Symptoms
Consider the following scenario:
-
You install SQL Server 2016 on your computer.
-
You use Transaction Log Shipping and configure SQL Server 2016 as the secondary.
In this scenario, when you start a LSCopy job on the secondary, you may encounter failure without an error logged.
If you edit the LSCopy job under SQL Server Agent on the secondary, copy and paste the full sqllogship.exe command in the command line and then press Enter, the .NET Framework 3.5 is listed as being required.
Note After you install the .NET Framework 3.5 and restart the server in this scenario, the LSCopy and LSRestore jobs run correctly.
