Symptoms
Assume that you set the AUTOGROW_ALL_FILES property to a filegroup for a database in Microsoft SQL Server 2016, and the filegroup doesn't have the property set. In this situation, you receive the following error message:
Msg 5045, Level 16, State 3, Line 1The filegroup already has the 'AUTOGROW_ALL_FILES' property set.
Another issue is that when you set the AUTOGROW_ALL_FILES or READ_ONLY property to a filegroup, the property isn't preserved after the database or the server restarts. The sys.filegroups viewstill shows that the corresponding column for the property (is_autogrow_all_files and is_read_only) is set to 1. However, it's not actually effective.
Resolution
The issue was first fixed in the following cumulative update of SQL Server:
After you apply the fix, you should set the corresponding property again to make it effective.
Each new cumulative update for SQL Server contains all the hotfixes and all the security fixes that were included with the previous cumulative update. We recommend that you download and install the latest cumulative updates for SQL Server:
