Vista just finished one of its many updates. After restarting my computer I try connecting to SqlServer2008 instance with Sql Server Management Studio and I get this error:
Error connecting to '...\MSSQLSERVER2008'.
Additional information:
Login failed for user '...'. Reason: Server is in script upgrade mode. Only administrator can connect at this time. (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 18401).
Pressing help gets me to an internet page saying there's no additional information.
Thx Vista & Updates. Anyone an idea because on the internet I can't find anything about this issue.
It appears This Guy was having the same problems as you and his only suggestion was to wait a few minutes before trying to log in again.
I have yet to see any type of Microsoft documentation about this, nor have I seen any forum posts which came to any sort of resolution concerning the same problem.
Check your event viewer. I had the same problem and found that (in my case) it was looking for a directory that didn't exist to perform an upgrade script. NO hint that there was any sort of problem in the dialog, but the event viewer showed clearly what the problem was.

I had the same problem. Waiting until update was done did not help. Solution was, (after checking Windows eventlog) to set the folder rights. SQL-Express had no rights on the database folder, why ever. Something has mixed up the rights during the upgrade from WinXP to Win 7. That was it.
Adding a comment to this page since this is the top Google result for "script upgrade mode". It seems that a number of things can cause a SQL Server DB to go into this mode. In our shop we've run into these two cases in the past months:
Log shipping - Can't recall at what point of the process exactly the DB went into this mode, iirc it was when bringing it back up. The solution was just to wait it out.
Hard drive full - The DB went into this mode when it ran out of space. We're currently clearing up the drive, will come back with an update if waking it up turns out to be challenging.
Update: After freeing up disk space, it was a simple matter of setting the DB "Offline" and then "Online" to bring it back up.
We had the same issue, but needed to know what was going on in the background.
The db's were put into recovery mode, hence they had to recover. To assist we went to the SQL Server error log located where the system files (normally master, model, msdb...) are located, but under the log folder. In the ERRORLOG, we did a find on the word recovery and could watch the db's percentage recovered. Everything recovered normally, but it was much longer than expected.
The Reason for this is that the system reboot happens with important\necesssary softwares loaded and does all other operation later so that the booting happens faster.
Here in your case, the sql booting is happening as the start of SQL is not needed for system to start. I hope you are aware of DAC account(Dedicated Administrator Connection, Link) who has seperate connectivity and has ability to resolve issues even the whole SQL server is not responing. The SQL server is asking you either to wait or open the SQL with DAC account and stop the SQL update.
Solutions:
1) Wait until backround update completes
2) Open SQL using DAC account and kill all running processes

Running SSMS 18.6 causes the program to launch, hang, and then crash. There is no error message given, the program simply terminates before any action is taken and nothing is connected.
I've uninstalled and deleted all files for SSMS, Visual Studio, and SQL Complete.
I tried the 18.6 and 18.5.1 versions of SSMS to no avail.
From https://dba.stackexchange.com/questions/237086/sql-server-management-studio-18-wont-open-only-splash-screen-pops-up/237087#237087 :
I have tried copying the Interop.8.0.dll file from privateassemblies into public. No effect. The line in the config file mentioned here is already commented out in the recent release of SSMS.
From Sql Server Management Studio closes immediately after startup :
I have tried renaming or deleting the package file listed here and removed the relevant registry key. This causes SSMS not to open at all and Windows to issue an alert sound. No other effect.
From https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/silverlight/en-US/9d0e2459-eb74-46e8-a983-05ae2ba18977/ssms-crashes-on-startup?forum=sqltools :
I tried to repair .NET framework. No effect.
I was only able to install and successfully connect on SSMS version 17.9.1
I can provide Event Viewer details if anyone is willing to help me troubleshoot. I have a .NET Runtime error and two application errors- one is event name CLR20r3 and the other is APPCRASH. Happy to provide more information if needed.
While I can't speak to the exact reason it happened, I found a solution. Whatever the issue was, I discovered it was user specific and limited to my machine. Other users were able to access SSMS as normal on my machine as was I on theirs.
I happened to remember that the AppData folder exists and is just hidden, so I used an administrator account to copy that from a working user and rewrite the files in both of mine that were not used in some background process. This allowed me to once again access SSMS both as my regular user and with my elevated administrator account.
I had this same issue (it happened all of a sudden perhaps due to a windows update). I also tried all the other solutions listed above, but the only thing that worked for me was to uninstall and then reinstall version 7.9.1 like the original poster recommended.
In my case I only have 1 user on the computer, so the other user accounts being able to access was not applicable.

This is becoming insanely frustrating and completely random. We cannot work anymore on the SQL because any small action we do will lock SSMS and will force us to end task.
In the middle of the work a popup appears: "SSMS is waiting for an operation to complete. bla bla bla" with two options: SWITCH TO and CONTINUE WAITING.
None of them does anything, not clear which operation is it talking about.
This happens when trying to open a table, a view or even pasting into a query window. When typing the query manually it doesn't happen!
Ending task and reopening the SMSS will immediately result in the same.
We tried to:
Restart SQL server
Right clicking in the taskbar (Someone suggested that)
Using SSMS from another network computer
Running select * from sys.sysprocesses where blocked<>0. there were no results.
Because of point 3 we assume that the problem is not in the SSMS, but in the SQL instance?
Last time it was resolved by itself, the next time I connected after a day.
Please help, we wasted hours here.
Thanks
I think that ending task of RDPclip on the remote computer solved the issue.
I will see when this happens again if doing it resolving it.
I'm new to using SQL server and had queries saved in OneDrive. When I tried accessing them I got the same pop up and had to end the OneDrive task in task manager. I just save everything locally now.
I lately changed my virtual machine from a Virtual Box to Hyper-V because of better performance on Hyper-V. After I did this I cannot restore a database (2008R2 all environments, same version) from outside a test or production environment, and I could before. I request this error in my SQL log:
backupiorequest::reportioerror read failure on backup device. Operating system error 13 (failed to retrieve text for this error. Reason 15105)
I tried ofcause google, which tells me that Operating System error 13 is somekind of "permission failure". I tried to give the backup file full control for everyone, but seems not to make any difference.
I think it is a permission problem, im just stuck and dont know how to solve the problem, any suggestions?
I changed my virtual machine name from one thing to another, could it be the problem so my "rights" is right now assigned to oldName and not newName and if yes, where do I need to change those?
You can lookup error codes here, for example:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms681382(v=vs.85).aspx
As it states, error 13 (or 0x0D) is ERROR_INVALID_DATA, so chances are, your backup is corrupted.
You can try to copy it to different machine and restore there. Also, it wouldn't hurt to run restore verifyonly and restore headeronly against the backup.
I tried to look at the permission for the SQL database, it seems to be ok. Tried to move it back to the original server. Seems that something went in the transaction to the endpoint.
The SQL.bak. Tried to do it again got the same result. So something is going on when im transfer it to a shared drive and grabbing it from there :(
So the answer is that the header file is broken :(
Box was corrupt and was cleaned up and operational. Now, SQL Server will not connect to my db. I checked services and found that mssqlserver, SQL Server agents won't start. Gives error
Cannot connect to local server
They are set to automatically start, but manually starting gives the same error.
I cleaned his box with this recipe that I use successfully on dozens of computers. All other software is running fine. His box also had a failing disk so I xxcloned (XXClone.com) his disk to a fresh new disk. I believe the cleaning is an unrelated issue, but whatever it takes to fix it we are happy to try. I know many people with this SQL Server issue, and over the years have fixed it a few ways, but I am tight on time, so I suggested he get help here.
THOROUGH BADDY CLEAN. Clean a Windows Machine without Formatting it or losing Data
STEP 1
If Ransomware or some baddy is taking over our MBR or Partition so you cannot escape it, and cannot run safe mode, the ICE Ransomware being one of many examples.....
http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/virus-removal/remove-ice-cyber-crime-center-ransomware
use a empty USB stick and HitManPro (the free version will remove)
http://www.surfright.nl/en/hitmanpro/
STEP 2
Reboot in Safe mode with networking by rebooting and holding down F8 key. None of this will permanently fix your computer unless you are in SAFE MODE w/ NETWORKING
Download RKill and run it
Download ComboFix from BleepingComputer.org and run it
Download SmitFraudFix and run it
Download AntiMalwareBytes to catch everything those did not
I can clean any machine no matter how badly infected with these tools in safe mode. Will keep recurring if attempted in Normal Mode. Safe mode is the key.
I'm working on a Mavericks machine running a Windows 8.1 VM, trying to install an Oracle Database 12c. The installation runs fine up until it gets to the Database Configuration Assistant portion, where it immediately gives me the error mentioned above, "ORA-12560: TNS:protocol adapter error".
The database installer gives the option to skip a step, so I've tried doing so, and the database installation continues and completes. After it is completed, the Database Configuration Assistant is installed as an application. Running this application gives the same error immediately after setting some of the basic information (like database name, password, etc.).
I'm more or less brand new to Oracle databases, and I have no clue as to what this error might mean, or how to fix it. Does anybody have any idea as to why this error is appearing? I'm eager to provide any more information if it's needed, and would greatly appreciate any ideas or tips.
Thanks!
It seems to me that your oracle database is not up and running, this is a common issue for some first time users, what you need is to setup your database before anything else.
Try going to Control Panel, then Administrative Tools, then Services. Restart both OracleXETNSListener and the OracleServiceXE.
Or just go to start Start >> Run >> type "services.msc"
search for OracleXETNSListener and OracleServiceXE, right click then hit Start.
