Cannot upgrade a Server 2000 VM to Server 2003

Hello!
I have a Server 2008 R2 Enterprise SP1 Hyper-V server, and I have a VM of an ancient Windows 2000 Advanced Server. I need to test an in-place upgrade of that VM to Server 2003 Enterprise for a legacy app.
When I attempt the in-place upgrade, it reboots normally once about half way through the upgrade and goes back into the setup, then gets to the final stages, reboots, and then I get a BSOD with 0x0000007B error, inaccessible boot device.
Has anyone here successfully done an in-place upgrade inside of a VM going from 2000 to 2003?
A fresh installation of 2003 into a VM works fine.
I cannot wrap my head around why a perfectly running 2000 VM would suddenly not be able to find the boot device when upgraded to 2003. If a fresh install of 2003 recognizes the VM and boots properly, why wouldn't it do the same in an upgrade in a VM?
I am trying other methods and have been Googling it for hours.
Thank you!
Gregg Hill

OK, I swear I don't drink booze or do drugs, but I think I may need to start! I am going to go straight to crack.
I just followed the same steps I have done five times before (definition of insanity?!), and this time, the 2000 to 2003 upgrade worked.
- Started with a fully-patched 2000 Advanced Server VM.
- Removed the Integration Services and rebooted.
- Started the 2003 upgrade from within the VM.
- Got the same black screen that I was getting before with "A disk read error occurred, "Press Ctrl-Alt-Del to restart" on the screen after
the first reboot
- Set the VM to boot from the CD first, then when it said "Hit any key to boot from CD," I hit a key. At that point it asked if I wanted
to continue the upgrade. Making that choice lets it continue.
- Prior to this installation, the VM would reboot half way through the installation steps, then start back up and finish the installation.
After the final reboot, it would BSOD with the 7B error. This time, it did NOT reboot at the half way mark.
- This time, for reasons unknown, the same exact steps successfully installed the upgrade.
I am going to back up this VM and try it again. Yes, I am a glutton for punishment, but I need to know WHY it worked this time.
Strange stuff!

Changes required to switch from SQL Server 2000 to SQL Server 2005?

I'm converting a legacy app from SQL Server 2000 to SQL Server 2005. The app is written in VB6 and utilizes CR 8 OCX. When I invoke a report from VB I'm getting Error# 20599 Cannot open SQL server. I redefined the ODBC DSN specifying Windows Authentication, and the SQL Server instance supports mixed mode.
Searching for the error, I found an article that suggests I need p2sodbc8.zip, but I can't find a link to it in the Downloads area.
Would greatly appreciate any help at all - including a link to p2sodbc8.zip if that's the likely resolution.
Thanks in advance,
Pete

Hi Peter,
As you are having issue with SDK's.
I would suggest you to post your question in
Business Objects SDK Application Development » [Legacy Application Development SDKs|;
That forum is monitored by qualified technicians and you will get a faster response there. Also, all SDK queries remain in one place and thus can be easily searched in one place.
Thank you for your understanding,

When running STM (SAP Tools for SQL Server) on the target server I get the following error:
- Errors when executing sql command: (Microsoft)(ODBC SQL Server Driver)(SQL Server)Could not find stored procedure u2018sap_use_var_MAXu2019.

2. If the problem occurred following a system copy from SQL Server 2000 to SQL Server 2005 or later then execute the following statements:

Where 'sid' is the SAPSID of your system in lower case.
setuser 'dev'
exec sap_use_var_MAX

Could not find stored procedure 'sap_use_var_MAX'.
Request
I'm thinking if any one of you is able to access an SAP system on SQL Server (2005 or other) with the above mentioned stored procedure present you could scipt it to a txt file and post it here in order for me to create it manually on my system.
I've checked several SAP Notes on this subject and none of them explains how to create this store procedure from scratch, they all just assume it's already there and tell you to execute it.
Thank you.

I was able to solve this issue just now the following way:
- A friend of mine scripted it to a file which I then used to create the sap_use_var_MAX on the target database.
Here is a copy of that file:
USE [<SID>]
GO
SET ANSI_NULLS ON
GO
SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON
GO
create proc [<sid>].[sap_use_var_MAX] as
begin
declare @tabname sysname
declare @colname sysname
declare @datatype sysname
declare @nullflag nvarchar(1)
declare @cmd nvarchar(1024)
declare @n_altered int
declare c cursor for
    select t.TABLE_NAME,c.COLUMN_NAME,c.DATA_TYPE,
              nullflag = substring(c.IS_NULLABLE,1,1)
      from INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS c,
           INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES t
      where c.TABLE_NAME = t.TABLE_NAME AND
            c.TABLE_SCHEMA = t.TABLE_SCHEMA AND
            t.TABLE_TYPE like '%TABLE%' AND
            c.TABLE_SCHEMA = schema_name() AND
            c.DATA_TYPE IN ('text','ntext','image')
      order by t.TABLE_NAME,c.COLUMN_NAME
open c
set @n_altered = 0
fetch next from c into @tabname,@colname,@datatype,@nullflag
while (@@fetch_status <> -1)
begin
    if (@@fetch_status <> -2)
    begin
      set @cmd = N'alter table [' + @tabname +
                  N'] alter column [' + @colname +
                  N'] '
      if @datatype = N'text'
        set @cmd = @cmd + N'varchar(MAX)'
      else if @datatype = N'ntext'
        set @cmd = @cmd + N'nvarchar(MAX)'
      else

Mind you, you'll have to change <SID> and <sid> acoordingly, considering also if your db is dbo schema or sid schema owned!
Thank you for your help nonetheless!

Moving sql server 2000 to sql server 2014

Moving sql server 2000 to sql server 2014. Could someone please give me steps to move everything from sql 2000 one server to sql 2014. I have 2 instance on sql 2000. 8 databases on each of them. On both instances we have store procedure and jobs.

i think your SQL Server 2000 is hosted on old Windows server version so based on that you should prepare new environment for SQL Server 2014 from Win Server 2012 Sp1 and SQL Server 2014 and build your clusters then start your Migration from Old Servers to
new servers and here below is 10 configurations outlines that you should look after carefully for any DB consolidation or migration from a server to a server and indeed they represent unique potentials for your DB Consolidation /migration service that
can leverage distinctly your service quality and shape you very well in front of your customers:
1- Backup DBs and restore DBs with ZERO down time and ZERO data loss in the same time …Awesome …!
2- Cloning all DB special features that are not covered by backups and restores such as :
RCSI (Read committed snapshot isolation level using row versioning)
Service brokers
Encryption keys and certificates
3- Cloning identically all SQL logins with their mapped DB users including their passwords (if SQL authenticated logins ) and privileges on both server and DB levels .
4- Copying .rdl and .rds files between different versions of reporting services where backup and restore reportserver and reportservertemp DBs is not an option
5- Cloning all special Jobs like certain business jobs configured to perform some business stuff .
6- Cloning all mail profiles with their mail accounts
7- Cloning all Linked server + Aliases might be used inside old DB servers
8- Cloning some server configurations like CLR ,CPU parallelism, Replication size , Network packet size , optimize for ad hoc workloads
9- Cloning all Replications configurations for publishers and subscribers
10- Cloning all DTC configurations for both local and clustered DTC services

Upgrade SQL From the SQL Server 2000 to SQL Server 2008

hello:
I am running the following query. This query is based on SQL server 2008. POIShare is a view which is created by the table.
"select PoiShare.AddressCode,REPLACE(PoiShare.NameSpell,' ','') as NameSpell,PoiShareOffset.Offset from PoiShare, PoiShareOffset where POIShare.AddressCode & 0xFF000000 = %COUNTRY_ADCODE% and PoiShare.POIID = PoiShareOffset.POIID order by PoiShare.AddressCode,PoiShare.NameSpell"

"PoiShare.NameSpell" is not sorted. I try to solve this problem.but It doesn't work.
I tried some ways.
1.Sort all of the field
2.Using "COLLATE Cyrillic_General_CI_AI_KS_WS" to "NameSpell"
3.Create index for "NameSpell"
4.Using "cast(replace(PoiShare.NameSpell,',','') as bigint)",But SQL returned an error
5.Install SQL SP1
any help is greatly appreciated.

SELECT * FROM <<VIEW>>
ORDER BY <<COLUMN>>
The query above work fine in SQL Server 2008. NameSpell has already been sorted, thank you.

Removing Server 2000 DC and adding Server 2008 DC.

Removing Server 2000 DC and adding Server 2008 DC.
From: Server 2000 Sp4 (not leaving in place, no plans to demote)
To: Server 2008 Sp2 (will be a single DC and hold Global Catalog)
Single forest domain. Only one DC.
Problem: The old server 2000 is still a primary DC and the new server 2008 is not taking over.
Completed the following tasks:
NIC binding (connected NIC at top of list on new server)
New server is also DNS server. This role is working and it points to itself 127.0.0.1 and clients have been moved to use the new server for DNS, they are working.
New server has some shared folders. Clients are connected and this is working until we remove the old server, then they cannot authenticate to the mapped drive.
Both servers show the role of Domain Controller
Adprep /forestprep and /domainprep and /domainprep /gpprep were run on the server 2000 (as it was the existing DC) with a successful message. (not sure if enough time was allowed for replication)
All five Flexible Single Master Operations (FSMO) roles were transferred using GUI.
Schema Master, Domain naming master, Infrastructure master, RID master, PDC Emulator.
And have been verified. All roles transferred and the new server 2008 and new server is also the global catalog.
Then to verify new server is handling the role we unplugged the Ethernet cable from the Old server 2000, then went to client stations and re-started them and they would not find the new DC and connect to it.
On the new server when we opened active directory users and computers the domain did not appear.
Verified in DNS manager the A record and reverse pointer were correct.
For some reason the new server is looking to the old server. Even though all roles are moved over and DNS appears to be setup correctly it won’t exist independently.
What’s missing?
If something was missed or performed wrong, do we have to remove the roles and start from scratch? Or can we re-run adprep and walk the steps again leaving all as-is?

Hello,
as first step please post an unedited ipconfig /all from the old and new DC/DNS server and one problem client.
It seems that your installation from the new DC wen't well and as described in
http://msmvps.com/blogs/mweber/archive/2010/02/06/upgrading-an-active-directory-domain-from-windows-server-2000-to-windows-server-2008-or-windows-server-2008-r2.aspx Just check again yourself.
A DC should NEVER be shutdown or just disconnected from a domain, it MUST be demoted correct, as you ruin into replication errors in the event viewer without that steps and you will never be able to install a additional DC with using the same name.
See the end of my article about removal steps.

Is Windows Server 2000 supported by 2005 or 2007?

I have a client that is wanting to upgrade to 2007 A PL48. They are running Windows Server 2000 and SQL Server 2005. All of the documentation (sizing guides) I have read only mentions Windows Server 2003 as being compatable for even the 2005 versions. They are currently running 2005 PL32. Am I missing something or is Windows 2000 not supported?

SQL Server 2000 std Report Performance Issue

Dear All,
I have a VB based desktop application with back end MS SQL server 2000 database with server machine ibmx5650 with specs intel xeon 2.7GHz (24 CPU's) & 24GB RAM.
There are two things i need help:
Recently we have upgrade the SQL server from 2000 personal edition to the 2000 standard edition. There comes a problem with one of the Report in the application. The report took almost 30 mins previously in SQL 2000 personal edition.But after the upgrade
to Standard edition we are unable to view report before 3 hours even sometimes it doesn't appear after several hours.
Secondly for brief testing i have installed the personal edition on a simple PC rather then a server PC specs are corei5 & 4 GB of RAM. The same report is generated in only 15 mins from the application with this desktop machine as DB server.
Please help me out i have gone through all SQL Server & system performance log of my server machine everything is normal but the report is taking too long & i can only generate that report from personal edition.
Is there the difference due the higher corei5 processor in desktop machine or there is any other issue behind this.
Your prompt response is highly appreciated.

Rashid Ali

Which is the best way to migrate the SQL SERVER 2000 Database to SQL SERVER 2003 Database?

Hi,
I need to migrate the Production database sql server 2000 to Sql server 2003, Please give me the best idea to migrate the database without any loss data, credentials and Objects.
Nandha Kumar

SQL server does not have any version named SQL server 2003 please check the version correctly it should be either SQL 2005,2008,2008 R2,2012
You can use the backup/restore to upgrade the SQL 2000 database to till SQL 2005,2008,2008R2
For SQL Server 2000 to 2012
First upgrade from SQL 2000 database to either SQL 2005, 2008 or 2008R2 and than upgrade it to SQL 2012.

And after migration to SQL 2005 or 2008, if you want to script the database than can generate scripts pick DB and check off "script all objects in the selected database".

SQL Server 2000\2005 compatibility with Active Directory 2012

Hi All,
We are currently using Active Directory 2003 and will be upgrading to AD 2012. I'm trying to determine if there is any known compatibility issues when running older versions of SQL Server (2000 and 2005) when upgrading to AD 2012. I've
read forums from when others went from AD 2003 to AD 2008 and didn't experience any issues. We have the newer versions of SQL but I'm not too concerned about these. Any advice would be greatly appreciated? Has anyone been through
this process.
Thanks,

Hi CraftsmanRobert,
Based on my understanding, you used Active Directory 2003, then it would be upgraded to Active Directory 2012. You wanted to run older versions of SQL Server (2000 and 2005) with Active Directory 2012.
Firstly, there can be a compatibility problem when run older version with Active Directory 2012. SQL Server 2005 (the release version and service packs) and earlier versions of SQL Server are not supported on Windows Server 2012 R2, Windows Server 2012,
Windows 8.1, or Windows 8. For more information, please refer to this article: How to use SQL Server in Windows and Windows Server environments (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2681562/en-us).
Besides, Microsoft doesn’t provide assisted support for SQL Server 2000 and SQL Server 2005 already. Please upgrade the existing instance of SQL Server 2000 and SQL Server 2005 to a new version like SQL Server 2012. You can download SQL Server 2012 Express
from this link:

Hi
Is there any query to find the restore percentage on the Database?
thanks in advance.
Regards, Pradyothana DP http://www.dbainhouse.blogspot.in/

If you are still using SQL Server 2000, then you need to quickly check on migrating to later version. Microsoft will no longer be supporting SQL Server 2000.
Hello,
I agree with Latheesh's opinion. I strongly recommend you consider upgrading SQL Server 2000 to higher version. Here are some articles for your reference, please see:

Migrating an Oracle Forms 4.5 application from Windows Server 2000 to 2003

We are upgrading a number of servers from Windows Server 2000 to Windows Server 2003 (Standard Edition, R2). Can we re-install Forms 4.5 on 2003 and what is involved. If not, what can we do.
Kind regards,
Malcolm

Forms 4.5 has been desupported way before Windows 2003 was ever available. So, you can be sure that Forms 4.5 is not supported on Windows 2003. You could give it a try, but you could very well run into problems.
