PRSQL9012024: Upgrading on a Server with No Monitor ID Number: Q67624

1.00 1.10 OS/2 buglist1.10 fixlist1.10a

Summary:

PROBLEM ID: PRSQL9012024

SYMPTOMS When upgrading to SQL Server version 1.1 on a Headless server, the system appears to hang.

CAUSE The installation process attempts to display a screen that asks if it should upgrade from version 1.0, or if it should upgrade from the NDK (Network Development Kit). Because the server has no monitor attached to it, the user is unaware that a response is being requested; therefore, the system waits indefinitely for a response.

RESOLUTION Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in SQL Server version 1.1. This problem was corrected in the SQL Server version 1.1 Update, which is available from your support provider (Microsoft or your network specialist).
