Cannot Start Sql Server 2000 Named Instance After Restoring Master

Jun 1, 2008

moving to a new sql server box because of a problem with the SAN its connected to.
started my named instance in single user mode and restored master. sqlserve.exe -c -m -s ovops
now the instance won't start. tried starting it with the -t3608 switch.. won't start!!
Its because my drive configuration is different on the new server than it was on the old server, I cannot start the instance because it is expecting model, msdb, temdb and all of the user databases on drives that don't exist?? what can I do?????

Connection String For Default Instance Of SQL Server 2005, On A Box Also Running A Named Instance Of SQL Server 2000

Nov 15, 2007

The box I am trying to connect to is running two instances of SQL Server.
There is a SQL Server 2005 instance which is the default. There is a SQL Server 2000 instance which is named 'SQLSERVER'.
 I can connect to the SQL Server 2000 instance no problem:<add key="ConnectionString" value="server=MYPCSQLSERVER;database=mydatabase;user id=****;password=****" />
However,  I am having trouble connecting to the Default SQL Server 2005 instance. I have tried:
<add key="ConnectionString" value="server=MYPC;database=mydatabase;user id=****;password=****" />
 but it doesn't work. I have tried explicitly setting SQL Server 2005 to use port 1434 (as SQL Server 2000 is running on port 1433), and then used:
<add key="ConnectionString" value="server=MYPC,1434;database=mydatabase;user id=****;password=****" />
but this doesn't work either.
 
Am I mssing something here? Any help much appreciated
Thanks...

Named Instance: SSIS Service Won't Start

Jan 15, 2008

Dear Experts,

I am running a named instance of SQL-Server 2005 SP2 on Win2003 with two local partitions C: and F:
The TCP settings for this instance have ecplicitly been set to use the port 1433.

The config file for SSIS (F:ProgrammeMicrosoft SQL Server90DTSBinnMsDtsSrvr.ini.xml) has been changed to:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<DtsServiceConfiguration xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">

</Folder>
<Folder xsi:type="FileSystemFolder">
<Name>File System</Name>
<StorePath>..Packages</StorePath>
</Folder>
</TopLevelFolders>
</DtsServiceConfiguration>

I have tried different logons (NetworkService, LocalSystem, DomainAdmin).

The service still refuses to start. There is no detailed message in the event log just that the service didn't respond in a reasonable time, doh!

Any help is welcome

SQL Server 2000 Named Instance/sp4 Install: Restart Later

Jun 26, 2007

We are trying to quickly put together what needs to be accomplished to install a named instance of SQL Server 2000 on an existing production server (also running SQL Server 2000). It appears as if the install will require a reboot. Can the reboot be postponed until after-hours without impacting the default instance of SQL Server?

Also, I see that if certain services are stopped prior to installing sp4 that you can avoid a reboot. However, if we are unable to stop these services (DTC, for example) without impacting the default instance of SQL Server, will the default instance of SQL Server experience any issues if we postpone the post-sp4 reboot until after hours?

Thanks!

Problem Restoring SQL Svr 2000 Master Db - Wrong Server Version?

Jul 20, 2005

I'm trying to rebuild from a meltdown. I'm using disk backup files. Icould have sworn that I had SQL Server 2000 SP3 installed on the oldmachine, but maybe not.With SP3 installed, I get a message along the lines that the restorecan't be done because the backup was created using server version134218262 and this server is version 134218488.I've searched the documentation and can't find any reference to thoseversion numbers.In any case, I thought SQL Server 2000 could restore backups createdon any SP level to any SP level.Any ideas?--Regards.Richard.

Named Instance Problems (Default Of 7.0/2000 Instance)

Oct 10, 2001

I am trying to set up a Named Instance of SQL 2000 on the same machine that has a default instance of SQL 7.0. The setup always completes and I am able to register the Named Instance of the SQL Server with which it was installed on. However, when I try to connect the users to the database, with both windows and SQL authentication, I receive a SQL server not found error. I have tried an alias setup as well as physically specifying the port number in settup up an ODBC connection.
Has anyone ran into similar problems?
Also, has anyone been able to successfully complete the process as mentioned above?

Cant Use ODBC Data Source On SQL SERver 2000 Sp3a Named Instance

Jul 23, 2005

Here's my situation:I have an ODBC DSN setup for Timberline Data (An accounting packagethat uses pervasive.sql) on my sql box. I set up a linked server usingthe supplied timberline odbc driver. I have two sql instances setup,the default instance and a named instance. On the default instance,the linked server works great no matter who is logged in using it (allauthentication is NT integrated). However on the named instance onlythe NT account that the MSSqlserver$NAMED service is logged in undercan utilize the linked server. All others get a ODBC error:"error 7399: OLE DB Provider 'MSDASQL' reported an error. AccessDenied. OLE DB error trace [OLE/DB Provider 'MSDASQL'IUnknown::QueryInterface returned 0x80070005: Access Denied.]."Far as i can tell, both instances are setup the same, except that oneis the default and one is a named instance.Why the different results for the default instance vs a named instance.Any ideas?Thanks

Alias For SQL 2000 Named Instance

Aug 12, 2002

We have a two node activepassive SQL Server 2000 cluster SP2 running on Window 2000 advanced server SP2. Everything is working fine including failover. Today we migrated over our 7.0 databases to the SQL cluster and they attached fine and upgraded fine but we would like to shutdown the 7.0 server and bring up the clustered SQL Server under the old name. We will be running 3 instances of SQL Server 2000 on the Cluster so at least 2 of these will be named instances like this: "Virtual serverinstance". Is it possible to create an alias for this SQL Server so that we could access the server under the original name of the server???
Thanks!!!

a sql 2000 cluster. Both in a active/active setup and active/passive set up.
I am experimenting to see if normal restore in a stand alone environment would work. But I would like to know if there is a definitive method to use.
Looked on BOL could not find anything.

Any help would be could.

After Restoring MASTER Database, Can't Start SQLServer Service: Configuration Block Version 0 Is Not A Valid Version Number

Jul 16, 2007

Now, I checked and verified that my backup version of SQL Server is the same as the version installed on the computer I'm restoring too.



I have SQL Server on a production machine that I backed up and want to test a full restore on a dev machine to make sure it will work when I need it to.



Now that I've run the restore command on my tape backup and go to restart the SQL server service I receive:

Configuration block version 0 is not a valid version number. SQL Server is exiting. Restore the master database or reinstall.



I'm afraid I don't understand why this is happening. If the builds are the same, then shouldn't restoring the MASTER database have worked normally and I'd be able to restart the service now?



Any thoughts or suggestions?

Cannot Connect To A Named Instance Of SQL 2000 Or 2005

Jan 20, 2006

Hi,
I am struggling connection to a named instance of SQL 2000 (SP4) from another machine but without any success. I get an error message saying that the server does not exist or access is denied.
 
The security configuration in this named instance is the same as the default instance (also 2000) and the remote machine can connect to it successfully.
 
I also configured the aliases in Client Network Utility in the client machine and set the server (machine) name and the port number used by the instance - but no help.
 
I use osql and Query Analyzer to connect to it, but I cannot connect by any of them.
 
Connecting locally, in the machine where the instance is installed, is successful.
 
The same behaviour appears when I try to connect to another instance on the machine which is 2005.
Something with the named instance is problematic.
 
Any help?

SQL Server Admin 2014 :: Cannot Connect To Named Instance (2nd Instance) From Local SSMS

Jul 22, 2015

I've two instances(Default, Named[dynamicsFINANCE]) running on SQL server 2014. However, when I try to connect to named instance say (dynamicsFINANCE) using SQL authentication from local SSMS, I get below error message:

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: 26 - Error Locating Server/Instance Specified) (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: -1)

I assigned a static port number to the named instance [dynamicsFINANCE] 1450. I also setup the firewall rule to allow access to Port 1450.

SQL 2012 :: Clustered SSAS Unable To Connect To Named Instance (instance Not Found On Server)

Mar 20, 2014

I have a 3 node cluster on which I have installed SSAS as it's own insntance. I have created this as a named instance and can connect to it by serverinstance if I'm on the server itself. However from my desktop I get the error saying instance was not found on server name.

I have defined an alternate port and setup firewall rules and can connect via server:port but not serverinstance. Prior to making this change SSAS was running on default port of 2383 and I could connect just by servername.

I have read many articles for previous versions saying that clustered SSAS will always use 2383 and that you must connect just using servername. However and this is were it gets strange. I have a 2 node UAT cluster with SSAS setup exactly the same way I've described above and I can connect from my desktop as serverinstance.

Should I be able to connect as serverinstances for a named clustered instance in 2012 ?

Restoring From 2000 Backup To 2005 Instance

Nov 13, 2006

I did a backup of a SQL2000 database (named Winstis) using the 2005 management studio. I then created a blank database on my 2005 instance (named Winstis). I then tried to do a database restore to the new 2005 database. I got an error:

System.Data.SqlClient.SqlError: The backup set holds a backup of a database other than the existing 'Winstis' database. (Microsoft.SqlServer.Smo)

I even tried the option to Overwrite Existing database and I got a different error:

System.Data.SqlClient.SqlError: The operating system returned the error '32(The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process.)' while attempting 'RestoreContainer::ValidateTargetForCreation' on 'D:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQLData est.ldf'. (Microsoft.SqlServer.Smo)

Also the 2005 instance database is on C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLDataWinstis_Data.mdf

and the 2000 instance is on
D:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQLDataWinstis_Data.mdf

How can I accomplish getting the database from 2000 to 2005 with all tables, store procedures, and functions?

Intermittent Login/General Network Error Connecting To A Named Instance Of SQL 2000

Mar 27, 2008

Greetings,

I have a VB 2003 .NET application that I wrote for a customer that connects to a named instance of SQL 2000. Until recently it has been working fine. Lately the program either pops a timeout failure within a few seconds or a general network error. I've increased the connection timeout settings to 90 seconds but the error still pops within a few seconds. I'm thinking something has changed in the environment that prevents a clean connection to the named instance of SQL server.

How should this issue be troubleshoot to determine the problem and what areas need to be looked at?

Thanks

Restoring Master And MSDB To A New Server

Nov 10, 2005

I have a server attached to a SAN, all user db's are on the SAN, master, tempdb, and msdb are on the local machine. We will be replacing the machine (not the SAN) to a newer sql server. Our plan was to create the new server with same name, deattach current user db's,backup master and msdb, then connect new server with same name an IP to SAN. I then wanted to restore the master and msdb db's to the new machine, and attach the user db's. We are running log shipping to a stand-by server in this configuration. I was thinking I could let last tran log backup and copy occur, and then let the last restore happen on the standby. I would then shut down the agent. Should I not be able to restore the MSDB and master to the new server (as long as all file folder locations are the same) and be ready to go? Or are there issues when restoring the Master and MSDB to a new server from a different server.

How Can I Get The Port Of A Named Instance Of SQL Server

Sep 14, 2004

Thanks for Microsoft's Windows XP Service Pack 2 and Windows Server 2003 that make the security much stronger. However, besides the invisible benefit so far, I have become the victim of this security policy.

I have several named instances of SQL 7/2000 installed in my machine. They are not visible out of the Microsoft new fire wall. I need to access the instances from outside the fire wall, but I don't know which port I should open for the instances.

From SQL online, the default instance of SQL server is connected through TCP/IP by default port 1433. I could successful open that port and made the default instance visible to outside. However, the port 1433 doesn't work for the named instances. SQL online said, the port for named instance is dynamically (by default) chosen the first time the instance is started. So, actually, I have no way to know the port.

Is there anyway that I can check the database or somewhere to get the port that is used by the named instance?

Thanks for any input and recommendation.

Connecting To Named Instance Of SQL Server

Jun 16, 2008

We have installed SQL 2000 SP4 on Windows 2000 Server. We created named instances on the SQL server.
When trying to connect to named instances from a remote sql client which is on windows 2000 and windows 2003, its throwing an error message saying that remote connections are disabled.
But, remote connections are enabled on the SQL server.
After changing the component services settings on windows 2003 where sql client is installed, we are able to connect to named instances.
But, after applying the same settings on another windows 2003 machine, we are unable to connect to the same instances.


We have another machine where we installed SQL 2005 on windows 2003 SP1. When trying to connect to named instances from any remote client, its throwing an error message saying that remote connections are disabled. But, remote connections are enabled in SQL server settings. We tried connecting to the instances by changing the component services settings but still we are facing the same issues.


Can you please help me on above issues?

Migrating From SQL2K Named Instance To SQL2K5 Default Instance

Feb 19, 2007

Hi, I have a task in hand to migrate (upgrade) from SQL2K named instance to SQL2K5 default instance. There are many intranet applications touching current SQL2K. I would like to perform this upgrade such that I don't have to touch any application code - meaning I don't have to change the connectionstring to point to new Default instance. How can I achieve this?

So, in otherwords, here is what I want to achieve:

Current Server: SQL2K: SERVER_AINSTANCE_A (named instance)

Upgraded Server: SQL2K5: SERVERB (default instance)

If I have both default, I could achive this by setting up DNS alias after migration done so that any call for SERVER_A would point to SERVER_B. But in my case, I don't have SERVER_A, I have named instance. Is there any solution?

Regards,

Vipul

Windows Service Account Issue When Restoring Master To Another Server

Nov 7, 2007

I noticed when I restore a master database to a server other then the one which created the backup of master, SQL Server contains the following three local security groups that were defined on the source server. The problem is these groups are "local" and do not apply to the server where master was restored.

ServerNameSQLServer2005MSFTEUser$ServerName$InstanceName
ServerNameSQLServer2005MSSQLUser$ServerName$InstanceName
ServerNameSQLServer2005SQLAgentUser$ServerName$InstanceName

For example, if you have a default SQL Server instance named MARKETING_TEST the security folder will contain the following three entries.

MARKETING_TESTSQLServer2005MSFTEUser$MARKETING_TEST$MSSQLSERVER
MARKETING_TESTSQLServer2005MSSQLUser$MARKETING_TEST$MSSQLSERVER
MARKETING_TESTSQLServer2005SQLAgentUser$MARKETING_TEST$MSSQLSERVER

If you then backup the master database on an instance named MARKETING_PROD and restore it to MARKETING_TEST, the security folder on MARKETING _TEST will now contain the following three entries.

MARKETING_PRODSQLServer2005MSFTEUser$MARKETING_PROD$MSSQLSERVER
MARKETING_PRODSQLServer2005MSSQLUser$MARKETING_PROD$MSSQLSERVER
MARKETING_PRODSQLServer2005SQLAgentUser$MARKETING_PROD$MSSQLSERVER


These entries would be invalid because no such server exists and therefor no such local groups exists. There appears to be no Microsoft documentation explaining how to handle these groups when restoring master from one server to another. My assumption is that whenever restoring master to another server you must drop these three groups and add the correct corresponding groups along with the appropriate permissions. I don't understand why SQL Server would not rebuild this information for you during a restore.

Any explanations?

SQL Server 2008 :: Named Instance And Specified Port Not Connecting?

Feb 14, 2013

I have opened up a port on a remote SQL instance and can see that the port is LISTENING when using the PortQry tool. I have also set the TCP port in the TCP/IP properties in the IPAll section for that instance, yet I am unable to connect and get an error of

Connection Timeout Expired. The timeout period elapsed while attempting to consume the pre-login handshake acknowledgement. This could be because the pre-login handshake failed or the server was unable to respond back in time. The duration spent while attempting to connect to this server was - [Pre-Login] initialization=1; handshake=14998; (.Net SqlClient Data Provider)

I have done this on other instances, although they were default instances, and it has always worked fine.

DB Engine :: Cannot Connect To Remote Named Instance Of Server

May 8, 2013

We have 3x instances of SQL Server 2012 installed on a single remote server - there's the default MSSQLSERVER instance, then INSTANCE01 and INSTANCE02. I can remotely connect to the default MSSQLSERVER instance through SSMS, but I cannot connect to either of the additional named instances (INSTANCE01 or INSTANCE02). 

For example, if I try to connect to "sql.domain.com", I can successfully access the default instance on the remote server. If I try to connect to "sql.domain.comINSTANCE01", I get an error stating

"A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server".

However - if I try to connect to "sql.domain.comINSTANCE01, 49301" (where 49301 is the TCP Port for the TCP/IP Protocol for this SQL Server instance), I am able to successfully connect.

This leads me to think that there's a communication issue with the SQL Server Browser service running on the remote SQL Server and my workstation. 

The following items have been verified:

SQL Server Browser is running on the remote SQL ServerWindows Firewall has been disabled on the SQL ServerTCP Ports 1433, 1434, 1954, and 49301 have been opened up on the remote destination's firewallUDP Port 1434 has been opened up on the remote destination's firewall.

Sql Server 2005 Named Instance Dsn Entry Using A .bat File

Several applications in out environment use Microsoft access to access the SQL server databases. Our new SQL Server 2005 instance is a named instance. We would like to create a .reg file to update the individual workstations as part of the migration. For some reason the .reg file with a named instance does not work. If the entry is created through the GUI it works. The server drop down does not show the named instance, only the server name but if you type the servernameamed_instance it finds it ok. Here is an example of what works and what does not. Any ideas on what the problem might be?

Cannot Connect To A Named Instance Of SQL Server From Compact Framework 2.0

Mar 14, 2008

I have two instances of SQL Server on the same PC:

Default instance: SQL Server 2000
Named instance with name €œMS2005€?: SQL Server 2005.
Also I have another SQL Server 2005 on another PC.

I created a .NET 2.0 Compact Framework application that connects to the database and executes simple query. This application can connect to any instance of the SQL Server when it is executed on the PC (not on the server). But the problem is that when I try to execute the application from the windows CE 5.0 device, the application can only connect to the default instance (SQL 2000 and 2005) and can not connect to the named instance (Name: MS2005).
Is it some kind of limitation of the SqlClient library for the compact framework?

Below are the code and connection strings:

string connectionString = €œServer=1.1.1.1;Database=DB1;Uid=sa;Pwd=€?
string connectionString = €œServer=1.1.1.1\MS2005;Database=DB1;Uid=sa;Pwd=€?

using (SqlConnection connection = new SqlConnection(connectionString))
{
connection.Open(); //This is the point where exception is generated

using (SqlCommand command = connection.CreateCommand())
{
command.CommandText = "select count(*) from users";
object result = command.ExecuteScalar();

Console.WriteLine("Result: [{0}]", result);
}

connection.Close();
}


Thank you for your time and advice.

Cannot Remotely Access SQL Server Standard Named Instance

Oct 10, 2006

Good Day,

I am creating a SQL Named instance as a testing environment. This instance is on the same physical box as my Development environment, both are SQL 2005 standard edition. From the server in Management Studio, I can load, and interact with both instances. From a remote connection (e.g., my pc) I cannot access the named instance. I am getting the following:


Connect to Server


X Cannot connect to <server><named instance>

Additional Information


An error has occured while establishing a connection to the server. When connecting to SQL Sever 2006, this failure may be caused by the fact that under the default settings SQL Server does not allow remote connections (provider: SQL Network Interfaces, error: 26 - Error Locating Server/Instance Specified)(Microsoft SQL Server)
I have checked, and rechecked the server settings for this named instance, and remote connections are set to "allow" I have enabled TCPIP and Named Pipes prototocals, and have ensured that my firewall is allowing the "listenting port" for the named instance, and have even tried turning off my XP firewall during testing.
I am sure that I have probably missed something, and have searched the community but only have been able to find resolutions that I have already tried. Is there more?
Thanks in advance for any help and guidance you can provide.
