SQL Server Configuration Manager cannot connect to WMI

Sometime before I faced different kind of issue on one of staging SQL Server. I required to change the TCP port of an instance where multiple instance were running, I just open compmgmt.msc and connected SQLServer Configuration Manager, then I started receiving error : “Cannot connect to WMI provider. You do not have permission or the server is unreachable. Note that you can only manage SQL Server 2005 and later servers with SQL Server Configuration Manager. Invalid class [0x80041010], SQL Server Cannot Connect to WMI Provider permissions or server is unreachable.”

This may caused by an issue with the compiled SQL Configuration Manager GUI’s communication with WMI. If we have multiple instance running on SQL Server on a single windows server or we have un-installed any instances then this kind of issues we may face to connect.

Solution

1. At first start the command prompt

2. Then locate the path of SSCM shared instance based on version, we can get the path where shared tool as below

SQL 2008: C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\90\Shared\
SQL 2008 R2: C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\100\Shared\
SQL 2012: C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\110\Shared\
SQL 2014: C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\120\Shared\

3. Then run the below command from above location.

mofcomp sqlmgmproviderxpsp2up.mof

Now try to connect same again.

Hope you can connect.

Happy reading

How to encrypt and decrypt Table data in postgres

For encrypting and decrypting , we must use the bytea data type on the column which we implement. Bcoz bytea will use the pgcrypto method by default. However, you will need to create the pgcrypto extension to enable these functions as they are not pre-defined in PostgreSQL/PPAS. Example CREATE EXTENSION pgcrypto; CREATE TABLE userinfo (username varchar(20), password bytea); >> Inserting the data in an encrypted format INSERT INTO userinfo VALUES(' suman ',encrypt('111222','password','aes')); select * from userinfo ; >> Retrieving the data as decrypted format SELECT decrypt(password,decode('password','escape'::text),'aes'::text) FROM userinfo; Thanks for reading Plz dont forget to like Facebook Page.. https://www.facebook.com/pages/Sql-DBAcoin/523110684456757

Last week I got this error from one of developer who was trying to deploy his project from Testing server to SQL Azure QA server. He was using “Deploy Database to SQL Azure” option from SSMS Tool-Task option. After connecting to SQL Azure portal when operation started to deployment below errors occurs. Validation of the schema model for data package failed. Error SQL71562: Error validating element xx.xxx.xx:function .dbo.xxx has an unresolved refrence to object xx.dbo.xxxx external refrences are not supported when creating a package from this platform . Reason: The reason of the this error was; some functions of project was dependent on master database and only single database was being deploy to SQL Azure. DACFx must block Export when object definitions (views, procedures, etc.) contain external references, as Azure SQL Database does not allow cross-database external references So, this error was coming. Solution : I suggested him to create those function to locally
