Anybody knows why I have MSSQL$SQLEXPRESS and SQLTELEMETRY$SQLEXPRESS folders in location C:\Windows\Users after installing SQL Server 17.9?
Is it a problem to delete both of them?
They are Service Accounts. They are essentially fake users that get their own user profile directories, which is why they exist in the User directory. You should keep them there (intact) if you plan on continuing to use SQL Server.
In my case, I was trying to migrate user profiles from an SSD to an SSHD data drive, leaving behind a Directory Junction/Symbolic Link. I found it incredibly frustrating that even after uninstalling all SQL Server stuff, these guys remained behind. That is a legitimate reason to get rid of them. You don't have to have mental issues to not want uninstall residue left over. And, I think it's okay to be concerned about potential conflicts down the road, and not wanting to assume that a reinstall will somehow catch it.
Here is how to remove them. (Again, only if not using SQL Server at all):
• Remove the services in a cmd window:
sc delete MSSQL$SQLExpress
sc delete SQLTELEMETRY$SQLEXPRESS
then
• Open services.msc and Stop the services (I can't remember what they're called, but they both start with SQL and have SQLEXPRESS in their name)
then
• Delete the directories. If doing it from a cmd window:
rd "c:\users\MSSQL$SQLExpress\" /s/q
rd "c:\users\SQLTELEMETRY$SQLEXPRESS\" /s/q

I have installed CouchDB on my Windows machine but while starting the CouchDB service, I am getting a message like:
Windows could not start the Apache CouchDB service on Local Computer. The service did not return an error. This could be an internal Windows error or an internal service error. If the problem persists, please contact your system administrator.
As the service is not running, I am unable to access Fauxton too.
I am using Windows 7. CouchDB is 2.0.0. Port 5984 is not in use.
I don't think your question is a duplicate of https://stackoverflow.com/a/44107335/219187 because you are on Windows 7, and the problem described there is for Windows 10 with the creators update.
But maybe the solution fixes your problem as well? Here is the procedure:
Download the prelease build 2.2.4-101 from https://nssm.cc/download
Stop the CouchDB service through the Windows Services dialog (paused is not enough)
Overwrite nssm.exe in <CouchDbInstallDir>\bin with the one from the downloaded ZIP file (make sure you pick the right version 32 bit / 64 bit)
Start the CouchDB service
Issue it's happening since the last updates released by Microsoft. I'm not completely aware of what's causing it, but I think it's something related to CouchDB service not been able to start using Local Administrator rights.
However I've managed to start the service manually, by doing so:
Open Command Prompt - in the Search from the Start Menu or Task Bar type "cmd"
Run it as an Administrator - right click on the Command Prompt application and choose "Run as administrator" option /this is really IMPORTANT as it will allow the service to have administrator access/
Navigate to the folder where CouchDB is install - default path is "D:/CouchDB", but could be anywhere else; you have to find it
Go to the "bin" folder in there
Type "couchdb" as a command to start the service
You will see a message showing after this - "kernel-poll not supported; "K" parameter ignored"
If it adds some error messages after it or closes the whole terminal, you're making some things bad from this guide, so follow it strictly.
You can now open up the Fauxton application in the browser like normal from here - http://localhost:5984/_utils/
Keep in mind that you have to leave the cmd opened in order the service to be working as expected. As far as I saw no information was lost, so it's all good.
This is a temporary solution though, as we are waiting a relase from either Microsoft or Apache to solve the issue, or at least give us more explanation about it.
i just met the same problem.
the cause is space, you have to install CouchDB in a path without any space, even Program Files folder, because there is a space between Program and Files...
We are having trouble with the Config Manager client randomly getting corrupted during installation on new computers. We are currently rebuilding our image, but in the meantime, we are implementing a short term solution where we simply completely uninstall Config Manager Client, remove the computer object from the Config Manager console, and then reinstall the client.
In an effort to reduce the "clicks" that our help desk techs would have to preform, I would like to write a simple script/batch/program/whatever to just do it in one fell swoop. My only holdup is that I don't know how to invoke Configuration Manager via the command line or Powershell and remove a computer from our Devices.
Is this even possible? I can't find any documentation from Microsoft.
Found my answer. There is a wealth of Configuration Manager cmdlets available. I simply used "CM-GetDevice" to find a device, and then "Remove-CMDevice" to remove it completely.

I have got a ssis package which runs when I manually run from Integration Services. But when I try to run it from a job. Then it runs but no data is seen in the data. There seems to be some permission issue. Can somebody tell me what permissions are required for running a package from a SQL Server Job?
State the error message.
If you are using a flat file connection manager, and that's where the error is occurring, click 'start' then 'computer' then check to make sure you are mapped to that drive. If not, click the tab upper right corner to map to the drive then when you access the file through SSIS you shouldn't have an error.
If the package runs successfully as a job using the SQL Server Agent then you have the permissions set right for the database side.
However make sure if you are accessing any external data such as flat files that the agent is able to access these locations. You may have permissions on your Windows account to access the locations when you run the package in Visual Studio but the agent service running the job requires those permissions too.
If this is not the case can you clarify what your package does and any messages you receive from the catalog reports so I can help further.
I've made VB.NET application in VS2010 that uses a 2007 Access database, called MenuDB.mdb. During development, everything was fine.
Now that I'm publishing it, I'm getting weird errors because for some reason the app isn't connecting to the database.
I install the application and run it but as soon as it opens it gives this error:
System.Data.OleDb.OleDbException (0x80004005): Could not find file
'C:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Local\Apps\2.0\Data\OV86PXJA.K3R\8575R5AY.95Z\menu..tion_0d4fa454d69e8e6b_0001.0000_8340d263807cbb71\Data\MenuDB.accdb'.
I know the problem has to do with the way I'm relating the application to the database, but I don't know which way is right. In Solution Explorer I changed the Build Type of MenuDB.accdb to "Content" (earlier it was embedded resource". But it doesn't work either way. In my App.config I have the following connection string:
connectionString="Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Data Source=|DataDirectory|\MenuDB.accdb"
I want that when I deploy the application, the database should just sit in the application folder, wherever it gets installed. How can I do that?
Edit
I don't mind deploying it in such a way that I need to paste the database somewhere myself on the target machine - as long as it works.
If you have multiple users using the same or similar database, and dont have access to a SQL server (MySQL, MSSQL, or others), then co-locate the database at a central location (preferably network location) that all the users will have access to and change the connection string to accomidate the database location being on the network.
Just let it be known, Access can handle up to 10users when doing simple data retrieval/submission but if you ever have it open while others are accessing via data objects, then you may lock them out.
I have an SSIS package that transfers some tables to CSV files on a network drive; it runs fine from my computer manually. I store it on the server in the MSDB database and execute it from there and it runs fine, but when I create a job that has one step that runs the SSIS package from MSDB it fails saying it can't find the CSV file name.
I spent all day yesterday figuring out this means a permissions issue with whatever logon credentials are being used through the job. The job owner shows to be domain/myuserid and step properties show they are using windows authentication with my username. The problem is, I know I have access to this folder.
The first line of the error log says: "Executed as user: servername\SYSTEM". So I made sure user "SYSTEM" has access to the network folder I want to load the files on, but I still get the same error.
The command line looks like #command=N'/SQL "\SSIS package name" /SERVER servername /CHECKPOINTING OFF /REPORTING E'
edit: I found SQL Server agent job account issue where someone asks who the job is run under and marc_s says "I can't seem to find any definitive answers on that one, really. Since my Jobs typically select and update stuff in the database, I am lead to assume that the "Owner" account will be used by default, unless you specify some other account on a given step"
Which also leads me to believe it is using my logon information that has access
The best practice that we've been able to come up with here is to make a domain account for SSIS and then set up a Proxy in SQL Server that is used to run the SSIS Package in a SQL Job.
I would say that the servername\SYSTEM account is a local account, and therefore won't have access to network folders on other servers.
You probably want to run this as a domain account of some sort, which does have access.
Typically this will be the SQL Server Agent, so check in the Services list, in the control panel, and see what account is running the agent, and if necessary change it to the appropriate account.
This may have knock on consequences though, so be careful what other jobs are running.
