named server failed logon after installing MS04-011 patch

Need help urgently.
I have on win 2000 machine a default SQL Server (local) & a named SQL Server
instance (for separate web machine).
After installing the MS04-011 Patch last nite, the named SQL Server fails to
startup on reboot or manual. The default server on the other hand is runnin
g. But I cannot use the default server as it requires access within the loca
l machine only.
I tried uninstalling the patch, but it still cannot get the SQL server runni
ng again.
HOW CAN I RECOVER THE SQL Server Instance?
Additional info: On logon, following error massage:
"NtUninstall Q8877565\WinSys.cer" not found
before and after the uninstall of the patch.What error do you get when you start it? Is there anything in he SQL Server
errorlog when it fails?

The Error is simply Login Failed. Service Manager shows the instance is stop
ped, while the Default Instance (Local) is started. Click start, and return
Login Failure again.
Any idea what's wrong and how I may recover the Instance?

Named Pipes vs TCP

How would one go about adjusting the default connection to the SQL Server on the client side, using either Named Pipes or TCP as the default?Look for the Client Network Utility tool in the SQL Server program group. Or start->run CliConfig.exe.|||any way to pull of the defaulting programmatically??|||Yes, but the mechanics vary a lot depending on how you are programming. The easiest/surest way is to use the NETWORK parameter within DSN-Less connection strings (http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnodbc/html/odbcsql.asp).

Named Pipes Disabled in SQL 2005

I see Named Pipes disabled by default in SQL 2005. Is this for any specific reasons?Depends on the SKU of your SQL Server package, NP may or may not disabled. In general, we disable NP to reduce attack surface area. You can turn it on by your own judgement based on your cofiguration and requirement.

named pipes and sql cluster

Good day,
There is a 2-node microsoft sql 2000 cluster in active/active mode. .
Default instance is on node A, another named instance is on node B.
Client uses BDE while connecting. When the node A fails over to the
node B, it's not possible to connect to the default instance while
using trusted logins. When sql login is used, users can connect..
I can connect via Query Analyzer, but via tcp/ip only(when named pipes
aren't used) at this very moment.
As far as I understand, BDE uses named pipes with trusted logins.
Are there any workarounds?
Thank in advance,
Andrew.

Andrew,
What is the service pack level for your SQL Server 2000 clustered instance?
As of SQL Server 2000 SP3 -- Named Pipes Support Cannot Be Removed on a Virtual Server That Is Running SQL Server 2000 SP3
Here is the link that explains this
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?kbid=831127
Note: If you are already on SP3a --> On a virtual server that is running SQL 2000 SP3a, an administrator can disable Named Pipes support through SQL Server Enterprise
Manager in SQL Server 2000 SP2 or earlier.
Recommendation:
Although Named Pipes support is not required for a virtual server, Microsoft recommends that both network libraries must be present on the system because of the
following reasons:
Having both network libraries available permits an administrator or an alternative interprocess communication (IPC) mechanism to repair the system.
Clients can continue to work with the virtual server, even if only one server-side network library is available.

named pipes

The cluster consists of two nodes and of two instances. One default sql
instance and one another named instanse.
To connect to the named instance all the clients have alias(done by
cliconfg.exe), but when the instance fails over to another node no one
can't connect to this named instance anymore. If i edit the alias to
use the default instance pipe name, this helps!
It seems named pipes don't fail over to another node.. Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.
Andrew
Have you run cliconfg.exe on both nodes, not just the "primary"?

Maybe some of the registry is not replicated. In the cluster registry
there should be about 7 registry entries for each sql server resource
which are used to replicate some of the sql registry keys. Check if they
exist. Also check the contents of software\microsoft\microsoft sql
server\instance\mssqlserver\supersocketnetlib\np\p ipename on the problem
node when sql is running there.
The service account of the default instance should be able to read the
registry key's of the named instance and vice versa. Sqlservers log
mentions its listening on named pipes?
What I think is kind of strange is that you are able to use the client
network tools aliases but not tcp\ip. Your program should not even know
about named pipes or tcp/ip. It just needs to talk to the sqldriver.
Maybe its time to instal ethereal (http://www.ethereal.com/) on one of
the clients.

Just to make very sure, you do know the difference between the virtual
server name and the node name?
'when server2 fails over to server1 i can't use my application'
should be:
'when virtual server2 fails over to node1 i can't use my application'
Clients should connect to the virtual server name and not to the not to
the name of the physical server.

Named instances..anything different than default ?

We have always used default instances of SQL Server and wanted to start
considering multiple named instances on one physical host. Anything to watch
out for other than just the name change which goes as
Hostname\NamedInstance1 ?
Thanks
Hassam
Each instance on the server consumes memory , just be aware.

I believe licensing varies by both SQL Server version and edition. Separate
licenses are needed in some cases but not others.

I believe licensing varies by both SQL Server version and edition. Separate
licenses are needed in some cases but not others.
Hope this helps.

Named Instances

During the install SQL 2000 askes to use the default to name a instance. Is
it better to name the instance or use the default? What is the function of
instances in SQL?Hello,
With Microsoft SQL Server 2000, you have the option of installing multiple
copies, or instances of SQL Server on one computer. When setting up a new
installation of SQL Server 2000 or maintaining an existing installation,
you can specify it as:
A default instance of SQL Server.
This instance is identified by the network name of the computer on which it
is running. Applications using client software from earlier versions of SQL
Server can connect to a default instance. SQL Server version 6.5 or SQL
Server version 7.0 servers can operate as default instances. However, a
computer can have only ONE version functioning as the default instance at a
time.
A named instance of SQL Server.
This instance is identified by the network name of the computer plus an
instance name, in the format <computername>\<instancename>. Applications
must use SQL Server 2000 client components to connect to a named instance.
A computer can run any number of named instances of SQL Server
concurrently. A named instance can run at the same time as an existing
installation of SQL Server version 6.5 or SQL Server version 7.0. The
instance name cannot exceed 16 characters.
The maximum number of instances supported in SQL Server 2000 is 16. For
more information, refer to the following articles:

Named Instances

When applying patches if I have a default instance and
named instance on the same server, does the patch affect
both instances or can I patch them seperate?The executable code for each instance is deliberatly in a separate =directory so patches affect each instance seperately. This is so you can =test thingsin isolation. The exception to this is patches to tye clein =tools (Query Analyser, EM etc) as these are shared between instances.

Your only choice is to apply them separately. Think of it as two machines

A named instance is essentially a different server from
the default instance (and any other named instances).
You must patch all instances separately.

Named Instances

In SQL 2000 Clustering, can I have only one default instance for the entire
cluster or can I have one default per virtual server. In other words, can
all my SQL installs in a cluster be default, each on a different virtual
server?
1 Default or no default. Then you can have up to 15 named or all 16 can be
named

|||Each Instance gets its own virtual server. Due to SQL Instance naming
restrictions, you still only get one default instance per cluster.
Personally, I prefer to use only Named Instances on a cluster, just to keep
name appearances consistent.

Named instance, no default instance -> connection problems?

Hey,
I have the following problem with deployment of MSDE. Here's what I want
to do:
- I want to install MSDE in a named instance, even if it wasn't installed
before.
- I want to connect to the local server only, if possible with a
"generic" name, so I don't have to look up the system name
and stuff.
I can't really get this to work at all. I have connection strings that
work fine on development machines (where the default instance name is
used), using . for the server name. On the test machine, using
..\MYINSTANCE doesn't work at all. I read suggestions to use
(local)\MYINSTANCE instead of .\MYINSTANCE, but to no avail.
The funny thing is, even SYSTEMNAME\MYINSTANCE doesn't work unless there's
a default instance running on the same machine. Plus, it seems cumbersome
to have to find out the system's name for such a purpose.
Maybe I'm just seriously wrong about something... I didn't think it would
be that hard to set up a local (!, no networking enabled) database server
using the standard (!, they do say I'm to use a vendor-specific instance,
don't they?) setup procedure and connect to that.
Any ideas, please?

that's weird, becouse (local)\InstanceName shoul'd be fine..... ok, I'm
running a pc with a default instance and a named instance...
as regard the ComputerName part, remember you are trying to connect to a
service specified on the target pc...
you can always set an Alias via Client Network Utility, but this is not the
case... but building the connection string using something similar to Public
Declare Function GetComputerName Lib "kernel32" Alias "GetComputerNameA"
(ByVal lpBuffer As String, nSize As Long) As Long, appending the
"\YourInstanceName", in your preferred language, coul'd solve the problem
too...

server/instancename resolve back to servername/? We are looking to migrate
over from using a named instance, to a default instance, but don't want to

that have named instances attached.
If so, can someone point me in the direction to do so?Only from the clients connecting to it. You can install MDAC 2.6 or later
