Upgrade advisor reports strange errors

  • I've run SQL Server 2005 Upgrade Advisor on a couple of SQL Server 2000 boxes in my company and it reports errors like Requested registry access not allowed to  FTUNSIGNEDCOMPONENTS or FTCOMPONENTREG. In other server I get a slightly different message on the same components: Attempted to perform an unauthorized operation.

    Any ideas on what are these errors about? Is it something I should worry about?

    TIA

     

  • It sounds like a permission problem with the user account that you are using to run the Upgrade Wizard .

  • I'm using an SQL Server login that belongs to sysadmin group

  • But what Windows user are you logged in as when you run the program?  It sounds like there are issues with reading the registry and I am wondering if the program is using the Windows account that you are logged in as to read the registry.  Since that Windows users might not have enough rights to read the registry, you are seeing these errors.

  • I'm running the program remotely, logging in to the server using a SQL server security with a user that belongs to the sysadmin fixed role. I've checked the documentation for the product and it says it's possible to run the tool from a different computer, and it doesn't point out any restriction on doing it that way...

    Thank you,
