PRSQL9012024: Upgrading on a Server with No Monitor

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).
