Hi all.
I have an instance of SQL server that I have tried to inplace upgrade but failed.
Current version SQL server 2014 Ent.
Target version SQL server 2017 Ent.
The upgrade failed with lack of permission to update the permission of the backup destination.
<-------------------- OUTPUT FROM THE SETUP LOG ------------------------------->
Feature: Database Engine Services
Status: Failed
Reason for failure: An error occurred during the setup process of the feature.
Next Step: The upgrade process for SQL Server failed. To continue the upgrade process, use the following information to resolve the error. Next, uninstall SQL Server by using
this command line: setup /q /action=uninstall /instanceid=<INSTANCE_NAME_REMOVED> /features=FULLTEXT,SQLENGINE,REPLICATION. Then, run SQL Server Setup again.
Component name: SQL Server Database Engine Services Instance Features

The log tell us to fix the issue by uninstalling the SQL server instance. I would prefer an alternative if possible :)
I changed the backup destination to local folder and ran the upgrade wizzard again. Now it claims that it does not have anything to upgrade even though the SQL server instance has not been upgraded.
The server was rebooted before the second try.
Any good ideas of what to do ?
