Moving database from mssql server 2008 R2 to mssql server 2012

Dear Guru!
I am trying to move a database from mssql server 2008 R2 on mssql server 2012. Made a backup in mssql server management studio, tried to
make a restore in mssql 2012 management studio. But get an error
'The operating system returned the error '5 (Access denied) '. How can I solve the problem?

Use ALTER TDATABASE MODIFY if you want to rename files and sp_renamedb if you want to rename the db itself

Unable to upgrade SQL Server 2008 R2 to SQL Server 2012 SP1

I'm encountering error after error, after successfully installing the upgrade advisor (which took some doing) and running it with essentially no warnings/errors (the one warning was on the connection strings, as I recall -- and all of the warnings had a
"fix after" status.
First failure involved SSRS and the inability to create the "managed account". Backed out the upgrade using http://sqldbanotes.blogspot.com/2013/10/how-to-fix-failed-in-place.html
Now the failure involves SSAS and unable to connect to analysis services with name MSSQLServerOLAPService. That is the logical name for the service, although it shows up as just MSSQLServer when looking at it in the services list. I tried
setting the service account to a local account as well as to Local System -- did not make a difference, the upgrade couldn't apparently find it regardless.
Has anybody successfully done an in place upgrade from SQL Server 2008 R2 to SQL Server 2012?

XL Reporter in Sap 8.8 PL 16running On Server 2008 R2 and SQL 2008 R2

Within the above environment (XL Reporter in Sap 8.8 PL 16 running On Server 2008 R2 and SQL 2008 R2)
Xl reporter is loading and appears to work fine until you look at the spreadsheet result
It is completely blank except for the titles
Yet Excel Macros and the attachment paths are defined correctly
As can be seen when we export any report to Excel successfully
I've had another consultant look at my setup carefully just to be sure
He can't figure out why
Anyone with similar results
I would appreciate any comments
Georges Ostiguy

Even something as simple as a list of BP 's and phone number gives a blank report
When my friend who knows xl reporter much more than I do tried, he managed to get the
BP numbers but nothing further
I then brought him to another server with the same configuration , same result
He then tried it on one of his own servers with similar config = same result

How to upgrade Windows Server 2008 Foundation to Windows Server 2008 Standard

I have a Dell server with Windows Server 2008 Foundation installed. I am now on a larger network which has their own servers for authentication and the Windows Server 2008 Foundation will not let join a domain with more than 15 users. I was told that I needed
to upgrade Windows server 2008 foundation to Windows server 2008 Standard and that process can be done "in place" but I can't find how do do it. I called Dell and they said they basically said they didn't know what I was talking about.
How do I do this?

According to the first one you can perform an in-place upgrade.

I installed Crystal Reports server 2008, i'm geting server not started erro

Hi,
I'm getting error with server not started or not available error (FWM 01003). If i check in CCM, i don't see any entry for CMS server entry. How to start CMS server??? Please advise me. i installed trail version of crystal reports server 2008.
thanks in advance!!!
Ben.

I am a consultant for Business Object products and experienced the same exact problem. We were installing Business Objects Edge, which is similar to Crystal Reports Server 2008, with MS SQL Server 2000 SP4 for the CMS System Database on a server that was named <Numbers>-<Letters>.
We discovered that some scripts that the installation and CMS run fail when the Server Name of the Business Objects Edge Server start with a number. When the CMS System Database is setup, a table called CMS_IdNumbers6 is created. It should have three columns, NameId, IdName and third column that is named after the server where you are installing Crystal Reports Server 2008, Business Objects Edge or Business Objects Enterprise. This column is called <ServerName>_iad_intensive_int_6400.
This column fails to get created when your server name starts with a number and subsequent scripts that insert records into this column fail. Renaming the server where we were installing Business Objects Edge to <Letters><Numbers> (no dashes either to be safe) solved the problem. We were successfully able to install Business Objects Edge. Please note: This is the server where you are installing Crystal Reports Server 2008 that needs to be renamed and NOT the MS SQL Server--just making a note because we had to go back and forth with our server team a couple of times on this point.

How to install SQL server 2008 express on Windows server 2008 R2 standard OS

Hi,
I have Windows server 2008 R2 Standard edition (64-bit) and trying to install SQL server 2008 express edition since I do not have SQL server 2008. When I install it I am unable to see Management Studio so I am trying to install management studio as well
but still I am facing issue. Please let me know whether SQL server 2008 express edition is compatible with Windows server 2008 R2 Standard. If not then pls let me know the proper steps to install it.

Hello,
Service Pack 1 for SQL Server 2008 is required to be compatible with Windows Server 2008 R2.

WSUS 3.2 on Server 2008 R2 with SQL 2012 STD

Hi
I have a Windows 2008 Server R2 with SQL server 2012 STD on it, his is a VM(hyper v) and not connected to the internet machine.
I want to install the WSUS Role on it an it fails every time..
When installing the Role it fails with this error:
"he update could not be found. there may be a network connection issue."
I tried installing it using the installation .exe from Microsoft website
and also faild with this message:
"Windows server upate services 3.0 sp2 setup cannot continue. please resolve the following issues, and the run the setup again.Internet Information Services (IIS) or additional IIS role service
must be installed.
please refer to windows server update services 3.0 sp2 release notes for more information about prerequisites"
I must point that IIS IS INSTALLED and running on this server.
Does anyone knows how to solve this problem?
Thank you!!

I want to install the WSUS Role on it an it fails every time..
While not directly related to your situation, it's important to note that SQL2012 is
not a supported platform for WSUS v3.2. Be sure to install with the Windows Internal Database instead.
When installing the Role it fails with this error:
"The update could not be found. there may be a network connection issue."
The key here is in understanding HOW the WSUS role gets installed on a Server 2008 R2 system. The binaries used to install the role are NOT present on the OS image, they must be either downloaded from the Internet or obtained from another WSUS server with
the Dynamic Installer approved.
My guess would be that this system does not have Internet access. If you don't have another operational WSUS server, then this system will need to have Internet access to download the required binaries from MU, or else you'll need to download the standalone
installer and install it manually.
I tried installing it using the installation .exe from Microsoft website and also faild with this message:
"Windows server upate services 3.0 sp2 setup cannot continue. please resolve the following issues, and the run the setup again. Internet Information Services (IIS)
or additional IIS role service must be installed.
I must point that IIS IS INSTALLED and running on this server.
Ahhh.. was it previously installed for some other application. Have you *verified* that it is installed in a configuration that is compatible with WSUS?
HINT: WSUS is, fundamentally, an IIS6/ASP.NET v2 application. My first guess would be that your existing installation of IIS7.5 does not have the IIS6 components enabled.

Install SQL Server 2008 R2 in Windows Server 2012 using SQL4SAP Script

Hi guys,
Since we are performing a SAP System Migration from older releases of Windows/SQL Server, as detailed on SAP Note
1780433 - System copy of SAP systems on Windows 2012 : SQL Server
We need to install SQL Server 2008 R2 before upgrading the system
When running SQL4SAP Script it states the following
17/03/2014 08:13:44 p.m.
Message Box "Windows version error"
OS Family "WindowsNT6.3" is not supported by this script.
Result: vbOK
On Windows 2012 should i run the SETUP instead the script?
Thanks!

Hi Sunny
Im following SAP Note 1780433 - System copy of SAP systems on Windows 2012 : SQL Server
in order to migrate a SAP 640 system from Windows 2003/SQL Server 2005 to Windows 2012/ SQL Server 2012
Reason and Prerequisites
This note describes how to migrate the mentioned SAP products to Windows 2012/SQL Server 2008 R2,
in order to prepare an upgrade to SAP releases based on NW 7.0 and higher.
Note, that only SAP upgrade paths are supported, that are supported by the SUM tool. For more
information about the upgrade paths supported by SUM, read the Central SUM Note referred to at
http://www.service.sap.com/SLToolset.
Immediately after the SAP upgrade, your database has to be upgraded to SQL Server 2012. SAP does in general not support SQL Server releases prior to SQL Server 2012 on Windows 2012.
I understand this is not supported from Productive system, we are performing this on a Development system for test purposes.
Nevertheless on the note says Install First SQL Server 2008 R2 and after SAP upgrade, perform upgrade of SQL Server Upgrade, so there is misleasing information.
Im not sure if a 640 System would be able to copied and upgraded in Windows 2012/SQL Server 2012
It doesnt mention that 640_EX2 Kernel Support SQL Server 2012 to install the system.
How would yo recommend a system copy restoring database on these conditions?
640 System (SQL Server 2005,Win 2003) --> 640 System (SQL Server 2012, Win 2012)
(and then Upgrading to 740)
Thanks

Downgrade SQL Server 2008 Enterprise to SQL Server2008 Standard Edition

I would like to know from fourm users, what are the necessary steps I would take care for above mentioned activity and also please let me know best suitable option for Production.
SNS

You can't do in-place downgrade. You need to go with backup -> uninstall ent -> install std -> bring it to same patch -> restore databases approach.
You need to make sure that there is not enterprise only feature used else you can't restore database on standard.

Balmukund's answer above is the Microsoft supported route for doing a downgrade of an instance of SQL Server. However, before you do this, you need to query the sys.dm_db_persisted_sku_fearures DMV in each of your user databases to make certain that
you don't have any Enterprise features in use that would block your ability to restore a database onto Standard Edition.
No matter what you are going to have to do an uninstall and reinstall of the SQL Server instance to downgrade the SKU. However, you can save yourself some time and the headache of trying to restore the system databases if you are careful about what
you do. I have done a couple of SKU downgrades in the past and the easiest way to do it, and I am not saying this is the Microsoft supported way but that it works if done correctly, is to:
Take a good backup of all of your databases (system and user).
Run SELECT @@VERSION and note the specific build number of SQL Server that you are currently on.
Shut down your existing instance of SQL Server.
Copy the master, model, and msdb database files (both mdf and ldf), don't move them copy them, from the current location to a new folder that you mark as readonly.
Uninstall SQL Server from the system.
Reboot the server.
Install SQL Server Standard Edition.
Apply the necessary Service Pack and/or Cumulative Updates to bring the instance up to your previous build number.
Shutdown SQL Server.
Copy the master, model, and msdb database files (both mdf and ldf) from the folder you saved them in to the correct location for the new install and remove the readonly flag from the files, and change the file ACL's so that the SQL Service account has Full
Control over the files.
Startup SQL Server and if you did it correctly it will startup and be exactly where you were before you made any changes, with all of your user databaes online and you should be ready to let applications connect and resume operations.
If you screw something up in the above, you still have your backups and you can run setup to rebuild the system databases and then go about following the Microsoft supported path for restoring the system databases and then user databases into the system
to bring it online. Essentially the file copy is no different that what would occur through attach/detach you are just doing it with system databases which is not supported, but it does work. The key is to have your backups from before you do anything
so you have the supported route available if you encounter an issue. The only issue I have ever had doing this set of steps is that I didn't set the file ACL's correctly and the database engine threw Access Denied errors and failed to start until I fixed
the ACL's correctly. This can save you many hours of frustration and downtime trying to restore everything since the database files are already there and it is just some small copy operations to put them where you need them to be.
Balmukund, feel free to beat me over the head for suggesting a non-supported path. :-)

SQL Express 2008 R2 and SQL 2005 Server SP1 in single Windows 2003 server

Hi,
I am using a Windows Server 2003 R2 Enterprise Ed SP2 OS with SQL 2005 SP1 intallled on it for our Nav 5 database.
As my backup software requires SQL Express 2008 R2 as default daabase, is it possible to install this in the same server with the SQL 2005 currently running on it? Would there be any impact on the existing SQL 2005 and the application and the Navision database
on it?
Appreciate your help.

There is no issue with installing multiple versions of SQL Server on a machine.I have SS 2005 ,2008 R2 and 2012 all on same machine and they work just fine. You can install all version instances side by side and all will work independently from
each other.
Now issue which might cause problem your SQL Server 2005 is SP1 which is a Blunder IMO. Please ASAP patch it to SP4 because you are running very old version of 2005 which is unsupported by Microsoft and also SP4 includes MANY fixes for SQLServer
2005. Applying SP4 will fix many issues and will bring you under Microsoft support.

How to change the database in Crystal reports

To give an overview there is one project going on where the oracle database is getting migrated from 10g to 11g.
All the details of database like IP, port etc are changing as part of this.
I can see the driver name configured as crdb_ado (Custom driver).
We have an test environment for 11g against which we have to point all the reports and test it.
Could you please let me know the below queries
Where and how to change the IP details in the crystal reports to point to new test and prod databases.
Overview on this crdb_ado driver
Basically the database is getting changed and we want the reports to point and run from the new database.
Thanks

Hi Vissu,
Thanks for your reply.
We need to change the database from the reports which are already running from central management console.
I can see a custom driver crdb_ado is being used and it connects to a database.
Could you please let me know where the database configuration is done.
Ideally we need to add one more database to a config file which i am not able to find.
I guess it should be similar to tnsnames.ora file in oracle where the different databases are stored.
From the above image I would like to know where the server details (NECTAR_Prod) would be configured.
Thanks in advance
