Unable to initialize the Shared Memory listener. Access is denied

SQL Server failed to start 

Run SQL Server from command line and shows this error: Unable to initialize the Shared Memory listener. Access is denied

Cause: When the SQL Server starts it tries to open listening named-pipes to accept client share memory or named-pipe connections. If the listening named-pipes are not closed properly during the last shutdown of SQL Server (maybe after a forced kill of the SQL Server process), there will be orphan named-pipe handles in the windows kernel file system.
To solve this issue, a quick solution will be to reboot the host machine.

SSRS issue on SQL Server 2012 SP3 -The version of the report server database is either in a format that is not valid, or it cannot be read

When windows update pushed SQL Server 2012 SP3 to the database server on the weekend, we received an error on SSRS: "The version of the report server database is either in a format that is not valid, or it cannot be read." I googled around and found this post on TechNet: https://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/32360.sspr-troubleshooting-the-version-of-the-report-server-database-is-either-in-a-format-that-is-not-valid-or-it-cannot-be-read.aspx I was surprised that a major SP would contain such an issue as most IT shops won't bother with the many CUs and choose to stay with SPs. The fix is upgrade to SP3 CU6 for us. Microsoft recommends to go with the latest CU, which is CU9. List of SQL Server Versions for reference:  http://sqlserverbuilds.blogspot.ca/
