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.
Please download QL Server 2008 Express with SP1 included from the following link:

Hope this helps.

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.

MS14-044 for SQL Server 2008 Standard on Windows Server 2003?

MS14-044 was recently released and states that it applied to MS SQL Server 2008 SP3, yet the patches available for this security bulletin do not list Windows Server 2003 in the supported operating systems. Does MS14-044 not apply to SQL Server running
on Windows Server 2003? If it does apply, why isn't there an update available to run on Windows Server 2003?

Hi Chasg76,
According to your description, the patches available for MS14-044 do not list Windows Server 2003 in the supported operating systems and you want to know whether MS14-044 applies to SQL Server running on Windows Server
2003.
Based on my test, KB2977321 applies to SQL Server 2008 Service Pack 3 product and it does apply to SQL Server 2008 SP3 running on Windows Server 2003.
I installed SQL Server 2008 Service Pack 3 in Windows Server 2003 SP2 x86. After the service pack 3 installation completed, KB2977321 was offered in the Automatic Update.
Besides, you can manually install the update by downloading the update form the Download Center web site as well.
I also tried the manually installation and I downloaded the Security Update for SQL Server 2008 Service Pack 3 (KB2977321) from this web: Security Update for SQL Server 2008 Service Pack 3 (KB2977321) (https://technet.microsoft.com/library/security/MS14-044),
it was installed successfully.
After installed security upgrade, I checked the file attributes and compared to this article: MS14-044: Description of the security update for SQL Server 2008 SP3 (GDR): August 12, 2014(http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2977321/en-us).
The result is the same.
According to my test, MS14-044 applies to SQL Server running on Windows Server 2003 even though Windows Server 2003 is not listed in the supported operating systems.

Qiuyun Yu

Installing SQL Server 2008 Express on windows 2000 server ?

Is is possible to install SQL Express 2008 on a Windows 2000 machine. Has anybody come across any issues doing this. any advice would appreciated.
Thanks in advance
Jayce.

Hi Jayce,
The web page "Hardware and Software Requirements for Installing SQL Server 2008 R2" does not list Windows 2000 as a compatability option as follows; -
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms143506.aspx#Express32
The earliest desktop operating system listed is Windows XP.
So I understand you can't successfully install SQL Express 2008 on a Windows 2000 machine.
Kind Regards,
Kieran.

Overlapped I/O error 997 installing SQL Server 2014 Express on Windows Server 2012 R2

I'm attempting to install SQL Server 2014 Express on a Windows Server 2012 R2 system. When I do the install, it fails (several times) with an "Error: 997. Overlapped I/O operation is in progress.". From searching the web, I can see many people
have had this problem with this installer and other non-SQL server installers.
I've tried every solution I can find discussed, but none help with my problems The system is fully updated, with the exception of the KB2538243 (VC 2008 SP1 redist), which is probably failing for the same reason.
I've tried removing several updates mentioned in other articles (KB2918614). I've confirmed that I'm not using a temporary profile.
Does anyone have an idea of how I can solve this issue?
Thanks,
Zack

Alberto,

I tried to post the Windows Update log, but it was too large. I've posted some of it below.

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

CR 2008 on Server 2008 R2 vs Windows Server 2003

I have posted a similar question before but have not beeen able to come up with a solution.
We recently purchased cr2008 designer sp5 and installed it on server 2008 r2 and server 2003. We have web pages where CR is embedded in the code showing the report. This works fine on server 2003, also works fine on development desktop BUT does not work on server 2008 r2.
The application works but when time to show the CR itsself there is just a blank page with no error messages. I have replcated the code both using vs2005 and vs2008 and none of them are working when it comes to show report.
IIS is configured to run 32bit mode and classic (on server 2008 r2). Applications are comiled with x86 target.
We also have windows applications (without user interfaces) that loops through data base and saves crystal report as .pdf documents to folders to folders and they do work either.
I have been working on this for the last couple fof weeks and I am clueless.
Any ideas where to start looking and what to try? Any any help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

That could be the discovery we're looking for...
The message re. Database Vendor Code 1540 is coming from the database client without any modifications in the CR engine. E.g.; sometimes searching for the error in the database documentation helps. Google is often pretty good also. E.g.;
Crystal: Failed to open Connection : The Official Forums for Microsoft ASP.NET
http://download.tigerpawsoftware.com/download/v10/Errors%20That%20Can%20Occur%20When%20You%20Run%20a%20Report%20from%20T…
From SAP documentation:
Failed to retrieve data from the database. Details: [Database Vendor Code: <vendor code number>].
Cause
The report SQL queries that have been sent to the server cannot be executed, because an error was returned by the database server after it processed the queries. For example, a field/table/procedure required by the report is missing, or the queries contain syntax errors.
Action
Ensure the report is using the correct connection information. For example, the data source name, server name, database name, and user name are correct. In a database-client test tool, ensure that the fields, tables, and procedures used by the report exist and that SQL queries can be executed against them. In the Crystal Reports designer, verify that the SQL query, as shown under the Database menu Show SQL Query option, does not contain syntax errors. If the SQL query shown in Crystal Reports is valid, execute the same SQL query through a database-client test tool.

Strange errors regarding RPC and WMI after migrating Hyper-V from Windows Server 2008 R2 to Windows Server 2012 cluster...

Hi all;
Suppose I have created a two-node Hyper-V cluster with a fibre channel shared storage in Windows Server 2012. Everything work fine except some issues. One of the is that when I want to configure the cluster to add a VM as its cluster resource, the following
error message appears:
An error occurred while determining the state of this clustered role in the cluster. The remote procedure call failed with error 800706BE.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Thanks for your reply…
I have tested many possible solutions without any success. The actions that I have done so far are mentioned in the following and the results of them have been said, too.
When I restart the servers, everything are good but after some times when I reopen Failover Cluster Manager on one of the servers, the snap-in related to my cluster name does not load. Please look at the following figure:
And when I want to connect to my cluster name, the following error message appears:
Note: The above problem appears randomly regarding to servers. In the other hand, after the restart, one of the servers acts as the above statement.

I have read the KB197814 and did the steps in it, restarted both servers, but the problem did not resolved.
I have check both servers for RPC Service status and in both servers it has started.
The both servers are alive and can ping each other by their IP address and name.
The firewall of both servers is off and I stopped the Windows Firewall service COMPLETELY.
Any services and applications that are depending on RPC have problems. For example when I want o remotely manages the services on these servers by using Services.msc console, the following error message appears:
Error 1726: The remote procedure call failed.

SharePoint 2013 OS: Windows Server 2008 R2 vs Windows Server 2012 Standard

Hi Team,
We are thinking on upgrading from SharePoint 2010 to SP 2013 soon. I have been researching about the server OS I should install as host, and it seems that SharePoint 2013 is fully compatible by now with both Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard + SP1 and
Windows Server 2012 Standard. In my opinion we should go with server 2012, but Windows server 2008 is the norm here at our organization and our Infrastructure team seems reluctant to upgrade servers to 2012 yet.
My question is, what SharePoint or Windows 2012 features will we miss if we decide to stay on Windows 2008? What are the perks (selling points) of going with 2012 over 2008? (besides the obvious Microsoft support range extension).
Thanks!
-Rob.

If you stay on Windows Server 2008 R2 you will enter the extended/out of support phase sooner, of course. You will miss out on IIS improvements, although in practical terms it may not mean much.
There are extra patches required for a 2008 R2 deployment that are not needed on 2012 for SharePoint 2013. But other than that, I think the other big issue is that mostly in the community, you'll find people running Server 2012 which means issues are better
'known' by the community, versus 2008 R2 in combination with SharePoint 2013.

Upgrade for Windows Server 2008 R2 to Windows Server 2012 R2

Hi Guys,
I am having an issue with upgrading one of our Servers. When I try to upgrade the Server it starts the process perfectly fine without any issues, it reboots and displays the Windows Server 2012 R2 Logo and then I get a black screen and it hangs. I waited
around 5 hours today before rebooting the Server and letting it rollback the changes that setup had made.
Original Server Setup
OS: Windows Server 2008 R2
Other Applications: MS SQL Server 2012 with SP2
Removed Applications: Symantec Backup Agen
Hardware: Virtual Server ESXi 5.0
I have upgraded other servers without any issues but they haven't had SQL Server installed on them, so I am guessing that this is the issue but SQL Server 2012 sp2 is Supported by Windows Server 2012 R2. Does anyone have any suggestions?
Kind Regards,
Thomas

Hi All,
Yes we are running ESXi 5 U 2 I am looking at how much of a pain this will be to build a new VM for this database server, as it contains our Citrix database which we have had issues with in the past. I might end up just leaving this server for the moment
and move onto another server and hopefully not have any more issues.
Thank you all for your suggestions to resolving this issue.
Kind Regards,

Hi Arvind,
Since I'm not a license expert, for the OEM license issue, I would like to recommend you can connect the vendor.
In addition, I found a similar discussion of upgrading with OEM licnese for your reference:

Thanks for your understanding.

Upgrade windows server 2008 x86 to windows server 2012

Hello i am using windows server 2008 x86 as my primary domain controller,
I want to install windows server 2012 R2 and make it additional Domain Controller and transfer the roles to make it primary Domain Controller.
How do i upgrade the Schema as i am using windows server 2008 x86. and how do i transfer the roles.

Hello,
After successful installation of the Windows 2012R2 OS, go to the server manager and Install the Active Directory Server Role: In server manager go to manage-> add roles and features wizard -> skip welcome -> Select Role-based or Feature based installation
-> Select your local server -> Select Active Directory Domain Services (including management tools) -> go throughout the wizard and press finish. Note, that schema upgrade would take care by itself.
After the Role installation you have to promote the server as an additional DC to an existing domain: On the flag on top of the server manager's console, there should be 1 notification. Press the flag and select the "Promote this server to a domain controller"
link. Choose the option to add a domain controller to an existing domain and go through the wizard.
After successful completion (including restart) open command prompt as admin and type ntdsutil.exe -> ntdsutil prompt opens -> type Roles -> type connections -> type connect to server <your new Win12 server name> -> type quit to go to
FMSO maintenance prompt -> type transfer infrastructure master (confirm transfer) -> type transfer naming master (confirm transfer) -> type transfer PDC (confirm transfer) -> type transfer RID master (confirm transfer) -> type
transfer schema master (confirm transfer).
To verify transfer: type select operation target -> type list roles for connected server
Exit ntdsutil.exe (ctrl+C) and confirm configuration status by checking the event viewer and by running dcdiag.exe in command prompt.
