Change installation directory for SQL 2008 SP3 or CU

My C drive is full, Server built long time ago. Not enough space available in C Drive but other local drive have storage.
Is there anywhere i can use my other drive for patching or apply CU.
Env: win 2003 ,SQL 2008 SP1
Hi,
Why dont you move SQL server user data file and log file from C drive to other drives this will create space. It would require a SQL Server restart

Change installation directory for Anyconnect client

Hi guys,
Is possible change installation path for web-deploy of Cisco Anyconnect 3.x or 4.0 installed from ASA?
In my case, I need upgrade client from version 2.5 to 3.X or 4.0 and I need achive directory like in 2.5 version.
Version 2.5 directory: "c:\Program Files\Cisco\Cisco AnyConnect VPN Client"
Version 3.X directory: "c:\Program Files\Cisco\Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client"
Thank you

Sorry but I don't believe Cisco provides the ability to modify the destination directory.

Creative Cloud - BUG Changing Installation Directory for Apps

I searched and could only find this similar post here
http://forums.adobe.com/message/5498967#5498967
Which stated the issue I am experiencing. In the preferences of the creative cloud desktop program I changed the installation directory to D drive because I have my main hard drive partitioned and the programs would take up too much space on C. Regardless of the change in preferences the applications were still installing to my C drive. I tried restarting and reinstalling and nothing seemed to work.
Finally I decided to reallocate my D partition back to C, I have yet to complete this because I am waiting for all the data on D to be transferred to an external drive so I can recombine it to C without losing data ( I don't know if this is necessary, I haven't recombined partitions in the operating system before, but just to be safe)
ANYWAY
As I am waiting for the transfer (Over 120gbs takes a while) I changed the installation directory in the Creative Cloud preferences back to C and went ahead and installed the program I was trying to prior to all this. Guess What? It installed to my D drive!!!
This isn't a serious bug for me, just incredibly annoying and causing a lot of extra work on my part just to install the program I wanted. However for someone who requires a different directory to install to and cannot rearrange their computer to accommodate this bug I could see it being more serious. Has anyone else had this issue and did you find a solution? Thanks.
P.S. Adobe you rock, I hope your other CC programs don't feel rushed for release like your installer does

ADOBE WILL TRY TO DELETE YOUR LEGACY APPS!!!! Do NOT let them! They could put you out of business! Here is a tech support transcript, see for yourselves:
Vipin: May I have your permission to connect to your computer remotely and try to solve the problem while you watch?
ADOBE CUSTOMER: I need to know that NONE of my legacy adobe apps will be affected. CS5 suite and CS6 products will NOT be affected is that right??????????????
info: Your chat transcript will be sent to dixxx.net at the end of your chat.
Vipin: It will be affected.
ADOBE CUSTOMER: WHOA! you are saying that my CS% and CS 6 apps will be hurt and not run correctly is that right?
Vipin: We need to remove all the Adobe apps installed on your computer.
Vipin: Is that okay.
Vipin: May I have your permission to connect to your computer remotely and try to solve the problem while you watch?
ADOBE CUSTOMER: There is no way I give permission to delete CS5 creative suite, CS6 video production suite or hurt them in any way what so ever. I have THOUSANDS of dollars of plugins and other workfow products that depend on them. Sorry but my only recourse is to
ADOBE CUSTOMER: see if you have ANY loyalty to an OVER 30 years adobe customer (me) when you demand payout for the remaining 5 months of the subscription. I'm betting you will just send the bill to collections for non payment. If so, you WILL be sued for non service and non delivery of product. And yes, I am ready to spend over xxxx on a suit vs adobe because of how you have treated me. The point is I know that I am not alone, and that's sad.
Then after TECH NO SUPPORT, CSRs try to 'handle' me:
If you do decide to cancel, we can refund your subscription.
If you stay with the service, we can provide 2 free months as an apology for the technical difficulties. We cannot provide a free year.
Please let me know which you would like to do.
Thanks,
Britt

ADOBE CUSTOMER:You want me to stay with a service that provides no product? And has not provided me with a usable product since October of 2014? And now the word is out that you are raising subscription prices after the first year? Who do you think you are? You HURT peoples ability to earn a living! You cost us hours and days and months trying trying to fix your problems so we can move forward with your products? Who in the hell do you think you are? Tell you what, dont cancel a thing. A media blitz and maybe a subpoena to San Jose is the right move to protect peoples rights. Your company needs to learn a lesson in how to treat legacy customers. It seems no one has taught you that "if you take care of the customer, they will take care of adobe." Britt, care to guess how many dollars I have given adobe in almost 30 years?
Adobe Creative Cloud Hi ADOBE CUSTOMER:
We value all our customers and would love to help resolve your issue. Would you like to arrange a callback with tech support? I can make sure the technician is a senior staff member that can offer more troubleshooting solutions. Let me know if you would like to schedule this, and what a suitable time would be.

ADOBE CUSTOMER: You see, that is EXACTLY how you should take care of a customer. Tell them they are wrong and have it NOT RELATED to a simple request to FIX a company software PROBLEM. Tell your customers that after FOUR months of unusability of your product, DAYS of the customer trying to fix the company problem, that your solution is give them TWO months FREE then JACK the price up for them! You MUST have thousands of people in LINE to YOU to get this celebrated DEAL!

I would hush up now before you have to look for a different job because I know you mean well BUT you have no experience or skills solving a client's issues and in fact, you are hurting adobe's future earnings.

ADOBE CUSTOMER: The Russian cracked version of PS 2014 will have to do on another clients machine until you have a total new WORKING release. I'm tired of being your company's test pig, doing the boiler plate cleaner routines, and having the same failures. It's one thing to have broken software, but NOT acceptable to treat customers the way I have been treated, and then, be greedy on a remediation offer from you.
You say,"We value all our customers." Again, clearly NO ONE from the BOD has taught you that if you take care of the customer, then the customer will take care of adobe.
You guys and gals have essentially asked for a fight, and a fight you shall have. good night.

Help -- sql 2008 SP3 (x64) and sql 2012 R2 SMO

We have a sql 2008 x64 sql server with SP3. We need to upgrade a third-party app (related to our SAN) and it needs to install
a. Microsoft Visual C++ 2012 Redistributable Package (x64)
b. Microsoft SQL Server 2012 CLR Types (x64)
c. Microsoft Sql 2012 R2 Management Objects (x64)
Are there any known compatibility issues installing these on a sql 2008 SP3 server?
TIA,
edm2

Hello,
The components you post above are stand-alone packages that provide additional value for Microsoft SQL Server 2012. The installation of these components will not effect the previous installed SQL Server instance.
SQL Server Management Objects (SMO) is a .NET Framework object which can will work with SQL Server 2005, SQL Server 2008, SQL Server 2008 R2, and SQL Server 2012. You can download the SQL Server Management Objects (SMO) and the requisite CLR Types from

Where is the management Studio for SQL 2008 Express?

Can anyone point me to where I can download the management studio for SQL 2008 Express.
I've downloaded and installed SQL 2008 Express without problem but can't find the management studio.
Help.

Paradox1 said:
The 2008 version of the Management Studio is not a stand alone installation and can only be installed as part of the SQL Server 2008 Express with Tools or Advanced installation.
Like many others, I spent countless hours trying to figure out how to install the Management Studio for SQL Server 2008 Express - Advanced installation (same should apply to the w/ Tools version). What happened in my case was that I installed Visual Studio 2008 Express and during that process a stripped down "Instance" of SQL Server 2008 was installed that did not include the Management Studio. Through much pain and torture I learned that the Management Studio can only be installed during installation of the first instance. To delete that first instance, you must go to "Add or Remove Programs" and remove "Microsoft SQL Server 2008". The removal process will only remove one instance at a time and if you have installed more than one instance you need to keep going until all instances have been removed and the application completely disappears from the Add or Remove Programs" dialog. Note: You do not need to uninstall any of the other SQL Server 2008 applications that also appear in the "Add or Remove Programs" dialog. Then go back through the install process as follows: Double click on SQLEXPRADV_x86_ENU.exe to load the SQL Server Installation Center and then go to Installation > New SQL Server stand-alone installation. Then proceed through all of the installation steps until you get to “Feature Selection” and click on “Select All” to toggle on all of the Shared Features, which should include Management Tools - Basic.Continue the process from there and you should be good to go. Hopefully this will help others to avoid much of the pain that many of us have already experienced.

How to set default directory for SQL LOADER

hi all,
i wanted to know how can we setup a default directory for SQL LOADER if at all we can. i connot place my control and data files in local system and use them at command prompt. rather i wanted to know if we can set default directory that the loader can use. this requirement is basically to enable all the clients to upload the data placed on the server and use the loader utility.
thanks in advance,
Basavraj

Ella,
You don't say which version of SQL Developer you are using via Citrix, but just setting the SQLDEVELOPER_USER_DIR hasn't worked for a long time (see Re: SQLDEVELOPER_USER_DIR does not function anymore). Also, since version 1.5, the default for the user directory (now set via ide.user.dir as shown below) is under the user profile area (relative to %APPDATA%), which you should be able to write to, even on Citrix.
Assuming that neither of those help, you will need to get whoever installed SQL Developer on the Citrix C: drive to modify the sqldeveloper.conf to have a line like, where the path exists for everyone who will be using the shared SQL Developer (assumes everyone has a H: drive):
AddVMOption -Dide.user.dir=H:\sqldeveloperAn alternative (depending on how you start SQL Developer via Citrix), is to create your own shortcut to start SQL Developer with something like:
sqldeveloper -J-Dide.user.dir="%SQLDEVELOPER_USER_DIR%"theFurryOne

Sharepoint 2007 and SQL 2008 SP3 on Windows Server 2008 Enterprise SP2 (64-bit)

Is there any documentation we can check if SQL 2008 SP3 is compatible with Sharepoint 2007 SP2 or SP3? Both Sharepoint and SQL servers are running on separate Virtual machines (Windows Server 2008 Enterprise SP2(64-bit)). Currently DB is running on
SQL server 2008 SP2, and we would like to have SP3 loaded on it, but want to find if there is any compatibility issue?
Thanks in advance!

I'm not aware of any known issues with SQL Server 2008 SP3 and SharePoint 2007. I did a quick check and saw one person reporting an issue with their Central Admin site after applying the SQL Server update, but that's it.
With that being said, I would strongly encourage you to test out the application of that SQL Server service pack in a non-production environment well before you apply it in production. There is always a chance that your environment has something set up in
it that would cause an unexpected issue, and the best way to get an idea of whether or not an issue exists is by doing it somewhere else first before you do it in prod.

Any known issues with SCOM 2007 R2 after upgrading to SP2 for SQL 2008 R2 ?

Are there any known or reported issues in SCOM 2007 R2 after installing SP2 for SQL server 2008 R2 ? Currently running RTM version of SQL Server 2008 R2.

Hi There,
As a testing purpose long time back i did this. I did this step by step
I installed SCOM 2007R2 with SQL server 2008 with SP1 initially.
Then upgraded to 2008 SP2.
Then upgraded to 2008 SP3
Then upgraded to 2008 R2.
Then upgraded to 2008 R2 SP1
Finally to SP2
I dint find any issue.
I just kept on adding service packs upon each other. Except for upgradation to 2008 to 2008 r2 i used the installation media then the SP1 & SP2 files. to upgrade to service packs.
If you want to go to directly SP2 i would suggest you install SP1 and then install SP2.
Every thing is fine in the LAB equipment i tried this.

Data Services 4.0 installation with MS SQL 2008

hey guys,
I am trying to install data services 4.0 on a windows server with MS SQL database as the repository database. So, my plan was to install MS SQL 2008 first, then IPS, then data services. But i am facing a problem in installation of MS SQL itself. I installed MS SQL with following features - database engine, client tools and management tools. The installation process was smooth and the sql server services (server and agent) both startup just fine. I installed a custom instance for the same.
But problem is when I open the management studio and try to connect to the database engine, it does not connect, I choose database engine as the server type, local hostname as the server name and windows authentication as the authentican type but it fails with the following error:
TITLE: Connect to Server
Cannot connect to <myservername>.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server. The server was not found or was not accessible. Verify that the instance name is correct and that SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections. (provider: Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 - Could not open a connection to SQL Server) (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 53)
For help, click: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink?ProdName=MicrosoftSQLServer&EvtSrc=MSSQLServer&EvtID=53&LinkId=20476
BUTTONS:
OK
Any clues as to what is causing this ??? Or is it normal at this stage of installation ?? I am confused. I have already tried to reinstall the server, no good, nothing in the event logs either.
Thanks,
RS

resolved via following:
In the TCP/IP Properties dialog box, on the IP Addresses tab, several IP addresses appear in the format IP1, IP2, up to IPAll. One of these is for the IP address of the loopback adapter, 127.0.0.1. Additional IP addresses appear for each IP Address on the computer. Right-click each address, and then click Properties to identify the IP address that you want to configure.
If the TCP Dynamic Ports dialog box contains 0, indicating the Database Engine is listening on dynamic ports, delete the 0.u201D
Once I deleted those zeros and put in 1433 for TCP ports on each IP address, voila!

PCM installation on MS SQL 2008 R2

I am installating PCM 7.5 on MS SQL 2008 R2, but it gives me an error, the message is "Failed to connect to the Primary Server. The following error occurred: 80880007 Incorrect Database Version".
Is there a new installation which works for R2 version?
Thanks in advance.

The error you are receiving is usually raised because of an incorrect database script. Did you check the output log file when you ran the script? SAP Note [1203230|http://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1203230] mentions this error message and how to check which script has been run in the database.
The Product Availability Matrix ([PAM|http://service.sap.com/~form/handler?_APP=00200682500000001303&_EVENT=DISP_NEW&00200682500000002804=01200314690900001423]) for PCM 7.5 provides information on compatability between OS and DB. Also SAP Note [1562900|http://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1562900] indicates MS SQL 2008 R2 is supported with PCM 7.5 SP12.
