How to configure USER CAL on SQL server 2008

how to configure or Add User CAL on SQL server 2008?
pls let me know the process

Hello,
There is no CAL management in SQL Server, you have the licenses only "on paper".

How to Configure Remote Connections To SQL Server 2008 R2 Express

Post written June 10, 2010 and pertains to:
SQL Server 2008 R2 Express on both my server and local machines: SQLX_SRV,
SQLX_LOC
SQL Server 2008 R2 Management Studio on both my server and local machines:
MS_SRV, MS_LOC
Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise installed on a Hyper-V VPS: WS
SQL Server Configuration Manager on both my server and local machines:
CMGR_SRV, CMGR_LOC
Server Manager: SMGR
I am connecting to my hosting server via Remote Desktop Connection: RDC
I installed SQLX_SRV and MS_SRV on my hosting server and SQLX_LOC and MS_LOC on my local development machine. I am able to use MS_LOC to connect to SQLX_LOC and to use MS_SRV to connect to SQLX_SRV. However I am not able to use MS_LOC to connect
with SQLX_SRV. Here's what I have done so far:
SMGR -> Configuration -> Windows Firewall to turn off the Windows Firewall for Domain, Private and Public profiles. Obviously I'll change this later, but until I can connect I want to remove as many variables as possible.
CMGR_SRV -> SQL Server Services to confirm that both SQL Server (SQLEXPRESS) and SQL Server Browser services were running.
CMGR_SRV -> SQL Server Network Configuration -> Protocols for SQLEXPRESS to ENABLE the Shared Memory, Named Pipes, and TCP/IP protocols and DISABLE the deprecated VIA protocol.
CMGR_SRV -> SQL Server Network Configuration -> Protocols for SQLEXPRESS -> double click TCP/IP to open the TCP/IP properties dialogue. On the Protocol tab Enabled: Yes, Keep Alive: 30000, changed Listen All to No. I've tried it both
ways, but I've got six IP addresses on my server and I wanted to configure SQLEXPRESS to listen to only the first and primary IP. On the IP Addresses tab went to IPALL and cleared the TCP Dynamic Ports field and entered 1433 in the TCP Port field.
For my first and primary IP Address I made sure that Enabled was Yes, I cleared the TCP Dynamic Ports field, and entered 1433 in the TCP Port field. For all other IP Addresses Enabled was set to No and I cleared both the TCP Dynamic Ports and TCP Port
fields.
CMGR_SRV -> SQL Server Services -> SQL Server (SQLEXPRESS) right click and Restart. This of course stopped and restarted my instance of SQLX_SRV enabling the TCP/IP configuration in the previous step to take effect.
On my server, SQLX_SRV is the only instance of SQL Server running and so it's easy to hard wire it to the default port 1433.
The instance name for both SQLX_SRV and SQLX_LOC is the default "SQLEXPRESS". My server machine name is "SERVER1" on the EnglishBrains.com domain. So the proper local name (local within the context of my remote server as connected via RDC) for
my instance of SQLX_SRV would be:
SERVER1\SQLEXPRESS
Note the use of a backslash NOT a forward slash.
Of course to connect remotely from my development machine, which is not on the same domain as my hosting server, I would need to specify the domain as well, so the SQL Server name becomes:
SERVER1.EnglishBrains.com\SQLEXPRESS
I must also use SQL Server Authentication. Before I can use such a remote connection, however, there are still several configuration steps required. So on my server (connected via RDC) I used MS_SRV to connect to SQLX_SRV using SERVER1\SQLEXPRESS
for the server name and Windows Authentication. Once connected I performed the following steps:
MS_SRV -> right click the connected parent SERVER1\SQLEXPRESS instance node at the top -> Properties -> Security -> Server authentication: select "SQL Server and Windows Authentication mode". This will enable connections using either type
of authentication.
Next, leaving the Server Properties dialogue open, Connections -> check "Allow remote connections to this server" box.
Click OK to save these changes and close the Server Properties dialogue.
MS_SRV -> Security -> right click Logins and select "New Login...", the Login - New dialogue opens.
On the General page Enter a name for your new login
Select SQL Server Authorization
Enter and confirm a password
Uncheck Enforce password expiration
Select the default Database and Language
On the ServerRoles page Public will be checked, also check SysAdmin. This is probably not a good idea and I'll uncheck this as soon as I can connect to the SQLX_SRV.
On the User Mapping page select the databases you want your new Login to access and enter the Default Schema of "dbo".
At the bottom of the User Mapping page you'll see the Database Roles table. Public will be selected by default. Also select db_Owner. Again this is probably not a good idea, and I'll refine this once I can connect.
On the Status page confirm that "Grant" is checked under "Permission to connect to database engine" and "Enable" is checked under "Login".
Click OK to save all changes and close the Login - New dialogue.
With these steps completed you should now be able to use MS_SRV to connect to SQLX_SRV using SQL Server Authentication by supplying the name and password for your new Login. I tried this and it worked fine. Next I tried to use this same login
remotely, that is I went to my local development machine and used MS_LOC to try and connect to SQLX_SRV by using
SERVER1.EnglishBrains.com\SQLEXPRESS
and opting for SQL Server Authentication and supplying the name and password of my new login.
THIS DID NOT WORK?? Instead I get the following error message:
Cannot connect to SERVER1.EnglishBrains.com\SQLEXPRESS.
A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server. The server was not found or was not accessible. Verify that the instance name is correct and that SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections. (provider:
SQL Network Interfaces, error: 26 - Error Locating Server/Instance Specified) (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: -1)
For help, click:
http://www.microsoft.com/products/ee/transform.aspx?ProdName=Microsoft+SQL+Server&EvtSrc=MSSQLServer&EvtID=-1
If you follow the suggested help link, you are told:
The SQL Server client cannot connect to the server. This error could be caused by one of the following reasons:
A specified SQL Server instance name is not valid.
The TCP, or named pipes protocols are not enabled.
The firewall on the server has refused the connection.
The SQL Server Browser service (sqlbrowser) is not started.
WRONG on all 4 counts! The instance name IS valid. Both TCP/IP and Named Pipes protocols are enabled. The firewall has been shut down, so it is not relevant. Finally the SQL Server Browser IS started.
The next thing I tried was to circumvent discovery by the SQL Browser service by using the following syntax to specify the IP address and port directly when specifying the SQL Server name.
tcp:68.71.134.186,1433
Using this in the Server Name field I was able to use MS_SRV to successfully connect to SQLX_SRV (using SQL Server Authentication of course) with or without the SQL Browser service running.
However when I tried to connect from MS_LOC to SQLX_SRV using this same login (WITH SQL Browser service running just for good measure) it does not work?? I get the following error message:
Cannot connect to tcp:68.71.134.186,1433.
A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server. The server was not found or was not accessible. Verify that the instance name is correct and that SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections. (provider:

For help, click:
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink?ProdName=Microsoft+SQL+Server&EvtSrc=MSSQLServer&EvtID=10060&LinkId=20476
If you follow the help link you are told:
"The SQL Server client cannot connect to the server. This error could occur because either the firewall on the server has refused the connection or the server is not configured to accept remote connections."
However, the firewall has been shut down and the server HAS been configured to accept remote connections!
I confirmed that i could indeed Ping to 68.71.134.186 and running NetStat -a |find /i "listening" on the server shows that the server is indeed listening at 68.71.134.186 Port 1433 -- which is why I was able to connect to SQLX_SRV using MS_SRV with
tcp:68.71.134.186,1433 .
IN SUMMARY: Even though I can connect to my SQLEXPRESS instance multiple ways from the server itself, I cannot connect remotely from my development machine!
If anyone can help me figure out why I would be very, very grateful!

My two cents to help you out on c# code example to configure the remote sql server express.
Hope it helps. It works, but you have to be extra carefull to read it all and setup the server configuration and netsh commands; also the port fowarding on the router.

using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;

How to enable remote connections in SQL Server 2008

I'm trying to enable remote connections in SQL Server 2008 R2 as described in the following article. I see the error message at the top of the article.
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/walzenbach/archive/2010/04/14/how-to-enable-remote-connections-in-sql-server-2008.aspx
One step in the article describes how to enable TCP/IP in Configuration Manager.  Specifically it says that
'SQL Server NETWORK Configuration' should have TCP/IP enabled.
The issue I've encountered is that my Configuration Manager
is different than what appears in the article. My Configuration Manager shows the following:
SQL Server 2005 Services
SQL Server 2005 Network Configuration (32 bit)
      - Protocols for SQLExpress
SQL Native Client Configuration (32 bit)
       - Client protocols
       - Aliases
Note that I see 'SQL Server 2005 Network Configuration'
rather than that for 2008. When 'Protocols for SQLExpress'
is expanded, there is a TCP/IP setting, but it's disabled and I see an
Access Denied message if I try to enable this.
I also see a TCP/IP setting under Client protocols and successfully enabled this. This uses port 1433 and I configured my firewall to accomodate this port as suggested in the article.
I also followed the other steps in the article, but still don't have remote access to SQL Server 2008 R2. (I can access it from the office.) I'm wondering if this remote access issue is because SQL Server
2008 Network Configuration does not appear in Configuration Manager
and if so, I'm interested in how this might be resolved. (I'm running Windows 7 - 64 bit.)
I'd appreciate any ideas on this. Thanks.

To install Remote Desktop Services User CAL on Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise Edition with SP1

Dear Sir,
Presently we have installed Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise Edition with SP 1. And now i would like to install Remote Desktop Services User CAL on this server. I have 25 digit product key of Windows Server
2008 R2 Remote Desktop Services User CAL (20). Downloaded this product key from our MSDN Subscriptions.
Kindly suggest me how to install (CAL server with product key that i have) and configure remote desktop services on my above existing server also how to point other server with my CAL server.
Thanks

Hi,
1. Install Remote Desktop Session Host and Remote Desktop Licensing Role Services using Server Manager.
2. Open RD Licensing Manager (licmgr.exe), Activate your server, then install your license
3. In RD Session Host Configuration (tsconfig.msc), set the Licensing mode to Per User and Specify your RD Licensing server name (itself). If you want you may configure these two settings via group policy setting instead. The path of the
group policy settings is Computer Configuration\ Administrative Templates\ Windows Components\ Remote Desktop Services\ Remote Desktop Session Host\ Licensing
4. You may point other RDSH servers to your RD Licensing server using RD Session Host Configuration or via group policy as mentioned above.
5. Optionally you may consider installing other Remote Desktop Role Services such as RD Gateway, RD Web Access, RD Connection Broker, etc.

Configuring Service Broker between SQL Server 2008 and 2012 on Intranet

Hello, I would need help in configuring Service broker. As both servers are on the intranet, I wanted to remain the most simple so I used no certificates and allowed anonymous access but still, using SSBDiagnose, I can see errors.
I would like to paste here my configuration and my usage of SSBDiagnose, I already asked a question about SSBDiagnose usage but this new question is rather on the usage of certificates and the configuration of SSB, for me to know if I am doing this in the
best possible way.
Reading on the web, I have read in few places that certificates are not mandatory and that Windows Authentication only can be used. Then, I read that even if endpoints don't request certificates, the communication between two servers will still requires
certificates so I am wondering where is the truth...
I have two servers:
EmployeesSvr (SQL Server 2012 Enterprise Edition with Always On, EmployeesSvr is the listener name in front of two virtual servers)
CREATE MESSAGE TYPE [//E/S/ETChanged] VALIDATION = WELL_FORMED_XML
CREATE CONTRACT [//E/S/ECContract] ([//E/S/ETChanged] SENT BY INITIATOR)

Thank you for any help, I am searching for several answers :
Can I use the setup as I defined, with no certificate ? Is it risky ?
Is there too many objects defined ? Is it mandatory to have a Route and a Remote Service Binding ? I don't understand how those two are working togheter...
Is it ok to use the same windows account on each side, do they only need an 'Open' access rigth or do they need to be db_owner ?
Best regards,
Claude

Hi Claude,
1.Can I use the setup as I defined, with no certificate ? Is it risky ?
Service broker does not have to use certificate. The Certificate is necessary when you want to use dialog security, by which you can encrypt all messages sent outside a SQL Server instance.
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms166036(v=SQL.105).aspx
2.Is there too many objects defined ? Is it mandatory to have a Route and a Remote Service Binding ?
Remote Service Binding is used to privde dialog security. If you donnot need the dialog security, the Remote Service Binding is not mandatory.
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms166042(v=SQL.105).aspx
By default, each database contains a route that specifies that messages for any service which does not have an explicit route are delivered within the SQL Server instance. Since you have communications between different instances, creating a route between
them is necessary.
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms166032(v=SQL.105).aspx
3.Is it ok to use the same windows account on each side, do they only need an 'Open' access rigth or do they need to be db_owner ?
The windows account must own the certificate used for authentication. You can find more information below.
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms166045(v=SQL.105).aspx

Use of User CAL in Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard

We are using win server 2008 R2 server as domain controller.
Can we know how to use User CAL here in this scenario.

Hi,
First install the licensing role service applicable to your operating system.
To install the RD Licensing role service
1.On the server on which you want to install the RD Licensing role service, open Server Manager. To open Server Manager, click Start, point to Administrative Tools, and then click Server Manager.
2.If the Remote Desktop Services role is not already installed:
In the left pane, right-click Roles, and then click Add Roles.
On the Before You Begin page of the Add Roles Wizard, click Next.
On the Select Server Roles page, select the Remote Desktop Services check box, and then click Next.
On the Remote Desktop Services page, click Next.
On the Select Role Services page, select the Remote Desktop Licensing check box, and then click Next.
If the Remote Desktop Services role is already installed:
In the left pane, expand Roles.
Right-click Remote Desktop Services, and then click Add Role Services.
On the Select Role Services page, select the Remote Desktop Licensing check box, and then click Next.
3.On the Configure Discovery Scope for RD Licensing page, you can specify a discovery scope for the license server. For more information, see Terminal Services License Server Discovery.
4.On the Configure Discovery Scope for RD Licensing page, you can also specify the location where the RD Licensing database will be stored. If you want to specify a database location other than the default location provided, click Browse.
Note that the database location must be a local folder on the computer on which the RD Licensing role service is being installed.
5.Click Next.
6.On the Confirm Installation Selections page, verify that the RD Licensing role service will be installed, and then click Install.
7.On the Installation Progress page, installation progress is noted.
8.On the Installation Results page, confirm that installation of the RD Licensing role service succeeded, and then click Close.
To install and issue TS CALs or RDS CALs, you must first
activate the license server. When the license server is activated, Microsoft provides the license server with a limited-use digital certificate that validates server ownership and identity. Microsoft
uses the X.509 industry standard certificate for this purpose. Using this certificate, a license server can make subsequent transactions with Microsoft. To activate your license server, go to
Windows Terminal Services Licensing, a site designed to help you manage your license server and obtain client access license tokens.
For detailed information, view the link below:

Unable to configure Oracle Publisher in SQL SERVER 2008 R2

Hi, All,
I am trying to talk to my Oracle database from SQL server. I already had Oracle Client 11g installed in my SQL server.
Following the guidance in the technet on configuring the Distributer successfully. I now trying to configure the Publisher, by choosing "Adding Oracle Publisher" option. Then it prompt for the user id & password, I have enter the login (which
is replication user id created in Oracle). I encounter following error msg:

I have search the guideline on this error in Technet and do what I can to troubleshoot but still got error.
Kindly pls help me.
Thank you.
Avelyn

1.Make certain that a current version of the oracle client code is installed at the distributor”, please install corresponding version of Oracle
Client tools on Distributor Box
2.Are you able to connect to your Oracle server from the Distributor Box?if so,Distributor
box needs to have Oracle client tools installed on it before you can setup replication , I hope you have installed the Oracle client tools on Distributor Box. If yes, check if using SQLPlus you can connect manually to Oracle server or not from your Distributor
Box.
Moreover,Please refer the below
Before attempting to configure the Oracle Publisher, SQL Server verifies that SQL*PLUS is accessible through the system path on the Distributor. If SQL*PLUS cannot be loaded, the following error message is shown:
"Unable to run SQL*PLUS. Make certain that a current version of the Oracle client code is installed at the distributor."
Try to locate SQL*PLUS on the Distributor. For an Oracle 10g client install, the name of this executable is sqlplus.exe. It is typically installed in %ORACLE_HOME%/bin. To verify that the path of SQL*PLUS appears in the system path, examine the value of the
system variable Path:
Right-click My Computer, and then click Properties.
Click the Advanced tab, and then click Environment variables.
In the Environment Variables dialog box, in the System variables list, select the Path variable,
and then click Edit.
In the Edit System Variable dialog box: if the path to the folder that contains sqlplus.exe is not present in the Variable
value text box, edit the string to include it.
Click OK on each open dialog box to exit and save changes.

You are trying to attach SQL Server 2012 database files to SQL Server 2008 R2 which is not allowed, you either need to upgrade your SQL Server 2008 to 2012 or alternatively you can generate all scripts from SQL Server 2012 and execute it in SQL Server
2008 R2.
You can refer below link to how to generate script.

How to connect java project to sql server 2008 r2 database

i want to create an java application which has to create a database and later access it. My problem is that i am not able to connect sql server 2008 r2 database driver on to the netbeans.i have sql server 2008 r2 installed on my system.please
suggest me the step by step procedure to establish the connection

Hi ENG,
To establish a connection to SQL Server from a Java project, you have to download the JDBC driver for SQL Server from
here.
After extracting the jar files(like sqljdbc.jar) from the above link, add the driver to the netbeansIDE.
Test establishing a connection with the below Java Class.
import java.sql.*;
public class Test {
public static void main(String[] srg) {
String driverName = "com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver"; //load the jdbc driver
String dbURL = "jdbc:sqlserver://localhost:1433; DatabaseName=test"; //connection string to the db hosted on localhost
String userName = "sa"; //user name
String userPwd = "123456"; //password

How to delete the Folder from sql server 2008

Hi all,
I was trying to delete the folder from sql server 2008 with the below script
DECLARE @path VARCHAR(256) -- path for backup files
DECLARE @cmd VARCHAR(8000)
DECLARE @folderName VARCHAR(256) -- filename for backup
SET @folderName = + (CONVERT(varchar(10), GETDATE()-7, 112)) -- 7 days back date folder name
SET @path = 'I:\Backup_Test\' + @folderName -- Folder path
SET @cmd = 'del ' + @path -- Delete
EXEC master..xp_cmdshell @cmd
--Print @cmd
This is not working it was asking the Confirmation (I:\Backup_Test\20100629\*, Are you sure (Y/N)? ) what will i do to the delete the folder.
Thanks,
Prasad R.

I would notice   you that T-SQL does not play well to do things like that. Do not you want using .net language to delete folders?
Old method is
declare @HR int, @CFOLDER varchar(255),@FSO int
    set @CFOLDER='D:\folder\'
    EXEC @HR = sp_OACreate 'Scripting.FileSystemObject', @FSO OUT
    EXEC @HR = sp_OAMethod @FSO, null, 'DeleteFolder', @CFOLDER
Now regarding to your second question please examine xp_fileexist system stored procedure
CREATE FUNCTION dbo.fn_file_exists(@filename VARCHAR(300))
RETURNS INT
AS
BEGIN
DECLARE @file_exists AS INT
EXEC master..xp_fileexist @filename, @file_exists OUTPUT
RETURN @file_exists
END
GO
-- test
SELECT dbo.fn_file_exists('c:\a.txt')

Hi,
You could the free Oracle SQL*Developer to do this.
There is information and a download link here -
Oracle SQL Developer</title><meta name="Title" content="Oracle SQL Developer"><meta n…
and information on using it for migrations here -
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/migration/index-084442.html
You could use it in 2 ways -
1. Go through a migration but just pull the stored procedure code from the file created after you generate the SQL from the SQL*Server database
2. Use the scratch editor accessed from -
- Tools - Migration - Scratch Editor
and paste the SQL*Server stored procedure code into the window and it will convert it to Oracle code. The tool is very good but may have problems if you have very complicated procedures that use SQL*Server specific utilities.

How to only migrate data from SQL Server 2008 to Oracle 11?

According to our requirement, We need to only migrate data from a SQL Server database to an existed
Oracle database user.
1) I tried to do it with SQL Developer 3.0.04 Migration Wizard, But find an issue.
My SQL Server database name is SCDS41P2, and my Oracle database user name is CDS41P2;
When I used SQL Developer to do offline move data by Migration Wizard, I found all oracle user
name in movedata files which gotten by run Migration Wizard
is dbo_SCDS41P2. If the Oracle user name is not the same as my existed Oracle user name,
the data can't be moved to my existed Oracle user when I run oracle_ctl.bat in command line window.
So I had to modify the Oracle user name in all movedata files, but it's difficult to modify them because there are many tables in
databases. So could you please tell me how to get the movedata files which the oracle user name in them is my
expected Oracle user name?
2) I also tried to use the 'copy to Oracle' function to copy the SQL Server database tables data
to the existed Oracle database user. When clicked 'copy to Oracle', I selected 'Include Data' and 'Replace' option
But I found some tables can't be copied, the error info is as below:
Table SPSSCMOR_CONTROLTABLE Failed. Message: ORA-00955: name is already used by an existing object
Could you please tell me how to deal with this kind of error?
Thanks!

Hi,
Thanks for you replying. But the 'copy to oracle' function still can't be work well. I will give some info about the table. I also search 'SPSSCMOR_CONTROLTABLE' in the target schema, and only find one object. So why say 'name is already used by an existing object'? Could you please give me some advice? Thanks!

How to get password for the Sql server 2008 r2

Always when a user forgets a SA password , Blogs suggest to get into the server through windows Authentication having SysAdmin , and change the password for user SA.
Sir,
Is there any other methods to retrieve or see the password what we assigned before.
Example: If SA Password is assigned as Test
I have to get Test
, Instead of changing password.
Thanks in Advance.

Hello,
Dont you think it would create a Havoc if one could specifically see other admins password.Apply Gumption, you wont use SQL server if that feature is there.You cannot obtain password for other users.
If user forgets it change it ,there is no restriction on changing.

How to use update trigger in sql server 2008 with specific column

Hello friends currently my trigger updates on table update, and I need to change this to only fire when specific column changes.

>select @userid=i.userid
frominserted i;
select
@pair=i.pair
frominserted i;
The code above assumes a single row UPDATE.
You have to setup the trigger for set processing like when 100 rows are updated in a single statement.
