How scaling a SQL Server 2012 installation

Hi,
I need to know if it is possible to scale SQL Server 2012 by using more database servers in load balancing.
Many thanks

Hello,
My suggestion is to use AlwaysOn over any other method. I have not seen a load balancing hardware used for balancing SQL
Server yet, so I cannot share with you any  useful experience. However, I found the following third-party solution.
http://blogs.citrix.com/2011/03/29/load-balancing-sql-2/
Try to avoid using Peer-to-Peer replication due to possible high latency, unless you use one of the instances to query data (SELECT) and the other to update data (INSERT/DELETE/UPDATE).
Sorry for my late response. It was a very busy day from the very first hours of the day.

Hope this helps.

  • After sql server 2012 installation, I have changed sql server database engine service account from network service user to system user. What is disadvantages of this process?

         After
     sql server 2012 installation, I   attached my production db. Because of some reasons, i
     changed sql engine account from network service user to system user by means of sql server configuration manager.
         Now , there isn’t
     a problem at sql server running system.  But
    I have doubts that
     this can produce problems later. Because  sql server database engine account must have privileges that listed below;
    Log on as a service (SeServiceLogonRight)
    Replace a process-level token (SeAssignPrimaryTokenPrivilege)
    Bypass traverse checking (SeChangeNotifyPrivilege)
    Adjust memory quotas for a process
    (SeIncreaseQuotaPrivilege)
    Permission to start SQL Writer
    Permission to read the Event Log service
    Permission to read the Remote Procedure Call service
     While sql server installation, setup gives these
     privileges to network service user automatically, but changing user by means of sql confugarition manager does not give these
    privileges.
    Now, system user has privileges listed below. And sql server has been running for 1,5 months without any problems.
    Log on as a service (SeServiceLogonRight)
         Bypass traverse checking
    (SeChangeNotifyPrivilege) (Everyone user has his privileges. So i think that system user has this privilege also)
    What problems can occur because of this situation? Shall i give other privileges to system user and restart sql server or not? And how can i give these privileges to system user listed below;
    Replace a process-level token (
    this can be set from user rights assignments)
    Adjust memory quotas for a process
    (this can be set from user rights assignments)
    Permission to start SQL Writer ( 
    ? - give advice )
    Permission to read the Event Log service (
    ? - give advice )
    Permission to read the Remote Procedure Call service (
    ? - give advice )

     Our server is  windows server 2008 r2 enterprise edition. I have looked the bunch of permissions in user rights menu  that is in local security policy settings gui.
    And i have seen those permissions below were not granted to system user;
    Bypass traverse checking (SeChangeNotifyPrivilege)
    Adjust memory quotas for a process
    (SeIncreaseQuotaPrivilege)
    So, briefly you say, don't panic ?

  • SQL Server 2012 installation and to default user database files to a particular path

    Hi, I am working on SQL Server 2012 installation on one of our test boxes and I would like to configure the sql server install binaries and all the system databases but for tempdb to be in my C and tempdb on a different drive and once all this is set up,
    whenever a developer creates a new database without specifying the path for the mdf & ldf files. They should be defaulted to a path like "D:/Data file" & "D:/Log file" for instance instead of being created on the C drive.
    Thanks in advance.........
    Ione

    Hi,
    You can of course set default location of database through management Studio please refer below link. Once you change default location even if you do not specify location it would take default one.
    http://sqlandme.com/2013/03/18/sql-server-changing-default-database-location-for-server/
    I would advise you not to keep files on C drive let it be dedicated system drive also its quite possible that SQL server service account would not have privilege on C drive so after you move tempdb SQL server would not come online as tempdb files cannot
    be created . Tempdb is always recreated after SQL Server starts so you just need to change location once using Alter database command
    See example mentioned in below link for how to do that

  • How to upgrade SQL Server 2012 SSMS

    I have SQL Server 2012 SSMS (11.0.3000.0) on my machine, however this crashes at least 5-8 times a day. So I want to try to apply KB2874879. But when I try to install it I can't progress because it says there is no instance found to apply. I only want
    to update the SSMS, I'm not running any local instance on that machine. How can I get SSMS to the latest version ?

    Hi,
    According to your description, I know the SQL Server Management Studio always crashes on the client machine and there is no SQL Server was installed on that machine.
    KB2874879 is cumulative update package 6 for Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Service Pack 1 and it should be installed on SQL Server. And install CU6 does not guarantee it will resolve the SQL Server Management Studio crash issue on the client machine. If the
    SQL Server Management Studio is corrupted, you need to perform a repair installation from the Installation Center.
    Thanks.

  • How to install sql server 2012 using the license of sql 2014

    Hello,
    We want to install sql server 2012 on a server because of an application that can not work with sql server 2014.
    We have a license for sql server 2014. The license is not visible for sql 2014 in our licenses because it is now included in the installation package. We also can not get a license key for SQL 2012 server now.
    How can we get a valid sql server 2012 license key?
    Thanks,
    Gr. Peter.

  • SQL Server 2012 Installation Issue

    Hi
    Not sure if this is the correct forum for this but I'll post anyway.
    Ialready have sql 2005 and 2008r2 installed on my local machine running windows 7, 64 bit.
    I recently tried to install sql 2012 but ran into a problem that I'm stumped by. The installation runs fine, no errors or issues. When I start 2012 the SS Management studio window appears but the usual splash screen in the middle of the window asking to
    to connect to a server does not. If I try hitting any of the meny items at the top of the screen the SSMS window just hangs.
    I have service pack 1 installed also. I uninstalled and tried again but still no luck. my SQL 2005 and 2008r2 version are still fine and run as normal. I also tried installing sql 2014 to see if that would work but I had the same issue as with 2012.
    Any ideas anyone?
    thanks in advance
    

    Hi,
    Both SQL Server 2012 and SQL Server 2014 require .NET Framework 4.0 which does not required by the previous versions.
    Make sure that . NET Framework 4.0 has been successfully installed on your system before you install SQL Server

  • How to disable SQL server 2012 sa password auto reset

    We have SQL server 2012 in windows xp and we using sa login and password as null.
    My problem is the password automatically reset within 3 hours once,
    Anyone can help how to disable the automatically reset password or how to increase the reset time.
    Thanks..!!!

    SQL Server never changes any password, someone else is doing this. And it is a high risk to use SA account especially with an empty password!!!
    Fully agree. A blank password for sa? In 2015?
    Apparently something in your environment pokes around for server instances with blank sa passwords and teaches you a lesson. You could set up an event notification or a DDL trigger to find out that may be. Or just prove that you are smarter than them by
    renaming sa. Or even better, prove that you are living in the present and set a strong password for sa. Or even better, disable sa, and only use Windows accounts that are in sysadmin so that you know how did what.

  • Sql server 2012 installation error

    can someone please tell me why i am getting an error when i am trying to install sql 2012 SP1. it when i get to the installation  it says "sql server Setup has encountered the following error. hexadecimal value 0x00, is an invalid character.Line
    1, position 51471. error code 0x84B10001.

    Hi vijatkumar.ptl,
    According to your description and your error message, when you install SQL Server 2012, check if splinters of an MSDE instance (Microsoft Desktop Engine) was left over from other program. If this hidden instance exists, and the installer perform the RunDiscoveryAction
    process, the issue will occur. So I recommend you manually remove a Microsoft SQL Server
     Desktop Engine instance (MSDE) by using Add/Remove Programs in Control Panel, and so on, then reinstall again.
    There is a similar issue about SQL Server 2012 setup issue, you can refer to the following posts.

  • How to download SQL Server 2012 Standard Trial Version?

    Hello, 
    I would like to try Standard Edition of SQL Server 2012. Where I can download it?
    I followed this link www.microsoft.com/en-us/sqlserver/get-sql-server/try-it.aspx and downloaded and installed. But when I check in SQL Server Management Studio (Mangement Studio->Server->Properties->Generals->Product), it shows "Microsoft
    SQL Server Enterprise Evaluation (64-bit)".
    As I don't need Enterprise Edition for my project, I would like to test with Standard Edition for few days before purchasing.
    Please advise.
    Thanks in advanced.

    Hello,
    There is no edition specific to evaluation edition.Its same as enterprise but you can use it maximum for 6 months and you cnanot use it in production.Use below link for Eval edtn
    http://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/download/details.aspx?id=29066
    Now there is no standard evaluation edition.If you want to specifically test on Stand. edition you need to buy a license copy.But i guess you want to test some non enterprise features so you need to by stand for it.
    Can you tell me what you want to test specifically I will tell you whether stand or ent will make any differnce or not

  • How to Secure SQL SERVER 2012 Backup without using TDE or any thirdparty backup solution

    Hi Experts
    Actually I was using backup set password feature for MS SQL SERVER 2008 but it is dropped in new versions (2012 & 2014). Please suggest some options to making the backups secure without using TDE or any third party tools.

    Hi khalil_pak,
    The WITH PASSWORD feature didn't really encrypt your backup. It just made it difficult for someone to accidentally restore the backup when they were not allowed to. And as other post, the password option is weak and could be broken easily.
    The only true way to protect the data is to encrypt the data at the source by encrypting the database with
    TDE. Or you can choose to use
    cell-level encryption to encrypt sensitive data.
    Thanks,
