    Printing Garbage

    Just for the record, I've toggled the "No Printer" setting on the report itself.

    Printing Garbage

    That's what I thought I'd try next as well, but no luck. I checked and the report uses Times Ne Roman as the font and I verified that both the workstation the works and the workstation that does not are using the same version of this font. I also loaded all the fonts from the ws that works to...

    Printing Garbage

    The printer is shared from a server (not where the CR reports are created). I have deleted and re-added the printer on both the workstations on which this works and on the ones that it doesn't (I think that reloads the driver). Result is: no change. The workstations that previously worked...

    Printing Garbage

    Hello All, I'm hoping someone can help me out... We are using CR8.5, we view reports through the Activex viewer on our intranet. Some workstations are unable to print the reports (through the viewer) to a specific printer (Sharp). For others it works fine. The problem is that the reports...

    Backup Software upgrade Ideas?

    Hello All, we have been using Backup Exec 8.5 for years, but have now decided that we would like to backup directly to a file and ship it electronically to our backup hotsite. It is my understanding that 8.5 does not have this option and that we would need to upgrade, probably to 10d. I figure...

    restoring a db to a drive w/t diff size sectors

    I think what I meant was SQL 2000 not win server 2k3, since the os does not appear to have any problems with it, I can format it and I can save data to it.

    restoring a db to a drive w/t diff size sectors

    I updated the Driver, firmware, and bios of the controller card. I was able to restore the db to a RAID 5 partition built with 3 drives to a size of 1TB. Subsequently I rebuilt the system with the full 8 drive RAID 6 (3TB) partition and I had the same error come up when I tried to restore...

    restoring a db to a drive w/t diff size sectors

    Ok got it to work, kind off... First a little background hardware I'm using: RAID Controller - ARC-1220 - Firmware - V1.36 2005-5-18 Drives - ST3500641AS (500GB Seagate Barracuda) I found that I could get it to restore (with or without the BLOCKSIZE command) if I put the data on a RAID 0...

    restoring a db to a drive w/t diff size sectors

    No change, same error message.

    restoring a db to a drive w/t diff size sectors

    I think I may be going down the wrong path. I checked (using the chkdsk command) the allocation unit size on the target server and it is 4096 for both the c: drive, to which I successfully restored, and the e: drive where its failing. The souce server has and allocation unit size of 4096 for...

    restoring a db to a drive w/t diff size sectors

    Nope, tried breaking off a 300gb and then a 68gb partition, but I still get the same error when I try to run the restore command. any comments/suggestions are welcome...

    restoring a db to a drive w/t diff size sectors

    I set them both to raid 5, still failing. I'm going to try to break out a 300gb partition and see if that make a difference.

    restoring a db to a drive w/t diff size sectors

    Hey MrDenny, thanks for the help, but nothing seems to work I tried both suggestions. While the backup file generates, the restore command gives me the same error regardless if I use the "with blocksize = 4096" or not. I'm kind of stumped. You think this could have someting to do with the...

    restoring a db to a drive w/t diff size sectors

    Ok, I was able to run the above command by first deleting the original .bak file. BUT, I continue to get the original error even if I use the file created with the above command (i.e.: WITH BLOCKSIZE = 4096). Anyone out there? Mrdenny, how about a little more canadian humor?

    restoring a db to a drive w/t diff size sectors

    Just for the record, when I run on the source server: BACKUP DATABASE DatabaseName TO DatabaseName_backup WITH BLOCKSIZE = 4096 I get: Server: Msg 3268, Level 16, State 1, Line 1 Cannot use the backup file 'DatabaseName_backup' because it was originally formatted with sector size 512 and is...

    restoring a db to a drive w/t diff size sectors

    Well, its getting wierder... I checked the drive specs and both servers are at 512k. I re-formated the drive on the target server and set the "allocation unit size" to 512k. Still having the same error. What am I missing?

    restoring a db to a drive w/t diff size sectors

    when I try to restore adb to a different server that has a RAID drive with different size sectors I get the following error: Server: Msg 3269, Level 16, State 1, Line 1 Cannot restore the file 'Database_log' because it was originally written with sector size 512; 'e:\mssql\data\Database.ldf' is...

    trouble with DCPromo

    that is correct, and it did infact solve my problem

    trouble with DCPromo

    figured it out, win2k3 server R2 has an updated adprep on the second disk under cmpnents/r2/adprep. Running this upgraded AD to version 31. I will now try to add the new DC.

    trouble with DCPromo

    maybe that's it, they are all SP1 but the new one I'm trying to add is R2. Would that cause a problem with AD? In the meantime I'm getting both existing DC up to date on patches (4 missing)
