SQL Server configuration

let us suppose you install an instance - brand new instance which is going to go into production sometime later.
next, what are the configuration parameters that you would configure?
like memory etc.
appreciate the feedback.

Quite a few points suggested by James but values actually depend like
1. Max Memory = roughly 85% of the total memory the server has if no other services are on this box
This formula wont apply if you have 4 -8 G of RAM. Even if you have more than 16 gigs make sure you give atleast 5 G to OS. Yes 3 G to OS 1 G to AV and 1 G for other activities like remote desktop. This is actually not a accurate value. You would have to
look at perfmon counters mentioned in
this link.
Backup compression can also be enabled from sp_configure.
2 Set MAX DOP to 50 and then test with your work load until happy.
I have not seen such testing may be his own way to do testing . You can also have a look at
this link to calculate appropriate value of max degree of parallelism. I am more inclined to using correct value and then testing.
3. Give TempDB another 3 data files to avoid SGAM contention.
Only give data file to Tempdb when there is SGAM contention

SQL Server Configuration Manager

Hello,
I have a SQL 2008 SP3 install on Server 2012. It is clustered active/active. When opening SQL Server Configuration Manager > SQL Server Services, I receive the following message: The server threw an exception [0x80010105]
I have tried restarting WMI and this didn't resolve the issue as many posts and blogs have suggested.
I found this article: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2849344 but it only applies to SQL Server 2008R2 not 2008 that we have installed.
It states to grab a msclus.dll out of %windir%\syswow64 on a Windows 2008R2 box. A 32bit msclus.dll file or a 64bit file does not exist on a 2008R2 box in this directory. There is one in %windir%\system32 directory but the article clearly states
it exists in the Syswow64 folder.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
zWindows

Hi zWindows,
According to your description, the msclus.dll does exist in %windir%\system32 directory in your Windows Server 2008R2. I check this file in my cluster environment, it does exist in %windir%\winsxs directory. Personally, it belongs to system files, and maybe
saved in different system path due to the system version and bit. The different path will not affect to copy this file to the related directory. Then, register this .dll file on each node of the cluster.
About this exception [0x80010105], we need to verify if you change service account to a new domain user by SQL Server Configuration Manager in a clustered SQL Server instance. If yes, you need to ensure that Everyone is added to "Remote Launch" and "Remote
Activation" DCOM permissions, and new domain user account have read rights in WMI.
For more information about exception 0x80010105, you can review the following article.

SQL Server Configuration Manager 2008 - Slow to bring back SQL Services

HI
WMI queries are taking ~ 1 minute to bring up SQL Server services using the SQL server Configuration manager 2008. The cluster is a two node cluster with ~ 6 instances installed. Each node is running Windows 2008 R2 64 Bit and has been configured
according to best practice guidelines.
Do I need to re-build the WMI repository on each node in the cluster? Are their any associated risks?
Any guidance would be appreciated.
Cheers
Rob

Hello,
As already noted, this invokes WMI. I would start there and check to make sure the WMI processes aren't bloated or otherwise running out of memory or handles. I've had issues with this when running with things like IBM Director and Tivoli products that have
large numbers of WMI queries. This blog post may also help you getting started:

SQL server configuration Manager - WMI error.

I'm having an issue accessing SQL server configuration Manager on windows server 2012 64 bit.
Cannot connect to WMI provider. You do not have permission or the server is unreachable. Note that you can only manager SQL server 2005 and later servers with SQL Server Configuration Manager. Class does not exist. [0x8070583].
Any solution or workaround would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Thanks for the reply, the link you provided discuss the same issue but for a different class number, Invalid class [0x8004100]
The error I got is for Class [0x8070583], do you know if the proposed solution work for both classes?
Thanks again.

Hi sql393,
Cannot connect to WMI provider. You do not have permission or the server is unreachable. Note that you can only manage SQL Server 2005 servers with SQL Server Configuration Manager. Invalid class [0x80041010].
The solution is to go to a command prompt and then run mofcomp.

Sql Server Configuration Manager fails to start

Hi,
My Os is Windows 7 Enterprise.
I have Sql Server 2008 Developer Edt. with sp1
and Sql Server 2005 express (which comes with Visual Studio)
When I try to open Configuration Manager it fails:
Cannot connect to WMI provider. You do not have permission or the server is unreachable. Note that you can only manage SQL Server 2005 and later server with SQL Server Configuration Manager.
Invalid class [0x80041010]
I've tried everything I could find on the net. But none of them worked for me.
Later, I realised that the file called "sqlwep-uni.mof" under "c:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL10.INSTANCENAME\MSSQL\Binn" has failed with mofcomp command.
Microsoft (R) MOF Compiler Version 6.1.7600.16385

Any suggestions?

I think this can be fixed by parsing / registering the sqlmgmproviderxpsp2up mof file.

Thanks, Leks
That was the first thing I tried :)
I've also tried this: http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en/sqltools/thread/468b8484-2729-4a06-bfc3-efe54507dcb6
and this: http://msmvps.com/blogs/martinpoon/archive/2009/11/27/sql-server-configuration-manager-cannot-connect-to-wmi-provider-invalid-class-0x80041010.aspx
and that: http://www.nucleustechnologies.com/Repair-WMI-Services.php
and some other stuff I could find.
At least I've tried to repair Sql 2008 installation. But it also did not work.
Lastly I've uninstalled all the instances and components related with sql. And I renamed the folders (C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server and the hidden folder C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server) and made a clean install. Voila, it worked!
But the "Sql Server Configuration Manager"s icon has gone somewhere :) Anyway it works fine now.
I had to do that because I have a project to finish.
Poor Microsoft!

SQL Server configuration manager is empty

Hi. I am getting a timeout when I try to start SQL Agent on my local machine. I went to the Configuration Manager to investigate but the box is empty except for SQL Server Browser. Shouldn't all of my services be listed here? (Integration
Services, SQL Agent, etc)? I attached a screenshot for a reference.
While I have this question opened, can someone help me with why I can't start SQL Agent? I am getting a "timeout" error. I've been able to start SQL Agent in the past. The only thing I did was install SP2 for SQL Server 2012.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
Craig

Hi CBLEV,
Please follow the steps in this
blog to troubleshoot the issue that SQL Server Configuration Manager is missing services.
When SQL Server Configuration Manager works properly, please start SQL Server Agent Service from it. If you still fail to start SQL Server Agent Service, for further analysis, please help to post the full error message from SQL Server ErrorLog and Windows Event
log.

SQL Server Configuration Manager snap in not getting created by Microsoft Manager Console

I just installed SQL Server 2008 Express with Advanced Services. I want to enable FILESTREAM so I can install the AdventureWorks sample database. The instructions at this page: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc645923.aspx say:
On the Start menu, point to All Programs, point to Microsoft SQL Server 2008, point to Configuration Tools, and then click SQL Server Configuration Manager.
When I open SQL Server Configuration Manager I get an error message: "MMC could not create the snap in, the snap in might not have been installed correctly. Name: SQL Server Configuration Manager." Then it gives me a CLSID.
On this page: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms174212.aspx it says: "Microsoft Management Console (mmc.exe) uses the SQLServerManager10.msc file in the Windows System32 folder to open SQL Server Configuration Manager."
I looked in the System32 folder and, sure enough, the file SQLServerManager10.msc is in there. It's XML inside the file.
Please help. I really need to get this SQL Server Configuration Manager working so I can enable FILESTREAM data and install the database. I appreciate any help you can give.
--goldenthroat

I'd try this first;
Go to the Run from the Start menu and type mmc and press enter to open an empty console. Under the File menu select "Add/Remove Snap-in". Click "Add" under Console Root and select the "Microsoft SQL Enterprise Manager" snap-in. Close windows until you are back to the mmc, and you can rename the "console1.msc" to default name which is "SQL Server Enterprise Manager.MSC" and save it under C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\80\Tools\Binn (Default location of SQL Server 2000) - Obviously you want your 2008 installation folder and unfortunately I don't have it so I couldn't point you to it... http://weblogs.sqlteam.com/

How NOT to edit SSIS dtsx packages manually to change config filter in SQL Server configuration schema

I have many packages that are using the package configuration with the following way:
-ALL Packages have the XML configuration file that has only one proporty defined. The ConnectionString of the SQL Server connection that holds the configuration table for the rest of the properties
-A SEPARATE SQL Server package configuration for
each connection manager in the package.
-Finally an SQL Server configuration for all the properties that are specific to this package.
I attach a pic of what i mean: Yellow is the XML config with the connectionstring, Blue the connectionamangers and purple the package specific.
So with this setup i can:
-Change the xml file location and just point all the setup in another sql server or another database.
- Or create different configuration filters in the same config table and try to go into the package and change the filter.
With all the above the problem is that if i do anything from within VS, i am loosing the password in the connectionstring because i am not using the encrypt property. And i dont want to use it...
What are my options? Just go in .dtsx with notepad and chage what i want BEFORE i open the package or before i deploy?
Elias

You are correct but:
-I dont want to use EncryptSensitiveWithPassword, so:
When i go to package configuration and try to change the ConfoigurationFilter to point to another setting then i am getting to the screen to select the property (connectionstring) and when i finish the DATABASE record for the setting is cleared from the
Password= that i have put previously.
So i short what i want:
-No EncryptSensitiveWithPassword
-Being able to change configuration from within VS WITHOUT resetting the connectionstring string.
Elias
Nope what you're asking is not possible
There's certainly a purpose why each of things are given in the current format
For design level settings you need to use connection manager properties and for it to persist values for someone other than creator to use you need to use protection level as EncryptSensitiveWithPassword
And for runtime settings you need to specify values in config which has to be editted from outside the package by editing dtsconfig file or using update query depending on whether config is stored in file/table. In both the cases you can identify password
as a separate config item and modify its value from outside. That will work regardless of what you chose as protection level

Broken dropdowns in SQL Server Configuration Manager

I recently installed a new virtual VMWare machine for development purposes. The machine has Windows 8.1 (64 bit), Visual Studio 2013 and Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Standard Edition, all with latest updates.
Today I wanted to create a new Alias in the SQL Server Configuration Manager. I have previously done this for MS SQL 2012 on Windows 7 32 bit and it was straight forward. But on Windows 8.1 I was unpleasantly surprised. All dropdowns in SQL Server Configuration
Manager properties are broken - they are narrow and do not display any options. Here is a screenshot:
I thought that only the Protocol dropdown is broken, but I noticed the same issue with other dropdowns, even for simple Yes/No values:
I've heard from some people that some programs render broken on Windows 8 (one example was Office Live Meeting which has cropped configuration dialog) but haven't seen something like this before.
I asked some of my work colleagues and two of them reported the same problem. In one case it's on Windows 7 64 bit, but this person says that some months ago he didn't have the issue. Maybe some Windows or SQL Server update broke it.
If it matters, I'm running it on a virtual machine with 1366x768 resolution and DPI setting is on 100%.
Somehow I managed to select values blindly using arrow keys and enter. This means the values are actually there but the dropdown does not render them at all. It feels so awkward to be unable to see what I'm selecting.
Product versions are as follows:
SQL Server Configuration Manager: 2011.0110.2100.060
SQL Server: 11.0.3128.0
What is wrong with these dropdowns and how do I fix them?

Hi,
I was able to reproduce this issue on my machine as well. It has SQL Server 2012 SP1 and Windows 8.1 installed.
The issue happens when I add the SQL Server Configuration Manager as a snap-in to MMC.exe. It works fine if I launch the SQL Server Configuration Manager from the shortcut which installed by SQL Server in the Start Menu\Programs\Microsoft SQL Server 2012\Configuration
Tools folder.
To get around this, you need to launch the SQLServerManager11.msc in C:\Windows\SysWOW64 rather than C:\Windows\System32. Use the below command:
MMC %windir%\syswow64\SQLServerManager11.msc
The issue has been reported on Microsoft Connect:
https://connect.microsoft.com/SQLServer/feedback/details/747902/configuration-manager-snapin-dropdownlists-are-broken-empty-and-gray
Sorry for the inconvenience you have experienced and thank you for your understanding and continued support.

Can't find SSL certificate in SQL server configuration manager?

Hi
It's been 2 days and I need a help. I have visited a number of sites and I still can't make it work
Two severs I have: Windows 2012 Standard with SQL 2008 R2 and SQL 2012
I am trying to set it up on SQL 2008 R2 right now.
I have a certificate from a CA and did the followings.
1. Open MMC
2. Add Certificates Snap-in as a computer account (In fact, I tried all the three accounts)
3. Right click-on Personal folder and All taks and Import
4. Installed the certificate with Certificate import Wizard
5. The certificate shows up under Personal/Certificates and Trusted Root Certification Authorities/Certificates
I did this with a local administrator account as well as MSSQL account(SQL Server service account I created). Even though the server is part of domain, SQL server is set up with local accounts.
This is a simply summary. I tried everything in the article such as 'Create Custom Request'.
I am not sure what I am missing. Why can't I see the certificate in SQL Server configuration manager?
I even made MSSQL (service account) as administrator. Not working.
as I am not using the domain service account, I believe below is not relevant.
Missing detail on "Install a certificate in the Windows certificate store..."
When following recommended security procedures and running SQL server under a domain service account, the service will fail to start after assigning a certificate to the protocols. This is because the service account does not have permissions to read
the private key. Fix this in the Certificates MMC snap-in (preferably right after installing the certificate.) Select the certificate you just imported, then in the Action menu select "Manage private keys." Grant the domain service
account read access to the private key of the server certificate.
Below is the few of reference I looked at..

Hi Dinesh
Thanks for the reply.
I did looked into the both sites as well. but it did not work.
Below is the step to install SQLs server certificate. and I was stuck with Step 9. when click 'next' in the wizard, I am not getting into a place to select 'computer' as certificate type.
Do you know what is wrong please?
Open the Microsoft Management Console (MMC): click Start, then click Run and in the Run dialog box type: MMC
On the File menu, click Add/Remove Snap-in...
Select Certificates, click Add.
You are prompted to open the snap-in for your user account, the service account, or the computer account. Select the Computer Account.
Select Local computer, and then click Finish.
Click OK in the Add/Remove Snap-in dialog box.
Click to select the Personal folder in the left-hand pane.
Right-click in the right-hand pane, point to All Tasks, and then click Request New Certificate...
Click Next in the Certificate Request Wizard dialog box. Select certificate type 'Computer'.
You can enter a friendly name in text box if you want or leave it blank, then complete the wizard.
Now you should see the certificate in the folder with the fully qualified computer domain name

Cannot set Start Mode using SQL Server Configuration Manager

Is there some other way that I can change the Start Mode?

I have seen that on my laptop as well and it was due to display /resolution setting. Please see if that helps you. BTW, as already answered, services.msc is another way of changing it.

How to automate Sql Server Configuration Manager settings?

For example, I have just installed Sql Express 2012, and need to configure it for use over the local network. Usually I just manually open Sql Server Configuration Manager -- Sql Server Network Configuration -- <myinstance>, and enable TCP/IP on 1433.However,
I am not going to be available to do this on every customer's computer. I need to do these steps using a script or something. Is there a way to do this?

Have a look at this stackexchange thread:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9138172/enable-tcp-ip-remote-connections-to-sql-server-express-already-installed-databas
There are two good options outlined there
1. install it with the /TCPENABLED=1 switch (in the original post)
2. Execute a wmi script post-install (in the answer)
Note: if you decide to use WMI the root path will be \root\Microsoft\SqlServer\ComputerManagement11 for 2012
I will have to support install time, and post install. Does TCPENABLED=1 also setup the 1433 port value in TCP/IP Properties - IP Addresses tab?
