Brink · Sep 24, 2017

Microsoft has heard from you, our customers, that your data estate gets bigger, more complicated, and more diverse every year. You need solutions that work across platforms, whether on-premises or in the cloud, and that meet your data workloads where they are. Embracing this choice, earlier today we announced the general availability of SQL Server 2017 on Linux, Windows, and Docker on October 2, 2017.

Today, Microsoft and Red Hat are delivering on choice by announcing the availability of Microsoft SQL Server 2017 on Red Hat Enterprise Linux, the world’s leading enterprise Linux platform. As Microsoft’s reference Linux platform for SQL Server, Red Hat Enterprise Linux extends the enterprise database and analytics capabilities of SQL Server by delivering it on the industry-leading platform for performance, security features, stability, reliability, and manageability.

Customers will be able to bring the performance and security features of SQL Server to Linux workloads. SQL Server 2017 on Red Hat Enterprise Linux delivers mission-critical OLTP database capabilities and enterprise data warehousing with in-memory technology across workloads. SQL Server 2017 embraces developers by delivering choice in language and platform, with container support that seamlessly facilitates DevOps scenarios. The new release of SQL Server delivers all of this, built-in. And, it runs wherever you want, whether in your datacenter, in Azure virtual machines, or in containers running on Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform!

Also starting October 2nd until June 30th, 2018, we are launching a SQL Server on Red Hat Enterprise Linux offer to help with upgrades and migrations. This offer provides up to 30% off SQL Server 2017 through an annual subscription.

windows 10 repeated update failures

Apparently, my problem with repeated upgrade failures has been resolved by a new windows upgrade successfully installed on 2/28/2017: "Important Update for SQL Server 2016 RTM (KB3210111)."

The original problem was failure ed to install daily from 2/15/2017 to 2/27/2017: "Critical Update for SQL Server 2016 MSVCRT Prerequisites KB3164398". This upgrade has not attempted to install since 2/27 and my PC is now up to date. I assume the 2/28/2017
upgrade was a fix for the problem.

I still have the event viewer failure to run problem. Can you help with that problem? I would appreciate the help.

Windows update stops SQL Server

Looks like it was these 2 updates ...

2017-05 Cumulative Update for Windows 10 Version 1607 for x64-based Systems (KB4019472)

Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool for Windows 8, 8.1, 10 and Windows Server 2012, 2012 R2, 2016 x64 Edition - May 2017 (KB890830)

The error message is fairly vague ...

"A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server. The server was not found or was not accessible. Verify that the instance name is correct and that
SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections. ...."
