Sql Server 2008 side effect after Windows 8.1 upgrade

Hi
After installing Windows 8.1 upgrade, I can't see a SQL SERVER instance.
I had Windows 8.0 Enterprise and SQL Server 2008 R2 installed and an instance named SVR12/SIMBD
All Windows 8.1 upgrade worked fine, no crashes no creepy messages
But now I can't to connect to the instance, nevertheless SQL Server Management Studio detects the instance  SVR12/SIMBD
Looking at services runnings there are a Service named
SQL Server instead SQL Server (SIMDB)
as before the OS upgrade
Thanks in advance for any help, I'm stuck
Saludos David

What do you mean by "I can't see a SQL SERVER instance"?
Start by using SQL Server Configuration Manager to see what SQL Server instances are installed and if they are running. (If you don't have an icon for Configuration Manager, try C:\Windows\SysWOW64\mmc.exe /32 C:\windows\SysWOW64\SQLServerManager12.msc )
Or start services.msc and check the services that are installed and running.

  • SQL Server Reporting Services won't start - SQL Server 2008 R2 SP1 on Windows 2008 SP2

    All has been fine for some time, this server runs SQL and SSRS.  
    Recently reporting service says it starts, then stops.  No changes of which I am aware.
    This is in the application log:
    Service cannot be started. System.Exception: Default appdomain failed to initialize.
       at Microsoft.ReportingServices.Library.ServiceAppDomainController.Start()
       at Microsoft.ReportingServices.Library.ReportService.OnStart(String[] args)
       at System.ServiceProcess.ServiceBase.ServiceQueuedMainCallback(Object state)
    I've tried changing the account to a domain admin, just to see - but it doesn't help.
    Thoughts?  Help?

    Hi BlakeDuffey,
    Generally, we may see the error messge "Default appdomain failed to initialize" in the application log when try to start Reporting Services if the RSreportserver.config file has been modified unexpectedly. At this time, I suggest that you back up your
    current RSreportserver.config file, and then check the config file referring to the following article:
    RSReportServer Configuration File
    Note: The RSReportServer.config is located in the <drive>:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSRS10_50.MSSQLSERVER\Reporting Services\ReportServer folder.
    If you cannot find the exceptions in the RSreportserver.config file, please post the config file so that we can help you to check it.
    Meanwhile, please also check the Reporting Services Log file to see if there are any error messages related to the issue. If there are, please post the error messges as well. The Reporting Services Log file is located in the <drive>:\Program Files\Microsoft
    SQL Server\MSRS10_50.MSSQLSERVER\Reporting Services\LogFiles folder.
    Hope this helps.

  • Attempted to perform an unauthorized operation error while installing SQL Server 2008 R2 Enterprise edition on Windows Server 2012 R2 standard VM server

    I've been trying fresh installation of SQL Server 2008 R2 enterprise on Windows Server 2012 R2 standard VM server several times for two weeks, but always get the error "Attempted to perform an unauthorized operation". At first, I attempted
    to install all features, but failed several times. So I decided to try install just Database Engine service, and still fail at the SqlBrowserConfigAction_Install_ConfigNonRC_Cpu32, with the error "Attempted to perform an unauthorized operation".
    I remote login to server with my admin domain account. This account is in server local Administrators group. I
    1. Right-click on setup.exe file | properties | Compatibility tab | select compatibility to Windows 8.Then click OK.
    2. Right-click on setup.exe file | Run as Administrator, to start the Installation Center.
    I have the document of my installation steps and zip file of the installation logs, if you need to take a look.
    Appreciate for any help!
    ntth

    Hi ntth,
    "Attempted to perform an unauthorized operation"
    The above error is always related to the Windows account SID mapping. I recommend you login into Windows using another Windows account which has administrative privileges and run SQL Server setup using that Windows account.
    Besides, please note that we need to apply SQL Server 2008 R2 Service Pack 2 or a later update when installing SQL Server Windows Server 2012 R2. For more information, please review this
    KB article.

  • 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

  • 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.
    Best regards,
    Qiuyun Yu

  • SQL Server 2008 R2 Express Edition and Full Text Indexing

    Hello, we have recently upgraded our web front end server from SQL Server 2005 (Standard Edition) to SQL Server 2008 R2 Express Edition (in conjuction with upgrading our main production servers to SQL 2008 R2 Standard). We have 12 Databases on our production
    SQL Server that are replicated to our web frontend server to the SQL Express instance. One of these databases has a FULL TEXT INDEX. The production database is running the Adobe iFilter version 9 64Bit. The FULL TEXT CATALOG has been created and populated
    and performs searches as intended. However, upon replication, when using the search option on our web page based on that PDF iFilter, it no longer works. After examining the properties of the FULL TEXT CATALOG, we note that the Catalog size on the subscriber
    end is 0MB in size (whereas it is 3MB on the Publication side). Also the Unique Key Count on the subscriber side is '1' whereas on the publisher side it is 30,000+. After examining the FT Indexing logs on the subscriber side shows an error: "Warning: No appropriate
    filter was found during full-text index population" On the subscriber side which is running Windows Server 2003 and SQL Server 2008 R2 Express Edition, Adobe Reader 10.1.1 is installed (all 32Bit) with the Adobe iFilter AcroRdIF.dll. When running the SELECT
    * from sys.fulltext_document_types T-Sql statement, the list returned shows the PDF filter to be installed and shows the correct path. Under the System Environment Variables, that path has also been installed (from previous recommendations in researching this
    problem). After numerous reboots, service restarts and re-attempts to get the FT Daemon to crawl - no success. Can anyone please help with this problem? Is there something I am missing? In an attempt to work around this problem thinking there might be a version
    conflict between the 64Bit version on the publisher and the 32Bit version on the subscriber, I disabled the replication of the FULL TEXT CATALOG and tried to create a new catalog on the subscriber with the same results. Thank you for your answers in advance
    - Fustrated! Sorry, somehow this got posted originally under Server Design

    Hello Jeff hope your still out there.  I wrote this question 2 years ago and upgraded to SQL Express with advanced services.  Full Text replication worked until last week.  We are operating in a virtual environment.  My publisher box
    is a Windows Server 2008 R2 (64bit) with SQL Server Standard Edition.  My Web front subscriber is a Windows 2003 R2 (32bit) Server with SQL Server 2008 R2 Express SP1 with Advanced Services. Now the exact same thing is happening after 2+ years. 
    We are looking for possible updates that might have broken this but I am stretching that.  Any clues please?  32bit vs. 64bit?

  • SSPI handshake error in SQL Server 2008 with SharePoint 2010

    Hi,
    I am having some trouble with my SharePoint database server this time. SharePoint Server 2010 is running on Windows Server 2008 R2 and SQL Server 2008 is running on Windows Server 2008 R2 as SharePoint database also. SharePoint users are authenticated through
    Active Directory. I am getting the following error almost everyday in SQL Server-
    SSPI handshake failed with error code 0x8009030c, state 14 while establishing a connection with integrated security; the connection has been closed. Reason: AcceptSecurityContext failed. The Windows error code indicates the cause of failure. 
    [CLIENT: (Server IP Address)].
    Could somebody help me to resolve this error?
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi pointtoshare,
    No, a Service Principal Name (SPN) must be registered with Active Directory to use Kerberos authentication with SQL Server and not need to use NTLM authentication.
    Could you run the following query on your SharePoint Server and check the value of the auth_scheme column?
    SELECT auth_scheme FROM sys.dm_exec_connections WHERE session_id = @@spid ;
    Edit:The
    query above should run on the SharePoint machine with using SQL Management Studio.

    SQL Server 2008 SP3-Express Edition. If you choose to download and install SQL
    Server 2008 R2 Express, whose version number is 10.50.1600.1, you need to apply
    SQL Server 2008 R2 SP2-Express Edition. In addition, as
    Kalman’s post, if you choose to download and install
    SQL Server 2014 express in your Windows 8.1, certainly, you can choose the "SQLEXPRADV_x86_ENU.exe" installation file, and no Service Pack will be needed.
    For more details, please visit the following link:

    Hope these methods are helpful, and if you have any questions, please feel free to revert.
    Thanks
