How to manage windows cluster on windows server 2008 R2

Hi I want to know how to properly shutdown or stop windows cluster with out failover or failing it.
I have successfully created windows cluster on win 2008 R2 sp1 using vmware with starwind software for SAN storage.
Now when I shut down or stop cluster service on node1 it failsover and shows critical errors fine.ok... I tried to destroy and clean up cluster using cmd commands.Forcecleanup both nodes with cmd commands.it was successful.
Later I recreated san storage with target and initiator configuration using starwind without any issue.
I Reinstalled FC service on both the nodes restarted vmnodes.I cheked all the firewall were disable.and machines able to ping well..
Now when I tried to recreate new cluster it fails and gives different errors.AS Node1 was evicted from cluster,Another was Quoram was lost as no witness disk was found.
Also It did not show my cluster under FCM on Node2.I tried to add node Node2 but error saying Node2 is already in a cluster.
So I want to know how to manage windows cluster properly and manage it entries in active directory so that even after shutting/stopping the service/destroying cluster I do not need to do all over again.
I had to recreate all VMware from start and do AD setup and SAN storage again then only windows cluster got successfully created once again....................
I had to recreate all vmware nodes with FC sevice reinstalled and also recreate AD DS and DNS.

How to to make Cluster between two server 2012 Datacenter with share storage and Hyper-V role then install Exchange 2013 on each server datacenter then make DAG between Exchange servers

Dears,
I have IBM Flex server with built in storage,
HOW to to make Cluster between two server 2012 Datacenter with share storage and Hyper-V role then install Exchange 2013 on each server datacenter then make DAG between Exchange servers?
If there any prerequisites of the Share storage types ?and any configuration guide to deploy Cluster between two Server 2012 datacenter ?

Microsoft Failover Clusters require shared storage. If you wish to create a failover cluster with local storage, you need to use third party software to mirror the disks and present it to the hosts (siog.com, datacore.com, starwind.com). If you
use third party software, you will need to follow their instructions for configuring the environment.
Questions on how to configure Exchange environments are better asked in an Exchange forum.

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.

Error 18452 "Login failed. The login is from an untrusted domain and cannot be used with Windows authentication" on SQL Server 2008 R2 Enterprise Edition 64-bit SP2 clustered instance

Hi there,
I have a Windows 2008 R2 Enterprise x64 SP2 cluster which has 2 SQL Server 2008 R2 Enterprise Edition x64 SP2
instances.
A domain account "Domain\Login" is administrator on both physcial nodes and "sysadmin" on both SQL Server instances.
Currently both instances are running on same node.
While logging on to SQL Server instance 2 thru "Domain\Login" using "IP2,port2", I get error 18452 "Login failed. The login is from an untrusted domain and cannot be used with Windows authentication". This happened in the past
as well but issue resolved post insatllation of SQL Server 2008R2 SP2. This has re-occurred now. But it connects using 'SQLVirtual2\Instance2' without issue.
Same login with same rights is able to access Instance 1 on both 'SQLVirtual1\Instance1' and "IP1,port1" without any issue.
Please help resolve the issue.
Thanks,
AY

Hello,
I Confirm that I encountred the same problem when the first domain controller was dow !!
During a restarting of the first domain controller, i tried to failover my SQL Server instance to a second node, after that I will be able to authenticate SQL Server Login but Windows Login returns Error 18452 !
When the firts DC restart finishied restarting every thing was Ok !
The Question here : Why the cluster instance does'nt used the second DC ???

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:
TCP Provider, error: 0 - A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond.) (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 10060)
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.Data.SqlClient;
namespace sqlremoteconnection

// 192.168.1.101\SQLEXPRESS
// now, the configuration for remote access:
// activate SQL SERVER BROWSER - set it to start "automatic"; then START UP
// SQL Server Configuration Manager
// --> SQL SERVER BROWSER -> properties -> Service -> Start Mode -> automatic -> apply
// --> Log On -> Start -> Ok
            // netsh firewall set portopening protocol = TCP port = 1433 name = SQLPort mode = ENABLE scope = all profile = CURRENT

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

How to Migrate Stored procedure on Sql server 2008 to Oracle Database

Guys, I need help vey badly as I am new in this field.
Problem is that, I have to migrate stored procedure on Sql server 2008 to oracle Oracle database:
Whole scenario--
1. Sql Server 2008 application on Windows server (source machine)
2. I have to migrate 70 Stored Procedure
3. To Oracle Database on Linux machine (Target machine)
Any method (no problem)
Please, help me or give me any reference as I don't know which keyword is differ in both database.
Thanks in advance

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 store Invalid Dates in SQL Server 2008

Hi,
I have SQL Server 2008 and My table has start_Date and end_date column which is DATETIME datatype.
Somehow my table is having invalid dates which is lesser than 1753-01-01 00:00:00.0 range.
I want to know how this date get inserted in the SQL Server.
Thanks,

Can you post the DDL for that table together with a SELECT query and results demonstrating invalid data?
DECLARE @dt DATETIME = '1753-01-01 00:00:00.0';
-- Command(s) completed successfully.
DECLARE @dt DATETIME = '1752-01-01 00:00:00.0';

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')

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
Connection dbConn;
try {
Class.forName(driverName);
dbConn = DriverManager.getConnection(dbURL, userName, userPwd);
System.out.println("Connection Successful!"); //print Connection Successful! if connection establishes
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
A demonstration video from Youtube for you reference.

How to manage DNS in mac Lion Server

I just upgraded my Mac Mini Server from snow leapord to Mac OSX Lion Server, but in Server Admin, DNS is not displayed as a service.
Where you do you now manage DNS. The console contains messages that woudl seem to indicate that DNS did start up successfully.

Greetings,
You need to go here: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1419
The DNS server, which remains a part of the Server Admin, has been separated from the Server.
By the way, beware. I tried to to the Lion upgrade in place and the Server (not Server Admin) piece failed and after I installed Server Admin my DNS set got hosed. So I am now trying again using a clean install.
