Uninstall SQL Virtual Server 2005 From Cluster
Jun 10, 2008
Hello All.
I have a failed sql cluster setup on Windows 2003 OS cluster. sql will not uninstall on node 1 because it says the group name was not specified in the template.ini file for the cluster. The OS cluster nodes have been evicted from the cluster. The OS cluster is no longer available to provide a group name for.
SQl uninstall process process is failing because of the error mentioned above.
I want to completely , uninstall SQL server from both nodes,
clean up Windows Server and install just a default instance of SQL server on just one of the machines, The cluster can wait.
Thanks.

Curious on how this will work.. if i install sql 2005 standard edition on one virtual server.. to a fixed disk (actually 2 fixed disks.. one for C, one for D).. then install another 2005 standard edition on another virtual server.. do i just rerun the setup and suddenly the failover cluster option will NOT be greyed out?
Can anyone comment on this?
Thanks in advance.

I
am trying to install SQL 2005 in a 2-node virtual Windows 2003 cluster. I set
the cluster up through Virtual Server 2005 with 2 virtual nodes and one
virtual domain. The nodes can connect to each other as well as the
physical machine. When I try to install a fresh copy of SQL 2005 on my
cluster, I get an error every time. The
error stops the installation while checking system configuration after
installing prerequisites. The log file entry is as follows:

I have a 2 part question about adding a new 'named' Virtual Server to an existing Clustered SQL Server 2000 install.
I have a 2 node MSCS Cluster (WIN2K advanced Server sp4) with a default SQL Server instance. This has been in production and working fine. I created a new Cluster resource and reran SQL Server 2000 ENT setup and added a second Virtual SQL Server (named instance). After many problems, finally got the second Server installed. Now I have 2 SQL Server instances in the Cluster - from what I understand, you can have up to 16, each seperate installs with seperate Cluster resources.
Thus the problem:
For the Second Instance, I have specific instructions from the Applications vendor on how to install SQL Server to work with their APP. I need install SQL Server WITHOUT the Full Text Search component and WITH a specific Server Collation (Binary order for use with the 850 Multilingual character set). (I have done this same setup on standalone SQL Server installations for this APP and they have gone smooth).
When I installed the new Virtual 'named' instance in my Cluster, I Could NOT 'DESELECT' Full Text Search when I choose Custom install.. it does not appear as an option???
Also, I chose the "Binary order for use with the 850 Multilingual character set" during the installation, but that is not the Server Collation that is installed...
I have already installed SP3 for SQL Server against the Virtual Server on this Cluster, as well as a HotFix... and Now I'm thinking I need to rerun the SQL Server installation, uninstall the second server and reinstall to see if I can fix the 'Collation problem' .. but I'm not sure if this is the right course of action.
Does anyone know why I cannot 'deselect' Full text search component at install, and any ideas why it did not install with the SQL Server Collation that I specified at install????

Can the SQL Cluster Virtual IP be the same as the cluster IP?
Can I set up the cluster like:
Node 1:10.0.0.1
Node 2:10.0.0.2
MSCS Shared:10.0.0.3
SQL Virtual:10.0.0.3
or do they need to be unique?

Hi
We are planning to upgrade the SQL Server in our production environment from SQL Server 2000 to SQL Server 2005. This is a 4 Node cluster environment with 3 Databases on 3 Virtual instances. The main requirement is to achieve this with no/minimal downtime.
Could you please suggest or direct me to any documentation for the best practices used to upgrade such an environment?
Thanks

I have a clustered environment where I have virtual servers running and I have SQL 2005 on one of the virtual servers. Is there any way to have multiple SQL instances running on one virtual server, if so how? If this is not possible than what are some of my options?
Thank you,

I am unable to successfully complete an install of Visual Studio 2005 with SQL Server 2005 Express on a Virtual PC 2004 image, which seems to be a pretty reasonable expectation. The installation completes successfully all of the way through in a Windows XP Pro SP2 image, but at the end the installation program informs you that SQL Server Express has failed to install, with no other explanation. No setup log files give any information as to why the installation failed. Then I see in the fine print for SQL Server Express downloads that "There is no support in this release for Virtual Server, Virtual PC". (http://download.microsoft.com/download/c/c/6/cc66b572-a402-4c6a-8233-b9c7d05840c7/RequirementsSQLEXP2005.htm)

I uninstalled SQL Server 2005 through "Add or Remove Programs". Apparently I did something wrong. The files are gone, but when I try to reinstall, the installer says SQL Server already exists, and won't install. When I go to the Configuration Manager, it shows all the components, but not of the services are started - or will start. How do I clean this up without wiping my drive and reinstalling my OS?

I am new to SQL Server 2005. I want to uninstall the Standard version, for now, and install the Express version.
In my un-install of SQL Server 2005 I have managed to end up in a situation where I can't completely un-install, nor can I
re-install. I get a 1635 error message when attempting to install and I get the following message at system startup time:
Your SQL Server installation is either corrupt or has been tampered with(could not open SQLEVN70.RLL)
Please uninstall then re-run setup to correct this problem.
Assistance in resolving this would be deeply appreciated.

We're upgrading a SQL Server 2000 cluster (Active/Passive) running on Windows 2000 Server to a SQL Server 2005 Cluster running on Windows Server 2003. We can't purchase new hardware and we have no spare hardware. We also need to move from Windows 2000 Server to Windows 2003 Server at the same time. We want to keep downtime to a bare minimum.
What we were thinking was the following steps... Anyone try this?
1. Break the link between the servers.
2. Install a fresh copy of windows 2003 server on one side along with SQL Server 2005. While this step is running, the active node would still be live on Windows 2000 Server and SQL Server 2000 serving our customers.
3. Restore a copy of a backup from the active production side to the node we're upgrading and at that point we would bring the active node down, switching the active node to be the newly upgraded server.
4. As a final step, the old active node would now have the link to it broken, we would install a fresh copy of windows 2003 server on it and sql server 2005. At this point we would bring it back into the cluster and the cluster would be complete again.
Thoughts?

Sql 2005 Enterprise fails to install on a 64 bit VmWare Windows 2003 virtual server. All componets install up to including the Reporting services. The next componet (I believe it is the management studio portion) fails to install. I have moved the install files to the local machine and this did not help. If someone knows how to fix this please share.

Hi guys
We are in the processes of finalising or server architecture for our production environment and the proposal that has been put forward is to run the database within SQL Server 2005 which is running in a virtual machine. It is thought (by some) that this provides a very high degree of redundancy as it will use ESX server and will have multiple servers in the farm that it can move to in the event of a server crash (which i admit makes a degree of sense).
I however am worried about performance. I release as soon as you go to virtual you loose some raw power because the box is busy running the virtual but more from the point of view that if we make cretin hardware resources available to the virtual would the server run the same as if it was running on a physical machine of the same specifications. For example, if 4gb ram and x amount of clock cycles where dedicated to the virtual would it preform the same as running it on a physical box 4gb ram and x amount of clock cycles. If the answer is no, any supporting documentation that anyone knows of would be greatly appreciated.
As a side note if it makes any difference the database data files and transaction logs are being sorted in an external SAN and not within the virtual image itself.
Thanks
Anthony

Hello,
I am trying to uninstall Sql Server 2005 Beta in order to upgrade to
the Sql Server 2005 Enterprise Edition but without success.
Here is what I have already done:
I had VS 2005 2.0 Beta and Sql Server 2005 Beta installed. I wanted to
upgrade to the Professional Editions so I uninstalled VS 2005 2.0 Beta
and Sql Server 2005 Beta from Add/ Remove programs.
I have successfully installed VS 2005 Professional Edition but when I
try to install Sql Server 2005 it gives me an error saying that SQL
Server 2005 has detected incompatible components from beta versions of
Visual Studio, .NET Framework, or SQL Server 2005.
Please advise.
Thank you.

Hi,
I had to do a system restore to solve some other issues now my SQL Server 2005 doesnt work (SQL Server 2000 on the same machine [diffrent instance] does). I have tried to uninstall with add/remove programs but the instance doesnt appear there. I have tried to use the 'ARPWrapper.exe /Remove' command as described in KB909967 wich also fails.
I have also tried to reinstall with no sucess. I also tried uninstalling SQL2000 and removing as many references as I could find, again now joy.
Is there a script somewhere to remove everything (although I would like to try and keep the SQL2000 instance)?

My SQL Server 2005 Beta has expired and I want to unistall it. When I try, it tells me I need to have .NET framework 2.0 before I can run setup. I do have .NET 2.0. And I uninstalled it and reinstalled it and I still get the error from SQL Server when I try to unsintall. This error is pissing me off and this stupid beta is taking up almost a gig of space. HELP.

Long story short: Installed SQL Server 2005 Developers Edition along with Visual Studio 2005. Everything worked as it should.
Then there was a problem installing .NET Framework 2.0 Security Update. Fixed that by uninstall and reinstall of .NET Framework 2.0.
Now SQL Server does not work. So I figured uninstall/reinstall. Only problem is that it WILL NOT uninstall. I have tried to uninstall manually per KB article (9009967). That doesn't work either.
The error info that I'm geting is:
LinkID: 20476
Product Name: Microsoft SQL Server
Product Version: 9.00.2047.00
Message source: setup.rll
Message ID: 50000
EvtType: stateengine
esourcemodule.cpp@ScheduleActionAction@sqls::ResourceModule::LoadStringW@0x716
I get the same data during setup or uninstall. Neither of which completes.
Needless to say this is driving me nuts. I'm trying to learn VB.NET programming and many of the examples use SQL Server.
Any help would be appreciated.

This is getting extremely annoying. I cannot unistall another instance of SQL Server Express 2005.
I have had three different servers with the separate installs of SQL Server Express 2005. I remove the product (Backup Exec, Dell IT Assistant, Microsoft System Center 2007). I uninstall the third-party product and they leave behind SQL Server Express 2005. For what idiotic reason I do not know. Then I try and remove SQL Server Express 2005 and for the third straight time it fails.
Here's the latest failure error, "TITLE: Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Setup
------------------------------
The setup has encountered an unexpected error while Setting Internal Properties. The error is: Fatal error during installation.

Does anyone know how to actually remove SQL Server Express 2005? This is pathetic.

Hi.
I'm trying to perform a silent install/uninstall of SQL Server 2005 Express.
I manage to install silently, but when trying to uninstall with the following command line:
sqlexpr.exe /qb REMOVE=ALL INSTANCENAME=<INSTANCENAME>
there is one item left behind - "Microsoft SQL Server Native Client"
Does anyone know how to uninstall this as well?
Also, if MSXML 6.0 is already installed when installing SQL Server 2005 Express, when performing an uninstall with the above command line, MSXML 6.0 is also uninstalled, which may not be the desired outcome.
