WSUS can't connect to SQL DB

June 1, 2015, 6:42 am
$

I have a Windows Server 2012 R2 install that I am trying to use as a WSUS server.

I have setup SQL Server 2012 Express on the server to be used as the WSUS database. When installing the WSUS role, I select the option to install the SQL database and continue through the wizard to the point where I have to connect to the database. At this point I enter 'ServerName\MSSQLSERVER' and select 'Check Connection'.

At this point, I get the following error: 'A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server. The server was not found or was not accessible. Verify that the instance name is correct and that SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections. (provider: SQL Network Interfaces, error: 25 - (Connection string is not valid)

I have tried using localhost and the server's IP for the name, but those fail as well. How can I get this working? It's urgent for me as I already have downtime scheduled for patching.

The server is not hosting any other roles and is joined to an existing domain. Unfortunaely, I don't have access to any of the other servers on the domain.

Hi,

Is SP1 for SQL Server 2014 available on WSUS ?

If not when will it be available ? Guess there is a time slot between when it available on the download center and from WSUS?

Hello,

I have just migrated a complete SQL Server 2008 R2 SP2 development server from Windows 2003 to Windows 2008 Server.  I just realized that I should not have used the Data center edition Product Key as this is Development server.  I am being asked to downgrade to Developer edition.  I have already migrated all the logins, databases(40 databases), cubes etc.  I really can't uninstall and reinstall Developer edition.  How else can I upgrade/downgrade to switch from Datacenter edition to Developer edition.  Please help.  Thanks.

Hello All -

Could someone please pout these two things in perspective for me?

- when I disable "allow remote connections to this server" from server properties>connection page, I can still remotely connect to the server from SSMS...so what is the impact of enable/disabling it?

- what is the impact of changing the remote query timeout (on the same page) from default value?

Thanks

We installed SQL 2012 evaluation and now it's expired.  We purchased SQL Server Standard Core (2014 but we were told it could be downgraded to 2012).  When I go to get a license key from the licensing web site, it pops up that no key is required.  How can I apply my new license if I don't have a product key?

Thanks

I have a server that I deployed from the gallery that had the enterprise version of SQL which cost way to much monthly and want to convert it to our own license.   My steps would be to do the following.

shutdown guest vm without sysprepping capture disk(s) removing vm.

redeploy vm from these disks (in essence just a clone)

 now this is were things get trickey (as far as I know)

I'll run the sql upgrade advisor and put our license key in.

Do these steps seem reasonable or will they even work :)

SQL server alias on config manager necessary?

June 3, 2015, 9:10 am

Hi All, so you have two place to configure alias, in SQL server configuration manager under aliases tab on and on the cliconfg.exe tool on a different machine. If I want another server to see this sql server by the alias name I will need to configure the alias on the cliconfg tool on the client machine. It looks like as long as I have the alias configured in the cliconfg on the client machine, I don't need the alias to exist on the config manager, the client can still see SQLserver using just the alias on cliconfg...if so, I wondering under what situation I would really need the alias on the configuration manager? thanks in advance.

Thanks.

Central Management Server doesn't support multi domains

Hi Guys, 

As CM doesn't support SQL authentication, and if access SQL Server on another domain with no trust, we cannot use Windows authentication as well.
CM only supports Windows authentication, but for large organizations which will have multi domains, does anyone has better solutions for this? e.g. free SQL tools...

I am thinking if there is no proper way/tool, we will develop one then.

Thanks,

database does not appear in sql server management studio

Hi,

I'm new to SQL server and want to try it. To do this, i use VSC 2013 (C#, .net4.5, ADO) and i installed SQL Express 2014 on a PC Under W8.1pro. I succeeded to create and access a database with my application. My database is created with a code like:

using(var connection =newSystem.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection("Data Source=(local); Integrated Security=true;User Instance=True;")){
	connection.Open();using(var command = connection.CreateCommand()){
		command.CommandText=String.Format("CREATE DATABASE {0} ON PRIMARY (NAME={0}, FILENAME='{1}')", dataBaseName, dbFileName );
		command.ExecuteNonQuery();

		command.CommandText=String.Format("EXEC sp_detach_db '{0}', 'true'", dataBaseName );
		command.ExecuteNonQuery();}}

My problem is to manage this database with "Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio"; i fact, i never succeeded to see my database in this tool. The .mdf file of my databae is located in a directory "C:\Users\myuseraccount\Documents\SQLServerExpDBs\". I tried to join my mdf file, but MSqlSMS refuse to display the content of all my user account directories.

Someone can explain how to manage such DB in MSqlSMS?

thanks in advance

I have admin. rights to the SQL 2014 box, but not to the instance of SQL 2014 on it. As a result I can't view the databases. Since it's a test machine could I rerun the installation (Via Installation Center), and give myself full rights without having to overwrite or drop the current databases?

EncryptByKey and VARBINARY Size Question

Hello,

I'm currently learning how to implement Encryption into my SQL database, and I've run into something I don't know how to explain or understand. I'm working on creating a set encryption for a set of columns in a database, and I don't know how to figure out what size the VARBINARY column needs to be. After some trial and error, I've noticed that a clear text of 9 characters needs 68 varbinary characters, 100 cleartext=148 varbinary, and 254 cleartext= 308 varbinary characters. How is the minimum number of varbinary characters calculated? 

Thanks,
