Issues installing SQL Server 2008 instance - Install fails

Hi there,
I have a server windows server 2008 R2 standard.
While doing an Enterprise to Standard downgrade, I have removed enterprise edition of SQL Server 2008, rebooted and while installing standard edition, I get the below error saying "You
SQL server 2008 installation completed with failures. Some or all identity references could not be translated"
Bit of background. This server has another express instance of SQL Server 2008. I have used local system account, network service as well as our general SQL service account, but I get the error
towards the end of the installation and it fails saying “Some or all identity references could not be translated.”
I am installing a named instance with the same name as before but fails. I have tried creating a test instance that fails too. Any ideas? I have also run the clean up utility but no joy.
Cheers
Faltaf

Hi FAltafB,
According to your description, you come across the error that some or all identity references could not be translated. Please help to post SQL Server setup error log for analysis. By default, SQL Server setup summary and detail logs located in C:\Program
Files\Microsoft SQL Server\100\Setup Bootstrap\Log.
Based on my research, this issue could be due to the incomplete uninstallation for previous installation. Another cause could be that you are installing SQL Server after your machine becomes a domain controller.
To troubleshoot the issue, please pay attention to the points below.
1. Make sure you have administrative rights on the computer, uninstall all the components related with SQL Server 2008 enterprise from the control panel and delete registry keys mentioned in the article:
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/sreekarm/archive/2010/03/15/sql-express-is-not-installed-properly-steps-to-be-taken-before-reinstall-again.aspx
2. Use
SQL Server 2008 R2 Best Practice Analyzer to detect if SQL Server is installed on a domain controller. If SQL Server is installed on a domain controller, please demote your machine from being a domain controller and install the SQL Server again since it
is not recommended to install SQL Server on a domain controller.

What is the best way to deal with memory leak issue in sql server 2008 R2

What is the best way to deal with memory leak issue in sql server 2008 R2.

What is the best way to deal with memory leak issue in sql server 2008 R2.
I have heard of memory leak in OS that too because of some external application or rouge drivers SQL server 2008 R2 if patched to latest SP and CU ( may be if required) does not leaks memory.
Are you in opinion that since SQL is taking lot of memory and then not releasing it is a memory leak.If so this is not a memory leak but default behavior .You need to set proper value for max server memory in sp_configure to limit buffer pool usage.However
sql can take more memory from outside buffer pool if linked server ,CLR,extended stored procs XML are heavily utilized
Any specific issue you are facing

Cannot find SQL Server 2008 instance

I have installed SQL server 2008 Developer edition on my laptop. When I open SSMS I cannot find the installed instance under the Server Name group and When I choose the Browse More option and go to Database engine, the instance name does not show up. Will
appreciate any suggestions.
Thanks

>>I see two instances of SQL Server 2008 when i issue the commands you suggested to me
I don't why you have two instances, may be you installed two different instances.
I think local servers list is obtained by reading the registry key
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server \Instance Names\SQL
Sometimes (don't know why may it is SQL browser service or something else messed up) you don't see a locally installed instance on the drop down list. Just
type in the instance name manually inside the textbox for server name and you should be able to connect

SQL Server 2008 Express Installation fails.

I am trying to install SQL server 2008 Express edition on my desktop (OS: Win 7 HP - 64 bit). I have been unable to do so on all of my 3 attempts.
The installation gets to the end and then gives a error with an installation failed message.
Here is the installation summary - Installation Summary

Any and all help is welcome. Let me know if I can provide any additional information.
I already have MySQL 5.5 installed on the same machine - would that be a problem and conflict with the MS SQL installation.

Hello,
Please try to uninstall all SQL Server components using Control Panel -> Add/Remove Programs.
If you have already uninstalled SQL Server before trying to reinstall, please perform the following steps to manually uninstall SQL Server:
1. Uninstall all SQL Server components you can using Control Panel -> Programs and Features
2. Backup the registry.
3. Delete the following keys in regedit:
--HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server
--HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\MSSQLServer
4. Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall and delete all the sub-keys referencing SQL Server.
5. Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services and delete all the keys referencing SQL Server.
6. Rename all the SQL Server folders in the computer like
C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server and subfolders.
Once you have uninstalled, please try to reinstall again.
Hope this helps.

SQL Sever Management Studio intellisense issue in SQL Server 2008 R2 and in SQL Sever 2012

Hi Team,
Intellisense in sql server management studio is working fine when i am accessing the databases in my local server.

I tried different blogs and i tried to configure all the options i have upgraded to some patches upgraded for sql 2008 r2 client to sql 2012 client.

Intellisense is working in the server but the same is not working when we are trying to access with client from our local machines.
Please provide me help to fix this issue

Did you try to refresh the cache by hitting CTRL+SHIFT+R?
Also, these remote servers, are they SQL Server 2008 R2 as well or different version?

Mirroring issue on sql server 2008 R2

TITLE: Database Properties
One or more of the server network addresses lacks a fully qualified domain name (FQDN). To start mirroring without using a FQDN, click "Yes." To specify the FQDN, click "No." Then, specify every TCP address by using the syntax for a fully
qualified TCP address, and click Start Mirroring again.
This syntax is:
TCP://<computer_name>.<domain_segment>[.<domain_segment>]:<port>
BUTTONS:
&Yes
&No

Hi shravankumarkulkarni,
According to your description, you fail to configure database mirroring. To troubleshoot this issue, please check one of the following methods.
1. If the servers are in a domain environment.
    a. Find the fully qualified computer name (FQDN) of each server by running 'IPCONFIG /ALL' from the command prompt.
    b. Concatenate the “Host Name” and “Primary DNS Suffix”.
       Host Name . . . . . . . . . . . . : A
         Primary Dns Suffix . . . . . . . : corp.mycompany.com
         Then FQDN of your computer name is just A.corp.mycompany.com.
    c. Configure database mirroring again.
2. However, if the servers are not in a domain environment, follow the steps below to setup DNS suffix. Or you can choose to create a FQDN for each server by editing the host file.
    a. Open the server properties window (right click My Computer and then properties)
    b. Click Computer Name tab and then click the 'Change' button
    c. Click 'More' button
    d. Input the 'Primary DNS suffix of this computer'
    f. Click 'OK' & restart the server. For more details, please review this
blog.

Pattern matching issue in SQL Server 2008 R2

Hi, I am working on generalize survey questions. All this data is stored in a VARCHAR() datatype. I have few survey questions like below.
Do you take pills?
If you have so and so trouble. Do you take pills with any of these composition?
I am making it generic using CASE statement
CASE WHEN SurveyQuestion LIKE 'Do you take pills%' OR SurveyQuestion LIKE '%. Do you take pills%' THEN 'Do you take pills?'
END
But the resultset is not mapping '%. Do you take pills%' to Do you take pills?
Thanks in advance...........
Ione

It works for me! Please post DDL & DML like the following code:
DECLARE @T TABLE
( SurveyQuestion varchar(500));
INSERT @T
VALUES
( 'Do you take pills' ),
( '. Do you take pills' ),
( 'Do you take pill' ),
( 'Do you take pills2' );
SELECT
CASE
WHEN SurveyQuestion LIKE 'Do you take pills%'
OR SurveyQuestion LIKE '%. Do you take pills%'
THEN 'Do you take pills?'
END
FROM @T;

Hi Manne,
As your description, you come across an error when trying to install SQL Server 2008 express Service Pack 1 on windows XP Service Pack 3 machine. From your error log, I get the error(unable to read registry value). As my analysis, the issue could be due
to that your account doesn't have access to registry. Below are the recommendations for troubleshooting the issue.
1. Make sure that you log in as an administrator of the machine.
2. Please follow the steps below to make sure that you have granted the right permission to registry.
a. Located HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server in registry.
b. Right click and go to Permission, then you could see user accounts or groups. If your user account is not in the list, you could click Add to add your account there.
c. Select your account and Click on Advance.
d. Check on both check box ('Include inheritable permissions from this object's parent'.
and 'Replace all child object permissions with inheritable permissions from this object'), click OK.
e. Click OK again.

Installing SQL Server 2008 R2 on a Dell Desktop with MS Server 2008

Due to some new software (Multiverse) our business server with MS server 2003 is going to be migrated to MS Server 2008. This migration went well but now comes the problem: I bought MS SQL Sever 2008 R2 also required for the new software and tried to install
this. At first you can test if you have the minimum requirements; that went well, all was green. When I tried to install SQL Server 2008 R2 the first thing I got to see that my OS was the wrong one and the Installation couldn't go on. I'm logged in as administrator
and the fire wall is down. Got no anti virus software running....what is going on? Can you please help me?
Best Regards,
Erwin

LOL :-) YES!
SBS is not the same as windows 2008 r2! You asked on one OS but you use different version :-)

I hope this will give you the answer :-)

Hello,
Based on the following article, you must apply SP3 or SP4 for SQL Server 2008 to make it compatible with on Windows Server
2012 R2.
https://support.microsoft.com/kb/2681562/?wa=wsignin1.0
You can either perform a slipstream using the following Support article.
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/955392
or ignore the warning and continue with SQL Server 2008 setup, and when SQL Server installation is finished apply SP3 or SP4.

Upgrade to SQL Server 2008 R2 fails

I'm trying to upgrade from SQL Server 2008 Express to SQL Server 2008 R2 Enterprise. The installation is failing. I get two log files. The first appears to be a summary. The second is an MSI install log file. The MSI log is too large to paste in here and
I cannot attach files, so I included the section where it appears to fail. Based on the log contents below, how can I fix this?

Msg 8631 Internal error: Server stack limit has been reached on SQL Server 2012 from T-SQL script that runs on SQL Server 2008 R2

I have an Script mostly that is generated by SSMS which works with-out issue on SQL Server 2008, but when I attempt to run it on a new fresh install of SQL Server 2012 I get an Msg 8631. Internal error: Server stack limit has been reached. Please look for
potentially deep nesting in your query, and try to simplify it.
The script itself doesn't seem to be all that deep or nested. The script is large 2600 lines and when I remove the bulk of the 2600 lines, it does run on SQL Server 2012. I'm just really baffled why something that SQL Server generated with very
few additions/changes AND that WORKS without issue in SQL Server 2008 R2 would suddenly be invalid in SQL Server 2012
I need to know why my script which is working great on our current SQL Server 2008 R2 servers suddenly fails and won't run on an new SQL Server 2012 server. This script is used to create 'bulk' Replications on a large number of DBs saving a tremendous
amount of our time doing it the manual way.
Below is an 'condensed' version of the script which fails. I have removed around 2550 lines of specific sp_addarticle statements which are mostly just copy and pasted from what SQL Management Studio 'scripted' for me went I when through the Replication
Wizard and told it to save to script.

Windows Installer - SQL Server 2008 Express Errors

I am working with an application that was developed for an XP machine. One of my peers took the old Windows application and using Visual Studio 2010 upgraded the application to work on a Windows 7 machine. We are creating the installer (.exe
and .msi) files within Microsoft Visual Studio 2010, but we are having different issues on different machines that we try to run the setup.exe file on.
On our company computers with Windows 7, the setup.exe file runs and works properly.
On our customers computer with Windows 7, received the following error: "an error occurred attempting to install SQL Server 2008 Express Service Pack 1."
On non-company/non-customer machines, we tried two Windows 7 machines. One machine had no issues and everything installed perfectly and the other received this error: "Component SQL Server 2008 Express has failed to install."
User pressed Yes to reboot the computer.
After the reboot, the setup.exe file was run and there were no more errors. The application was installed properly.
Within the Installer we have four boxes checked under Properties - Prerequisites:
Microsoft .NET Framework 4 (x86 and x64)
Microsoft .NET Framework 4 Client Profile (x86 and x64)
SQL Server 2008 Express
Windows Installer 3.1
If anyone can help with why the installer is causing issues on some computers and not on others as well as why the issues by computer are different that would be very helpful!
Thank you!

Hi,
Please refer to this article for troubleshooting installation of
SQL Server Express:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/1146.sql-server-express-troubleshoot-installation.aspx
Check Summary.txt in the <SQLInstallFolder>\100\Setup Bootstrap\Log and see if you need to apply the Hotfix in the
KB 957453.
Thanks.
