What is the process for SQL Server 2005 patch update

hi,
i have 2 production SQL Server2005  Database servers in cluster ,
what is the process for applying patches.
Saidireddy

In 2005 you can do it in two ways...
Method 1 :
With SQL Server 2005,
when you start installing cluster service pack (or hotfix), it must be launched on the active node(node
that hosts the instance). When installing the Setup will launch simultaneously  "remote silence" on all passive nodes. All nodes in the cluster containing the SQL Server instance are updated in the same time.
Method 2: First you can install in passive node then you can install in the active node, In this way you can save your down time ( If you start in the active node it will check in the passive, and if its installed already then it skips that
and start applying in the active node ), but most of the DBA's follows only first method because they may not aware of this or just they follows Microsoft common method. 
SQL 2008 and Later....
1.  Apply the hotfix on pasive node N2
2.  Reboot the passive node N2
3.  Failover on SQL resource : the passive node become the active node
4.  Apply the hotfix on the passive node N1
5.  Reboot the passive node N1

    Can you post the output of below query
    select @@version.
    If you are using SQl server express edition ,SQL server agent feature is not available.It seems from errorlog that you can start it but actually you cannot.But first confirm what is version and edition of your SQL server

  • Setup failed for SQL Server 2005 express edition [SQLEXPR.exe]

    Good day All,
    My client has already SQL Server 2005 SP3 installed. We are in process of providing him a new .net application but he wants existing version of SQL untouched. We asked him to install SQL Express version (SQLEXPR.exe) and configured web.config to local (.\SQLExpress).
    However client is getting message - 
    "Setup failed.
    For help, click: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink?LinkID=20476&ProdName=Microsoft+SQL+Server&ProdVer=9.00.4035.00&EvtSrc=setup.rll&EvtID=50000&EvtType=sharedsetup%5csharedsetupactions.cpp%40LoadResourcesAction%40sqls%3a%3aLoadResourcesAction%3a%3aperform%400x0"
    I am in a fix. What could have gone wrong? Clearly it has something to with already existing version. Just for information, client keeps his SQL services (using SQL Server Configuration Manager) in a stopped state. Could that be an issue?
    Appreciate any one helping me out.
    Thanks

  • Error deploying JDBC driver for SQL Server 2005

    Hi all
    I'm trying to deploy a JDBC driver for MS SQL Server 2005 (downloaded [here|http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=C47053EB-3B64-4794-950D-81E1EC91C1BA&displaylang=en]). When I try to deploy it according to the instructions found [here|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwce10/helpdata/en/51/735d4217139041e10000000a1550b0/frameset.htm] it fails.
    The error in the logs doesn't give any useful information though. It only says Error occurred while deploying component ".\temp\dbpool\MSSQL2005.sda".
    Has anyone else deployed a driver for SQL Server 2005, or perhaps have any suggestions of what else I could try?
    Thanks
    Stuart

    Hi Vladimir
    That's excellent news! Thanks for the effort you've put into this. I'm very impressed with how seriously these issues are dealt with, specifically within the Java EE aspects of SAP.
    May I make two suggestions on this topic:
    1. Given that NWA has such granular security permissions, please could the security error be shown when it is raised? This would help immediately identify that the problem isn't actually a product error, but rather a missing security permission (and thus save us time and reduce your support calls).
    2. Please could the role permissions be clearly documented (perhaps they already are, and I just couldn't find the docs?) so we know what is and isn't included in the role. The name is very misleading, as a "superadmin" is generally understood to have no limitation on their rights - so clear documentation on what is in-/excluded would be most helpful.
    On a related topic, I came across another issue like this that may warrant your attention (while you're already looking into NWA security issues). I logged a support query about it (ref: 0120025231 0000753421 2008) in case you can retrieve details there (screenshots, logs, etc.). It's basically a similar security constraint when trying to create a Destination. I'm not sure if this is something you would like to include as standard permissions within the NWA_SUPERADMIN role or not, but I think it's worth consideration.
    Thanks again for your help!
    Cheers
    Stuart

  • HotFix4 for SQL Server 2005 doesn't work

    I am having problems getting a machine running SQL Server 2008 R2 (Express) to connect to a SQL  Server 2005 (Full Standard Edition) DB on another machine via the LAN. It times out when connecting from a C# application. SSMS on the SQL 2008 machine
    connects fine, but SSMS on the 2005 machine (connecting to a copy of the same DB on the 2008 machine) says it isn't supported and I need a hotfix.
    I downloaded the hotfix link  from Microsoft, but when I paste it into the Browser I get a DNS name failure for the Hotfix4 server. I don't want to paste the full link here because it is not made public by MS and you need to request it. However, the
    first part of the URL is: http://hotfix4.microsoft.com/SQL%20Server%202005...etc.
    I have checked out all of the obvious things in both instances (2005 AND 2008)... Both instances are configured to accept remote connections, both have TCP/IP and named pipes protocols enabled, both are running fine for local connections, both have the SQL
    Browser enabled and the Computer Browser Service running on the network.
    As the hot fix doesn't install, I am kind of out of ideas.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks,

  • What is the difference between SQL Server 2012 R2 & SQL Server 2014

    Hi all,
     I am using SQL Server from last 3 years. I started SQL Server 2008 R2. Now I am using SQL Server 2012. I want to change my development environment to SQL Server 2012 R2. But suddenly I saw that SQL Server 2014 is released. I want to know what are the
    differences between SQL Server 2012 R2 & SQL Server 2014. Are both those are the same or different products?
    I searched through the Internet but I didn't find any article regarding that. So could someone help me to solve this matter?
    Thanks,
    Regards,

    differences between SQL Server 2012 R2 & SQL Server 2014.
    We don't have a Version "SQL Server 2012 R2", only 2005, 2008, 2008R2, 2012 and 2014.

  • What is the process for connecting ethernet.  Have ethernet cable connected to stereo received for internet radio and Blue Ray. However Network System Preferences indicates ethernet not connected and has red dot to left.  Note Airport wireless is working.

    What is the process for connecting airport extreme ethernet?  I have ethernet cables connected to stereo receiver for internet radio and another to blue ray player.  The system preference network indicates "ethernet not connected" with red dot to left of this message.  The airport wireless works and has green dot to left of it.  The stereo receiver and blue ray player do not respond and give message not connect to internet.  Thank you.  /  cfpirate 

    It worked for me finally. I took out the DNS numbers in airport admin utility, and restarted the airport express. I do not remember putting the DNS numbers in, I wonder from where the airport express got those numbers.
    After restarting, it worked.
