The Web Management Service service terminated with service-specific error %%-2147483640,

We've been able to successfully, automatically, deploy our MVC and WebApi to IIS7.5 on Win2008 R2, for some time now. Just this week the MSDeploy stopped working. The System event log shows this error when attempting to restart the Web Management
Service on the targeted Win200 R2 server:
The Web Management Service service terminated with service-specific error %%-2147483640.
The Application log shows this error at the same exact time the above error occurs.
IISWMSVC_STARTUP_UNABLE_TO_ACTIVATE_HWC
Failed to activate the Hostable Web Core (HWC). Web Management Service startup failed. Please reference the Win32 error in this event for further information. Exception:System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException (0x8007007F): The

Process:WMSvc User=NT AUTHORITY\LOCAL SERVICE
The above error is preceded by this warning:
A listener channel for protocol 'http' in worker process '7164' serving application pool 'WMSvcAppPool' reported a listener channel failure. The data field contains the error number.
Which is preceded by this error:

We've attempted to reach the target server using https://ourservername:8172/MsDeploy.axd. The response is:

Is this occurring because the port is blocked or because the Web Management Service is not running? (The Windows Firewall with Advanced Security dialog says the "Windows Firewall is off" and there are no entries in the firewall log (C:\Windows\System32\LogFiles\Firewall).
We've seen some posts that indicate the certificate may be the issue. Not sure how to actually tell if this is the case though. The CERT we have says it is valid thru 2029.

Hi Nicola,
seems like your web service runtime is not configured correctly. Please check out the following SAP Notes:

How to resolve error 'The DPMRA service terminated with service-specific error Only one usage of each socket address (protocol/network address/port) is normally permitted'

One of my exchange 2010 servers dpm agent is give the following error when the dpmra service attempts to start.
The DPMRA service terminated with service-specific error Only one usage of each socket address (protocol/network address/port) is normally permitted..
I have tried uninstalling/reinstalling the agent but this does not resolve the issue
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
William Hickson

Hi
Something has probably changed on the protected server side that affects the DPM agent. In some cases the DCOM configuration could change. Look at this blogpost and verify your DPMRA DCOM object.
http://robertanddpm.blogspot.com/2010/08/dpm-ra-rights.html
If this doesn't do the trick try reinstall the agent.

OracleDiscoverer4i service terminated with service-specific error 6.

Hai Friends..
Tried installing 9iAS 1.0.2.1.0 on NT. When I tried to start the Discoverer4i service got this error. When i am running Discover Viewer it is saying that Communication error or ORB internal error.
I wouid appreciate any help.
Cheers

Navigate to the drive:\%oracle_home%\DISCWB33 directory in a DOS prompt. Type in dis33ws. This executable should run. It will give you output similar to this:
D:\orant\DISCWB33>dis33ws
Setting up the Operation Mode and Application Name
Session name: OracleDiscovererSession
Preference name: OracleDiscovererPreferences
Setting the creator of DCSThreadMonitor
Registering SessionManager
Error binding to Preference Repository
Starting the memory manager
Session Manager destructor called (or some other message)or Wakeup if configured properly
This is normal since we are not passing any parameters to the executable as the batch
files or services would. The point here is to see if the executable responds and runs.
If the executable does not run, then the likely cause is corrupt or missing .dlls.
In this case you would need to reinstall Discoverer.
Example of one particular resolution:
Ran dis33ws and received an ODBC error indicating a .dll problem exists.
Reinstalled Service Pack 6a (SP6a) and Microsoft Data Access Component 2.5
(MDAC). Re-ran dis33ws and received proper resonponse above.
Brought up Discoverer via the portal page with no error.

SQL Server VSS Writer Service

Hi All,
SQL Server VSS Writer Service:
"Database Engine locks and has exclusive access to the data files. When the SQL Writer Service is not running, backup programs running in Windows do not have access to the data files, and
backups must be performed using SQL Server backup. Use the SQL Writer Service to permit Windows backup programs to copy SQL Server data files while SQL Server is running"
To the best of my knowledge I believe the whole purpose of VSS writer is to make sure that its not writing any inconsistent pages to the backup image. However using this service can lock and has exclusive access to the data files when any third party
tool or backup programs running in Windows
but my question is whether this is applicable to SQL Server agent I mean do we need to have this SQL Server VSS writer enable even the backups are taken through SQL Agent.
Please share your views on this.
Grateful to your time and support. Regards, Shiva

but my question is whether this is applicable to SQL Server agent I mean do we need to have this SQL Server VSS writer enable even the backups are taken through SQL Agent.
It don't depend (directly) on the used tool/schedule, more on the backup type.
Means, when you perform SQL backup, either started by SQL Server Agent running a backup command or by a 3rd party tool using VDI = "Virtual
Backup Device
Interface", then you don't need VSS; SQL Server database engine takes care that the backup
content is in a consistant state.
But you you run a file backup on the MDF/LDF file, like you do with a VM snapshot, then VSS is required, because then this takes care about the consistant state of the file content during the backup.

Hi guys,
I am working on issue with SQL Server 2008 R2 .. we rebooted the server and after that all SQL services is not coming up. below is the error from eventlog...
SQL Server running under NetworkService account and has full control on this files..
from Config Manager ....
The request failed or the service did not respond in a timely fashion....
From Event log..
initerrlog: Could not open error log file 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL10_50.MSSQLSERVER\MSSQL\Log\ERRORLOG'. Operating system error = 5(Access is denied.).
Any idea or workaround..?
Thanks..

Finally I found solution and was able to bring back online the SQL Services...
I had a very similar issue with the following error (event log):
Description:
The SQL Server (MSSQLSERVER) service terminated with service-specific error 17058 (0x42A2).
For more information, see Help and Support Center at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp.

Computer: NSQLXX
Description:
initerrlog: Could not open error log file 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.1\MSSQL\LOG\ERRORLOG'.
Operating system error = 5(error not found).
In this case the ERRORLOG file had been marked as read only. This was following a scheduled automated boot. -This
was culprit
MSSQL wouldn't not start until this file had been changed.

The Remote Desktop Management service terminated with the following service-specific error %%4294967295

Got this error after a reboot for the monthly MS hotfixes. After messing around too much, I finally found the problem and though that I would document it here since I have not found the solution anywhere I looked.
This is in a Remote Desktop setup of two RDCB using a SQL DB that is hosted on a third server. The Remote Desktop Management service would fail to start with the "The Remote Desktop Management service terminated with the following service-specific
error: %%4294967295" error because the SQL Server service hosting the database was offline. It had not automatically restarted after the same hotfixes. So I started the SQL server, then was able to get Remote Desktop Management to start on my RDCB without
any delay.

Event 7024 The DPMRA service terminated with the following service-specific error:

Hi
I am getting a DPMRA error on an Exchange 2013 Server.
Event 7024, Service Control Manager
The DPMRA service terminated with the following service-specific error:
An attempt was made to access a socket in a way forbidden by its access permissions.
I think I have fixed the issue by uninstalling the DPM Agent and reinstalling it. It now needs a restart (I will do this after hours)
Is there a better way of fixing an issue like this?

SQL Server 2008 R2 Express with SP2: 'SQLEXPRESS'-instance installation fails while any other instance name installation succeeds.

We supply our software package that also includes the unattended installation (with /QS and so on) of SQL Server R2 Express (with SP2).
The setup works good in about 99.9% cases, but one customer complained that after the "successful SQL Sever installation (at least, it looked so!) he could not open the supplied database getting some strange error messages...
After some months of trial-n-error attempts we are now able to reproduce the problems this custumer had. But we cannot find the reason of the problem.
So the test computer is a virtual machine with Windows 7 + sp1 32-bit.
Among the programs/tools installed on this machine there were (in the following order):
SQL Server 2008 Express - the default SQLEXPRESS instance
SSMS
VS 2010 Pro (German)
SQL Server 2008 Express R2 (with SP 1 or SP2 - ?) - the default SQLEXPRESS instance
Then some of them were uninstalled in the following order:
SQL Server 2008 Express
SSMS
SQL Server 2008 Express R2
Now we tried to install (in normal mode with UI) the SQL Server 2008 Express R2 with SP2.
When we chose the default SQLEXPRESS instance - it failed with the following info:
Configuration status: Failed: see details below
Configuration error code: 0x7FCCE689
Configuration error description: External component has thrown an exception.
and the Detail.txt file contained the following:
2015-01-20 10:44:09 Slp: External component has thrown an exception.
2015-01-20 10:44:09 Slp: The configuration failure category of current exception is ConfigurationValidationFailure

2015-01-20 10:44:09 Slp: Parameter 6 : INSTALL@VALIDATION@SQL_ENGINE_CORE_INST
When we chose some other instance name then the installation has completed successfully.
So the questions are:
What could be the reason of the problem (and only for SQLEXPRESS instance that was earlier installed and then uninstalled)? I will provide the complete Detail.txt file if needed.
How could we check (if we could) the conditions so some name would be allowed as an instance name for SQL Server installer to success?
With the best regards,
Victor
Victor Nijegorodov

Thank you Lydia!
Unfortunately the simple check the registry
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server\Instance Names\SQL does /did not work in our case since there is no any instance
name there,
However there seem to be some "rudiments" under
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall and/or HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services.
So I will now try to check the subkeys of these two keys as it was mentioned by Xiao-Min Tan.

Things to consider when removing from AD domain a SQL Server 2008 which includes Reporting Services

Do any one have a link to a list of things to consider when removing from AD domain a SQL Server 2008 which includes Reporting Services, Analysis Services and Integration Services?
I am taking from an Active Directory domain several servers with SQL 2008 and Reporting Services, Analysis Services and Integration Services. The server will stay on its own without association to any domain, the server will keep its IP address and
the server will not change names.
I have done some research and I got the basic steps including, removing the user accounts from the domain, changing the services accounts, changing jobs and databases from being owned by users from the domain. But...
Are there other things in Reporting Services, Analysis Services and Integration Services internal databases that have an association with the domain AND that will fail after no longer being in the domain?
I've heard of Reporting Services subscriptions failing when the domain user account is no longer there...Are there any other got ya's that any one has encountered?
Please advice.
Note: I am posting in this forum basically because of what I heard on Reporting Services, but it may be a better idea to post into a more broad forum such as SQL Server Migration section.
Thanks beforehand

Installation of SQL Server 2005 Express Edition with Mobile Sales 5.0 SP07

Dear gurus,
I have the following question for you: is it possible to run Mobile Sales 5.0 SP07 with SQL Server 2005 Exp Edition? The specifications that I have found for both applications are:
- MOBILE CLIENT:
Installation of Mobile Client with CRM release 5.0 requires the installation of Microsoft .NET framework 1.1. (OSS note 879643)
- SQL Server Express Edition: Microsoft .NET framework 2. 0
Has anyone installed it this way?
Thank you in advance,
Judit.

Hello Judith,
It is possible to have 5.0 SP07 Mobile Client installed on machine with SQL Server Express edition. For more information on this, you may refer the installation guide for 5.0 SP07 (Software Pre-requisites section, SQL Server versions). However, please note, you cannot install 5.0 SP07 Mobile Development Workstation on Express edition due to the large repository size.
You may feel free to get back to me in case of any further concerns/comments.
Thanks and Best Regards,
Niranjan
(Reward points will be appreciated if you feel this issue is resolved).

Can service broker work between SQL Server 2008 and 2012, ssbdiagnose returned an error !

Hello,
We have a setup of three applications that sends and receive messages using Service Broker.
One part is on a server, we'll call 'S' have Microsoft SQL Server 2008 (SP3) - 10.0.5512.0 (X64)
The other part, we'll call 'E' use to have Microsoft SQL Server 2008 (SP3) - 10.0.5512.0 (X64).
But I am migrating these apps to a new server, we'll call 'C' that has: Microsoft SQL Server 2012 (SP1) - 11.0.3339.0 (X64)
I have used this command line tool to test it :
ssbdiagnose -E CONFIGURATION FROM SERVICE "//E/S/CService" -S "ServerC" -d EDatabase TO SERVICE "//S/S/ECService" -S ServerS -d SDatabase ON CONTRACT //E/S/ECContact
It returned:
An internal exception occurred: Cannot read property ServiceBrokerGuid.
This property is not available on SQL Server 7.0.
So, I am wondering, is it supposed to work between these two versions ?
As more info, in the previous setup, it was using certificates but I have changed the Endpoints to use only Windows Authentication.
Thanks for any advice.
Claude

Hello,
Many thanks to you and Fanny for looking at my question.
In fact I was unclear, please let me provide you with more details.
Maybe the use of "always on" plays a role here... I will use different names so it might be clearer...
ServerSoftware2008 server has SoftwareDB database.
ServerEmployees2008 server has EmployeesDB database.
Service broker use to work fine between those two above, with certificates.
The new server comes in, two virtual servers with SQL Server 2012 Enterprise Edition with Always On.
I call it ServerEmployeesC but this is the listener. Behind, there is ServerEmployees2012_A and ServerEmployees2012_B and of course, both have a EmployeesDB database.
So, to use SSBDiagnose, I wonder if I need to use quotes around values and if I can use the listener name with FQDN. Concerning the use of instance name in the syntax, there is only one instance per server, is it best practice to use it on the command
line ?
Here is again, my command :
ssbdiagnose -E CONFIGURATION FROM SERVICE "//E/S/E" -S "ServerEmployeesC.sub.acme.com" -d EmployeesDB TO SERVICE "//S/S/E" -S "ServerSoftware2008.sub.acme.com" -d SoftwareDB ON CONTRACT //E/S/E
Again, many thanks for any help you will be able to provide, the people who configured this application at first are no longer here and I am trying to configure the new server in a task of migrating to SQL Server 2012 for one of the two servers involved
and I am having a lot of problems doing it.
Best regards,
Claude

SQL Server 2000\2005 compatibility with Active Directory 2012

Hi All,
We are currently using Active Directory 2003 and will be upgrading to AD 2012. I'm trying to determine if there is any known compatibility issues when running older versions of SQL Server (2000 and 2005) when upgrading to AD 2012. I've
read forums from when others went from AD 2003 to AD 2008 and didn't experience any issues. We have the newer versions of SQL but I'm not too concerned about these. Any advice would be greatly appreciated? Has anyone been through
this process.
Thanks,

Hi CraftsmanRobert,
Based on my understanding, you used Active Directory 2003, then it would be upgraded to Active Directory 2012. You wanted to run older versions of SQL Server (2000 and 2005) with Active Directory 2012.
Firstly, there can be a compatibility problem when run older version with Active Directory 2012. SQL Server 2005 (the release version and service packs) and earlier versions of SQL Server are not supported on Windows Server 2012 R2, Windows Server 2012,
Windows 8.1, or Windows 8. For more information, please refer to this article: How to use SQL Server in Windows and Windows Server environments (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2681562/en-us).
Besides, Microsoft doesn’t provide assisted support for SQL Server 2000 and SQL Server 2005 already. Please upgrade the existing instance of SQL Server 2000 and SQL Server 2005 to a new version like SQL Server 2012. You can download SQL Server 2012 Express
from this link:
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=29062.
