SQL Server 2008 R2 Service Packs

Hi,
What's the benefit of upgrading my SQL Server 2008R2 with the service packs that are available for it?
Cheers
Paul

From Wiki........
In computing,
a service pack or SP (in short SP)
or a feature pack (FP)
comprises a collection of updates, fixes, or enhancements to a software
program delivered in the form of a single installable package. Companies often release a service pack when the number of individual patches to
a given program reaches a certain (arbitrary) limit, or the software release has shown to be stabilized with a limited number of remaining issues based on users' feedback and bug tracking such as bugzilla.
In large software applications such as office suites, operating systems, database software, or network management, it is not uncommon to have a service pack issued within the first year or two of a product's release. Installing a service pack is easier and
less error-prone than installing many individual patches, even more so when updating multiple computers over a network, where service packs are common.

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.
Regards,
Michelle Li

Get error code 0x80070643 when I try to install Sql Server 2008 R2 Service Pack 1 (KB2528583)

I keep getting error code 0x80070643 when I try to install Sql Server 2008 R2 Service Pack 1 (KB2528583)
Operating System is Windows 2008 R2 64 bit

Hi JamesRead,
According to your description, when you install SQL Server 2008 R2 service pack 1, we need to verify if
you must have administrative rights on the computer.
There are multiple files available for the download, you will be prompted to select the files you need. We need to verify if you run the SQLServer2008R2SP1-KB2528583-x64-ENU.exe. Or you can install SQL server updates from the command
prompt and check if it can install successfully.
You can prepare an installation of database engine instance to include product update:
setup.exe /q /IAcceptSQLServerLicenseTerms /ACTION=PrepareImage /UpdateEnabled=True /UpdateEnabled=True /UpdateSource=<path where the update is downloaded> /INSTANCEID=<Instance ID> /FEATURES=SQLEngine
For more information, you can review the following article about installing Updates from the Command Prompt.

Security Update for SQL Server 2008 R2 Service Pack 2 (KB2977320)

So i have been trying to install this update on one of our servers since it is showing up on our MBSA scans but it has been failing on one of our machines with the error code: 0x80070643
I downloaded the update and tired to install it manually. The installer returned: There are no SQL Server instances or shared features that can be updated on this computer. If that was true then why is SCCM still pushing the update to the machine and why
is the MBSA showing that it needs the update? Any advice would be helpful. Thanks!

Hi David,
Based on my understanding, the error code: 0x80070643 was thrown out when you install KB2977320 with MBSA. And installation also failed when you download and install update manually.
Regarding the error code: 0x80070643, it can be caused if the MSI software update registration has become corrupted, or if the .NET Framework installation on the computer has become corrupted. To fix this issue, we can follow these methods:
Fix MSI software update registration corruption issues
Repair the .Net Framework
Uninstall and reinstall the .Net Framework
For more information, please refer to this link:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/976982.
Besides, the security update is released for SQL Server 2008 R2 Service Pack 2, please check the version of SQL Server you are using. About how to check the SQL Server version, please refer to this article: How to tell what SQL Server version you are running
(http://www.mssqltips.com/sqlservertip/1140/how-to-tell-what-sql-server-version-you-are-running/). Then please download the Security Update for SQL
Server 2008 R2 Service Pack 2 from this link (http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=43957), and retry install it manually.
Best regards,

HI ,
SP3 for SQL server 2008 r2 is not there I guess you are talking about SQL server 2008.When you install Service pack and reach to 'Select Features ' page please select all the features. You can see SSIS ,SSRS and SSAS listed there as well with database engine
and client tools.
After selecting all features SP will be installed for all and all features will be patched

Running OBIEE 11.1.1.7 with SQL Server 2008 R2 Service Pack2

I have check with Oracle on this and Service Pack 2 is not officially supported, but I would like to see if there is anyone out there running OBIEE 11.1.1.7 with SQL server 2008 R2 Service Pack 2? We are currently running 2008 R2 but without the service pack. Our Oracle team would like upgrade to SP2. If you have run sp2, are you encountering any issues, i.e. performance.

Xcelsius and SQL Server 2008 Reporting Services

I am totally and utterly p1$$3d off and surely I cannot be the only person to be using a similar setup i.e. Xcelsius along with SQL Server 2008 Reporting Services.
I have installed and tried to get working the XRS gateway and get connectivity to Reporting Services so that SSRS reports can be utilized with Xcelsius... BUT NO...
when trying to configure and use the GetReports command from the xrs.asmx web file I get an error, namely:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<ROOT>
<Message>Client found response content type of '', but expected 'text/xml'. The request failed with an empty response.</Message>
<StackTrace>at System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapHttpClientProtocol.ReadResponse(SoapClientMessage message, WebResponse response, Stream responseStream, Boolean asyncCall) at System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapHttpClientProtocol.Invoke(String methodName, Object[] parameters) at Microsoft.ReportingServices.ReportingService.ListChildren(String Item, Boolean Recursive) at Microsoft.ReportingServices.CatalogManager.CreateXmlNode(XmlDocument Doc, CatalogItem Item, XmlNode ParentNode) at Microsoft.ReportingServices.CatalogManager.SerializeToXML() at Infommersion.XRS.Service.GetReports()</StackTrace>
</ROOT>
Only to be told when I logged a support call, that "SQL Server 2008 Reporting Services is NOT SUPPORTED"
please go back to using 2005!!!
I find this totally and utterly unbelievable, it's not even as if its a new product... and surely i am not the only person using Xcelsius and wanting to utilise 2008Reporting Services Reports...
has anyone come across this error or understand what is not occuring to get this message and how to resolve?
yours eternally grateful if anyone can shed light on the matter
dean

Indeed, got the XRS gateway working but it isn't able to connect to RS2008.
I guess the cause is that for RS2005 the web service connection point is the file ReportService.asmx. In RS 2008 this file is renamed to ReportService2005.asmx and therefor the XRS gateway cannot connect to it.
A fix pack seems to be in the making:

"SQL Server 2008 Reporting Services does not support map report items"

Hi,
I am trying some new feature that are introduced in SQL Server 2008 R2 version. While I try to use "Map" control within it, it threw the following error:-
"Error 1 The map, Map1, was removed from the report. SQL Server 2008 Reporting Services does not support map report items. "
-Also, similar kind of error I am getting for "Indicator" control.

Hi Tej,
I think you get this error message when you are deploying a report to report server using BIDS, correct? If not, please provide more details on your scenario :-)
If I guessed correctly, then this message is a result of trying to deploy a map report (a SSRS 2008 R2 feature) to a non-R2 2008 report server. When deploying a report of RDL2010 format to a non-R2 report server, BIDS will downgrade the file to RDL2008 format, so that the non-R2 report server can process it. Any report elements using features not supported in RDL2008 will be dropped during this downgrade process.
BIDS gets the server version from a report project property called TargetServerVersion:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee635898(SQL.105).aspx
If your report server is indeed the 2008 R2 version, then the TargetServerVersion property should be set to "SQL Server 2008 R2 Reporting Services." The project property page also has a "Auto Detect..." option if you are uncertain about the version of your report server.
Hope this helps!

SQL Server 2008 Analysis Services and OBI EE

Hello,
How to use the Multidimensional import functionality of the BI EE Administration against a cube stored in a SQL Server 2008 Analysis Services?
Thanks,
Paul

Thanks Christian,
The article you mention takes for granted that a valid Analysis Services XMLA URL is present, which is not my case.
I have found a good article on how to configure specifically Analysis Services 2008 here:
http://bloggingabout.net/blogs/mglaser/archive/2008/08/15/configuring-http-access-to-sql-server-2008-analysis-services-on-microsoft-windows-server-2008.aspx
The article is the nearest I could find from my particular software platform (Vista).
What I'm currently dealing with is [nQSError: 64203] "XMLAnalysisError.0xc1010000", which is probably some security setting I have to get right. I will keep the thread updated if I move on.
Thanks,
Paul

Windows Server 2008 R2 Service Pack 2

Does anyone know when we can expect Service Pack 2 to be released? The latest info I can find here is from 2012 and still no Service Pack 2 for this version of Windows Server.

Server 2008 R2 Service Pack 1 Known Issues

About to deploy sp1 and try this hotfix for the dns server that stops responding. Are there any known major issues to look for with service pack 1 on server 2008 sp1? I have exchange 2010 running on it also and its the domain controller... "i know
not the best thing tod o but its all we had at the time."

You should install SP1 and also missing Windows Updates that were released after SP1. This is mandatory to keep your systems secure and avoid unnecessary problems.
Environments I manage are up-to-date and I am not aware about issues that could cause instability of the systems you are running. Of course, it is always recommended to test updates in a test environment before pushing them to production.
