SQL 2005 keeps rebooting

Troubleshooter24 — Mon, 30 Aug 2010 13:59:44 +0000

My SQL 2005 server keeps rebooting. I can not figure out why. I get an NT SUbsystem message and then a 30 second countdown. This happens 20-40 times in a day. How can I fix it? I can not even run a virus scan to completion. Windows server 2008 SQL 2005. McAfee 8.7.1.

Local clients loose connection to local SQL Server when system network drops connection to HQ.

TomHelm — Thu, 18 Mar 2010 21:14:24 +0000

When line to primary Domain controller is dropped, some of the current logged on clients are dropped by SQL when they try to access the database. For some clients, the application still works just fine.

The clients are all set up and authenticated in the local Domain Controller. It is my thought that the authentication by the local domain controller should not be affected by dropping the network connection to the HQ Primary Domain Controller. Our VB/SQL application is set for Windows authentication and works fine in that mode. Until we drop the line to HQ.

One clue I had is that both the SQL Server and the Domain Controller (active directory) are on the same Server. We moved the SQL Server to another Server, not the one with the Active Directory on it. Again, while the network is up, everyone can connect, but when we bring down the network, some users could connect to the SQL Server database and others received an error:

Error Message:

Problem in mdlFindServer.FillTable: Trying to read UpdateHistory.

ex = System.Data.SQLClient.SqlException: Timeout expired. The timeout period dlapsed prior to completion of the operation or the server is not responding.

Any help will be appreciated. Please and Thank you.

Failover issues in a SQL Server 2005 mirrored database

SQL Server Ask the Experts — Thu, 25 Jun 2009 16:23:37 +0000

I have a SQL Server 2005 mirrored database with a witness. Everything seems to be working OK but I am having problems in the instance a failover occurs. Once the primary server goes down, my access to the database continues normally once both servers are back up and running and the old mirror is left as the primary.

I’m using Microsoft Access through system DSN Native Client with my mirror server referenced in the DSN. The DSN passes the test for the connections. My issue is that if one of the servers goes down, I lose connection to the database. My understanding is that the connection should keep on working seamlessly. Is this correct? If not, any thoughts as to why I am having this issue?
