hello,
@Cheer08: When SP1 CU3 and SP1 CU4 were released we found that some SQL Server users had issues with SSIS and SSRS, when these CUs were
uninstalled we found the issues continue, and we were back to normal when we reapplied SP1 or SP1 CU2.
@Samantha: About the Resource DB, it certainly plays a factor on applying updates and upgrading process, which is explained
here. About how it is used to allow rollback of updates
in SQL Server, the Resource DB seems to be used to copy back the objects and semantics to system databases as explained in the following article.
http://extremeexperts.com/sql/yukon/resourcedatabase.aspx
@Samantha: no official documents to my knowledge, I just have a real world experience on this as I mentioned to @Cheer08.
Hope this helps.

SAP List of Supported SQL Server Service Packs and Cumulative Updates

Does SAP provide a list of SQL Server Service Packs and Cumulative Updates that will work with BPC 7.0 and 7.5? I see that CU 12 is out for SP1 and CU 2 is out for SP2. I would like to know if I can move the SP2 CU2 or SP1 CU12. My install docs are outdated specifying SP1 CU6.
Any direction is appreciated.
Joe

Hi,
Please take a look at the below list of the supported OS: This excerpt is from the installation guide.
SP04 or later: Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard or Enterprise Edition with or without Hyper-V
Windows Server 2008 Standard or Enterprise Edition with or without Hyper-V, or
Windows Server 2008 Data Center with or without Hyper-V
Windows Server 2003 Standard or Enterprise Edition SP2
Windows Server 2003 Standard configured on the SQL database or OLAP server components only
Windows Server 2003 R2 Standard or Enterprise Edition SP2
SAP recommends using Windows Server 2008 64 bit over Windows Server 2003 64 bit. Otherwise, supportability is limited.
I am not sure what did you mean by the front end. Having said that, 32 bit is supported both on the server and the client machines.
Hope this helps.

SQL Server Service Pack Install and SSRS Scale Out Environment

We have an error in our SSRS environment that looks to be addressed in SQL Server 2008 R2 SP3. Our set up is a scale out environment, 2 SSRS app servers and 1 SSRS database server. For simplicity as we are moving to 2012 soon, I would like to only install
the service pack on one of the SSRS app servers. Anyone aware of any reason besides keeping servers consistent to not do this? I don't want to go through the time to upgrade the SSRS SQL Server if I don't have to.
Thanks

Hello,
If you apply the service pack on the database server first, front-ends may not be able to provide service again until you
apply the SP to them too. I have no knowledge of other possible issue.
Remember to backup SSRS databases and encryption key before applying the service pack.
Hope this helps.

Need SQL Server service packs installation procedure

Hey Guys,
I am in the process of installing service packs to my SQL Server 2008 and R2 editions, I was searching for the installation procedure in technet for this but nothing was provided for this, I tried to read the
"readme" and setup documentation provided in the SP 4 download page but its useless since its redirecting again to some other page which again points to same download page, It makes me wonder if there are any procedures provided by Microsoft for
this. Let me know if anyone has it. I don't want to follow any third party websites/ individual bloggers providing best practices/installation procedures.
My Environment: SQL SERVER 2008/ R2 (STANDARD) and these are standalone
machines.
OS: Windows server 2008 R2 STANDARD
With regards,
Gopinath.
With regards, Gopinath.

Copy the patch files to the server
Run the patch file and follow the on-screen instructions
Select the instances that you wish to patch
Allow the patch to finish
Reboot if a reboot is required (the patch will tell you if there were any locked files)

SQL Server Service Pack Support

An existing customer running PO 2.3.4 in production would like to upgrade their database servers from the base SQL Server 2008 R2 installation to either SP1 or SP2. Since these are not explicitly called out as supported in the product documentation, the customer would like to confirm that by applying a service pack they will not be considered to be running an unsupported configuration.
This is a SP customer running orchestration developed as part of a custom AS engagement, so they are not running out-of-the-box IAC content. So the question is being posed from a PO product support standpoint.
Thanks for any information you can provide.

The specific answer for you is yes it is supported. The general answer for MSSQL DB support is that we only document to the R level (MSSQL 2008 or MSSQL 2008 R2) in the compatibility matrix and service packs are supported but not necessarily tested as they come out.

Error with DQS after Installing SQL Server Service Pack 2

When I open the DQS client, I get this error message:
Message Id: VerificationFrameworkVersionNotCompatible
A new version of .NET or Data Quality Services was installed on this machine. In order to continue to work with DQS please run 'DqsInstaller.exe -upgrade'.
However, when I run DQSInstaller.exe, I get this message:
DQS Installer has detected a previous DQS installation under this SQL server instance. Running DQS installer will remove the previous installation, together with all the knowledge stored in it.
Will I lose all my knowledge bases? Is there an upgrade path?

Hi Adolfo Socorro,
According to your description, when you install SQL Server 2012 Service Pack2, the error of
Data Quality Services (DQS) will occur. The cause is that Product Updates will not update the schema of the DQS catalogs, any related MDS catalogs, and the SQL CLR assemblies kept the DQS catalogs. Therefore, extra steps may be required
if the DQS catalog schema needs to be upgraded, or the DQS CLR assemblies have been upgraded by the product update.
If you have previously run the DQSInstaller.exe to build the DQS_MAIN, DQS_PROJECTS, and DQS_Staging_Data catalogs in one or more of the updated instances, you
may need to continue to do the necessary upgrade steps to upgrade the database schemas, such as launch CMD as Administrator
cd "C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL11.InstanceName\MSSQL\Binn" DQSInstaller.exe –upgrade
There is an article about upgrading DQS, you can review the following article.

MSCS SQL Server Service Pack Installation

Dear All,
We are using Microsoft Cluster and i completed Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Installation on Cluster.
Now when i am trying to Install Service Pack 2 of SQL Server i can't get success when both node are running.
But when i swhiched off Node 2 and did installation on Node 1 i get success.
But after finishing Installation on Service Pack 2 i can't get that service pack on Node 2.
Here i want to confirm that i have to do installation of Service Pack 2 on both node ?
Regards,
Nikunj Thaker.

Hi,
Have you run the SQL 2K5 SP2 upgrade on the other node. What happens is that you upgrade the SQL Server binaries on the Clustered instances but not the local files.
If you run SP2 on the "Passive" node it will upgrade server compoments that are not cluster aware (like SSIS). I normally upgrade the Client Components first on the passive node, reboot and then upgrade all components on the active node afterwards.
On a standalone machine - all components are upgraded at the same time - both per instance and the server components so you won't have that issue.

AveConnect driver error after SQL Server service pack upgrade

I am currently testing aveConnect 3.0 (connection optimized) for SQL Server 2000 on a machine we have here.We updated SQL Server with Service Pack 2 & 3 this morning and since then we've been getting the exception below.This is only since we added the service packs to SQL Server,before it worked fine.
java.sql.SQLException: [Avenir][JDBC SQL Server Driver] Connection refused: connect
I also tested it with the older version of AveConnect (2.2) which we've been using until recently,and it returned the same error.

Stopping sql server services while applying Service pack On SQL server 2008 and 2008 R2

Hi,
I am planning to apply service pack 3 for SQL 2008 R2 and Service pack 4 for SQL server 2008. This is my first time and I am applying first QA and DEV environment. I have one confusion. In cluster once you fail over sql resources to active node all of the
sql services including SQLSERVER and Agent are automatically stopped in passive node where we apply service pack. But in Stand alone, The services are not automatically stopped. Do I need to manually stop those services like SQLSERVER, Agent, Browser
and others if any before I start applying service pack?
Early Response is highly appreciated.
Thanks In Advance

Hello,
You don’t need to stop SQL Server services. Let SQL Server setup do it as needed.
Please read the following article for the cluster you would like to update:

SQL Server Service won't start on SQL Server 2008

Hi everyone,
I'm having trouble starting SQL Server service after stopping and starting the service. Before this happened, I created a Stored Procedure for marking all tables at once along with a maintenance plan for differential backup on all my databases based on the
recommendation from this link, http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms253070.aspx.
When I realized that the differential backup failed with some databases displaying (Restoring...) post-fix to the database name, I decided to stop SQL Server service and start it up. That is when I won't be able to start the service again.
Is there a fix for starting the SQL Server service? Any help is very much appreciated.
Additional information:
- With administrator permission granted.
- Service Pack 1 for SQL Server 2008 installed.
- Using default database instance.
- Tried C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.....\Binn>net start MSSQLSERVER /T3608 ( return msg: System error 5 has occurred. Access is denied.
- When I start SQL Server service, I keep getting this dialog msg:
"Windowns could not start the SQL Server (MSSQLSERVER) on Local Computer. For more information, review the System Event Log. If this is a non-Microsoft service, contact the service vendor, and refer to service-specific error code 1814."
The event log does not explain or provide any hint on how to fix the problem.

Hello,
Could you please copy the model.mdf and modellog.ldf from
C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL10.MSSQLSERVER\MSSQL\Binn\Templates
To
C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL10.MSSQLSERVER\MSSQL\DATA
Rebuilding the system databases you will lose lose logins, jobs, SSIS packages. You may have to restore or attach user databases.
Hope this helps.

SCVMM 2008 R2 - "The SQL Server service account does not have permission to access Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS)."

I know this question has been asked before, but never for R2, that I can tell, and the posted fixes aren't working. I have just installed SCVMM 2008 R2 on a Windows Server 2008 R2 server, using a remote SQL 2008 SP1 database. When I attempt to connect to SCVMM, I get the following error:
"The SQL Server service account does not have permission to access Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS).
Ensure that the SQL Server service is running under a domain account or a computer account that has permission to access AD DS. For more information, see "Some applications and APIs require access to authorization information on account objects" in the Microsoft Knowledge Base at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=121054.
ID: 2607"
What I've seen online is that this is usually becuase the domain account SCVMM is running as does not have the proper permissions on the SQL database. Here's what I've confirmed:
1) My SCVMM service account is a local admin on the SCVMM server
2) My SCVMM service account is a dbowner on the SCVMM database in SQL
3) My SQL service account is a dbowner on the SCVMM database in SQL
4) My SQL service account is a domain user (even made it a domain admin, just in case, and it still "doesn't have access to AD DS," which is obviously untrue)
5) Neither service account is locked out
Has anyone run in to this? It says in Technet that remote SQL 2008 is supported, as long as the SQL management studio is installed to the SCVMM server, and I installed and patched before I began the SCVMM installation. I just don't know what else to try - I have no errors in event logs, no issues during the installation itself...

That answer was very unhelpful fr33m4n. The individual mentions that they've received the error that points to the KB article. I currently receive the same error -- there seems to be no resolution. I've run the Microsoft VBS script to add TAUG to the WAAG
as suggested by 331951, and that made absolutely no difference.
1) My SCVMM service account is a local admin on the SCVMM server
2) My SCVMM service account is a dbowner on the SCVMM database in SQL
3) My SQL service account is a dbowner on the SCVMM database in SQL
4) My SQL service account is a domain user (even made it a domain admin, just in case, and it still
"doesn't have access to AD DS," which is obviously untrue)
The user is also a member of WAAG, the machines have delegated authority to each other. Is there any other solution?

Linked Server unable to Connect in SQL Server 2012 after Restarting SQL Server Service it works fine. Why?

I have created a Linked Server to Access Database of 64 MB in Size located in Remote System to SQL Server 2012.In Start for Some time it works fine and after it is giving the Error
OLE DB provider "Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0" for linked server "LANDLINE_TEST" returned message "Cannot open a database created with a previous version of your application.".
Msg 7303, Level 16, State 1, Procedure Insert_Records_Into_Actual_Calls_History, Line 29
Cannot initialize the data source object of OLE DB provider "Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0" for linked server "LANDLINE_TEST".
Previously I thought it as Permission Issue. By trying some fixes proposed in forums it not fixed. But, after restarting the SQL Server Services without changes to the linked Server it works perfectly. How could i fix it. I don't want restart the SQL Server
Service it leads to Some other process failures.

After all the Errors, When I am restarting the SQL Server its working correctly.
Whats the problem it is clearing itself after restarting of SQL Server. Why ?. I can't find anything regarding this in SQL Server .
The following are the Errors i got connecting to SQl Server.
OLE DB provider "Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0" for linked server "LANDLINE_TEST" returned message "Cannot open a database created with a previous version of your application.".
Msg 7303, Level 16, State 1, Procedure Insert_Records_Into_Actual_Calls_History, Line 29
Cannot initialize the data source object of OLE DB provider "Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0" for linked server "LANDLINE_TEST".
Error-2:

After unchecking the Allow In Process in OLEDB.ACE Provider Properties.

Cannot obtain the required interface ("IID_IDBCreateCommand") from OLE DB provider "Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0" for linked server "LANDLINE_TEST".
for to fix above error i have followed the instructions in the following link,
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/dataaccesstechnologies/archive/2010/08/19/permissions-needed-to-set-up-linked-server-with-out-of-process-provider.aspx
This also failed to work. I Restarted SQL Server and make the Linked Server Properties Default to my Configuration and it works fine.
Can you suggest me a solution for this issue. Every time i don't want to restart SQL Server Services as it effects other jobs and Processes.
Thank you.

SQL Server Configuration Manager 2008 - Slow to bring back SQL Services

HI
WMI queries are taking ~ 1 minute to bring up SQL Server services using the SQL server Configuration manager 2008. The cluster is a two node cluster with ~ 6 instances installed. Each node is running Windows 2008 R2 64 Bit and has been configured
according to best practice guidelines.
Do I need to re-build the WMI repository on each node in the cluster? Are their any associated risks?
Any guidance would be appreciated.
Cheers
Rob

Hello,
As already noted, this invokes WMI. I would start there and check to make sure the WMI processes aren't bloated or otherwise running out of memory or handles. I've had issues with this when running with things like IBM Director and Tivoli products that have
large numbers of WMI queries. This blog post may also help you getting started:
