Change SQL server instance collation after Sharepoint installation

Installed Sharepoint 2013 with the SQL Server 2012 db instance using the default collation Latin1_General_CI_AS. SQL is just used for Sharepoint 2013. the system is not released yet for production Run the installation and configurations and database
attach for all content databases. all content dbs were created by SP with proper collation Latin1_General_CI_AS_KS_WS, as well as search, UP and all service applications.
Would like to change the SQL collation for the instance to Latin1_General_CI_AS_KS_WS(as
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2008668) . Steps that I see:
1. Stop IIS on SP
2. Script logins
3. recreate instance collation
setup /QUIET /ACTION=REBUILDDATABASE /INSTANCENAME=<Name> /SQLSYSADMINACCOUNTS=<Sysadmins> /SAPWD=PasswordSA /SQLCOLLATION=Latin1_General_CI_AS_KS_WS
4.recreate logins (including Sharepoint farm, portal and services service accounts) from previous scripts. Redeploy linked servers ,remote logins,endpoints, backup devices
4. attach all Sharepoint databases
5. since it is preproduction not need msdb also model can remain as recreated by setup
do you see any issue?

Hello,
Please take in consideration the steps suggested by Darren Madsen on the following resource.

  • Sql Server 2008 - problems after incorrect installation of SSIS component

    During the addition of SSIS component to an existing installation of Sql Server 2008 the setup has been made using Sql Server 2008 R2 media.
    Now SSMS shows the following error during the connection to the instance :
    Method not found: 'Int32.Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Sdk.Sfc.ISfcDomain.GetLogicalVersion()'
    I've tried to remove R2 components and to repair the existing 2008 installation.
    At the moment 2008 R2 Native client and Setup are still present in the list of Programs and Features.
    From previous comments I understand this method is in a Sql Server 2008 R2 assembly, so it seems that SSMS is running as R2 but is using 2008 libraries.
    How can I correct this ?
    Thanks.

    Hello,
    Be careful uninstalling now SQL Server 2008 R2 components. If you uninstall shared components that are SQL Server 2008
    R2 components the whole SQL Server 2008 instance will be unusable. For more information about having SQL Server 2008 and SQL Server 2008 R2 installed on the same computer, please read the following article:

  • How to change SQL Server security groups name after server rename?

    A Windows 2003 server has been renamed from LAMDAMIRROR1A to LAMDAMIRROR2A and the following
    sql has been run in SQL Server 2008 R2 on the server :
    exec sp_dropserver 'LAMDAMIRROR1A'
    exec sp_addserver 'LAMDAMIRROR2A','local'
    However, although everything appears ok, the 5 Windows 2003 Groups (automatically created by
    the SQL 2008 R2 Install) still contain 'LAMDAMIRROR1A' in their name. Does this matter ? Can the Windows Groups be just renamed (right click , rename) or will this cause problems ?
    The Windows Groups are :
    SQLServer2005SQLBrowserUser$LAMDAMIRROR1A
    SQLServerDTSUser$LAMDAMIRROR1A
    SQLServerMSSQLServerADHelperUser$LAMDAMIRROR1A
    SQLServerMSSQLUser$LAMDAMIRROR1A
    SQLServerSQLAgentUser$LAMDAMIRROR1A
    There are also Registry entries containing the old 'LAMDAMIRROR1A' name. Does this matter ?
    Should this be changed ?
    eg. 
    My Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server\100\Machines\OriginalMachineName.
    My Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server\Services\Report Server\GroupPrefix.
    My Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\printers\Microsoft XPS
    DocumentWriter\DsSpooler\serverName.
    etc

    Hi,
    If you have executed the sp_dropserver and sp_addserver in SQL Server 2008 R2, we need to verify if you renamed the SQL Server instance successfully. You can select information from @@SERVERNAME or sys.servers to verify if the renaming operation is completely
    successful in SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS). If yes, whether you change the registry entries containing the old 'LAMDAMIRROR1A' name or not, there’s no impact on SQL Server Services. For more details, please review this article: 
    How to: Rename a Computer that Hosts a Stand-Alone Instance of SQL Server.
    In addition, if you must rename the windows groups, you can just right-click the group in Computer Management/System Tools/Local Users and Groups/Groups and rename it, or you can create new groups with new names, for more details, please review this article:
    Manage Local Groups. If there are some issues regards the Windows, you can post the question in the Windows Server forums at
    http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windowsserver/en-US/home?category=windowsserver . It is appropriate and more experts will assist you.

  • Cannot start SQL Server (SQLEXPRESS) 2012 after changes to IPALL

    I made a change to Protocols for SQLEXPRESS, TCP/IP, IP Addresses, IPALL and now receive an error when attempting to restart SQL Server.  Can anyone help with this?   Is it possible to restore system to prior checkpoint in order to correct
    this?
    Please help.

    Hi Chuck,
    The Error "TDSSNIClient initialization failed with error 0xd, status code 0x10. Reason: Unable to retrieve registry settings from TCP/IP protocol's 'IPAll' configuration key. The data is invalid" Suggest that there is a problem with the data stored in one
    of the registry keys related to SQL server start up. Although the information provided is not sufficient to pinpoint to a specific issues. Still try the following step open the SQL server configuration manager
    Select SQL server Network Configuration->Protocols for <Your SQLExpress instance Name>
    On the right side double click TCP/IP.Select IPAddresses Tab. Scroll the way down till you file IPALL
    Make sure that there are only a valid TCP/IP Port number is present. Even the leading or trailing whitespaces could make a difference here. Once you have verified that above two conditions are met. Try starting the SQL server instance.
     Also make sure that the TCP/IP port is not being used by any other program.
    You can run the command netstat -aon on the command prompt to see the list of ports being used. Make sure that the port you have specified for SQL server is not listed under the TCP protocols.
    Hope this helps.

  • SCOM 2012 Installation does not show the SQL Server Instance for reporting services

    I have an issue when I try to install SCOM 2012 with the Reporting Server feature, so in the step that I have to select a SQL Server Instance I cannot do that, because as you can see in the picture no one option appears.
    In my scenario I have a DCSERVER, SQLSERVER2008 R2, SCCMSERVER 2012 and in other server I are trying to install SCOM 2012. I are trying to use the same SQLSERVER to SCOM 2012.
    Should I do other procedure on SQL Server before to continue? I will apreciate someone could say me what I need to do to resolve this issue.
    Regards,
    Paul Mendoza.

    Hi Paul
    Can you confirm that SQL Reporting Services is installed on the server that you are doing the install.
    For a lab environment where you have SCOM Management Server, Web Server on one server and SQL Server on another you need to:
    - run setup on the SCOM Server and choose NOT to install reporting. The install here will create the OperationsManager database and OperationsManagerDW (reporting) database.
    - run setup on the SQL Server where SQL Reporting Services is installed. Then choose to install reporting. You should then see the SQL Reporting Services instance on the above window which is blank in your screenshot.
    Take note of the warning in that window - SCOM uses its own role based security within SQL Reporting Services and this can break other reporting. E.g. you can't install SCOM and SCSM reporting (SQL RS component) together. 
    Cheers

  • DPM failing SQL backups due to error: "the SQL Server instance refused a connection to the protection agent. (ID 30172 Details: Internal error code: 0x80990F85)

    I ran across this error starting on 6/4/2011 and have been unable to find the root of the problem.  In our environment, we have a DPM 2010 server dedicated to backing up all our SQL envrionment (about 45 SQL Servers total).  All of the SQL
    environment is backing up fine except for a SQL Cluster Application.  This particular SQL Instances is part of a 6 node failover cluster with 6 SQL Instances distributed amongst them.  The other 5 SQL instances in the cluster are backing
    up fine; only one instance is failing.  The DPM Alerts section shows this error when attempting to do a SQL backup of one of the databases on this SQL instance:

    I have checked the cluster node this particular SQL instance is running on using Perfmon and the machine is nowhere near capacity on CPU, memory, network, or Disk I/O.  I have failed this SQL Application to another node in the cluster and
    receive the same error (this other node has another clustered SQL application on it that is actively running as well as backing up fine).  The only thing that I am aware of that has changed is that we installed SP2 for SQL 2008 about 2 weeks prior
    to when the failures started to occur.  However, we updated all six clustered SQL Instances at the same time and only this one is having this issue so I don't believe that caused the problem.  We are running SQL 2008 SP2 (version 10.0.4000.0)
    on all clustered instances along with DPM 2010 (version 3.0.7696.0) on this particular DPM server that has the issue.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Don't know if this helps or not, but I also noticed another peculiar issue that is derived from this problem.  If I go to "Modify protection group", then expand the cluster, then expand all six nodes in the cluster, five of them show "All SQL Servers"
    and allow me to expand the SQL Instance and show all databases; the one that is having a problem backing up, when I expand the node, doesn't even show that SQL exists on the node, when in fact, it does.
    I would also like to add that the databases on this node that will not backup are running fine.  They run hundreds of transactions daily so we know SQL itself is OK.  Even though it is a busy SQL Server, there is plenty of available resources as
    the SQL buffer and memory counters show the node is not under durress.

  • [Forum FAQ] Troubleshooting error "The specified SQL server instance is not valid" when installing SCOM reporting service

    Symptom
    If you have failed to install SCOM reporting service, you may encounter below error when you reinstall it:
    “The specified SQL server instance is not valid”.
    (Figure 1)
    Figure 1.
    Reason
    This issue may be caused by multiple reasons, for example the reasons in Figure 1.
    However, you may find that SSRS and Report Server website are configured correctly and no SSL or proxy Server is used. In these scenario, you can open the log file under path
    to find the root reason:
    C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSRS11.MSSQLSERVER\Reporting Services\LogFiles
    Later, you will find the error as below:
    ERROR: Throwing Microsoft.ReportingServices.Library.ReportServerDisabledException: , Microsoft.ReportingServices.Library.ReportServerDisabledException:
    The report server cannot decrypt the symmetric key that is used to access sensitive or encrypted data in a report server database. You must either restore a backup key or delete all encrypted content. ---> System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException
    (0x80090016): Keyset does not exist (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80090016)

    at Microsoft.ReportingServices.Library.ConnectionManager.<GetEncryptionKey>b__2()
    --- End of inner exception stack trace ---;
    Solution
    According to the error message, you can delete encrypted content by following the steps below:
    Open SQL Reporting Services Configuration Manager.
    Select “Encryption Keys”.
    Click “Delete” to delete all encrypted content. (Figure 2)
    Figure 2.
    After that, we can install SCOM reporting service again, after successfully install reporting service, we should see the SCOM operation console as below:
    Figure 3.
    In addition, you may also encounter other errors when installing SCOM reporting service, and the troubleshooting steps may be different. However, we can also check SQL reporting
    service logs to find the root reason.
    Here are some articles that would be helpful for SCOM reporting service installation and troubleshooting:

  • Setup cannot connect to the specified SQL Server instance

    On a clean install domain member (Windows 2012), I am trying to setup System center 2012 VMM:
    1. I installed the prerequisites as instructed during the pre-setup phase of the installation then rebooted the server (SQL Server 2012 was installed and services seem to be all started properly and SQL Configuration Manager starts as well).
    2. After reboot, logged again with domain admin account and Windows update installed right away SP1 for SQL server 2012. Then I rebooted again.
    3. Restarted the installation process and left default values. At the "Database configuration" step, I am leaving everything by default as well and I am getting error: "Setup cannot connect to the specified SQL Server instance. Ensure that
    the server name..."
    4. Tried different credentials, tried using port 1433 with no effect.
    Am I missing something????
    Thanks.
    Benjilafouine

    Definitely be sure to connect with the "ServerName\InstanceName,PortNumber". If you don't reference a port number it will try 1433 and then will connect via a dynamic port number. It is best in my opinion to always specify a specific port for each instance
    to listen on in the SQL Server Configuration Manager so that you can open the fewest number of ports in the Windows firewall.

  • Multiple SQL Server Instances and MSDTC / AGs usage

    Hello,
     We are in the planning stages of migrating from SQL Server 2008R2 to 2012 to be running on Windows Server 2012, and I have a question about MSDTC, Availability Groups and multiple sql instances on a single box.
     We have a couple of databases that rely on MSDTC so we know they can not participate in Availabilty Groups, but most of the other dbs we use DO NOT need MSDTC so I wondering the following:
    1) Can I install two instanaces of SQL Server on a single box and have one using a local DTC, and therefore unable to use AGs, and the other instance on the same box NOT use DTC and therefor CAN use AGs?
    2) If I can't do this, I assume each instance would need it's one machine. Is that correct?
    Thanks
    Eric

    Hi Eric,
    As described in this
    article, for a given availability group, the availability replicas must be hosted by separate instances of SQL Server residing on different nodes of a WSFC cluster. Thus, we cannot configure a availability group for multiple SQL Server instances that reside
    on a single node.
    In addition, MSDTC is not supported by AlwaysON Availability Groups because
    transaction atomicity/integrity cannot be guaranteed. For example, while
    using a MS DTC transaction, after failover, the new principal contacts MS DTC. But MS DTC has no knowledge of the new principal server, and it terminates any transactions that are "preparing to commit," which are considered committed
    in other databases. However, using Availability Groups together with DTC does not result in an unsupported SQL Server installation. For more information, please review this article:
    Cross-Database Transactions Not Supported For Database Mirroring or AlwaysOn Availability Groups (SQL Server).

  • SQL Server 2005 collation type for the Discovery System?

    Greetings,
    The SQL Server 2005 Eval 180 day license expired on our Discovery System. I un-installed the Eval copy and installed a licensed SQL Server 2005 EE instance. I searched for the SQL Server collation, and found SAP Note 600027, which recommended Binary order for use with the 850 Multilingual Character Set as the collation.
    I attached the existing databases using the script provided with the Discovery system. Started up the SAP ERP instance. I then tried to log into the ERP 300 and got a START_CALL_SICK error message. From the error message details I find, "DB CHECK Wrong Server collation. Perform SQL2005 after upgrade steps. Please see note 126973". Note 126973 seemed to refer me to note 799058. However this talks about upgrading....
    It appears to me I simply chose the wrong SQL Server 2005 collation type when installing the licensed coipy of SQL Server.
    What collation type should be used?
    Thanks,
    Jay Warling

    After reviewing what I did, it appears I neglected to detach the databases before un-installing SQL Server 2005 evaluation copy.
    I did stop the ERP system via the SAP MMC before un-installing but did not detach the databases.
    I believe the collation is actually correct, but I am stumped as how to proceed with the START_CALL_SICK error message.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks,
    Jay

  • Is it possible to have different authentication mode for SQL Server Database Engine and corresponding SQL Server instance?

    Hi,
    I have installed the x64 SQL Server 2008 R2 Express with default settings and run MBSA 2.3 (using default settings too). It shows three SQL Server instances: MSSQL10_50.SQLEXPRESS, SQLEXPRESS and SQLEXPRESS (32-bit). For the first, authentication
    mode is Windows, for the rest two - mixed. Here https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/sqlserver/en-US/03e470dc-874d-476d-849b-c805acf5b24d/sql-mbsa-question-on-folder-permission?forum=sqlsecurity question
    about such multiple instances was asked and the answer is that "MSSQL10.TEST_DB
    is the instance ID for the SQL Server Database Engine of the instance, TEST_DB", so in my case, it seems that MSSQL10_50.SQLEXPRESS is the instance ID for SQL Server Database Engine  of the SQLEXPRESS instance.
    I have two questions:
    1) How can it be that SQL Server DB Engine instance has different authentication mode than corresponding SQL Server Instance?
    2) Why 32-bit instance reported although I installed only 64-bit version?
    Also, this https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/security/en-US/6b12c019-eaf0-402c-ab40-51d31dce968f/mbsa-23-reporting-sql-32bt-instance-is-running-in-mixed-mode-when-it-is-set-to-integrated?forum=MBSA question seems to be related to this
    issue, but there is no answer :(.
    Upd: Tried on clean Windows 8 installation and Windows 7 with the same result.

      Because I DO NOT want the three people who will be having access to the production SQL Server to also have access to the primary host ProductionA.  Since I have to allow them to RDC into the box to manage the SQL Server, I figure why not create
    a separate VM for each one of them and they can RDC into those instead.
    Does this make any sense?
    Any tips are greatly appreciated.  The main reason for doing this is because the three people who will be accessing the box, I need to isolate each one of them and at the same time keep them off of the primary ProductionA.
    Thanks for your help.

    Hello M,
    Since you dont want the 3 guys to have access to Production machine A.You can install SQL Server client .By client i mean SQL server management studio(SSMS) on there local desktop and then create login for them in SQL Server.Open port on which your SQL server
    is running for three of the machines so that they can connct.Now with SSMS installed on each machine each can connect to SQL server from there own machine.
    I would also like you to be cautious with giving Sysadmin privilege to all three of them ,first please note down what task they would do and then decide what rights to be provided.
    Your option will also work but you need to create 3 VM for that .Which is more tedious task.
    Hope this helps

  • Connect from SQL Developer to several SQL Server instances

    Our SQL Server has more than one instance, but I see only one instance of them trying to connect from SQL Developer 1.2 to SQL Server. How I should define the connection information? Usually we connect to SQL Server by <hostname>/<instancename> and then the database name as CatalogName (Initial Catalog). In the Oracle world you can give only the hostname, a port number and the database name. How I can convince the SQL Developer to choose one of our SQL Server instances?

    Hi user627927,
    Bug/Enhancement request already logged.
    We have not got this configuration in house, two people have suggested workarounds but we are unable to test them for now. The last person was unable to get these workarounds working, and we have not confirmed them in house.
    Can you get the instances connected through two different ports?
    It would be great if you could confirm either workaround.

    *1/Suggestion 1 change the URL through SQLDevelopers xml connection store.
    *2/Overload the port field to have instance in the eventual url
    *1/Suggestion 1 change the url through SQLDevelopers xml connection store.
    [Note it is probably simpler to connect a dummy connection through the connection dialog as usual save it (you cannot connect) and then add the instance information rather than having to enter all the information in an unmanaged way.]
    Hi Naveen,
    I had same problem as you and user579801. I managed to resolve it by doing the following.
    1. Locate the file called IDEConnections.xml in the folder where you have installed SQL Developer (eg. c:\sql developer\sqldeveloper\system\oracle.jdeveloper.db.connection.11.1.1.0.11.42.62).
    2. Create the following entries under <connections> tag.
    <connection>
    <URL>jdbc:jtds:sqlserver://\\.\;namedPipe=true;instance=SQLDBNam;</URL>
    <ConnectionName>SQLServer</ConnectionName>
    <user>SQLUser</user>
    <ConnectionType>JDBC</ConnectionType>
    <DeployPassword>false</DeployPassword>
    <JdbcDriver>net.sourceforge.jtds.jdbc.Driver</JdbcDriver>
    <RaptorConnectionType>Microsoft SQL Server</RaptorConnectionType>
    </connection>
    3. Save the file; Close and re-open the SQL Developer and try connecting.
    Hope this will solve your problem. Good luck.
    Regards
    Raja
    *2/Overload the port field to have instance in the eventual url
    This took some figuring out but I cracked it in the end....
    SQLServer tab:
    Hostname: <servername>
    Port: <portnumber>/<databasename>;instance=<instancename>
    so for me the Port field looks like this: 1433/Gaffa;instance=SQL01
    That should now connect to a named instance SQL Server.

  • Change sql server 2014 server name

    Hi
    This works on sql 2008 r2, but not on sql server 2014
    sp_dropserver 'old_server'
    Msg 15015, Level 16, State 1, Procedure sp_dropserver, Line 42
    The server 'old_server' does not exist. Use sp_helpserver to show available servers.
    sp_addserver 'new_server',local
    Msg 15028, Level 16, State 1, Procedure sp_addserver, Line 74
    The server 'new_server' already exists.

    You mean you are changing server name(Host name) ? But this is only to change SQL instance name not server name.
    Please paste output:
    Select @@ServerName ServerName, Host_name() HostName
    Follow steps from here:
