I assume you have seen KB 241643, but have you tried the first
workaround "Change the job owner to a standard SQL Server user or system
administrator (sa)."? I have read this many times, and the second option
has never worked for me, so I go straight for option 1. I suspect there
may be other causes, perhaps network issues between SQL and the DC.

I saw the KB article and I couldn't make option 2 work either so that is
encouraging :-?
The DC and the SQL server are the same machine so comms shouldn't be an
issue.
I'll try creating a new backup plan under sa but could you tell me what a
"Standard Sql Server User " is?

A standard SQL Server user, or SQL (Server) login, is what you use as
opposed to and integrated or NT authentication login. This option is
only available if the server is set to Mixed Mode security.
sa is a SQL login, but BUILTIN\Administrators is a integrated login.
Make sense?

Could not find server '<server ip address here>' in sysservers.

Hi There,
I am planning on migrating databases from SQL 7 on a WIN2K box to SQL 2000 on a WIN 2003 box. Both are different domains. I have set up several databases to test and most work fine except for some .NET applications where I get this error spasmodically:
Could not find server '<server ip address here>' in sysservers. Execute sp_addlinkedserver to add the server to sysservers.
Im using the IP address of the server in the db connection string. In Master db > sysserver table the server name is VIVID01 and there is no mention of IP address.
Is there a reason why this error occurs only for some of the databases?
thanks - matt.
Can you show us which exact statement is failing? Are you trying to use the
4-part naming convention to connect from one server to another. In that
case, you will have to configure that other server as a linked server.

thanks - matt.|||The statement is:
SELECT * FROM OPENQUERY([<ipaddresshere>],'CCI.dbo.p_GetCMSGroupsByContentID "6918"') WHERE ID = 6
We have used the IP address instead of the server name.
This only fails when using the OPENQUERY statement. If I add a server using sp_addlinkedserver with the IP address specified it works.

Corruption Problem- need some advice

Hi all,
we have been using SQL7 for a number of years on a Win2K box without so much
as one hiccup. Recently went out bought a new HP Server and SQL2000.
Installed it all, moved all the databases - and everything seemed to be
working fine.
A couple of weeks ago we had a problem with our biggest database (about 1gb
in size). Users were getting some errors from the app that uses it. I did a
DBCC CHECKDB on that database and it was coming up with almost 1000
inconsistencies etc etc. Tried Repair, to no avail and in the end just had
to Restore form backup - lost about a half a days work - not critical for
us.
Spoke to a few DBA's who said that it sounded Hardware related. Spoke to our
local IT support who we got the HP's from and they did a quick look and
everything came up OK.
A couple of days ago the same problem occurred. At a loss to explain what is
happening, so I'm hoping a few of you may be able to help.
One thing I did notice was that Write Cache was set on the server to 50%
Read 50% Write. I have only now changed it to 100% and No Write caching.
Could the above have caused it (50% Read 50% Write), or is it more than
likely I could have further corruption ? We haven't , I believe, had any
power outages or system crashes leading up to these corruptions.
Any help you could give me would be greatly appreciated.
cheers,
Adam
Adam,
While it's quite possible that you are hitting some SQL bug which corrupts
your database, it is far more likely that you may have some hardware or
driver related problem on that server. I would advise you to install the
latest SQL hotfix and update all your firmware and drivers. If you have
enabled /PAE in BOOT.INI then apply the PAE fix Q838765. Also review your
event logs in detail for ANY hardware-related errors and warnings. Use
SQLIOSTRESS to try to flush out I/O problems.
Going to the latest SQL build (i.e. 1007 or higher) will fix all known SQL
corruption bugs, but also enable new SQL Server I/O auditing features, such
as detection for stale read and lost writes, and perform consistency checks
on all pages read from the disk. Check all your database for corruption
before applying the hotfix. Then enable trace flags -T818 and -T806.
Lastly, the following articles contain more information about SQL I/O
requirements and how hardware problems may lead to corruption.
