SQL 2012 SP2 There are no SQL Server instances or shared features that can be updated on this computer

Hi,
I have a SQL Server instance:
Microsoft SQL Server 2012 - 11.0.5058.0 (X64)
May 14 2014 18:34:29
Copyright (c) Microsoft Corporation
Standard Edition (64-bit) on Windows NT 6.1 <X64> (Build 7601: Service Pack 1) (Hypervisor)
I am trying to install:
SQLServer2012SP2-KB2958429-x64-ENU
On the "Select Features" screen of the setup I get an error message when I try to click next:
"There are no SQL Server Instances or shared features that can be updated on this computer."
I've checked and re-checked the release notes - pretty sure I have the right versions of everything:

Any help appreciated!

Your SQL Server 2012 is already at SP2 see version number 11.0.5058 this corresponds to SP2. So when you run the setup it says there is nothing to upgrade

SQL 2008 R2 SP2, CU 1 : There are no SQL Server instances or shared features that can be updated on this computer

Hi, I know this has been posted before, but I couldn't find a solution. Currently I have a SQL 2008 R2 SP2 Enterprise 2 node cluster.
I want to keep it updated, and downloaded CU 1 from here:
http://sqlserverbuilds.blogspot.com
Version from query:
Product Version       Service Pack       Edition
10.50.4033.0          SP2                    Enterprise Edition (64-bit)
When running the installation, I get the window attached.
Any clues?

As per the message you can only update your instance with a CU/KB if the build number will be above 10.52.4321.0 (which seems to be your current build) . As per
http://sqlserverbuilds.blogspot.co.uk/ you already have the latest one available for SQL Server. Hence you wont be able to install anything unless Microsoft comes up with a new CU :)
It seems this is what you already have -
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2977319/en-us
Now opening any KB article for any CU will have this portion Eg the KB
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2917531 has the below.

Hi Jupemen,
According to your message, the SQL Server media is a complete installation and it has not encountered any error when downloading. We need to verify if you run the setup.exe as administrator and you have a permission to read and write the folder of MSI package
via Administrator account. In some occasions, the required MSI package doesn't exists and it could indicate a registry problem, a virus or malware issue or even a hardware failure. If you need a copy of the MSI package, it's best to obtain it from its original,
legitimate source. For more information , see:

Is there a feature that can automatically update the price of an item?

I am currently making a 'Checklist Total' on Numbers and I have a few items down and their prices.
Is there a feature where it can update the price typed on the screen corresponding to the price of the item online.
Example: I put a pair of headphones on the spreadsheet and I put a price next to them. Every time this price decreases or increases on a specific website, for example Amazon, the new price appears in place of the old price written down on the spreadsheet.
I'd appreciate any answer or hints to where I might also find the answer.
Patrick

Hi Patrick,
This kind of capability is not built into Numbers.
However, it is not too hard to have an AppleScript automatically fetch a price from the web and update a Numbers spreadsheet.
This doesn't work well for many web pages, but for many it does work.
If you have a specific page in mind post it and I will see if I can provide an example.

SQL 2012 sp2 "The permissions granted to user 'DOMAIN\user' are insufficient ..."

1st let me set the tone by admitting I am not real familiar with SQL, I'm more of an Operations Admin. So this is not a new question I think, although I am having difficulty finding an applicable solution. Using SQL Server 2012 sp2 on a Windows
2012R2 server. This is configured to be a SCOM DB server; while on the SQL server itself I open IE and attempt to go to the following URL http://scomsql/reportserver_SCOM I get the
following error.
Reporting Services Error
The permissions granted to user 'DOMAIN\user' are insufficient for performing this operation. (rsAccessDenied) Get Online Help
SQL Server Reporting Services
I have looked at the Reporting Services Config. Mgr. and it looks like the Report Mgt. URL is set for port 80 and no SSL is configured. The rsreportserver.config file has the SecureConnectionLevel set to "0"
My domain account is listed under Security\Logins and holds the 'Server Roles' of public and sysadmin, 'User Mapping' is DBO for the 'ReportServer$SCOM' and 'ReportServer$SCOMTempDB' and the role membership shows db_owner and public for these as well.
Any assistance with getting this working would be greatly appreciated.
# When I wrote this script only God and I knew what I was doing. # Now, only God Knows!

Hi Wasisname,
The Reporting Services error rsAccessedDenied occurs when a user does not have permission to perform an action. To troubleshooting this issue, please make sure that you have sufficient permission and the report server name is correct.
In fact, reporting Services uses role-based security to grant user access to a report server, and there are two types of roles: Item-level roles and System-level roles. On a new installation, only local administrators have access to a report server. In order
to grant access to visit the URL http://server:port/ReportServer to users, a local administrator must create a role assignment to define the tasks a user can perform. To solve this problem, please refer to the
following steps:
Start Report Manager by going to URL
http://scomsql/reportserver_SCOM.
Click Site Settings at the top right of the page.
Click Security in the left pane.
If a role assignment already exists for the user, click Edit.
Otherwise, click New Role Assignment. In user, enter the user account.
Select appropriate access, and then click Apply.
The issue may be caused by the UAC or Internet Explorer security setting, please try to follow this steps:
1. Open the Internet options of the IE and add the report server URL into trusted site in the Security tab.
2. Run the IE as administrator.
Besides, if the user need to have access to reports, folders, models and shared data sources, we can assign Item-level roles on the root node (the Home folder) or on specific folders or items.
For more information about Configuring a Native Mode Report Server for Local Administration, please refer to the following document:

Installing SQL 2012 SP2 - The specified module could not be found. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8007007E)

Hi,
I am trying to install the SQL 2012 SP2 in one of the servers. I am getting the error as :
TITLE: SQL Server Setup failure.
SQL Server Setup has encountered the following error:
The specified module could not be found. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8007007E)
Error code 0x84B10001.
The same setup is working in other servers, but on a particular server I am getting this error.

How to fix this?
Thanks

Hi Venkatzeus,
Based on my research, the issue is caused by that some .dll files are corrupt or missing during the installing of SQL Server 2012 SP2.
In order to troubleshoot this issue, please view the detail error message in SQL Server Setup Log Files. We can read the Summary text under %programfiles%\Microsoft SQL Server\110\Setup Bootstrap\Log\, and the Detail text in the place %programfiles%\Microsoft

SQL 2012 SP2 - Cannot open Maintenance Plans in SQL Management Studio

Hello...
We have a number of SQL 2012 SP2 instances running on Server 2012 R2 where we cannot open any Maintenance Plans via the SQL Management Studio.
At times we've received an error message screen when attempting to open the Plan, but most of the time just nothing happens when you try to open the Plan.
I cannot get any of them to display the error now to even provide more information there.
This happens even after a reboot and/or restarting SQL server.
Everything else seems to be working and we can examine the individual pieces under the SQL Server Agent -> Jobs, but we cannot open the Maintenance Plan itself.
We can even create new Plans via the "Maintenance Plan Wizard" but not from "New Maintenance Plan" and once a Plan exists, we can't open it.
As a test, I tried connecting from a SQL 2008 R2 server and am able to open the plans, so it appears to be a SQL 2012 Management Studio issue rather than the Plans.
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
Thank you...

Hello,
Once you modify and save a maintenance plan with a greater version of SSMS (let’s say SSMS 2014) you cannot modify it again
with an earlier version of SSMS again ( SSMS 2012 or earlier). That may be a possibility.
If you did not modify the maintenance plan with SSMS 2014, then try to repair SQL Server 2012, apply the latest service
pack (SP2), or try to uninstall only SSMS and reinstall it again.
If you have Visual Studio installed, please apply the latest update.
Hope this helps.

Hi Vivek,
In Reporting Services, values for LogonUser, LogonDomain, and LogonCred are created when the report server connection is configured to use a domain account. As to the error that “The encrypted value for the "LogonCred" configuration setting cannot be decrypted”,
we can know that it relates to the domain account for report server connection.
To fix this issue, we can refer to the following steps:
Log in to SQL Server Database Engine in SQL Server Management Studio.
Under Security folder, give sufficient permissions for your domain account.
Open your Reporting Services Configuration (go to Start -> All Programs -> Microsoft SQL Server 2005 -> Configuration Tools -> Reporting Services Configuration)
Navigate to the Database Setup tab, select ‘Service Credentials’ as the Credentials Type, then type your domain account and password in there. Press Apply.
Restart the Report Server services.

Please!!!Some body help me solve this problem(except format my computer),i really really need your advice.

Hi huydaibang,
The older version SQL Server 2005 could be installed with SQL Server 2008 R2 side-by-side. It could not be the problem.
The reason that we get this error message is the client stack could not receive SSRP response UDP packet from SQL Browser.
Here are the steps:
1) Make sure your server name is correct, e.g., no typo on the name.
2) Make sure your instance name is correct and there is actually such an instance on your target machine.
3) Make sure the server machine is reachable, e.g, DNS can be resolve correctly, you are able to ping the server (not always true).
4) Make sure SQL Browser service is running on the server.
5) If firewall is enabled on the server, you need to put sqlbrowser.exe and/or UDP port 1434 into exception.
For more information, please refer to

Intermitten error - SQL Network Interfaces, error: 26 - Error Locating Server/Instance Specified

Problem: I have a 2 WFE & 1 App server in my SharePoint 2013 Enterprise Edition SharePoint farm. My WFE 2 and App servers connect all the time to the SQL Server using a SQL alias. My WFE1 server work 80% of the
time. It is setup exactly like WFE2 except periodically 1 web app/site collection will stop working and throw the following error:
"A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a
connection to SQL Server. The server was not found or was not accessible. Verify
that the instance name is correct and that SQL Server is configured to allow
remote connections. (provider: SQL Network Interfaces, error: 26 - Error
Locating Server/Instance Specified)"
When I log into WFE1 I can connect to SQL using the alias using a udl file and telnet to verify the SQL alias is connected.
Hypothesis/guess: It appears like WFE1 periodically looses networking but only for 1 specific site collection.
Any ideas are most welcome?

Hi Aries,
I can rule out SQL Server (AOAG) Always-on as the farm doesn't use it.
"max worker threads" is set to 512 with 4CPU's. Rule out.
From the log and looking at the breakdown of the SharePoint request, the request is hitting the WFE2 server which in turn is trying to connect to the content database. The connection string/instance is not available. In summary, I believe the
issue is WFE2 periodically cannot connect to the SQL instance. At the same time WFE1 is working so we know it isn't the SQL server. WFE1 & WFE 2 are on the same VLAN and both appear connected and can see the SQL database using a udl file.
WFE2 has other web applications that are working while the erring web site fails. An IIS reset fixes the issue and restarting the "App pool" for the offending IIS website also fixes the problem. This tells me the issue
is the IIS process. When it tries to connect to SQL /the content database it fails.
I already raised the ticket with MS , the engineer has been looking at it with me, we have tried to identify the issue and also looked at TCP Chimney offload being a possible issue. As my servers is Windows Server 2012, all the servers have the default
"TCP Chimney Offload" setting set to "disabled". WFE1, WFE2, APP1 and SQL have the same setting so this is not the issue. At least this has been ruled out.

http://blogs.msdn.com/b/psssql/archive/2008/10/01/windows-scalable-networking-pack-possible-performance-and-concurrency-impacts-to-sql-server-workloads.aspx
I will keep posting about the problem, hopefully MS support can escalate and the root cause can be determined.
"The bottleneck is on the WFE2 server process trying to communicate with SQL. SQL is up and listening. Only 1 of the website/WebApplication on WFE fail for 15-20 minutes while the other websites are fine."

Did the FE server and BE server on different subnets? If so, please try to relocate the SQL server in the same subnet as FE server and then check again.
Please also double check if the step of “Prepare first Standard Edition Server” ran succeed, if not please run again.
Here is a blog may help you:

How to upgrade SQL 2012 Clustering Enterprise Evaluation to SQL 2012 Clustering Standard Editon

Dear All,
    My environment configured 2 Servers for SQL 2012 Clustering Enterprise Evaluation with Active/Passive. Then I Would like to upgrade from SQL 2012 Clustering Enterprise Evaluation to SQL 2012 Clustering Standard Edition with Active/Passive
on same 2 Servers.
    I would like you help to share me the step how to upgrade from SQL 2012 Clustering Enterprise Evaluation to SQL 2012 Clustering Standard Edition.
    I should upgrade on both Servers or just upgrade only one of them?
    I should upgrade on Active node first or passive node first?
    During upgrade, I should bring offline resource before upgrade?
I saw only step upgrade evaluation edition on standalone Server but can't find information for upgrade on Cluster environment.
Could you please help provide me the step for do this.

Hello,
As per this MS article
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms143393.aspx
Upgrading from Evaluation Enterprise (a free edition) to any of the paid editions is supported for stand-alone installations, but is not supported for clustered installations.
Changing the edition of a SQL Server 2012 failover cluster is limited. The following scenarios are not supported for SQL Server 2012 failover clusters:
SQL Server 2012 Enterprise to SQL Server 2012 Developer, Standard, or Enterprise Evaluation.
SQL Server 2012 Developer to SQL Server 2012 Standard or Enterprise Evaluation.
SQL Server 2012 Standard to SQL Server 2012 Enterprise Evaluation.
SQL Server 2012 Enterprise Evaluation to SQL Server 2012 Standard.
So i think upgrade to Standard edition is not possible on cluster.
What you can do is take full and transaction log backup of All databases.Backup your users and logins and jobs by script method.
Now destroy SQL server 2012 evaluation cluster and create new SQL server standard cluster.
Just FYI( not related to this): You just need to run edition upgrade on a single node, you can choose to run from either an active or passive node. After running, you need to cause a failover to happen. Once the failover happens, all of the nodes along with
the database engine will be updated.

You don't get a choice. If you decide to update, your phone will be updated to the latest iOS version available for your phone. For you, that's iOS 7.0.4.
Make sure you follow the directions here:

The update to iOS 5.0 & higher is an erase/restore deal.

How long did you wait for the download to run? The last time I downloaded the Windows support files for Boot Camp, it was going very slowly, so I swapped away to another task. Several minutes later I came back and it had moved a little, but not much, so I went on with other things. When I got back to it several hours later, the download had completed. Perhaps you just need to let it go overnight to perform the downloads...
