SQL Server Logs are Full

In SQL Server 2012R2 I found that my Log files were always getting so big that they would fill the L drive. So I wrote a script that will Truncate all the Log files. You can also do this on each individual database by right clicking, select Shrink, then Files. Click OK. See below for more details.

Also Check this URL: What is the command to truncate a SQL Server log file? - Stack Overflow

In management studio:

  • Don't do this on a live environment, but to ensure you shrink your dev db as much as you can:
    • Right-click the database, choose Properties then Options
    • Make sure "Recovery model" is set to "Simple" not "Full"
    • Click OK
  • Right-click the database again, choose Tasks -> Shrink -> Files
  • Change file type to "Log"
  • Click OK.

Alternatively, the SQL to do it:

USE DatabaseName
ALTER
DATABASE DatabaseName SET RECOVERY SIMPLE
DBCC SHRINKFILE (DatabaseName_Log, 1)
ALTER DATABASE DatabaseName SET 
RECOVERY FULL

Your system administrator does not allow the use of saved credentials to log on to the remote computer

From here: https://serverfault.com/questions/396722/your-system-administrator-does-not-allow-the-use-of-saved-credentials-to-log-on

If you don't want to change local or server side GPOs:

Go to Control Panel -> Credential Manager on the local computer you are trying to connect from.
You will see three sections:

  1. Windows Credentials
  2. Certificate-Based Credentials
  3. Generic Credentials

Remove the credentials from Windows Credentials and add it to Generic Credentials.

Why can't Excel open a file when run from task scheduler?

From here: https://superuser.com/questions/579900/why-cant-excel-open-a-file-when-run-from-task-scheduler

1. Open Component Services (Start -> Run, type in dcomcnfg)
2. Drill down to Component Services -> Computers -> My Computer and click on DCOM Config
3. Right-click on Microsoft Excel Application and choose Properties
4. In the Identity tab select This User and enter the ID and password of an interactive user account (domain or local) and click Ok
Keeping it as the interactive user or the launching doesn't work with the task scheduler unfortunately, even when setting the task up to run under an account that has admin access to the machine.

Error Running MS Access Macro from Task Scheduler

Question and solution here: https://superuser.com/questions/402070/run-task-scheduler-task-on-demand-from-limited-user-account-in-windows-7

Go to C:\Windows\System32\Tasks find the related task and assign "read and execute" rights to the user you want to be able to access it. Be sure to assign to "current object only." Then the task will be visible and runnable from the limited user, and it will work if you saved your credentials in it and checked "run whether user is logged on or not."
