I ran Sql Server Discovery report from Installation Center, and this is what i got :
Does this indicate a correct Sql server installation ?
I'm am assuming you want the db. You do not have the Database Engine installed. You can find more info about each of the SQL Server components here.

I had an SQL Server 2012 database instance installed on server A.
I then installed SSRS 2016 only (not the the complete SQL Server 2016) on server B but pointed the SSRS instance to host its ReportServer database on the SQL Server 2012 instance installed on server A.
At this point all worked well.
I then had a requirement to upgrade SSRS 2016 to SSRS 2017.
I used the Microsoft SQL Server 2017 Reporting Services stand alone installer from https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=55252
In SSRS 2017 configuration manager, i selected to use an existing database and pointed to ReportServer database i have in the SQL Server 2012 instance i have on Server A.
In SSRS 2017 configuration manager, i have deleted all encrypted data.
I can browse to the reports web portal url, see data sources and the deployed test report files but when i try to open a report, i get the error blow.
The version of the report server database is either in a format that is not valid, or it cannot be read. The found version is '2017'. The expected version is '173'. (rsInvalidReportServerDatabase)
i have tried to run delete from ReportServer.dbo.ServerUpgradeHistory where ServerVersion = 173 but i still get the same error.
Looks like the old version value is still being stored somehwere in a config file.
Where else should i look, what else should i try?
I resolved the issue by
1- Taking backup of ReportServer databases, then deleting them
2- stopping all report services' windows services. Made them Manual startup.
3- Opened the Reporting Services Configuration form Start Menu > SQL Server {Version}
4- Starting the service from the Configuration application
5- Recreating database from Database tab
Solution is to upgrade SQL Server 2016 to Service Pack 2: SQLServer2016SP2-KB4052908-x64-ENU
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=56836
The least intrusive solution I found was this:
USE [ReportServer]
DELETE FROM ServerUpgradeHistory WHERE ServerVersion > 173

I've downloaded SQL Server 2016 standard edition trial along with SSDT in order to test what one can do with a standard edition in SSIS, SSRS, and SSAS.
I also wanted to know whether standard version's SSISDB logging capabilities differs from the one in Enterprise. For this I wanted to create an SSISDB catalog under Integration Services Catalogs in SSMS.
When I try to do this, however, I get the error saying that
The catalog backup file 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\130\DTS\binn\SSISDBBackup.bak could not be accessed. Make sure the database file exists, and the SQL server service account is able to access it
From googling this issue it appears as this message shows up whenever someone doesn't have SSIS installed, but I have SSIS on the machine, I've even made a small Project and executed it from within SSIS without any issues just to verify.
I have set this up on localhost where I am the admin. Does anyone have any ideas why this won't work?

To check if SSIS installed, open Sql Server Configuration Manager, in the SQL Server Services, is something like 'SQL Server Integration Services 13.0' running?
Experienced this error message on MS SQL Server 2017.
Resolved by launching MS SQL Server 2017 install media, added Integration Services feature.
After successful installation, when back into SSMS, right-click on Integration Services Catalog for Create Catalog... option.
You will be asked for an encryption password to create the new SSISDB.
Hope this helps!
I faced with this error when I used lower version of SSMS than SSIS. Check if you use proper version of SQL Management Studio.
You need to go back to the SQL Server installation and check the integration services checkbox.
The issue is because SQL Integration services is not installed properly with the existing SQL Server you are using.
you can check if SQL Integration services are installed or not by,
Opening --> SQL Server Configuration Manager--> SQL Server Services --> Check if "SQL Server Integeration Services is there"
if its there and if you still get the same issue try re-installing.
Else install the SQL Integration services to your existing SQL Server.
The detailed step to installation is given in this link : https://www.mssqltips.com/sqlservertip/6635/install-ssis/
hope this helps !!
I have a very fundamental and basic SQL question. Using Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio Express, how do I create my first Server? For that matter, how would I create it using any other required software tool?
I took a look at Sql Server Configuration Manager and I saw SQLEPRESS running as a SQL Server. But when I added that in to the start up widow for MSSM Studio Express, as the server name, it threw an error saying it cannot be found or does not exist. It seems that this is not the right kind of server.
To connect to the local instance of SQLEXPRESS, you will need localhost as the server name.
This is a fairly comprehensive guide on how to create a database once you have connected. All the steps won't apply to using SQL Express, but the gist of it is there.
In Object Explorer, connect to an instance of the SQL Server Database
Engine and then expand that instance.
Right-click Databases, and then
click New Database. In New Database, enter a database name.
To create
the database by accepting all default values, click OK; otherwise,
continue with the following optional steps.
Based on this comment:
Trying .\SQLEXPRESS in SQL Server Management Studio Express throws an error that says that "This version of Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio Express can only be used to connect to SQL Server 2005 servers". So this is the problem, I think.
.\SQLEXPRESS is the correct server name, but you have the wrong version of client tools (SQL Server Management Studio). To find out the version of SQL you are connecting to, there are a number of suggestions here: https://www.mssqltips.com/sqlservertip/1140/how-to-tell-what-sql-server-version-you-are-running/
But since you can't connect yet the easiest thing to do is go searching for sqlserver.exe, right click, properties, version. If you have multiple version you need take note of the folder that it's in and check the SQLExpress one. You can also check in services.
Once you've worked out the version, download and install just the management tools for that version.
I'm trying to move my databases to a newer Azure subscription. I used to simply click "Deploy to Azure" on a local database from SSMS and have it deployed to a specified Azure server. Importing/Exporting a BACPAC file also works. However, I can't seem to do any of this on the new server. I keep getting the error:
"The service objective 'Web' specified is invalid."
Googling around, I found this thread explaining the need to update the CREATE DATABASE template to accommodate Azure Databases (Azure upgrade, I'm guessing). However, the hotfix provided is specifically for SQL Server 2014 and I'm using SQL Server 2012. I checked other cumulative updates for 2012 here but found no fix for the issue.
Is there any other way I can fix this without having to upgrade to 2014?
Just to summarize my software versions:
SQL Server 2012
SQL Management Studio 11.0.2100.60
Local database: SQL Server 10.50.16000
Old Azure server: SQL Server 11.0.9230
New Azure server: SQL Server 13.0.15
You are getting this error because the latest V12 servers are not supporting the Web and Business Editions anymore. If you don't want to upgrade to SSMS 2014, you can create a V11 server and import your DB on this server. However this is only a temporary solution as Web and Business edition databases will be retired in September. At this point you will have to work with the latest tools to avoid this problem.
There is a Hotfix for it you can download and install on your machine. Please navigate to:
https://support.microsoft.com/en-gb/kb/2936603
You need to enter your email then download link will be sent to your email address. Then install it on your machine and you can see the following options:
Install the database as a Data Project into Visual Studio,
Set the target framework in the properties window to SQL Azure,
Build the project and resolve any unsupported issues.
Publish to your azure site.
I have tried the above and did not work for me - this solution worked!
I have sql server 2000, 2005 exress, 2005, 2008 installed on my machine i installed on my own so there is no truble form me to know which on is on which version. However i am finding it difficult when i browse verious installation on others machine which i have not installed.
Can some one please help me regarding how to identify the instances on local machine and what version they are on.
Thanks
I'm not sure whether this is what you're asking for, but if you can connect to the instance, you can run the query:
SELECT ##VERSION
which should give you the information you require.
You can use the SQL Server Configuration Manager - it shows you information about the services for all local instances. Go to Start > SQL Server 2008 > Configuration Tools > SQL Server Configuration Manager
