Query to Find what SQL Server services running, what status and with what service account

I need to check what SQL Server services are running(engine,agent,IS,AS,RS,browser and Full text) and what is the present status and what service accounts are been used by them on several servers in a single shot.
Could any one help me in finding a good script for the same.

I have been looking for the same thing, the issue I am running into is finding the Actual Service Name. I know this question is old, and I personally do not understand the reply.
so Far I have the following:
DECLARE @ServiceAcount NVARCHAR(128);
SET @Service = 'No Return Value'
--MsDtsServer100 (SSIS)
EXEC master.dbo.xp_regread
'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE',
'SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\MsDtsServer100',
'ObjectName',
@ServiceAccount OUTPUT;
SELECT @ServiceAccount;
I am still looking for the correct service naming for Analysis Services, Distributed Replaay Client, Distributed Replay Controller

How to find the SQL Server Instances running across the given activer directory domain?
I have though of OSQL -L , Microsoft Assessment and Planning ( MAP ) tool and SQLPing3 (SQLSecurity) might help me.
I would appreciate if there any other way of finding the SQL Servers / Instances running across the given active directory domain.

How to install the 2008 R2 Express ADV?? =)
I can't open the database version 661, because SQL Server 2005 - 612

Hi,
You just installed SQl server management studio I guess and when you connected the system already had SQL Server 2005 and it connected to it.
If you are sure you installed express with advanced services (2008 r2) you need to go to Start..all program..can you see SQL server 2008 r2 listed ?
Now open SSMS for 2008 r2 and instead of connecting with default instance look for other instances in drop down in server name you would fine that for SQL Server 2008 r2 connect to that

Service cannot be started. Microsoft.VirtualManager.DB.CarmineSqlException: Unable to connect to the VMM database. Ensure that the SQL Server is running and configured correctly

Hi All,
I am setting up SCVMM 2012 R2 in a production environment. Whenever I restart the SCVMM virtual machine the VMM service doesn't start automatically, I have to manually start it. I checked the VMM logs and in the event viewer i find the below error,

Thanks,

It's often only a problem of the service dependencies. SCVMM starts to fast, SQL server on the same machine in not initialized yet. Here are working service dependencies to ensure SQL server is initializes before SCVMM starts.
You can set the service dependencies directly in regedit (as always: be careful modifying the registry ...)
Here is the content of a reg file setting the dependency.
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\SCVMMService]

What SQL Server Agent jobs are currently running and for how long

Is there a way to tell what SQL Server Agent jobs are currently running and for how long? View history isn't working in my case because it's only showing completed jobs. John Schroeder

You can use the "Job Activity Monitor" for doing this. Do the following steps. It will open up the Job Activity Monitor.
1.    In Object Explorer, connect to an instance of the SQL Server Database Engine, and then expand that instance.
2.    Expand SQL Server Agent.
3.    Right-click Job Activity Monitor and click View Job Activity.
4.    In the Job Activity Monitor, you can view details about each job that is defined for this server.
In Job Activity Monitor page, we have column called Status. It will indicate whether job is executing or idle. Last Run column will give you the last invocation time of this job.
Use the following link for further reference.

How to find out sql server administrator account in sql server 2008 R2

how to find out sql server administrator account in sql server 2008 R2
adil

there is any way to find out actual administrator
because i forget that user i used to logon to server and installed sqlserver
adil
Hi adilahmed,
According to your description, you forgot the account which was used to install SQL Server. SQL Server service account information is stored in Windows Registry database. You can get this information from Services Console or SQL Server Configuration.
For example, to get account information from Services Console.
1. Go to Start > Run > Services.msc
2. Right Click on SQL Server Service, i.e. “SQL Server (InstanceName)” and go to properties
3. The account information is available under Log On tab.
Or you can get the information by using DMV and so on.
SELECT servicename, service_account FROM sys.dm_server_servicesGO
If you now log in SQL Server by using sysadmin account, you can check all login names in security and find the original account to login.
Thanks,

How to find out which server is running on which port

hi all,
how to find out which server is running on which port, i want to know both
from front end and backend?
thanks and regards
srikanth

The best source to get all the ports you have is the Context Files.
All ports are defined in the Context Files through "AutoConfig Variable". You can get the list of those variables by referring to the following note under "What is the port pool? What if I want to give a specific value to a Server Port?"
Note: 216664.1 - FAQ: Cloning Oracle Applications Release 11i
https://metalink.oracle.com/metalink/plsql/ml2_documents.showDocument?p_database_id=NOT&p_id=216664.1
You can also get that list via OAM.
Referring to the installation log file should also be helpful (Unless you have changed any of the ports after the installation).

I can't see sql server express 2012 from ssms 2008 R2 -- what do I need to download?

I'm running sql server 2008 R2 Developer on a win7 (pro) workstation. I would like to keep this installation because it has SSRS and Analysis Server. But I was not able to attach a sql 2012 DB so I downloaded Sql Server Express 2012 (per the
picture below - 1st option selected) and installed it. Sql Server Express 2012 appears to be running -- per my services list, but I cannot see the instance in ssms 2008 R2. Do I need to uninstall Sql Server Express 2012 and then download another
option (from the picture below)? How should I proceed so that I can have a working/workable instance of Sql Server Express 2012 that I can see in ssms (whatever required version) and also keep sql server 2008 R2? which download should I select (from
the picture below?
Rich P

Should I uninstall Sql server 2012 first?
Rich P
No you do not need to uninstall any thing
>> Sql Server Express 2012 appears to be running -- per my services list, but I cannot see the instance in ssms 2008 R2.
You need to just download SQL Server 2012 express management studio and use that to connect to SQL Server 2012. And use SSMS 2008 r2 to connect to SQL Server 2008 r2.
This File :ENU\x64\SQLManagementStudio_x64_ENU.exe
Although I guess SSMS 2012 express with SP2 would work just fine and you would connect to 2008 R2 database using that.

Hello,
If you see error descriptioon it gives access denied so basically it is because of some access issue.I guess You must be using some domin account for installation make sure it is added as local administrator also instead of using NT Authority network
service as SQL server service account use local system account .
Below link would help
http://serverfault.com/questions/212135/access-is-denied-error-installing-sql-server-2008-on-windows-7
You can also browse to setup.exe file and RK on it and select run as administrator

Getting SQL Server Agent running

I am trying to get my SQL Server Agent running, and no conventional means thus far have worked.
I set it to run automatically in the Services window of the Control Panel. Attempting to run it from there yields the error "The SQL Server Agent (BENTLEYECAD) service on Local Computer started then stopped. Some services stop automatically if they
are not in use by services or programs"
Attempting to start the Server agent in the Server configuration manager yields the error "The request failed or the service did not respond in a timely fashion. Consult the event log or other applicable error logs for details"
The resulting error log in SQLAGENT.OUT is
2015-02-19 15:58:44 - ? [100] Microsoft SQLServerAgent version 10.50.1600.1 (x86 unicode retail build) : Process ID 6064

I have installed this version of SQL alongside Promise V8i (M). Any advice on how to get this server agent running is welcome

I see.
I'm not sure if it's Express or not, how can I tell? The start-up for the server management studio just says "Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2"
If this is the case, will any other version of SQL besides Express work? or is it only specific ones?
Thanks,

Best Version of SQL Server to Run on Windows 7 Professional for Large Data Sets

My company will soon be upgrading my work PC from XP to Windows 7 Professional. I am currently running SQL Server 2000 on my PC and use it to load and analyze data large volumes of data. I often need to work with 3GB to 5GB of data, and
have had databases reach 15GB in size. What would be the best version of SQL Server to install on my PC after the upgrade? SQL Server Express just won't cut it. I need more than 2GB of data and the current version of DTS functionality to
load and transform data.
Thanks.

Hi,
Its difficult to say what would be best for you. You can install SQL Server 2012 standard edition because that is supported on Windows 7 SP1, enterprise edition is not supported. SQL Server 2012 express has now database limitation of 10G which does not includes
File stream size and log file size but does not provide SSIS features.
Just have a look at features supported by various editions of SQL Server it will help you in deciding better
I inclination is towards SQL Server 2012 because its now with SP2 and more stable than 2014( my personal opinion)

Getting SQL Server Express Running

I'm trying to get SQL Server Express running on my home computer that runs Window 7 Professional.
So far, I have downloaded and installed SQL Server Express. The Windows Start list shows Microsoft SQL Server 2008 and Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2.
I've seen several references to SQL Server Management Studio Express and am ready to download and install that. The download site says "You must install .NET Framework 2.0 and MSXML 6.0 Parser before you install SSMSE."
I already have Visual Studio 2010 Professional installed. Does that satisfy the .NET Framework 2.0 requirement? If not, do I need to download .NET Framework 2.0?
Regarding the MSXML Parser, I clicked on MSXML 6.0 Parser and was taken to a site headed "Feature Pack for Microsoft SQL Server 2005 - February 2007." Text there said "... a collection of standalone install packages that provide additional value
for SQL Server 2005." My question, then, is should I download and install MSXML 6.0 Parser?
I'll appreciate any guidance.

Hi, it sounds like you installed SQL Server 2008 R2 Express engine only. To get the client tools, SQL Server Management Studio, install SQLEXPRADV_X64_ENU.exe (or X86 if on a 32-bit box) from:
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=30438
This SQLEXPRADV package includes both the engine and client tools. Since you're already installed engine, just select the client tools feature in the feature selection dialog and you should be good to go. Once you install SSMS, launch it and
connect to your instance by using <machine name>\SQLEXPRESS where SQLEXPRESS is the default value used during setup for the instance name.

i want to query oracle database from sql server can anyone tell steps 2 followed
i tried with linked servers but it is throwing errors can anyone hepl in this regard
The operation could not be performed because the OLE DB provider 'MSDAORA' was unable to begin a distributed transaction.
OLE DB error trace [OLE/DB Provider 'MSDAORA' ITransactionJoin::JoinTransaction returned 0x8004d01b].

First of all - you are in the wrong forum.
Look either for the Database general or search for Transparant / Heterogenous Gateways.
