SMS 2003 Beta 1 - Probleme beim Update von SQL-Servern

Vor kurzem begann der Betatest zum System Management Server 2003, der derzeit in der Beta 1 vorliegt. Anscheinend gibt es noch erhebliche Probleme beim Update von SQL-Servern, denn Microsoft geht recht ungewöhnliche Wege beim Betatest. In einer neuen Mail an die Tester, werden diese darum gebeten, die Updatefunktion für Datenbanken zu testen. Das Ergebnis soll dann per Mail an eine zuständige Person geschickt werden. Als Dankeschön kann man sich ein Microsoftprodukt seiner Wahl aus einer kleinen Gruppe aussuchen. Hier die Mail:

Dear Beta Tester,

Thank you for interest and participation in the Microsoft SMS 2003 beta program! We are pleased to offer you this opportunity to provide direct feedback to the SMS team so we can make SMS 2003 even better, and you could win some great Microsoft software in the process!. We would like feedback on a key functional enhancement to the product introduced since Beta 1 - the database `test` upgrade feature. We are offering free software selections for test results from copies of production SMS 2.0 or SMS 2003 Beta1 database upgrades.
· The first 25 participants to submit complete results (even successful upgrades) will receive one software title from group 1 below.
· The first person to find a unique issue during the contest period that is not already known will receive one software title of their choice from group 2 below.
· Anyone submitting a genuine issue during the contest period, but is not the first to report it will still be eligible for one user software title from group 1 below .
Again, thank you for participating in the Microsoft Systems Management Server 2003 Beta program. We hope you will participate in this bug contest and we look forward to your results.



Sincerely,

The Systems Management Server Team





How to run the test upgrade:



NOTE: Running Setup.exe /TestDBUpgrade is a destructive process. Do NOT run this test on a production SMS site database.

You can test a database upgrade using a copy of the SMS site database with the Setup /TestDBUpgrade switch. This procedure should be performed on a copy of your SMS 2.0 SP4, SMS 2.0 SP5 or SMS 2003 beta 1 database. The procedure is as follows:

Backup the production SMS site database.
On a test computer running the same version of SQL Server, restore the SMS site database. Note you do not need to install SMS on this test computer.
Copy the contents of the SMS 2003 Beta 2 CD to a local drive on the test computer.
>From the SMSSETUPBINI386 folder, run:

Setup.exe /TestDBUpgrade
The TestDBUpgrade command line option runs the SQL portion of the SMS 2003 upgrade process. The results of this test are indicative of how the production database would fare during upgrade to SMS 2003. Results are logged in smssetup.log, which is usually at the root of the C: drive.

How to submit your results:



Send e-mail to smsupgrd@microsoft.com with the following

The smssetup.log created from the test upgrade (as an attachment)
In the subject line, enter "Success" or "Failed" for the outcome of your test upgrade
In the mail body, include your contact information:
Name
Company Name
Phone Number
E-mail address.
