Excel 2007 Download Error from SQL Server 2012

Thank you for your help/comments in advance
We are running SQL Server 2012, downloading SSRS reports into Excel 2007.
The report renders to the monitor just fine.
Most downloads are fine but we get an error with the largest downloads (common denominator) but can be hit or miss.  Usually a second try it will download.  Today we tried numerous times and kept getting the error.
I saw a link to a service pack fix ...https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd255234(v=sql.110).aspx which somewhat fits my issue.
The Report Server Log (O:\MSRS11.MSSQLSERVER\Reporting Services\LogFiles\ReportServerService__04_01_2015.log) gives the following error message:

  • Upgrading from SQL Server 2012 Standard to SQL Server 2014 Standard Failover Cluster

    Goal: To upgrade my default instance from SQL Server 2012 to SQL Server 2014 in a failover cluster.
    Given:
    1) Operating System Windows 2012 R2
    2) 2 Virtual Machines in a cluster with SQL Server as a Guest Cluster resource.  The two VMS are called APPS08 and APPS09.  They are our development environment that is setup similar to our production environment.
    Problem:  When running the SQL Server 2014 upgrade, I started on the VM that was not running the instance.  I then moved onto upgrading on the node that was running the instance.  As soon as the install attempt to failover the running instance
    an install error occurred that it could not failover.  After many install attempts I consistently received the error
    The SQL Server Failover cluster instance name 'Dev01'
    already exists as a cluster resource.  Opening Failover cluster manager there is no record of a DEV01.
    New Strategy:  Create a SQLCluster called DEV07.  At the end of the Install I get 'Resource for instance 'MSSQLSERVER' should not exists.  Neither I nor my Windows 2012 guy understand what Resource the install may be referring to.  
    We do not see anything out of the ordinary.
    Any suggestions as to what Resource may be seeing the default instance would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi PSCSQLDBA,
    As your description, you want to upgrade the default instance in SQL Server cluster.
    >> 'SQL Server failover cluster instance name 'Dev01' already exists as cluster resource'
    This error could occur when there is a previously used instance name which may not be removed completely.
    To work around the issue, please use one of the ways below.
    1. At command prompt, type Cluster res. This command will list you all the resources including orphan resources. To delete the orphan resource, type Cluster res <resource name>/delete.
    For more information about the process, please refer to the article:
    http://gemanjyothisqlserver.blogspot.in/2012/12/sql-2008r22012-cluster-installation.html
    2. Delete DNS entries, and force a replication of DNS to the other DNS servers.
    For more information about the process, please refer to the article:
    http://jon.netdork.net/2011/06/07/failed-cluster-install-and-name-already-exists/#solution
    >> 'Resource for instance 'MSSQLSERVER' should not exist'
    This error could occur when you already have MSSQLSERVER as a resource in the cluster, which may not be removed completely. To work around the issue, you could rebuild the SQL Server cluster node.

    Remove WSUS role
    Delete the SUSDB on the remote SQL server
    Reboot the server
    Reinstall WSUS feature
    Reinstall SUP
    Take a look at my blog on installing a SUP on 2012 from the section 'Install WSUS on the remote SUP server'

    Hi,
    Check if SQL Server service is running fine. I doubt you may have changed the user account password used for SQL Server service. After restarting the machine, you also need to update the user account of SQL Server service in Configuration
    Manager. Re-type the user account name and password under Log on tab and see how it helps.
    Thanks.

  • Error Installing SQL Server 2012 Express LocalDB on Windows 8.1 64-bit

    TriSys Business Software

    Hello,
    Did you install .NET Framework 4.0 or enable .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 on Windows 8.1 which is requirement for SQL Server 2012? 
    SQL Server installs .NET 4.0 during the feature installation step. But if you are installing the SQL Server Express editions, ensure that an Internet connection is available on the computer. SQL Server Setup downloads and installs the .NET Framework 4
    because it is not included in the SQL Server Express media.
    In you case, please try to download and install
    .NET Framework 4.0 or
    .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 and then run the SQL Server setup.exe again.

  • Trying to install features for PowerPivot and Reporting Services from SQL Server 2012 with SP2, but no access to key?

    Hi,
    I had installed SQL Server 2012 PowerPivot on WFE and App Server. This is test farm with 1 WFE and 1 APP and 1 SQL Server.
    However, we had a heap of issues with Windows Claims Authentication and PowerPivot - issues were raised with "unable to make a connection to EntityDataSource" . Now we uninstalled the PowerPivot and Reporting Services features and wanted to install
    with the SQL Server 2012 with SP2. Originally SP2 was installed seperately and we had read there had been issues.
    Anyway on trying to install the features again using the SQL Server 2012 with SP2 iso I get 
    Could not open key UNKNOWN\Components
    I don't want to start deleting or changing permissions as quite dodgey. What is this key for anyway and how do I resolve my issue.
    Thanks.
    John.

    Hi John,
    Did you meet the error message during the process of configuring the PowerPivot for SharePoint?
    If yes, I suppose that the existing features or components have not been uninstalled completely.
    I recommend to delete the two keys left when uninstalling the PowerPivot and please make a copy of the registry keys before you delete the two keys:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shared Tools\Web Server Extensions\15.0\WSS\ServiceProxies\Microsoft.AnalysisServices.Sharepoint.Integration.MidTierServiceProxy
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shared Tools\Web Server Extensions\15.0\WSS\ServiceProxies\Microsoft.AnalysisServices.Sharepoint.Integration.MidTierServicea
    Please check the steps in the link below to see if there anything wrong when you uninstalling the PowerPivot and then re-install it to see how it works:

    Hi, I am working on a third party application which is using Postgresql version 9 database and I am trying create a linked server in SQL Server 2012 using the below stored procedure.

    Hi,
    Previously, I had done OGG integrated capture from downstream mining database. In that case SourceDB, Downstream MiningDB and TargetDB, all databases were Oracle.
    MiningDB was in sync with source for log shipping and OGG extract was hooked with MiningDB to capture changes and apply on targetDB by replicat.
    This time, I am looking for similar solution for SourceDB as MS SQL Server 2012. Exploring my options as I am not allowed to let OGG extract directly capture from source database.
    I have to come up with a solution where source database can ship logs to another location (miningDB) and let OGG extract capture from there.
    What could be my options ??? Appreciate your suggestions???
    Thanks

    Hi,
    You can move post to Golden Gate forum and also add following more information: 
    I see you are using Integrated it means the version is either 11 or higher.
    1, Add GG version   11/12 ?
    2. Add Oracle DB Version 10/11/12
    In Oracle downstream, basically you ship the archive logs to the downstream server but have you thought how is the transnational logs handled in SQL Server ?
    HTH,

  • Moving databases from SQL Server 2012 to SQL Server 2014

    Hi
    I need to move all my SP 2013 databases from a SQL Server 2012 to a SQL Server 2014. I have read these articles:
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc512725(v=office.15).aspx
    http://sharepointpromag.com/sharepoint-administration/simple-guide-moving-sharepoint-content-databases-new-server
    The TechNet article says:
    The new database server must run either the same version of Windows Server and SQL Server as the existing database server or one of the following versions:
    SQL Server 2008
    SQL Server 2012
    SQL Server 2014
    And the article in SharePoint Pro Magazine says:
    Obviously you’ll need your target SQL server (or instance) installed and configured. It should use the same version and patch level of SQL Server as the source SQL server
    So I'm a bit confused. Which article is right?
    Thanks
    Jakob

    it is fully supported and a simple process to move to a new sql server (anything 2008+ works).  just don't go back in versions.  you can go 2008-2012, 2008-2014, 20120-2014, just not 2012-2008, etc.
    just be sure not to detach/attach the databases in sql, do a sql database backup, then a sql database restore on the new server and point sharepoint (hopefully using aliases, as it makes this all much smoother) to point to the new server.
    Also, be sure to put SP1 and the April 2014 CU or newer on the farm BEFORE moving the databases.  2014 is "supported before the April CU, but there are several compatibility issues prior to april CU.  one example is that user profile sync doesn't
    work properly with sql 2014 if sharepoint is not at least april 2014 CU.
    hope that all is clear and helps you out, let me know if there are more questions.

  • Services of 2nd instance disappearded from SQL Server 2012 Configuration Manager but still running

    We recently configured multiple SQL Server 2012 R1 (two-node) clusters. Some with two instances. However, we discovered later that the Configuration Manager only lists the services of the 1st instance (the default MSSQLSERVER instance). The other named instance
    is still running and can be failed over from one node to the other using Cluster Failover Manager but the services are not showing up in Configuration Manager in any of the two nodes.
    Any thoughts as to why we see this odd behavior and how to fix it? We have done two instances before in SQL Server 2008 R2 but never saw this behavior.
    Thanks,
    Omer

    Please see my answer above about the SQLCM version. We use the highest.
    As I said before that this happens only when we have two instances running in a SQL2012 cluster. We configured 7 SQL 2012 clusters. three of them have two instances but only the services of one instance are displayed in CM. Services of the default instance
    are listed in two of these clusters while services of the named instance are listed in the 3rd one.
    One thing to note about these configurations is that the installer could not bring the services at the end of installation online because it did not have permission to create the computer objects in AD during setup thus we had to follow a known workaround
    that involves having the domain admin fix these permissions and then we were able to add the SQL Agent Service to the cluster and bring the services online after modifying the ConfigurationState key value of each instance in the registry.
    The installer account is setup as a local admin and we asked the domain admin to give it "Read All properties" and "create computer objects" in AD but for some reason it does not seem to have the ability to create these computer objects during installation
    and the objects are to be pre-created and their permissions reset afterward.
    I am giving this information and I am not sure if it has anything to do with the fact that SQLCM is listing the services of one instance and not the other.

  • Push Data From Sql server 2012 (Express) to Sql Server 2012 (Standard) (i.e. Client to Server)

    Hi all,
    I’m new to this new idea /task/work.
    My Idea: To push data to server (Sql Server 2012 Standard or Enterprise Edition).
    What I’m having? :
    1.A server pc (Windows  Server 2012 + Sql Server 2012 Standard or Enterprise Edition installed).
    2.Two or three Client pc in number (lets us say Windows Server 2012 + Sql Server 2012 with Express Edition installed).
    3.These 3  machines (1 server + 2 client pc) are in communication with one and another(LAN).
    4.Assume that, I'm having one database let us say “Company_DB” with single table “Tbl_Employee”(as of now) in server and similarly in both reaming client PC too.
    i.e.
    Server is having Company_DB (Database), is having table Tbl_Employee
    Client A is having Company_DB (Database) , is having table
    Tbl_Employee
    Client B is having  Company_DB (Database) , is having table
    Tbl_Employee
    What I did ?:
    Step 1: Suppose that, today I entered/created  10 employee details in Client A (say 1 to 10).
    Step 2: On the next day, I created some more employees (say 5 employees i.e 1 to 5)
     in Client B.
    What I need?
    I need to push/send/store these records (i.e. total 15 employees details) should be present in my SERVER PC.
    I googled for the same, found some suggestions like SSIS or
    Import/Export wizard etc…
    How can I achieve this?, and this should happen for some regular intervals like 3/5 hours without any duplicate data.

    sounds like Merge replication to me

  • Can I uninstall a hotfix from SQL Server 2012?

    I need to apply CU 7 to some SQL Server 2012 instances.  If something goes wrong with this, can I uninstall CU7?

    I need to apply CU 7 to some SQL Server 2012 instances.  If something goes wrong with this, can I uninstall CU7?
    If you are looking for this as rollback plan then answer is Yes. But my advice would be to perform testing of any patch in QA/Dev before rolling out to production.
