I came across a very wierd error when i was going for a in-place upgrade from SQL 2005 to SQL 2008. I had run the SQL Server upgrade Advisor to fix issues that needs to be taken care before the upgrade could take place.
I fixed the issues and then decided to do an upgrade. During the upgrade I came across an error - "Attributes do not match. Present attributes (Directory, Compressed, NotContentIndexed) , included attributes (0), excluded attributes (Archive, Compressed, Encrypted) "
To fix this kind of issue, it is important to note that the Microsoft SQL Server folder that is present in C:\program files of the server should neither be in compressed mode nor in archive mode.
If you come across this issue, please follow the below steps -
1> Check the folder "Microsoft SQL Server" in the path "C:\Program Files".
2> Right click on the Folder and select "Properties"
3> In the General Tab , there is an "Advanced" button.
4> Click on that button and see that the options "Folder is ready for archiving", "compress contents to save disk space" and "encrypt contents to secure data"are unchecked. If not, please uncheck it.
This shall resolve the issue with the SQL 2008 in-place upgrade.
