WSUS 3.0 SP2 on Server 2008 R2 not working (no console or other access)

Hi,
In a brand new network with all 2008 R2 servers I setup WSUS. Initially I could not install the role from the Roles tool in Windows and had to install it from a downloaded file from Microsoft (which I later read is due to 2008 R2).
This ran fine for about 2 weeks, I had all the clients and workstations in groups, approving updates and installing them.. all tickety boo and then one day the console wont connect and I have not been able to get back into WSUS to do anything. I tried removing
and re-installing WSUS (both keeping the local database and then deleting it the second time) but nothing helps. My event log reports the following every 6 hours:
Event ID 13042 - Self-update is not working
Event ID 12002 - The reporting web service is not working
Event ID 12012 - The API Remoting Web Service is not working
Event ID 12032 - The Server Synchronization Web Service is not working
Event ID 12022 - The Client Web Service is not working
Event ID 12042 - The SimpleAuth Web Service is not working
Event ID 12052 - The DSS Authentication Web Service is not working
Some extra points based on what I have read:
The server DOES have .net 4.0 installed
WSUS has been removed and re-installed
All servers are 2008 R2
The server also runs Remote Desktop Services.. but aside from this is just a file and print server
Because this server (and the whole network) are brand new, standard practice is to run WSUS against the Microsoft update site and install all critical and optional updates and patches and etc..
While it was working, I can't recall installing anything that may have broken it, however typically Windows patches do not cause problems on our machines, so I do not pay too close attention to what gets installed.. Perhaps one of these updates broke WSUS?
Can anyone offer some suggestions for how to troubleshoot this and try get things moving again?
Thanks!

Hi,
> then one day the console wont connect and I have not been able to get back into WSUS to do anything.
Any error message when you launch WSUS console?
You mentioned you have Kaspersky Endpoint Security software installed on WSUS server, have you configured antivirus software to exclude WSUS content directory?
If you cannot access the WSUS console and a timeout error message appears, the CPU of the WSUS server may be at, or very close to, maximum utilization, which causes the database software to time out. If the database software times out, the WSUS console cannot
be displayed.
One way of inadvertently overtaxing your WSUS server is to have antivirus software monitor the WSUS content directory. During synchronization, the antivirus software can overload the CPU.
Please ignore WSUS content in your antivirus software and check the result.
For more information please refer to following MS articles:

  • SCCM 2012 on Server 2012 and WSUS 3.0 SP2 on Server 2008

    We are installing SCCM 2012 SP1 fresh into our development environment - the primary site server and the database (SQL 2012) are both being installed on Server 2012.
    We have an existing WSUS box on a Windows 2008 (not R2) server - the WSUS server version is 3.2.7600.256.  We have set this up as the software update point.
    For the purposes of this discussion, these are the server names (obviously obfuscated):
    Primary site server:  sccm.domain.local
    Database server:  sccmdb.domain.local
    WSUS server:  wsus.domain.local
    On the primary SCCM server, I've installed the WSUS user interface (Install-WindowsFeature -Name UpdateServices-UI), in order to work with the remote WSUS server.
    Updates synchronization appears to be working fine, but when I try to setup client distribution via SUP, I'm getting the following error in the Application event log:
    Log Name:      Application

    to the Software Updates Point.
    As well as this in the WMC.log:

    It would seem obvious that this is because of a mismatch in versions between the WSUS server version on wsus.domain.local, compared to the UpdateServices UI on sccm.domain.local.
    Is there a way around this, without having to upgrade the WSUS server to Server 2012?
    Thanks for any thoughts you may have!

    Not really. As mentioned though, even the separate WSUS server is probably overkill. In ConfigMgr, WSUS is used to handle the update catalog and that's it. Clients do *not* report status to the WSUS instance and do *not* download updates from the WSUS instance.
    No management is ever done in WSUS.
    So, in reality, once a month, clients connect to WSUS to download the delta update catalog (delta compared to what they currently have) which usually comes out to about a few hundred KB (yes KB, not MB) -- this download is done via BITS. The server also
    syncs the catalog from the WSUS instance, via the SUP, in a similar fashion. If you are using SCEP, the frequency will be greater, but the deltas will be much smaller.
    EULAs, as needed, are also stored in WSUS and accessed by clients -- these are also quite small only a select few updates requires them.
    That's it. Standing up a dedicated WSUS instance means having a server sitting there doing almost nothing else.
    If you are concerned about load on the site server, then you should create a separate site system that contains the MP, SUP (and WSUS instance), and DP. Then, for HA purposes, you can simply build a second site system with these three roles also and HA will
    essentially be automatic (from a client functionality perspective).

  • SQL Server 2008 Intellisense not working

    I've seen a post about this here: http://forums.microsoft.com/TechNet/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=3371737&SiteID=17
    I've installed SQL Server 2008 and for a few weeks, intellisense was working fine.  The past week, it has stopped working entirely.  I'm running version 10.0.1442.  In Tools-->Options-->Text Editor-->Transact-SQL-->Intellisense, the option to "Enable Intellisense" is turned on.  I've also made sure that SQLCMD Mode is turned off.  I've disconnected a reconnected to my database several times with no luck.  I can try to uninstall and reinstall like the guy in the post I've referenced did, but if I can help to try to find out what's wrong here, I'm willing to wait for a while before doing so.

    Hello to everyone this is my first post and I hope I'm doing right.
    Anyway, I had the same issue with the IntelliSense. I think I messed up installing the Express Edition over SQLServer 2008 R2.
    I'm not an expert, but I think this corrupted my environment. 
    This was driving me crazy and even if it's not an essential tool, I was looking for another solution, I didn't want to install again everything.  
    So I started to look at the Option window and I played with its settings.
    For the ones who don't know...
    Tool > Options > Text Editor > Transact-SQL > IntelliSense.
    But 'Enable IntelliSense' was ticked, so I unticked and saved.
    I opened the view again and I ticked them again.
    Magically my IntelliSense started again to work fine.
    Hope to be helpful.
    Cheers.

  • Windows WSUS 3.276 on Windows Server 2008 R2 not deploying updates to Clients

    It is finding and interfacing with all windows computers are the network.
    I select updates to install to computer groups but they are not getting installed.
    You can see from the report it needs to install 41 updates but they are not being installed.
    Why are the not getting installed?
    "No events are available. This may be because the client has not yet sent the event or the events have been purged from the server. Please refer to %WINDIR%\WindowsUpdate.log on robtruet-pc.leopold.int for details."
    The Report for most of the Clients show. 
    0 updates failed to install.
    40 updates have not been installed
    0 updates have been install or not applicable.
    0 updates have unknown status.
    I login to the client and it shows Windows is up to date.  But I look at updates installed history and now updates exist for the last 60 days.
    I included the log from the client below for one day.

  • WSUS 3.0 SP2 master server cross-forest migration impacts

        Hello to all, I'm preparing a cross-forest migration and have one WSUS 3.0 SP2 master on source forest placed in root domain. This master has 16 replicas scattered among child source domains. As I plan do migrate member servers using MS
    tool named ADMT 3.2 and considering that I will firstly migrate just root domain member servers to target forest, I need to know:
       1- Will WSUS 3.0 SP2 master server work after it's migrated from source to target forest? I mean: can all its replicas still access and donwload the necessary patches from it? Will its configuration be in place (groups, schedules, etc) ?
       2- Should I need to change source domain clients WSUS GPOs to point to the just migrated master server (new FQDN name)?
       3- Is possible to change my just migrated WSUS 3.0 SP2 to be replica from a master server already present on target forest? How this move could affect its existing replicas still present on source forest?
       Suggestion and attention points will be appreciated.
       Regards, EEOC.

    1- Will WSUS 3.0 SP2 master server work after it's migrated from source to target forest? I mean: can all its replicas still access and donwload the necessary patches from it? Will its configuration be in place (groups, schedules, etc) ?
    Fundamentally yes, as long as the downstream servers are updated to use the new hostname and DNS properly resolves that hostname. NOTE: You cannot "migrate" the WSUS role using ADMT. What is your plan for "migrating" the WSUS upstream server?
    2- Should I need to change source domain clients WSUS GPOs to point to the just migrated master server (new FQDN name)?
    Probably. Presumably the hostname and IP Address of the server are going to change.
    3- Is possible to change my just migrated WSUS 3.0 SP2 to be replica from a master server already present on target forest?
    Yes, but that's kind of a cart-before-the-horse move... which brings us back to the original question: How do you plan to "migrate" the upstream server?
    How this move could affect its existing replicas still present on source forest?
    Well.. it will introduce a three-tier replication hierarchy for starters, which will slow everything down by one or two days. But, really, I wouldn't worry about that because there's no real need to do this.
    Suggestion and attention points will be appreciated.
    Install a *NEW* WSUS server in the target forest.
    Configure it as a replica of the existing master in the source forest.
    Replicate.
    When the replication is complete, reconfigure it as an Upstream Server and RESET the Product Category and Update Classifications to what they should be.
    Synchronize with Microsoft.
    When that sync is successful, enabled regular synchronizations.
    Configure clients and downstream servers to sync from the new upstream server in the target forest.
    When all clients and downstream servers are working with the new server, turn off the old one.

  • Will the reports developed in sql server 2008 r2 BIDS work when deployed on sql server 2012 reporting manager

    Will the reports developed in sql server 2008 r2 BIDS work when deployed on sql server 2012 reporting manager?
    when I check on Microsoft site it says
    Reports are not upgraded when you upload a report definition file directly to the report server
    or SharePoint site. Upgrading a report definition in SQL Server Data Tools is the only way to upgrade the .rdl file.
    When you open an .rdl file in Report Designer in SQL Server Data Tools (SSDT), if the report was
    created for a previous namespace, Report Designer automatically creates a backup file and upgrades the report to the current namespace.
    This is the only way you can upgrade a report definition file.
    Now here is another confusing statement which says
    You can upload an .rdl file created in an earlier version of Reporting Services to a SQL Server
    2012 report server and it is automatically upgraded on first use. The report server stores the report definition file in the original format. The report is automatically upgraded the first time it is viewed, but the stored report definition file remains
    unchanged.
    All I want to know is if I deploy a rdl made in 2008 r2 to 2012 will it work on the report manager of
    2012?
    <o:p>
    </o:p>
    Mudassar

    I have tested this fucntionality and can confirm that ssrs 2008 r2 reports work when you deploy them on new ssrs 2012 report manager .
    No Migration is required .
    I didnt even moved report server dbs .All I did is just deployed reports on the report manager and it worked .
    "You
    can upload an .rdl file created in an earlier version of Reporting Services to a SQL Server 2012 report server and it is automatically upgraded on first use. "
    Microsoft needs to correct this the documentation is misleading

  • Set up Search Service App For SharePoint server 2013 on Windows server 2012 R2 not working

    Hi all,
    I installed SharePoint server 2013 on Windows  server 2012 R2 using VirtualBox.  I created a DC(domain controller) server with a domain set up on one VM and it has SQL server 2012 SP1 installed. Then SharePoint 2013 on another VM was set up to access
    the DC server.  Everything seems working except Search Service App which cannot be sucessfully set up. Creation process for Search service app says Successful and 4 search databases were created and look fine. But when I navigate to search service app
    admin page, it gives error info:
    System status:  The search service is not able to connect to the machine that hosts the administration component. Verify that the administration component '386f2cd6-47ca-4b3a-aeb5-d9116772ef16' in search application 'Search Service Application 1' is in
    a good state and try again.
    Search Application Topology:  Unable to retrieve topology component health states. This may be because the admin component is not up and running.
    From event viewer, I see following errors:
    (1) Error From source: SharePoint Server
    Application Server Administration job failed for service instance  Microsoft.Office.Server.Search.Administration.SearchServiceInstance

    Since separate DC server and SharePoint server do not work, I installed SharePoint 2013 on DC server ( so DC server has everything on it now ) but it gives exactly same result. Later I installed SharePoint 2013 SP1 and still have the same problem with Search
    Service app. I spent two weeks tried all suggestions available from Web and Google but SharePoint Search Service simply does not work. Config and other databases work but why Search Service has this issue seemingly related to search DB.
    Could anybody please help out? You deserve a top SharePoint consultant award if you could find a solution. I am so frustrated and so tired by this issue.    This seems also to be a SP set up issue.
    Thanks a lot.

    Using new Search Service App wizard to create SSA is always a success. I could delete existing SSA and recreate it and no problem. It says successful but when I open Search Admin page from CA, it gives me errors as mentioned.
    Now I used the following PS script for creating SSA from Max Mercher, but it stays at the last setps in following script:
    Add-PsSnapin Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
    $IndexLocation = "C:\Search"  #Location must be empty, will be deleted during the process!
    $SearchAppPoolName = "SSAPool"
    $SearchAppPoolAccountName = "mydomain\admin"
    $SearchServiceName = "SSA"
    $SearchServiceProxyName = "SSA Proxy"
    $DatabaseServer = "W12R2DC1"
    $DatabaseName = "SSA"
    $spAppPool = Get-SPServiceApplicationPool -Identity $SearchAppPoolName -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
    if (!$spAppPool)
     $spAppPool = New-SPServiceApplicationPool -Name $SearchAppPoolName -Account $SearchAppPoolAccountName -Verbose
    $ServiceApplication = Get-SPEnterpriseSearchServiceApplication -Identity $SearchServiceName -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
    if (!$ServiceApplication)
    # process stays at the following step forever, already one hour now.  
    $ServiceApplication = New-SPEnterpriseSearchServiceApplication -Name $SearchServiceName -ApplicationPool $spAppPool.Name -DatabaseServer  $DatabaseServer -DatabaseName $DatabaseName
    Account mydomain\admin is an farm managed account, domain admin account, in WG_ADMIN role, It is in all SQL server roles and is DBO. I see search DBs are already on SQL server. From Event viewer, I got following errors in sequence:

  • SharePoint server 2013 Search Service App on Windows server 2012 R2 not working

    Hi all,
    I installed SharePoint server 2013 on Windows  server 2012 R2 using VirtualBox.  I created a DC(domain controller) server with a domain set up on one VM and it has SQL server 2012 SP1 installed. Then SharePoint 2013 on another VM
    was set up to access the DC server.  Everything seems working except Search Service App which cannot be sucessfully set up. Creation process for Search service app says Successful and 4 search databases were created and look fine. But when I navigate
    to search service app admin page, it gives error info:
    System status:  The search service is not able to connect to the machine that hosts the administration component. Verify that the administration component '386f2cd6-47ca-4b3a-aeb5-d9116772ef16' in search application 'Search Service Application 1' is
    in a good state and try again.
    Search Application Topology:  Unable to retrieve topology component health states. This may be because the admin component is not up and running.
    From event viewer, I see following errors:

    Since separate DC server and SharePoint server do not work, I installed SharePoint 2013 on DC server ( so DC server has everything on it now ) but it gives exactly same result. Later I installed SharePoint 2013 SP1 and still have the same problem
    with Search Service app. I spent two weeks tried all suggestions available from Web and Google but SharePoint Search Service simply does not work. Config and other databases work but why Search Service has this issue seemingly related to search DB.
    Could anybody please help out? You deserve a top SharePoint consultant award if you could find a solution. I am so frustrated and so tired by this issue.    
    Thanks a lot.

    Hi,
    According to your post, my understanding is that  SharePoint server 2013 Search Service App did not work on Windows server 2012 R2.
    Please make sure you configure Search Service Application correctly. You can refer to:Create and configure a Search service application in SharePoint Server 2013
    I recommend to created new Search Service Application, and made a full crawl. Then assigned the new SSA as the default SSA for webapplications. Finnlay checked  the issue doesnt occur now,
    If all search related components now are online, to keep the enviroonment clean, you can delete the old SSA.
    Thank you for your understanding.

  • I would like to know why when i make a web page and test in my local browser it works fine then when i tranfer to my server i does not work fine example i used javascript to put a prompt bar on a page and it worked fine local but on server not working

    how come when i make a web site and i test it in my local server it works fine when i tranfer to server certain things do not work example i used javascript to put in a prompt bar for a newsletter page at the server it did not work but at local it did also it works at MOZZILLA but not internet explorer i also have cs4 was wondering if there is a way to test a page in dreamweaver and then transfer   THANK YOU X-FACTOR-MEDIA

    In future, please try to make the subject line of your posts shorter. In this case the following would have been sufficient: "JavaScript works locally, but not on remote server".
    Short, but meaningful subject lines make it easier for others to identify what your question is about, and often bring faster help.

  • Lion Server DNS service not working for locally created zones. Caching working fine.

    OS Lion Server DNS service not working for local zones. Was fine under Snow leopard server but Lion server upgrade has severely broken my DNS and web sites. Zones look fine under Server Admin but keep getting "query failed (SERVFAIL) for xxxx at /SourceCache/bind9/bind9-42/bind9/bin/named/query.c:3921" in the logs. BTW - Server Admin cant seem to see the log file either.
    Surely someone actually tested that DNS still worked on Lion?

    I upgraded from Snow Leopard Server to Lion Server on day 01.  I hit the same issue where, after the upgrade, my Lion Server stopped serving names for my private local domain.
    I finally took a few minutes to figure out what was wrong.  After turning on debug logging and looking through the logs, I found my particular issue, now resolved.
    The issue I had was, when the domain initially was setup when I installed Snow Leopard Server, for some reason it created a zone just for the server (in my case, something like zone "s-01.mydomain.priv"), and a separate zone for all the other machines (zone "mydomain.priv", containing all the private IPs for my local domain).  I never messed with it because it worked, but generally I would have put all of them in the same zone.
    My zone "mydomain.priv" had a nameserver and mail exchanger entry for my server, s-01.mydomain.priv.  I could see this in the Server Admin app on the DNS bubble, Zones tab, mydomain.priv selected, and the General Info panel.  This was fine in Snow Leopard.  This was failing the zone load in the updated bind for Lion Server, though.  The issue was that the "mydomain.priv" zone was referencing the s-01.mydomain.priv server, which was not defined in the "mydomain.priv" zone but rather in the "s-01.mydomain.priv" zone.
    My fix:
    1. In Server Admin, add the server to the zone "mydomain.priv".  I put an A record (Add Machine) in the "mydomain.priv" zone for my server named s-01.mydomain.priv.
    2. shut down DNS on the OS X Lion Server (hit the Stop DNS button on Server Admin).
    3. edit /etc/named.conf by hand, removing the specialized zones that contianed just the server.  In this case, it would be the section titled 'zone "s-01.mydomain.priv"' and the section titled 'zone "3.10.1.10.in-addr.arpa"'.  Your in-addr.arpa zone name will change based on whatever your server IP address was.  My internal one happened to have s-01.mydomain.priv mapped to 10.1.10.3.
    4. Once the specialized zones for just the server were removed, I started the DNS up again.  Instead of serving four zones as it had in OS X Snow Leopard Server, it now servers two zones.  And, now, it is resolving my local machines for the mydomain.priv zone.
    YMMV.  I did note that it wasn't totally necessary to do step 3, but I never really understood the need for the specialized domain, and keeping it around would have a copy of data that would just confuse things.
    Hope that helps.  That's been the only hiccup I've noticed updating to OS X Lion Server thus far.

  • HT1338 microsoft office 2008 is not working with Lion

    My Microsoft office 2008 is not working, it gives me a message that this program is in use in another computer on my network.
    Is there any way to fix this issue?

    That is the copy protection scheme that Microsoft employs. Each Office program sends out it's license code to your network. When you start an Office program, it looks for other Office programs with same code operating and prevents you from using it.

  • WSUS 3.0 SP2 on Server 2k8 R2 getting Error 364 and 10032

    This is a FRESH installation of Server 2008 R2, installed with SP1 (no updates applied from Windows Update - I want this to happen via WSUS)
    WSUS 3.0 SP2 FRESH installation from standalone installer.
    Installed KB2720211 to correct the issue of clients being unable to communicate with WSUS server.
    WSUS installs fine, synchronizes fine, but a number of updates showing "The Microsoft Software License Terms for this update failed to download"
    Many other updates report the download failed with REASON: HTTP 404 The requested URL does not exist on the server.
    Throughout the last 2 days of researching and investigating these particular errors, I have performed the following steps:
    Verify correct permissions for the drive and folders - no change
    wsusutil reset - no change
    wsusutil checkhealth - Reports WSUS working correctly
    Uninstalled and reinstalled WSUS 3.0 in full
    Removed server from any and all firewall and ISA devices, turned off the internal Windows Firewall completely - no change
    Reinstalled Server 2008R2 again from scratch, installed WSUS again from scratch - no change
    WSUS and Server 2008R2 configurations are identical to a previous installation that was working perfectly, and is NOT using a proxy.

    In my research on this issue I have encountered a number of posts mentioning this, although none of them specified v3.2.
    Given that the patch only applies to WSUS v3.2, to do so would be notably redundant. :-)
    Is the KB2734608 applicable to WSUS 3.0 as well?
    You seem to be confused by nomenclature.
    "WSUS 3.0" == WSUS v3 RTM (released Spring 2007)
    "WSUS 3.1" == WSUS v3 SP1 (released Summer 2008)
    "WSUS 3.2" == WSUS v3 SP2 (released October 2009)
    Nonetheless, the patch only applies to WSUS v3 with Service Pack 2, aka WSUS v3.2.
    I am hesitant to say that maybe an upgrade to 3.2 may fix the issue
    Since you can only install WSUS v3.2 on a Windows Server 2008 R2 server, this is really a non-issue.
    I added the WSUS role within the server manager rather than from the standalone installer.
    This was probably a key differentiator. I'm curious why you used the standalone installer to begin with.
    I should mention, during the server installation, I also did a full factory reset on the router, and reconfigured it accordingly.
    I'm still inclined to believe this had the most significant impact on your download failures.

    The views expressed on this post are mine and do not necessarily reflect the views of SolarWinds.
    Yea, in looking around further I figured out that the 3.2 was a reference to 3.0 SP2. I went ahead and added that patch and lost the ability to synchronize period. At that point I just wiped everything again and am back up and running.
    I used the standalone installer as the server role had originally failed and was unusable in the original installation. I stayed with the standalone installer as I had thought it may have been updated from the version included in the 2k8 R2. I now know otherwise.
    I was still able to use the wizard to start with, which allowed the server manager to add the necessary required roles and services, but would ultimately fail in installing the WSUS role. This time it all worked like a charm, so I went with it.
    As for the router, it may have been the culprit, although prior to the initial server reformat, the previous WSUS installation was working perfectly, about an hour prior to the completion of the the format and the installation and configuration of the WSUS
    server.
    Either way, thanks for the help and the clarifications on some of the items for me.

  • Unable to reinstall WSUS on air-gapped Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 server

    A co-worker installed WSUS on an air-gapped (not connected to the Internet) server running Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1, but he wasn't sure he'd configured everything properly, and asked me to uninstall and reinstall it.  The uninstallation went without
    a hitch, but reinstalling through the Server Manager gives the error message "The update could not be found.  There may be a network connection issue."  The Server Manager log shows the following:

    Hi,
    0x8024402C WU_E_PT_WINHTTP_NAME_NOT_RESOLVED
    Winhttp SendRequest/ReceiveResponse failed with 0x2ee7 error. Either the proxy server or target server name cannot be resolved. Corresponding to ERROR_WINHTTP_NAME_NOT_RESOLVED.
    Stop/Restart service or reboot the machine if you see this error frequently.
    Since the server is not connect to the internet, at least it should have an available upstream server. Did you configure it correctly? The error message indicate that the
    name could not resolved, make sure you can resolve the name of the upstream server. Run nslookup check the result.
    If it is the only WSUS, then give it internet connection and test.
    Hope this helps.

  • Crystal Reports Server 2008 dispose not closing document

    Hey everyone,
    I;m running some reports through Crystal reports 2008 server (no service packs) using the RAS sdk and Java.
    This was working swimmingly for a while until yesterday when the server hosting the RAS and app server fell over. I tracked it down to a problem with the RAS server. The error i got in my logs was General Exception, Report SDK Exception Not enough memory for operation.  I reran the process and when i watched task manager the memory being allocated to crystalras.exe went through the roof! it went from 50k to 1.8g of ram in under 10 minutes.
    I tried lots of the other suggestions in here for the errors about memory that are similar to mine (increasing the heap memory etc.) and none of them worked.
    One thing i noticed though is that when I run the process and watch the metrics page of the RAS server on the management console the number of Open documents does not decrease even though i am 100% totally and utterly calling .close and .dsipose after every report i open. Definitely. Ive debugged it a million times and it is calling these methods. It is successfully releasing the connections fine but does not seem to releasing the open documents. After the Open documents metric went down to 0 (im presuming after a timeout) the memory that crystalras.exe was reduced. I then  changed the timeout tag in CRConfig.xml to 1 minute to see would this help out any but the open documents did not timeout any faster.
    Would i be right in thinking that these open documents would be causing my problem of the aggregated memory? Im at my wits end here so any piece of help is greatly appreciated!

    Hi Ted,
    Thank you for getting back to me, i was on vacation there for a while so that is why i didnt get back to you.
    When I call reportClientDocument.isOpen() just before i dispose of the report it is true and after i dispose of it it correclty returns false.
    I am really stressing out over this as we are reduced to running 500 reports through the server (one after another) and then stopping the process and restarting the RAS server and then running another 500 reports.
    crystalras.exe gets up to about 2g of ram consumed for only 500 reports.
    I even changed some of the timeout settings on the settings page of the management console to see would they timeout and release the memory but alas it didnt release as much as a byte. I left it for 3 days and it didnt deallocate one piece of memory.
    Im currently investigating is there some way from my code that I can restart the RAS server, either through the SDK or through a windows process or scheduled task.
    Ted, as far as i can see there are no service packs for Crystal Reports Server 2008, is that right? when i go to the downloads page there only ones listed for release X1.
    Thank you for your help.

  • SSIS Package developed in SQL Server 2008 R2 Using BIDS 2008 is not working in SQL Server 2012

    I am working in a Product based company.
    We have given a Pre-requisites to our customers like SQL Server version should be 2008 or later.
    I have developed and deployed my SSIS package in SQL Server 2008 R2 with BIDS 2008.
    I have used "Script Component" in my package.
    We will take only DTSX package file to the customer places and run using SQL Agent Job daily. 
    Who are all(Customer Environments) using SQL 2008 or R2 my package is running fine.
    Who are all(Customer Environments) using SQL 2012, I am facing the below issue 
    The component metadata for “Script Component, clsid {874F7595-FB5F-4OFF-9BAF-FBFF825OE3EF}” could not be upgraded to the newer version of the component. The PerformUpgrade method failed.
    Still the same package is running fine for some of the customers having SQL 2012.
    I am getting the above error only for few customers.
    Can someone please guide me how to proceed on this. Is there any solution to go without upgrading the package to SQL 2012. Because we need to maintain only one package for all customers

    Hi Katherine,
    I am just using the script component only for generating Identity column purpose. I will get the maximum count from the table and using this count value as Input (JurisCount in my below code) for script component and increment the counter for new records.
    Finally I am mapping the Script component output value (JurisKey in my below code) to Key column of the table. That's all I am doing with Script Component.
    Here is my Simple .net code
    /* Microsoft SQL Server Integration Services Script Component
    *  Write scripts using Microsoft Visual C# 2008.
    *  ScriptMain is the entry point class of the script.*/
    using System;
    using System.Data;
    using Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Pipeline.Wrapper;
    using Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Runtime.Wrapper;
    [Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Pipeline.SSISScriptComponentEntryPointAttribute]

              Add your code here for postprocessing or remove if not needed
              You can set read/write variables here, for example:
              Variables.MyIntVar = 100
        int counter = 0;
        public override void Input0_ProcessInputRow(Input0Buffer Row)
            if (counter == 0)
                counter = Convert.ToInt32(Row.JurisCount);
            Row.JurisKey = counter;
            counter = counter + 1;
