Windows Server 2008 DHCPv6 Stateless and Stateful Mode

Windows Server® 2008 supports stateless and stateful DHCPv6 server functionality. DHCPv6 stateless mode clients use DHCPv6 to obtain network configuration parameters other than the IPv6 address, such as DNS server addresses. Clients configure an IPv6 address through a non-DHCPv6 based mechanism such as IPv6 address auto-configuration (based on the IPv6 prefixes included in router advertisements), or static IP address configuration.

In DHCPv6 stateful mode, clients acquire both the IPv6 address as well as other network configuration parameters through DHCPv6.

Fix “could not locate entry in sysdatabases” Error

Problem: I ran into this error when executing a script on a SQL database.  I could attach or deattach the database, and SQL Management Studio showed the database was fine.

Fix: it turns out the database has ‘-‘ in the name, e.g. database_2008-10-01.  Renaming the database by removing ‘-‘ fixed the problem.

Do not use ‘-‘ in SQL database name.
