  1. Last week at work before vacation for the rest of the year. Need to build a couple of servers & log ship a couple, hopefully that's it.
  2. Been taking the day off while the last Log Shipped database is restoring across the WAN. It's about 15 hours into it.
  3. Zipping a 130GB backup so I can transfer it across the WAN for one of my last log shipping setups. Last 2 servers built, just need some DBs.
  4. Two of the four servers are successfully Log Shipped. Off to fix some SIDs on two more boxes so they can be Shipped as well.
  5. @RaOsolage SQL 2000 for 1 instance and SQL 2005 for the other 3. I'm not using any special tools, just SQL Server Log Shipping.
  6. Half way thru one of the four Log Shipped servers I have to be done by 12/4. A lot of databases on this one.
  7. Had to fix the SIDs before I could uninstall SQL. I created new groups in Windows & SQL and fixed the SIDs with... http://is.gd/59lmW
  8. @RaOsolage I've decided to rebuild all four instances and setup log shipping. I have a serious deadline for this product/app.
  9. We have mutliple DR servers that were P2V'd and the SIDs are screwed up for the localgroups (SQLServer2005MSSQLUser$, etc). Ideas?
  10. This is my normal Monday after on-call post. "It was one of the worst weeks of on-call yet."
  11. Copying data across the WAN for four different Log Shipping configs. I'm zipped up most of the full backups, but it's still slow.
  12. Working boat load of issues from On-Call. Enjoyable end of a working Thanksgiving Day.
  13. Syntax for SQL 2000 SKUUPGRADE is: From the X86\SETUP\ folder... "start setupsql SKUUPGRADE=1"
  14. Performing an SKUUPGRADE on a SQL Server 2000 box. Standard to Enterprise.
  15. Current issues... "Unable to load user-specified certificate" and "SQL Server could not spawn FRunCM thread" on SQL 2005 box.
  16. SQL won't start on a server I can't find. We have a lot of servers.
  17. An emergency log shipping setup is coming. 4 servers need to be configured with Log Shipping this week. Hopefully, the firewall is ready.
  18. On-call week again. It seems too soon.
  19. Been working the last four hours on a coordinated change with a high priority project. Hopefully, done until afternoon tomorrow.
  20. The Diff backup chain was corrupted by a "Backup with Snapshot" command from some process. I'm not sure what issued that command.
