Why would a SQL 2008 R2 SP2 server agent only see 40 processors when the server has 80?

The SQL Server iteslf see's 80 but the agent only 40? I thought that R2 didn't have this limitation?

Hello,
How you determined that SQL Server Agent or jobs are not seeing all cores? Please explain the issue more in detail.
Thank you in advance.

SQL 2008 R2 SP2 release to WSUS

Hello,
With the recent release of SQL 2008 R2 SP2 I was curious as to when Microsoft will be pushing it out to WSUS services? I've already done some testing in our environment with a manual download of it, but I was hoping to release it to my production servers
for a upcoming maintenance night through the proper channels in WSUS. I haven't been able to find any further details on the average release to WSUS time-frame, so I was hoping someone here could shed some light on the matter.
Thanks in advance,

Hi everyone, here is the official word on this from Microsoft
Just finished the brainstorm with our security guys and did some internal search, please refer to below details.
Between June 21 2012 and August 14th 2012, the internal servers which sign Microsoft software were misconfigured, as a result the signatures on a significant number of internally and externally distributed software
by Microsoft will expire prematurely on 01/10/2013 . The result of the signature expiration is that software binaries will be viewed as untrusted, causing them to be invalidated by Microsoft Update, fail installation, and/or detected by 3rd party security
software. This issue is not limited to Windows operating systems nor is it limited to Security Updates; it may have unexpected consequences across all products, as a full listing of affected products is still under investigation. Depending on how the
different products were signed, there are several expiration “milestones” which will occur between November 2012 and summer 2013.
As a failsafe mitigation, Windows released a bulletin in October as Microsoft Security Advisory (2749655)
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/security/advisory/2749655
This effectively catches the WinVerifyTrust API calls in the operating system and returns success to the calling program (e.g. SQL Server) if a specific faulty certificate is detected.
What SQL Server Products were affected: One of the SQL Server components that was affected was SQL Server 2008 R2 SP2 that was released in July. For this reason, SQL Server 2008 R2 SP2 was scheduled
to be released via WSUS in August but was put on hold when this issue surfaced. During the testing, Other than Untrusted Publisher errors when executing a small number of affected release packages, and CAPI2 Event Log errors on WinVerifyTrust calls, no ‘hard’
SQL Server installation or runtime failures have been identified. For this reason, we are not re-releasing SQL Server 2008 R2 SP2.
SQL Server 2008 R2 SP2 is not being released to Windows update because it is affected by the issue described in the
Microsoft Security Advisory (2749655)
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/security/advisory/2749655.
Users are required to get the update via download center.
SP2 is the only update that is affected by this issue and future updates will continue to be made available via WSUS.
In a word, honest speaking, this is a Microsoft product issue, and so I’m afraid manual installation would be the only choice. I will mark this case as non-decrement. Sincerely apologize for the inconvenience for
you.
Thanks, Michael.

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.

Problems install SCCM 2012 with remote sql 2008 r2 sp2

I am having issues installing sccm 2012 on a remote sql 2008 r2 sp2 server on a seperate instance.
I get the error "The network path was not found"
if i point it at the primary instance it will let me continue but i cannot install sccm into that instance.
I have turned off dynamic ports and set a static port but I do not see where i can enter that in the installer.
I cannot seem to verify is the ssb port is working correctly or not.
my account is local admin on both servers and a sql sysadm.
There is no firewall between servers.
Any suggestions?
Regards
Don

SPN is setup to AUTO register and is working. remote sql is not a cluster. Windows firewall on both servers is disabled. Sql browser is enabled and started. we have a group for system center that contains site servers and this group
is in the local admin of both servers and sysadm inside of sql server.
Why we are consolidating all or our lesser sql servers into a larger one.

Moving Service Manager Database From SQL 2008 R2 SP2 to SQL 2012 SP1

Hi Guys,
Just looking for some clarification about moving our Service Manager 2012 R2 database to a new SQL Server.
Our Service Manager database is currently on a remote SQL server, shared with other databases, running SQL 2008 R2 SP2. It was originally setup this way as we only deployed Change Management but we are now wanting to deploy everything, fully
utilising SCSM/Orchestrator and Cireson's suite. Due to the limited resources available on that SQL server we are seeing performance issues before even getting it all up and running.
I want to move the Service Manager database to a new dedicated SQL server running SQL 2012 SP1. I am aware of the official DB move procedure but it does not specifically mention moving up SQL versions. I have seen some comments around here that
it is fine to do but some feedback would be good, it is not something I have done before.
All servers in this are fully patched Windows 2008 R2. Also, we do not currently have a Data Warehouse so do not need to worry about that. It was dropped and uninstalled before upgrading to Service Manager 2012 R2 and will be reinstalled after this DB move
using a separate dedicated SQL server.
Thanks, Chris.

As long as your collations and permissions are the same as before it
should not be a problem. That sad i could not find any other documentation saying it's not supported.
I have moved SCSM databases between different SQL-versions before and it has worked fine if the collations etc are correct.

On Windows Server 2008, local account passwords are reset when the server is rebooted. Why, and how do we fix?

We are running a commercial application on a Windows 2008 Server. After reboot, we cannot access the application because two services fail to start. The reason they fail to start is that the passwords to the local user accounts tied to those services have
either been deleted or reset to a different value. In order to restart the application, we must reset the passwords of these two local accounts, then stop and restart all the application's services. According to the application's maker, the accounts
must be local.
My colleague believes the passwords are being deleted or reset as a result of a global domain policy. Is this likely?
Assuming my colleague is correct, is there anything we can do locally to prevent these passwords from being deleted or reset when the server reboots? If not, what is the most granular change we can ask our AD adminstrators to make to the policy, so
that these local accounts are not touched at reboot.
Thanks.

Hello,
have you configured the accounts to have the permission "Log on as a service"? I have seen that this is not given to the account and therefore the service fails to start.

Hi Razmee,
Thanks for your response.
The mail server worked when I originally set it up and continued to work for months afterwards.
What would make the outgoing mail server not be set up correctly after all that time?
Thanks again.

Hi I currently have about 20,000 photos in I photo, which the 'info' displays as being 68GB's worth. However the I Photo Library with the Pictures Folder displays it's size as 341.21GB ... Why would that be? How do I look at what's in the I Photo Library?

Hi I currently have about 20,000 photos in I photo, which 'info' displays as being 68GB's worth. However the I Photo Library within the Pictures Folder displays it's size as 341.21GB ... Why would that be? How do I look at what's in the I Photo Library to figure out what's happening, and if there's stuff in there I need to delete?

Best to keep the terms clear.
You export photos from iPhoto.
You move the iPhoto Library to an external disk.
They're are quite different processes. Exporting means at the end you have a file outside iPhoto. Moving means the files are still inside iPhoto.
So if you say:
I'm currently exporting the library to an external drive
That reads like I''ve selected all the photos in iPhoto and am exporting them to a folder on this external drive, and at the end I'll have a folder full of photos outside iPhoto. Is that what you mean?
Is it best to have a 'master' I photo library on an external drive for all the thousands of pics Im never really going to look at often - and a smaller one kept on the HD for day to day usage ...
Best? Hard to know. It might make sense on a portable. But if you're on an iMac why do you need a smaller one on the internal? Why not just have the whole library on the external? There is no performace hit.

A premature end-of-message was encountered--an incoming data stream was interrupted when the server expected to see more data

I am getting this error when try to transfer data from an hosted database.

The host program may have terminated. Ensure that you are using a supported client application programming interface (API).".
How can I work around this?
This is a simple data flow from a SQL 2005 table using SQL 2008 SSIS. going to a SQL 2008 table
ThanksSQL Server MVP http:\\sqlblogcasts.com\blogs\simons

You can still keep the NVARCHAR computed column in the table, but you cannot use MAX for the length, just use a fixed size and it will work like a charm (i.e. convert the whole result of the computation to NVARCHAR(4000)).

Hi Jason
I was getting the same behavior after Apple support had me delete some plist files to get Airplay going. I was also getting the following error:
the error occurred while processing a command of type 'writesettings' in the plug-in 'server vpn'
I went into ~/Library/Preferences/ and /Library/Preferences/ and deleted every plist contating the word server. I had to re-set up my server (meaning walk through some intial steps) but all of my settings were still there after that and everything started working again.
Just a thought, obviously try at your own risk but it worked for me.

How to show an error Page in Weblogic when the server is down

Hi ,
I heard that every container has the facility to show an error page when the server is down and (when the request has arrived at that time ).
Please tell me how to configure this in BEA weblogic ??
Thanks .

Hi,
From my understanding weblogic dose not provide the thing which you are asking for, reason is given below.
- An application is deployed only on managed server one (MS-1)
- Now if the request comes to the server (MS-1) when it was running and then for some reason MS-1 goes down then weblogic server would be able to send any response back to the client as its down.
- Hence nothing can be done as the request object is been lost when the server goes down or even cant redirect to an error page as for doing that too the server has to be up and running.
However there are other way round which can help you overcome this issue as shown below
- Use Clusters with few managed servers in it which gives you high availability and load-balancing.
- Use any web servers like Apache in front of weblogic servers.
Using the above things you can also use customized HTTP Error Responses with error-page element in web.xml and create your own error pages which can be re-directed for the web server side also. For more information go through the below links

Using Caching Service when the Server Sleeps or Users have logged out?

When the Mac Mini Server logs out all users, the OS X Server 3 should still be running to my belief. Thus the Caching Service of the OS X Server 3 should still be running. However, in a number of cases, I found that the time taken for an app download after the first time uses the same time for download. So, I guess the Caching Service is not performing at all when there is no Logged-in user.
I further wonder why there is a Sleep Button at the User Log-in Screen and no wonder that the Server will not be providing Services (e.g. Caching Service) when the Server is in Sleep Mode. Will the Server 3 be providing Caching Service while the Mac Mini Server has enter Sleep mode and it's just my configuration problem?

Here is an explanation of how caching server works.
http://nbalonso.com/os-x-server-caching/
In summary:
Your server periodically talks to apple. Compares notes. Verifies it is authentic. Gets a certificate from apple to prove it is authentic.
If your device asks for something (contacts apple), Apple says that you have a local caching server, and responds with the info telling your device to try your local server first. (includes certificate info, so your device is confident the local server that responds is actually authorized to do so).
If that goes well, then fine. If not, then you device falls back to getting the info from Apple's servers.
If your server is asleep, then this process won't work. Your server is supposed to phone home to apple (hourly?) to keep proving it is authorized to server updates, and to update Aple's record that it is authorized to serve updates for your private network IP address.

Mail suddenly not being received from server. The ISP tells me there's nothing wrong at his end. I can see emails on the server if I look up WebMail; they don't come into Mail. I haven't changed anything lately.

Mail suddenly not being received from server. The ISP tells me there's nothing wrong at his end. I can see emails on the server if I look up WebMail; they don't come into Mail. I haven't changed anything lately. The incoming server details haven't changed; the Connection Doctor shows the accounts are connected; I've turned everything off including the modern. Have exhausted my limited knowledge. Anyone with something similar?

I have decided to dedicate this thread to the wonderful errors of Lion OSX. Each time I find a huge problem with Lion I will make note of it here.
Today I discovered a new treasure of doggie poop in Lion. No Save As......
I repeat. No Save As. In text editor I couldn't save the file with a new extension. I finally accomplished this oh so majorly difficult task (because we all know how difficult it should be to save a file with a new extension) by pressing duplicate and then saving a copy of the file with a new extension. Yet then I had to delete the first copy and send it to trash. And of course then I have to secure empty trash because if I have to do this the rest of my mac's life I will be taking up a quarter of percentage of space with duplicate files. So this is the real reason they got rid of Save As: so that it would garble up some extra GB on the ole hard disk.
So about 20 minutes of my time were wasted while doing my homework and studying for an exam because I had to look up "how to save a file with a new extension in mac Lion" and then wasted time sitting here and ranting on this forum until someone over at Apple wakes up from their OSX-coma.
are you freaking kidding me Apple? I mean REALLY?!!!! who the heck designed this?!!! I want to know. I want his or her name and I want to sit down with them and have a long chat. and then I'd probably splash cold water on their face to wake them up.
I am starting to believe that Apple is Satan.

What's the root password when the server software is installed?

I read one item through Google that said when the server software is installed (the root account is enabled automatically), the password is the same as the one assigned to the administrator you define. That doesn't appear to be the case. I can't 'su' to the root account.
Why do I want to? I'm trying to find out why ssh hangs going to another box on my Lan and want to look at the services, configurations, and log files.

You could try the command line. There are several options, but 'dsenableroot' might be a good choice. Assuming your "admin" account is in good standing:<pre>/usr/sbin/dsenableroot -u adminusername</pre>You will first be prompted for the "user" password (meaning that of the "admin" user whose name was entered), then for the password you want to use for "root" (twice), though for security reasons none of the passwords will be displayed as you type - just hit the "return" key after each one.

Why would a SQL 2008 R2 SP2 server agent only see 40 processors when the server has 80?
