Domain Rename

Hello Everyone,

Am planning to migrate my domain from a single label domain CONTOSO to FQDN CONTOSO.COM, I would your advise on the impact of this change to my SQL services and the application using the SQL instances. Will all the services resume as normal once all machines pick the same new domain? Are there things you would recommend I take care of before and after rename?

Thanks in Advance.

SQL Server Agent - Job History not being recorded (SQL Server 2005)

November 15, 2012, 10:28 am

I have been trying to get to the bottom of an issue with SQL Server Agent not recording any job history. I am using SQL Server 2005 on a single Windows Server 2008 machine (i.e. no other domain controllers/active directory servers).

The SQL Server Agent service is configured to 'Log On As' NT user account 'sqlagent'. The jobs themselves are executed successfully (all 'Transact-SQL' type steps actually use the 'sa' account) however the there is no actual job history to be found for any of the jobs -- in the SQL Activity monitor, the 'Last Run Outcome' is always 'Unknown' and the 'Last Run' date is always 'Never' for all jobs; in the SQL Job History Viewer there are no entries for any instances of a job being executed.

The 'sqlagent' NT user account ia a member of the 'Administrators' NT group; the 'Administrators' group appears under Security > Logins on the database server. I have another server that also uses the same setup with a 'sqlagent' NT user account, on that database server the 'sqlagent' user account appears under Security > Logins and the SQL job history works correctly. I have attempted to add the 'sqlagent' to the Logins on the affected server using the SQL Server Surface Area configuration but this operation returns an error, detailed below.

Additionally, I have attempted to use the built-in NT system account 'NETWORKSEVICES' to run the SQL Agent Service but this also results in exceptions in the error log and no job history being recorded. The entries in the error logs are very similar to those from the 'sqlagent' NT user account but instead the user is referred to as 'NT AUTHORITY\ANONYMOUS LOGON' in the error logs, again these are detailed below.

Many thanks in advance for anyone's time and help with this issue!

The following errors are raised in SQL Server Agent > Error Logs each time a job is executed:

Date11/11/2012 18:30:01

I have tried granting the 'sqlagent' NT user account with SysAdmin Server Role privaledges using the SQL Server User Provisioning tool in SQL Server Surface Area Configuration, but this always throws the following, similar error:

SQL 2014 changed my NTFS permission - default backup directory setup

Hello everybody.

Today I realize that new SQL 2014 changed my existing folder permissions (NTFS). This folder was shared for domain users and had set NTFS permissions for domain users and local administrators.

In setup of SQL I set backup directory to this shared folder and continued with setup. After finisting setup I realize that this folder is not accesible via network. Finally I realized that setup changed permissions - it added his MSSQL$INSTANCENAME account into Security Tab and added all permissions to it. Other permissions was erased!

What the hell MS is wrong with you?

I must retake ownership to this folder and subfolder to fix it.

This is not funny and I think it is a BUG! I think that older SQL servers do not have begavior like this new one 2014.

Maybe it will be helpfully for somebody.

Maybe Microsoft found his lost saying - This is NOT a BUG, it is a FEATURE!

Have a nice day and keep calm.

We have an instance of SQL Server 2005 which we are about to upgrade to SQL Server 2008R2.

The Upgrade adviser has informed us that we must deal with the Full-Text search before we upgrade.

Full-Text Search is installed but disabled. So, it would be best for us not to have it at all.

My question is this.. How do I uninstall it?

The OS is Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard.

SQL Server Memory Questions We were too shy to ask

April 8, 2014, 12:03 am

Hi,

I have the following SQL Server Memory related questions. Shedding light on the same highly appreciated.

1. The Maximum Memory Configuration applies only to BufferPool Memory Usage.

2. BufferPool & Plan Cache Memory usages are different and Plan Cache Memory usage is not restricted by Maximum Memory Setting.

3. I am using Process Explorer at on server on which the Maximum Memory configuration is set to 18 Gigs whereas the total SQL Server is showing as 19+ Gigs, the Physical Memory on this server is 24 Gigs. I understand there some non-bufferpool usages, Is the non-bufferpool usage could be the only content.

4. What are the major memory usage blocks that is showing with Process explorer like, Bufferpool, Plan Cache, Non-bufferpool memory usages, is there any other memory usage items ?

5.On a 2008 64-bit instance, Maximum Memory is configured with 18 Gigs and the Process Explorer is showing the memory usage as 19+ Gigs, As per task manager the memory usage is more than 95 % of the total memory 24 Gigs. To get rid of the alert, If I forcefully issue the following queries, I am able to get rid of the memory critical alerts, i.e using Maximum Memory configuration the maximum limit is reduced to 4 Gigs and increasing it again to 18 Gigs, is this an recommended way of doing ? If not, what could be the impact,

EXEC  sp_configure‘max server memory (MB)’,4096;
GO
RECONFIGURE;
GO

EXEC  sp_configure‘max server memory (MB)’,18432;
GO
RECONFIGURE;
GO

6. I have issued DBCC FREEPROCCACHE on the SQL Server instance, and the memory usage on Process Explorer is not getting reduced. (Before issuing this query check that the total plan cache usage memory is more than 3 Gigs, the following query is used to check the plan cache memory usage :

SELECT SUM(cast(size_in_bytes AS BIGINT))/1024/1024 AS 'Size (MB)'
FROM sys.dm_exec_cached_plans;

Question for SQL execution plan, strange..

April 9, 2014, 1:47 am

HI, all

We meet a strange problem for a execution plan. First, we have a StoreProc, it runs around less than 20 secs. One day, it runs more than 5 mins (Execution plan 1). I checked all the index (fragmentation is low and Scan density is high), and re-run the update statistics, but the performance still have no any improvement.

This is very strange for me, why the query becomes slow suddenly on one day (we will know the performance immedidately because it is a daily function, user will report to us if the performance is low, we only got complain today.)?

Finally, we tested in two ways.

1. We run the below update statistic command with one index - "update statistics dbo.PCMS_CARD_TRANS MGM_IDX_PCMS_TRANS_TIME_PROCESSING"

Result: It runs under 20 secs.

2. We create a new index - "MGM_IDX_Test_TRANS_TIME"

Result: It runs around 1 second, but I checked the execution plan (Execution plan 2) didn't change and the new index is not use for it...we feel strange again on it......

All information was included in below:

Table - PCMS_CARD_TRANS, PCMS_CARD_PROFILE.

VIEW - PCMS_V_CR_CARD_STOCK

StoreProc:  PCMS_CardRoom_GetProcessedCardStock

Index: All zipped.

Physical Memory: 97%

I have a SQL Server 2008 R2 on Windows Server 2008 R2, on 64-bit virtual machine, dual processors dual quad core , and 32 GB RAM.

If I restart the server, and after all the processes and services start running, the used memory is not more than 4 ~ 6 GB (I don't remember exactly, but small compared to the overall 32 GB). Every day the used memory increases for 2~3 GB!, till it reaches 97% of the physical memory (31 GB),  29 GB of them for the SQL Server:

My question is how can I know what SQL Server processes or queries causes those increases in the memory? and if it is a process or query, why the used memory is not released after that process or query finishes ?!

Honestly, there is no complain about the performance of the server, but the weird thing is that as much as I give the server RAM as much as the SQL Server takes! The server was 8 GB and I increased it to 16 then 32 GB, but the SQL Server keeps eating more and more!
