Install multiple version of SQL Server on a same machine, both with default instance?

We have an almost idle server (windows server 2008 R2) with SQL Server 2008 Enterprise with default instance. We would like to port all the data, install SQL Server 2012 developer edition and use it as testing server. Is that possible we still choose default
instance name on 2012 developer version? Do we have to shutdown or uninstall the 08 Enterprise? If we keep both versions running, does SQL server 2012 have to choose a named instance? Any suggestion would be appreciated.

There can only be a single default instance and multiple named instances.

Business One, Terminal Server, and SQL Server on the same machine

Hi,
We have a customer who has a machine with Win Server 2003 R2. They are using it as a Terminal Server with Business One for multiple users and as a SQL Server. The have memory leakage issues which they believe are caused by our add-on, which, when it fails, has over a gig of ram allocated to it. Our add-on was created using VB .NET 2005 and should be able to depend on the GC to prevent memory leaks. Is there something about this approach that is problematic? Should they have SQL Server on one machine and terminal server with Business One on a different machine?
Thanks,
Mike

we have many customers that have this situation. all on one server.
the only thing that i recommend is that the server has POWER !
4 Gigabyte RAM should be minimum and the server should have 2 quadcore processor. -> this results in 8 cores and enough power.
regards
David

Which version of sql server should i install in windows 8 pro 32bit?

i have installed sql server 2012 express x64 advanced edition.when i'm trying for setup it is showing a pop up window saying "compatibility problem please check this system requriments and contact software publisher" I have windows 8 pro 32 bit
OS.Please give me a solution for this problem.

you cannot install a x64 software on a 32 bit OS.
Download SQL 2012 express x86 advanced edition or Download SQL 2014 express x86 advanced edition
ENU\x86\SQLEXPRADV_x86_ENU.exe
Regards, Ashwin Menon My Blog - http:\\sqllearnings.com
Ashwin this is not correct :). You can install standalone 32 bit SQL Server on 64 bit OS. This is not supported for cluster setup. This environment is specifically called WOW64. As per
Books online doc
WOW64 Support:
WOW64 (Windows 32-bit on Windows 64-bit) is a feature of 64-bit editions of Windows that enables 32-bit applications to run natively in 32-bit mode. Applications function in 32-bit mode, even though the underlying operating system is a 64-bit operating system.
On a supported 64-bit operating system, SQL Server 32-bit edition can be installed to the WOW64 32-bit subsystem of a 64-bit server. WOW64 is supported only for stand-alone instances of SQL Server. WOW64 is not supported for SQL Server failover cluster installations.
For SQL Server 64-bit edition installations on supported 64-bit operating systems, Management Tools are supported in WOW64. For more information about supported operating systems, select an edition of SQL Server 2014 from the sections below.
Yona,
As suggested you should install 64 bit version of SQL Server on 64 bit machine

Does a version of SQL Server come with VS 2013 Professional?

I have purchased a new laptop with Windows 8 and would now like to install VS 2013 Professional on it so that I can upgrade a couple of Windows applications (currently on a different computer) to the newer VS version. All these applications are using/connecting
to an SQL 2008 Database. I'd like to upgrade the SQL Database Server by installing the newer version on this laptop as well. Does VS 2013 Professional install a version of SQL Server? Do I have to purchase SQL Server 2012 separately? I know I can install SQL
Sever 2012 Express but would really prefer the full version of SQL Server. If I purchase VS 2013 Professional with MSDN subscription would that give me a full version of SQL Server to install?
Thanks
Dweezil

>Does VS 2013 Professional install a version of SQL Server?
Yes. It installs
SQL Server 2012 Express Edition LocalDb, which is small install of the SQL Server engine that runs on-demand in your session. Visual Studio includes
SQL Server Data Tools, which has all the tooling you need to building and maintaining SQL Server database applications.
You can additionally install the service-based version of SQL Server Express Edition, and SQL Server Management Studio Express Edition. This will give you a traditional service-based database engine and stand-alone management tool, just like the other
editions of SQL Server.
>If I purchase VS 2013 Professional with MSDN subscription would that give me a full version of SQL Server to install?
Yes. Visual Studio 2013 Professional with MSDN gives you full SQL Server under MSDN licensing.
http://www.visualstudio.com/en-us/products/msdn-subscriptions-vs#SKUDetailList_1
You can also
buy a SQL Server Developer Edition as a stand-alone tool. Developer Edition is identical to Enterprise Edition, except licensed for development purposes.

SP1 to R2 Upgrade - The installed Version of SQL Server is not supported for the operational database

Hello,
Am trying to upgrade a SCOM SP1 environment to SCOM R2( 3 MGT servers, 1 GW and 2 Web console boxes )
The prerequisites are failing and it is stating the following ;
Operational Database SQL Version Check - The installed Version of SQL Server is not supported for the operational database
Data Warehouse SQL Version Check - The installed Version of SQL Server is not supported for the data warehouse
The SQL servers are running SQL 2012 SP1 64 Enterprise, which is compatible.
All other pre-upgrade tasks have been done.
Help appreciated!

I'm having the exact same issue, I believe. I think that Tubble has problem with SCOM 2012. Not 2007.
I've checked the compatibility list for both SCOM 2012 SP1 and R2. All newer Windows Server and SQL versions are supported. We're running the SQL 2012 SP1 x64 Standard edition on a Windows Server 2012 Standard.
I even tried to move the database from SQL 2012 to an older SQL 2008 R2, but that's not supported either. Only upgrading. Not downgrading.
So, I started checking the opsMgrSetupWizard.log file for clues. And the error message was there as well. But the reason why it says not supported is that it can't get the info about the OS version, so I guess it assumes the OS version is to low. The RPC
service can not be reached.

So, in our case this was just a FW that was blocking some high ports between management server and SQL. I believe TCP port 135 also needs to be open.
Let's hope this fixes your issue as well, Tubble.
Have a great day!

Which service pack should I install if I have SQL Server 2012 RTM version 11.0.2100.60

I read the recommendation "SQL Server 2012 RTM is no longer in mainstream support. If you wish to continue getting fixes, you should absolutely plan on migrating to the SP2 branch;" from
http://blogs.sqlsentry.com/team-posts/latest-builds-sql-server-2012/. I am not quite sure how I can migrate from RTM to SP2. Thank you in advance.

Hi,
Yes RTM version of SQL Server 2012 is not supported. You have to apply SQL Server 2012 SP2 below link will help you in doing it

Do I need to install x64 and x86 versions of SQL Server 2012 SP2?

Hi,
I have installed x64 version of SQL 2012 SP2. Do I need to install x86 version of SP2 as well?
(I have some x86 components installed as well that came with various things like SSDT-BI and/or Visual Studio installations.)
When I click "SQL Server Installation Center (64-bit).lnk" shortcut and run "Installed SQL Server features discovery report", it says "Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Setup Discovery Report".
When I click "SQL Server Installation Center.lnk" shortcut and run same, it says "Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Service Pack 1 Setup Discovery Report".
Both reports say the same thing: the installed version is 11.2.5058.0, which is SP2.

Hello,
No you dont have to install X86 version
SQL server 2012 installable will install SQL server as per process architecture of your machine. If it is 32 bit machine it will install 32 bit version and for 64 bit it will install 64 bit version. installable has facility for both
Even on 64 bit machines some files, which always work in 32 bit compatibilyt mode, will be installed as well andand they go to SQL server (X86) folder. BIDS, SSIS always by default works in 32 bit compatibility mode.
If report says version as 11.2.5058 it means component is patched to SP2

Restrictions on Installing SSMS and SSDT (SQL Server 2012) on multiple clients

Our company has a license for SQL Server 2012 (either Standard or Enterprise, I'm not sure which). We need to set up several client machines to manage the server and want to install SSMS on those machines. In addition, a couple users need
to be able to edit SSIS packages using SSDT.
My question. Using the SQL Server 2012 license we own, are we free to install SSMS, Books Online, and SSDT on any computer in our company, without any additional cost? We won't be installing any other SQL Server component on those machines.
If someone can post a link to the Microsoft web site that verifies that, I would appreciate it.
Russel Loski, MCT, MCSE Data Platform/Business Intelligence. Twitter: @sqlmovers; blog: www.sqlmovers.com

Hi,
According ‘Licensing SQL Server 2012 Components’ section in Microsoft
SQL
Server 2012 Licensing Guide:
Management tools and other software identified as additional or supplemental software—such as product documentation, client connectivity tools, software add-ins, and SDKs—can generally be distributed and run on any number of devices for use with a licensed
instance of SQL Server software. Refer to the Volume Licensing PUR for a list of additional software components provided with SQL Server 2012.
Hope the information helps.

Pointers for upgrading to new version of SQL Server?

We're running SAP Business One 2007 A (8.00.181) SP:00 PL:49
At the moment we have a dedicated server computer to host the SQL databases for this product. The server computer is 32-bit Windows Server 2003. The database server is SQL Server 2005 32-bit. This server was purchased in fall 2006 and had a fast disk subsystem for its day: 5x 15K UltraSCSI hard drives in RAID5.
We have several company databases, some of which are in the 12 - 13GB range in size. There are occasions where two or more of these large-ish databases may be in use simultaneously. Since SQL Server on the current server limits itself to 2GB RAM usage, I suspect there is a lot of paging to disk when multiple company databases are open, with a major hit on performance.
Windows Server 2003 goes end-of-life on July 15, 2015. SQL Server 2005 end-of-life is April 14, 2016. As part of a refresh of company IT infrastructure, we're considering replacing various physical servers with virtual servers. Ideally, we'd like to migrate the backend to a current version of SQL Server on a current Windows server OS, and also move to a 64-bit platform so we can allocate more RAM to SQL Server. We may also host virtual hard drive file(s) on SSD if/where that makes sense.
What I've found so far:
All the current SAP databases are Compatibility Level 90 (native SQL Server 2005)
The latest version of SQL Server that supports Compatibility Level 90 is SQL Server 2012. SQL Server 2014 drops support for 90. I assume it's a bad idea to change the database compatibility level?
If for any reason we have to stick with SQL Server 2005, the latest version of Windows that supports that is Server 2008 R2. That's not ideal, since in a perfect world we would want all virtual machines running Server 2012 R2
Moving to a 64-bit version of SQL Server requires a so-called "side-by-side" upgrade, it's not possible to use a SQL Server upgrade wizard
The VAR we used to install and configure the product in 2006 is no longer in business so we'd like (if possible) to do this ourselves. I'm a software developer familiar with client-server development, SSMS etc. so I feel reasonably confident in undertaking a side-by-side upgrade.
So, assuming we'd like to migrate the backend to 64-bit SQL Server 2012, can anyone offer any pointers, experiences, or things to watch out for?
There are also some services running on the current server computer, which I'm assuming will also need to be migrated:
SAP Business One Integration Service
SAP Business One License Manager 2007
SAP Business One Messaging Service
I get the feeling other people may have asked similar questions before, but I couldn't find any relevant posts.
Thanks in advance for any help.

You probably need to do an installer file clean up for Apple Software Update with the Microsoft Installer Cleanup Utility.
Here is a method for removal and clean up of iTunes and related programs. You might get away with just doing the Apple Software Update part rather than the whole thing. I would try just removing and cleaning ASU first.
Download a fresh copy of iTunes and the stand alone version of Quicktime (the one without iTunes)
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/win.html
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Download and install Microsoft Installer cleanup utility, there are instructions on the page as well as the download. Note that what you download is the installer not the program – you have to run it to install the program.
To run the program – All Programs>>Windows Install Cleanup
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301/
Now use the following method to remove iTunes and its components:
XP
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1925
Vista
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923
*If you hit a problem with one of the uninstalls don't worry*, carry on with the deleting of files and folders as directed in the method.
When you get to deleting Quicktime files in the system32 folder as advised in the method, you can delete any file or folder with Quicktime in the name.
Restart your PC.
Run the Microsoft Installer Cleanup Utility. (Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up)
Remove any references you find to the programs you removed - strictly speaking you only need to worry about those programs where the uninstall failed.
If you don’t see an entry for one of the programs that did not uninstall, look out for blank entries or numeric entries that look like version numbers e.g. 7.x for Quicktime or 1.x for Bonjour.
restart your PC
Install the stand alone Quicktime and check that it works.
If it does, install iTunes.

Upgrade OM 2012 to SP1 Beta - Version of SQL Server for the Operational Database and the Data Warehouse

Hello,
When I try to verify the prerequisites to upgrade my SCOM 2012 UR2 Platform to SP1 Beta, I have these errors :
The installed version of SQL Server is not supported for the operational database.
The installed version of SQL Server is not supported for the data warehouse.
But when I execute this query Select @@version on my MSSQL Instance, the result is :
Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 (SP1) - 10.50.2500.0 (X64) Jun 17 2011 00:54:03 Copyright (c) Microsoft Corporation Standard Edition (64-bit) on Windows NT 6.1 <X64> (Build 7600: ) (Hypervisor)
But
here, we can see that :
Microsoft SQL Server: SQL Server SQL 2008 R2 SP1, SQL Server 2008 R2 SP2, SQL Server 2012, SQL Server 2012 SP1, are supported.
Do I need to pach my MSSQL Server with a specific cumulative update package ?
Thanks.

These are the requirements for your SQL:
SQL Server 2008 and SQL Server 2012 are available in both Standard and Enterprise editions. Operations Manager will function with both editions.
Operations Manager does not support hosting its databases or SQL Server Reporting Services on a 32-bit edition of SQL Server.
Using a different version of SQL Server for different Operations Manager features is not supported. The same version should be used for all features.
SQL Server collation settings for all databases must be one of the following: SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS, French_CI_AS, Cyrillic_General_CI_AS, Chinese_PRC_CI_AS, Japanese_CI_AS, Traditional_Spanish_CI_AS, or Latin1_General_CI_AS. No other collation
settings are supported.
The SQL Server Agent service must be started, and the startup type must be set to automatic.
Side-by-side installation of System Center Operations Manager 2007 R2 reporting and System Center 2012 Service Pack 1 (SP1), Operations Manager reporting on the same server is not supported.
The db_owner role for the operational database must be a domain account. If you set the SQL Server Authentication to Mixed mode, and then try to add a local SQL Server login on the operational database, the Data Access service will not be able to start.
For information about how to resolve the issue, see
System Center Data Access Service Start Up Failure Due to SQL Configuration Change
If you plan to use the Network Monitoring features of System Center 2012 – Operations Manager, you should move the tempdb database to a separate disk that has multiple spindles. For more information, see
tempdb Database.
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj656654.aspx#BKMK_RBF_OperationsDatabase
Check the SQL server agent service and see whether it is set to automatic AND started. This got me confused at my first SP1 install as well. This is not done by default...
It's doing common things uncommonly well that brings succes.

Install SCVMM2008 error in sql server

Hi,
I am new to SCVMM, I tried install the SCVMM2008 and I get the error:
I am sure my sql server version is 2012. Why the error message is about sql server 2008? How do I fix it. Please help me.
Thanks

VMM 2008 does not support using SQL Server 2012 for the VMM database. You need to use a version of VMM that supports using SQL Server 2012 for the VMM database, such as System Center 2012 R2 Virtual Machine Manager. The following pages have more details
about the supported versions of SQL Server for different versions of VMM:
