Make sure Kernel Mode Authentioncation is set for The Windows Auth on the following Virtual Directories:

- Autodiscover

then IIS RESET

Microsoft SQL 2005: ingration services issues

randomb

Hello!

I was preparing af new sql server for a customer when i did encounter the following error, when i was about to create my maintaince plans:

TITLE: Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio
——————————
Cannot show the editor for this task.
——————————
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
Exception from HRESULT: 0xC0010014 (Microsoft.SqlServer.DTSRuntimeWrap)
——————————
Exception from HRESULT: 0xC0010014 (Microsoft.SqlServer.DTSRuntimeWrap)
——————————
BUTTONS:

OK

I found out by gooogling (so no, im not taking credit for the solution, im just preseting it for you ;) )

%windir%\syswow64\regsvr32 “%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Microsoft SQL Server\90\dts\binn\dts.dll

This solved it for me, as far ive notice this only occur on 64bit systems, so is the old famous bug still here?

well who knows, other solutions ive found:

- reinstall sql tools
- reinstall sql server (yiiikes? :s )

anyway post your comments or other solutions :-)

vmware: Migrating from Small business 2003 to 2008

randomb

Hello all,

hint: if you are migrating an existing sbs 2003 server (physical hardware) to virtual esxi, you will have a issue reguarding the xml file to be read during the initial installation,

Use magic iso to create a 1,44Mb floppy img

In bios of the virtual machine make sure that your server aint trying to boot on either usb or floppy at first priority

Make sure the floppy “Connect on Power-on” then you will be sure it will read the file during the migration

Works every time for me

Link: here for magic iso

Windows 2008: WSUS – Move WSUS Content

randomb

Hello All..

We recently had another issue at a customer site, where a windows 2008 SBS went awol, due to the wsus content was filling up and getting very big!

So challenge here is to move the wsuscontent folder to another disk set using following command:

  1. Start Command prompt
  2. cd c:\Program Files\Update Services\Tools
  3. wsusutil.exe movecontent NewDrive:\Folder NewDrive:\Logme.txt
  4. Either wait for the command to Delete old content, or Delete it yourself.
  5. Have fun

Type following from a command prompt:

Microsoft SQL 2005: Problems with maintaince plans and integration services.

randomb

Hello,
we had a problem at a customer site where we did experince the following issues:

The sql server have been updated to SP3
Integration services havent been installed.

So to be able to create proper maintaince plans following has to be done:

1: Install integration services from the sql cd
2: download sp3 again to lift integration services to the proper level.

After that you will still recieve following error (or close to:)

Invalid column name ‘from_msx’.
Invalid column name ‘has_targets’. (Microsoft SQL Server , Error: 207)

Resolution:

Run the following script from the installation directory:

(example path: C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.XX\MSSQL\)
SYSDBUPG.SQL

Copy paste this into your Studio manager and Press execute!.
(but what does it do? it will upgade the remaining sp’s that havent been upgraded during sp3 install and eventuelly missing sys bases)
After that if you still continue to get some errors launch the following commandline:

%windir%\syswow64\regsvr32 “%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Microsoft SQL Server\90\dts\binn\dts.dll

After that, it will be a good idea to restart the service instance to make sure the new settings is read.

If you need any further help with this, dont attempt to write here, and i will try to help you the best way possible.
