Installing and configuring SQL server 2012 network options

Hello
I'm hoping someone here can help as i'm investigating deploying always on availability groups.
I have two out standing questions.
what network protocol is used for the Availability group synchronization (needed to check that our optimisation tools can work with it ) I believe it's just standard TCP/IP but if not can some one confirm.
can the SQL 2012 share a dark network with exchange?
I've been searching online but can't find the a solution.
thanks in advance

SQL is a service which normally uses either port 80 or 8080 and underline transport layer is TCP. The data transfer are done in XML. You can either setup the credentials using SQL or use a windows credential which uses Group Policies so you don't have
to use a connection statement with a Username and Password. It is automatically done under the hood like any remote windows connection. You can setup a database in SQL using a single windows credential password and then add users to the windows group
so you don't have to add each user to the database credentials.

  • 70-410 installing and configuring windows server 2012

    I know this exam goes as credit toward a windows server 2012 mcsa.  But, after passing it, will you be an mcp windows server 2012?  Or do you get any other designation from passing the test?

    You will have MCP, the next test will not get MCP unique for so you can download or view a page that contains all the tests you have passed (at the site
    microsoft.com/mcp)
    Of course after three tests you get MCSA, if you add two more will also receive MCSE.

  • Problem with Installing and Configuring MS Server 2012 Essentials trial and MS Server 2012 Standard trial

    My name is John Grace.  I have been an MS customer for years.  Never before in my experiences with MS up to this point have I experienced such POOR product support.  Your pre-sales agents have no knowledge to offer with pre-sales config or
    install issues, your support personnel are trained not to provide any reasonable help with even minor questions and concerns helping to make sure your trial experiences are progress and successful, your product support Mgrs show lack luster concern if you
    need some technical direction.  The first thing that is asked is do you have a support contract or credit card for this session.  Now, if I am evaluating products a support contract should not be necessary as you should want customers to have good
    outcomes with their trials.
    I have been trying to configure test servers with the above mentioned products for the past 6 days with no success.  Each install is different and the configurations some times work and some times they don't.  I reach out for help in your forums,
    etc., and am still at square one.
    This frustrating and breeds a lack of confidence in your organization.  When Bill Gates was in charge I experienced none of the nonsense today. 
    I have identified bugs and issues to your product teams and they gladly accept these.  But when help is needed...it is send us an email type attitude.  I have 8 8 core servers running  windows 2008 server R2 slated for upgrading to windows
    2012 server, and more after that.  If I don't get the trial software to work, the upgrades are terminated.
    Please give me some help or you will loose me as a customer, and customers that I installed systems for.

    Hi again Alan,
    Thanks for the reply, i have however not been able to find any viable hotfix from MS addressing this problem so far. I only found the QFE for 2008 R2, but this is not applicable in my enviroment.
    Sadly, we are experiencing the same issue with the 2008 R2 server as print server now. So the problem seems to be with the 2012 R2 RDS servers.
    We have been able to narrow it down to a probable cause though:
    The issue seems to be the cause of Client Side Rendering, even if it is disabled on the shared printers. We are seeing heavy bloating in the registry:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Print\Providers\Client Side Rendering Print Provider
    The same printers are listed multiple times in subkeys for each user-SID.
    The print server is listed twice under the 'Servers' key, once with just the hostname and once with the fqdn. Benath these two many of the printers are also listed multiple times.
    Consequences are that printers are showing as clones for the users and they cannot set them as default printer. If they remove the printer manually, it just reappears. Setting a delete on the shared printer through GPP does not work either.
    The only manual workaround we have found working is to delete the entire "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Print\Providers\Client Side Rendering Print Provider" key on the
    terminal server in question, and then restart the print spooler. This fixes the problem for the user, but once they start logging off and on again, the bloating of the registry is at it once more - and the problems following with it.
    In an enviroment with 70+ printers and 15 RDS servers, spread on 3 different farms, it's not a good solution though.
    Any ideas?

  • [Forum FAQ] How to install and configure Windows Server Essentials Experience role on Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard via PowerShell locally and remotely

    As we all know,
    the Windows Server Essentials Experience role is available in Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard and Windows Server 2012 R2 Datacenter. We can add the Windows Server
    Essentials Experience role in Server Manager or via Windows PowerShell.
    In this article, we introduce the steps to install and configure Windows
    Server Essentials Experience role on Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard via PowerShell locally and remotely. For better analyze, we divide this article into two parts.
    Before installing the Windows Server Essentials Experience Role, please use
    Get-WindowsFeature
    PowerShell cmdlet to ensure the Windows Server Essentials Experience (ServerEssentialsRole) is available. (Figure 1)
    Figure 1.
    Part 1: Install Windows Server Essentials Experience role locally
    Add Windows Server Essentials Experience role
    Run Windows PowerShell as administrator, then type
    Add-WindowsFeature ServerEssentialsRole cmdlet to install Windows Server Essentials Experience role. (Figure 2)
    Figure 2.
    Note: It is necessary to configure Windows Server Essentials Experience (Post-deployment Configuration). Otherwise, you will encounter following issue when opening Dashboard.
    (Figure 3)
    Figure 3.
      2. Configure Windows Server Essentials Experience role
    (1)  In an existing domain environment
    Firstly, please join the Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard computer to the existing domain through the path:
    Control Panel\System\Change Settings\”Change…”\Member of. (Figure 4)
    Figure 4.
    After that, please install Windows Server Essentials Experience role as original description. After installation completed, please use the following command to configure Windows
    Server Essentials:
    Start-WssConfigurationService –Credential <Your Credential>
    Note: The type of
    Your Credential should be as: Domain-Name\Domain-User-Account.
    You must be a member of the Enterprise Admin group and Domain Admin group in Active Directory when using the command above to configure Windows Server Essentials. (Figure 5)
    Figure 5.
    Next, you can type the password for the domain account. (Figure 6)
    Figure 6.
    After setting the credential, please type “Y” to continue to configure Windows Server Essentials. (Figure 7)
    Figure 7.
    By the way, you can use
    Get-WssConfigurationStatus
    PowerShell cmdlet to
    get the status of the configuration of Windows Server Essentials. Specify the
    ShowProgress parameter to view a progress indicator. (Figure 8)
    Figure 8.
    (2) In a non-domain environment
    Open PowerShell (Run as Administrator) on the Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard and type following PowerShell cmdlets: (Figure 9)
    Start-WssConfigurationService -CompanyName "xxx" -DNSName "xxx" -NetBiosName "xxx" -ComputerName "xxx” –NewAdminCredential $cred
    Figure 9.
    After you type the commands above and click Enter, you can create a new administrator credential. (Figure 10)
    After creating the new administrator credential, please type “Y” to continue to configure Windows Server Essentials. (Figure 11)
    After a reboot, all the configurations will be completed and you can open the Windows Server Essentials Dashboard without any errors. (Figure 12)
    Figure 12.

    Part 2: Install and configure Windows Server Essentials Experience role remotely
    In an existing domain environment
    In an existing domain environment, please use following command to provide credential and then add Server Essentials Role: (Figure 13)
    Add-WindowsFeature -Name ServerEssentialsRole
    -ComputerName xxx -Credential DomainName\DomainAccount
    Figure 13.
    After you enter the credential, it will start install Windows Server Essentials role on your computer. (Figure 14)
    Figure 14.
    After the installation completes, it will return the result as below:
    Figure 15.
    Next, please use the
    Enter-PSSession
    cmdlet and provide the correct credential to start an interactive session with a remote computer. You can use the commands below:
    Enter-PSSession –ComputerName
    xxx –Credential DomainName\DomainAccount (Figure 16)
    Figure 16.
    Then, please configure Server Essentials Role via
    Add-WssConfigurationService cmdlet and it also needs to provide correct credential. (Figure 17)
    Figure 17.
    After your credential is accepted, it will update and prepare your server. (Figure 18)
    Figure 18.
    After that, please type “Y” to continue to configure Windows Server Essentials. (Figure 19)
    Figure 19.
    2. In a non-domain environment
    In my test environment, I set up two computers running Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard and use Server1 as a target computer. The IP addresses for the two computers are as
    below:
    Sevrer1: 192.168.1.54
    Server2: 192.168.1.53
    Run
    Enable-PSRemoting –Force on Server1. (Figure 20)
    Figure 20.
    Since there is no existing domain, it is necessary to add the target computer (Server1) to a TrustedHosts list (maintained by WinRM) on Server 2. We can use following command
    to
    add the TrustedHosts entry:
    Set-Item WSMan:\localhost\Client\TrustedHosts IP-Address
    (Figure 21)
    Figure 21.
    Next, we can use
    Enter-PSSession
    cmdlet and provide the correct credential to start an interactive session with the remote computer. (Figure 22)
    Figure 22.
    After that, you can install Windows Server Essentials Experience Role remotely via Add-WindowsFeature ServerEssentialsRole cmdlet. (Figure 23)
    Figure 23.
    From figure 24, we can see that the installation is completed.
    Figure 24.
    Then you can use
    Start-WssConfigurationService cmdlet to configure Essentials Role and follow the steps in the first part (configure Windows Server Essentials Experience in a non-domain environment) as the steps would be the same.
    The figure below shows the status of Windows Server Essentials.
    Figure
    25.
    Finally, we have successfully configured Windows Server Essentials on Server1. (Figure 26)
    Figure 26.

  • Installing and configuring Exchange Server 2013 on mobile boradband

    I'm trying to configure Exchange Server 2013 on my test server. But I have a mobile boradband connection for Internet. Therefore, I don't have port forwarding and a static IP. Since I'm a beginner, I want to know whether I can install and configure exchange
    server on my machine or whether there are workarounds for this. Thanks. 

    Hi,
    If you just want to work internally, I suggest build AD and DNS server on your lab and give it a static IP.
    If you want to work both internally and externally, I suggest publish your DNS.

  • 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.

  • After installed SP1 for SQL Server 2012, can no longer export to csv

    After installing SP1 today via Windows Update, I am no longer able to export data to csv using the SQL Server Import and Export wizard. I get the following error message:
    "Column information for the source and the destination data could not be retrieved, or the data types of source columns were not mapped correctly to those available on the destination provider."
    "Column "col1": Source data type "200" was not found in the data type mapping file."...
    (The above line repeats for each column)
    The work-around I have to do is to manually map each column in the "Edit Mappings..." option from the "Configure Flat File Destination" page of the wizard. This is an extreme inconvenience to have to have to edit the mappings and change
    each column to "string [DT_STR]" type from "byte stream [DT_BYTES]" type each time I want to export to csv. I did not have to do this before installing SP1; it worked perfectly for months with hundreds of exports prior to this update and
    no need to modify mapping.

    I am running Windows 7 64-bit, SQL Server 2012 Express edition. Again, just yesterday from Windows Update, I installed SQL Server 2012 Service Pack 1 (KB2674319), followed by Update Rollup for SQL Server 2012 Service Pack 1 (KB2793634). This situation was
    not occurring before these updates were installed, and I noticed it immediately after they were installed (and of course I restarted my computer after the updates).
    In SSMS I just now created a test DB and table to provide a step-by-step with screenshots.
    Here is the code I ran to create the test DB and table:
    CREATE DATABASE testDB;
    GO
    USE testDB;
    GO
    CREATE TABLE testTable
    id int,
    lname varchar(50),
    fname varchar(50),
    address varchar(50),
    city varchar(50),
    state char(2),
    dob date
    GO
    INSERT INTO testTable VALUES
    (1,'Smith','Bob','123 Main St.','Los Angeles','CA','20080212'),
    (2,'Doe','John','555 Rainbow Ln.','Chicago','IL','19580530'),
    (3,'Jones','Jane','999 Somewhere Pl.','Washington','DC','19651201'),
    (4,'Jackson','George','111 Hello Cir.','Dallas','TX','20010718');
    GO
    SELECT * FROM testTable;
    Results look good:
    id    lname    fname    address    city    state    dob
    1    Smith    Bob    123 Main St.    Los Angeles    CA    2008-02-12
    2    Doe    John    555 Rainbow Ln.    Chicago    IL    1958-05-30
    3    Jones    Jane    999 Somewhere Pl.    Washington    DC    1965-12-01
    4    Jackson    George    111 Hello Cir.    Dallas    TX    2001-07-18
    In Object Explorer, I right-click on the [testDB] database, choose "Tasks", then "Export Data..." and the SQL Server Import and Export Wizard appears. I click Next to leave all settings as-is on the "Choose a Data Source" page, then on the "Choose a Destination"
    page, under the "Destination" drop-down I choose "Flat File Destination" then browse to the desktop and name the file "table_export.csv" then click Next. On the "Specify Table Copy or Query" page I choose "Write a query to specify the data to transfer" then
    click Next. I type the following SQL statement:
    SELECT * FROM testTable;
    When clicking the "Parse" button I get the message "This SQL statement is valid."
    On to the next page, "Configure Flat File Destination" I try leaving the defaults then click Next. This is where I am getting the error message (see screenshot below):
    Then going to the "Edit Mappings..." option on the "Configure Flat File Destination" page, I see that all columns which were defined as varchar in the table are showing as type "byte stream [DT_BYTES]", size "0", the state column which is defined as char(2)
    shows correctly however with type "string [DT_STR]", size "2" (see screenshow below):
    So what I have to do is change the type for the lname, fname, address and city columns to "string [DT_STR]", then I am able to proceed with the export successfully. Again, this just started happening after installing these updates. As you can imagine, this
    is very frustrating, as I do a lot of exports from many tables, with a lot more columns than this test table.
    Thanks for your help.

    According to your description, you want to configure a scale-out deployment with different edition SQL Server. Right?
    In Reporting Services, if we want to configure such a cluster environment for load balancing, the SQL Server on each server should be the same edition. Please refer to the links below:

  • How to install and configure J2EE server in ECC 6.0

    hi,
    I created a web service in ECC and I want to test it via SOAMANAGER but when I clik on open web service for selected naviagator binfing it gives me an error
    wsnavigator call WAS TERMINATED Because The Corresponding Service is not available.
    I searched the forum, apparently it is because the J2EE server is not configured
    thank you for your help

    Try this-----
    Setting Up a Connection to a J2EE Server for the Web Services Navigator
    To be able to use the Web Service Navigator to test a Web service, you need to set up a connection to a J2EE server, because the Web Service Navigator runs on the Java stack.
    Procedure
    Go to the Technical Administration tab.
    Choose Global System Settings.
    Choose the Web Services Navigator tab.
    Choose Edit / Display.
    Specify a host name and a port number.
    If you are working with a J2EE engine with SAP NetWeaver 2004 or 7.0, select J2EE engine is 6.40 / 7.0.
    If this option is not selected, the system assumes that you are working with a J2EE engine with version 7.10 or later.
    Save.
    Setting Up the Connection to the Services Registry
    To create a connection between the provider system and the Services Registry, perform the following steps for each consumer.
    From the SOA Manager main screen, go to the Technical Administration tab.
    Choose Global System Settings.
    Go to the Services Registry tab.
    Choose New to create a new connection.
    Note
    To change the settings of an existing connection, choose Edit. To delete an existing connection, Choose Delete.
    End of the note.
    Specify a Services Registry.
    The Services Registry name has to be written as a single word, for example, ERP_REGISTRY.
    To make this the primary Services Registry, select Primary.
    Each time a provider is configured, its endpoints are automatically published to the primary Services Registry.
    Choose Next.
    Choose a proxy class to use for communication with the Services Registry.
    You can choose either of the following:
    CO_SERVICES_REGISTRY_FLAT_SI
    The recommended consumer proxy to configure the connection to the Services Registry. CO_SERVICES_REGISTRY_FLAT_SI is the interface between the ABAP back-end system and the Services Registry system, and contains the appropriate authentication information.
    CO_ESREGISTRY_WSSI
    This consumer proxy was used in previous versions.
    The service path is determined automatically based on the proxy class name.
    Specify a logical port.
    Use uppercase characters for the logical port name.
