I am on Windows Server 2012 R with a SQL Server 2012 version.
I am currently locked of my SA account and I am trying to find answers on how I can unlock
it.
Quickly, do I have to be in Single Mode in order to reset it.
Thanks

SQL Server 2012 SSIS :environment properties sensitive check box is not showing
New to SSIS and when following through coursework I find that the sensitive check box is missing when I clicking on the Variables tab of the Environment Properties.
I first suspected that this was a display problem so changed the display down to 1024x768 but still nothing. The is just a long blank space.
It's driving me mad. If anyone has seen this before and can let me know what it is I would really appreciate it.

SQL Db size monitor and notify
Hi All,
I am looking for a way of monitoring Db size within SQL Express 2008 R2 and SQL Express 2012.
We just had an indecent where a client exceed 10GB over night and took their system down and no one knew it was happening. I need to avoid this going forward.
Ideally it would email notify me when reaching a couple of Gb shy of the limits.
Thanks.

Spiceworks SQLite into SQL Server via SSIS
We are working on a huge IT reconcile project. To do this we are pulling data from all the cloud applications we use, AD, Spiceworks, etc and then using this data to ensure that when an employee is separated from employment, that we have a good idea of the assets they were responsible for and the permissions\access they had on our cloud apps.
We are pretty much solely a MS shop, so SQL Server is the database server that I am using. I have been working with SSIS to pull in other data that we need and would like to do the same thing with the data from Spiceworks.
I took a backup of Spiceworks' SQLite dbs and am able to connect to them via ODBC, and I can see columns and such, but I run into a bunch of truncation issues when trying to do just a simple import via SSIS. Apparently there is a mismatch between the schema in SQLite and MSSQL's...

SQL 2012 Restore Performance with a Filestream enabled dB
Hi,
We have a test SQL 2012 Standard environment that we are performing test restorations to. A standard 300GB SQL dB will restore in around 55 mins, but a 750GB Filestream enabled dB takes nearly 10 days. This filestream enabled dB has around 2.2 million files associated with it (2 million of them being 1MB or below) Anyone else encountered very slow restore performance on a FileStream enabled SQL dB?
The SQL Server is a Hyper-V VM, 4 x CPU, 16GB RAM, RAID10

SQL Server 2016 Global Availability: June 1st, 2016
The Data Platform team at Microsoft announced this morning that SQL Server 2016 will be globally available on June 1st, 2016.
Read the announcement here: https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/dataplatforminsider/2016/05/02/get-ready-sql-server-2016-coming-...
Learn which new features are supported in each of the editions of SQL Server 2016 here: http://download.microsoft.com/download/8/A/2/8A2BC8C5-BBA0-4A9C-90BC-AC957D3454D9/SQL_Server_2016_Ed...
Important update: I have it directly from the SQL Server team that there is a mistake in the doc on the features available in each edition of SQL Server. It shows Query Store as being in Enterprise Edition but not in Standard Edition. However, Query Store is available in all editions of SQL Server 2016. They are working on correcting the docs.

Issue with SQL Server 2000
I have a program that uses SQL Server 2000 Database. That program is installed on a Windows 8 machine and it asks for the server name, database name, username and password. Now when I try to use this program on Windows XP, it seems to work with just using the server name and the database name. When I try on Windows 7, 8, or 10, it won't let me use the program without a username and password. It comes back as "incorrect username and password". So I'm wondering if there's a setting on sql server 2000 that I need to set in order for it not to ask for username and password on Windows 7, 8 or 10. I've tried entering a super admin's credentials but it doesn't work. I've also tried creating a new user specifically to manage that database and then tried entering that and it still won't take it.
Thanks!

SQL stored procedure and a CSV
Hello all,
I have a stored procedure that I need to run against my DB to close open tickets. The way the stored procedure works is it closes open tickets by the i_ticket_id. There are currently 350 tickets open and it would be a pain to close all manually. So I was hoping there is a way that if I have all the ticket id's in a CSV that I would be able to run the stored procedure and that it would close each ticket.
Here is how I cal the procedure to close a single ticket
sp_closeticket '-ticketid-'
TIA

Shrink DB Log
I never claim to be a DBA but I've had to take on some of the DBA type work since our DBA left. In SQL 2008 I have a DB with a very large transaction log that out backup system for some reason one clean up. Am i reading this right?
so the log allocated space 61536.69 MB then it says available space 60250.78 MB (97%) ... im thinking if i released the unused space it will clean up 97% of it so the log therefore it will shrink the log down quite a bit.

Switching From Access to SQL Server
I have a database that is currently housed on an internal server and can only be accessed while connected directly to the network via Access or Access Runtime. In order to improve functionality and availability, we are looking at migrating it to our SQL Server that has not been used in a while. I am new to SQL with very minimal information about it. Where do I go, or where do I start about learning SQL Server 2008 R2 and how to migrate my database up to it?

Troubleshooting SQL Server 2008 R2 merge replication
Hi All, I am running a merge replication with 1 publisher and 2 subscribers. Am using the publisher server for same as distributor server.
I successfully configured the publisher and 1 subscriber and data is being transmitted across.
I am having trouble with second subscriber. The synchronization process never completes for the data to start getting transmitted yet I have everything right according to my understanding. I have tried recreating the subscription but still I get the same errors. From the replication monitor errors start appearing when bulk copying of table "tblLPMaster" starts. Below are the error messages I have been getting.
Error messages:
The merge process was unable to deliver the snapshot to the Subscriber. If using Web synchronization, the merge process may have been unable to create or write to the message...

SSAS anonymous authentication
I'm trying to configure anonymous access to SSAS accross domains.
I've got a SQL Server running SSAS and then a development server with access to database server.
I would like a user that doesn't have access to SQL server box to be able to open Excel spreadsheets that connect to the SSAS server.
So they can browse the data. I've found that the user on the development server also has to be the exact same user name and password on the SQL server.
This might not be the worst solution I was just wondering if anyone knew about a better way.
On another note being a bit of an SSAS newb what is the best way to expose a data cube on the web?
Any good resources for this would be very helpful.
If the user doesn't have credentials on the SSAS server I get below error. "Either you don't have permissions or DB does not exists".
Please help!!

SQL Server access to UNC path
Hey all,
We've to decided to move all of our SQL databases to an SQL Cluster with a file server. This because we've had a few issues with sql server failures causing the databases to become unavailable.
However, I am unable to attach or restore the databases on the new SQL cluster, either through the GUI or with queries. It keeps giving me access denied errors.
What we have already tried:
- Running the SQL instance with a domain service account
- Giving the service account implicit full NTFS access
Giving the service account explicit full NTFS access
Giving the service account implicit full share access
Giving the sql cluster computer accounts implicit full NTFS access
Giving the sql cluster computer accounts explicit full NTFS access
Giving the sql cluster computer accounts implicit full share access
Doing all of the above...
