Lync Setup and SQL Shared Instance Issues

I'll try to make this short and sweet.
We are running a shared instance with non-standard port set up for our new deployment of Lync 2013.  When setting up the SQL server stores I messed up and didn't put the FQDN but it still allowed me to create the database via power shell and SQL aliases. 
I wanted to make it right so I changed it to the FQDN, same server but with .domain added in.  When I went to publish the topology I received a WMI error: 
Error: An error occurred: "Microsoft.Rtc.Management.Deployment.DeploymentException" "Cannot determine where to install database files because Windows Management
Instrumentation on the database server is unavailable from your computer or user account. To continue, you can resolve this issue, or you can specify where you want to install the files."
This can be replicated by attempting to install the database from the topology builder with automatic settings.  Using default settings:
Error: An error occurred:"System.IO.IOException" "The network path was not found.
I realize that that database has been installed but Lync Topology stated that it needed to be done again since I changed the FQDN. 
Running the command in powershell: Test-CsDatabase –ConfiguredDatabases –SQLServerFQDN *sqlserver fqdn here*, it comes up with succeeded on the following
databases: RTCXds, RTCShared RGSConfig, and RGSDyn.  It fails on CPSDyn database due to “Login Failed.”
My main question is are Lync deployments supported on SQL Shared instances that use the Default instance with a non-standard port? 
I'm elbow deep in powershell commands, heh, but what I want to know is what ones I should be running before I find out there is a database problem the hard way.  Help and insight is greatly appreciated as Lync is unfamiliar territory for me. 
Thanks.

Hi,
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg425818.aspx
If you are using the SQL Server default instance for any database when deploying Lync Server 2013, the following firewall rule requirements are used to help ensure communication from the Front End pool to the SQL Server default instance.
TCP   1433  Inbound to SQL Server
In addition, the SQL default instance does not use SQL Browser for discovery.

  • Lync 2013 and SQL 2012 on the same server

    Hi,
    I'm in the process of migrating Lync 2010 to Lync 2013.  I have a clean install of Windows Server 2012 R2.  Is it possible to install Lync 2013 and SQL 2012 on the same server or does it have to be on separate servers.
    Thanks
    P

    Configure Separated SQL Server to use in an Enterprise deployment of Lync Server. Standard Edition servers use a collocated SQL Server Express version of SQL Server that is right sized for the workloads of a Standard Edition server.

  • Project Pro 2013 client Deployment with Lync 2010 and Team Explorer Excel Issues Following

    Current machines are Office 2010 SP1 or SP2 32-bit
    Just deployed Project 2013 Pro and Std to the existing machines that had Project 2010 Pro or Std.  We selected the full install since people use integration into different tools.
    Results:
    lync 2010 64-bit when attending a meeting prompted user to start using and download the Lync Web Component, which breaks features such as muting, etc.  
    A repair sent to the workstations for Lync 2010 64-bit fixed that.
    Team Explorer 2012 Export to excel from queries gives error Unable to cast COM object of type 'Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.ApplicationClass' to interface type 'Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel._Application'. This operation failed because
    the QueryInterface call on the COM component for the interface with IID '{000208D5-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}' failed due to the following error: The interface is unknown. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x800706B5). 
    Repair of Team Explorer, Office, Test Manager 2012, etc did not assist.  if we go into excel and connect to TFS, we can then retrieve the query data.  Just not from TFS exporting to excel.  Had to unload Project 2013, repair Office 2010
    and rebooted with project off the machine and now it works.   It seems maybe the setup with the shared features and Office tools are breaking something?  We need the ability for VBA and .net functionality, but what could be breaking this?

    Hi,
    Your environment will support 32 bit of Project professional 2013 (x86) as you have Windows and Office of (X86).
    You try to modify registry then you wont face issue.
     The issue when you hit a "1653" is that Windows
    Installer "DisableRollback" is set. Office 2013 requires that "rollback" be enabled. If you are getting a "1653"
    error in your logs as Ken did then the solution is to delete the "DisableRollback" (or set to '0') at the following registry keys:
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Installer
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Installer
     these are the issues I've seen:
    Scheduler service was stopped. At a cmd window typing "net start schedule" resolves the problem.
    CMD.exe was customized via the following registry key. Solution was to temporarily disable the customization by changing autorun value to autorun_old. 
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Command Processor
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Command Processor
    Permission issues - seems some custom permissions affected Ingram's install which he explained in his previous post.
    Environment variable "ComSpec" had been modified (semicolon added). Fix was to remove the added semicolon (there should be no semicolon).
    The way to identify you are hitting this specific issue is if in the %temp%\OfficeSetup.log there is a mention of "Office64MUI.msi" failing to install with return value of 1603
    If you want to enable verbose logging via the following key, rerun your failed install, and collect all the setup and MSI* logs that will give more information.
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Installer]
    "logging"= "voicewarmup"

  • SharePoint 2010 and SQL Server 2012 issue

    Hi,
    I have SharePoint 2010 integrated with SQL Server 2008 R2 in my machine. I wanted to use Power View feature, so I went for SQL Server 2012 installation. Now when I try to create the SQL Server Reporting service service application, it says, this feature
    is not supported by current version of database.
    Please let me know how to fix the issue. Do I need to reinstall SharePoint 2010 once again using SQL Server 2012 ?
    thanks

    The only requirements for SSRS Integrated mode/PowerView are that you're using SharePoint Enterprise and SQL Enterprise/BI and that SharePoint be installed and joined to the farm on the server where you're also installing SSRS.
    You need to reconfigure your sharepoint farm farm to use SQL server 2012

  • Database Adapter and SQL Server procedure issue

    Hello,
    I am using Jdev 11.1.1.7.0 and SQL Server 2005.
    In the Database Adapter configuration wizard, Specify Stored Procedure step, I choose the “GEACupax” schema and got the following error after a click on “Procedure Browse” button:
    com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerException: Invalid object name 'GEACUPAX.INFORMATION_SCHEMA.SCHEMATA'.
    The command Database Adapter tried to execute was:
    (from jdev log:) select schema_name from GEACUPAX.INFORMATION_SCHEMA.SCHEMATA order by schema_name;
    Note, the schema name has changed to uppercase. I think that is the problem. If I try this query in SQLDeveloper, it returns the same error. I can fix it changing the schema name to “GEACupax”. The case matters.
    Any ideas?
    Leandro.

    Vijay,
    Thanks for you reply.
    I figure out a related bug:
    Bug 12859472: Cannot browse store procedure in case-sensitive MS SQL Database
    There are two possible workarounds:
    1. Use a database name with capital letters
    2. Do not use stored procedures, but access the tables directly.
    The notes on the Bug ticket describes that the issue would be scheduled to be fixed in PS7 which is 11.1.1.8.
    Cheers!

  • OraOledb, Linked Servers and SQL Server 2005 issues

    Some issues I've come across when using SQL Server 2005 (and SQL Server Express 2005), the OraOLEDB provider (10.2.0.1) and a linked Oracle database (8.1.7.4.0 64-bit)
    1) You must set the OraOledb.Oracle\AllowInProcess value to 1 to allow the OraOledb provider to run in SQL Server's process. Without doing this I receive an 'unspecified error' from the OLE DB provider when attempting to run a query
    2) When running a ' select * ' query across a linked server using the provider, I receive the following error: Msg 9803, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
    Invalid data for type "numeric". I can, however, select all of the columns by name and the query completes (no error). Sometimes the 'select *' query returns a few rows before the error, sometimes it doesn't. The Microsoft Provider for Oracle does not have this problem

    Okay... I've got a Win2K3 Std Ed server (x64) running 64-bit SQL Server 2005 Enterprise Edition. I've installed the Oracle 10g 10.2.1 full client and admin tools, added two named services via the NetConfig assistant, and successfully set up (and tested) a connection via the ODBC Administrator to an Oracle database.
    Now... when I try to create a new connection manager in SQL Server 2005 Integration Services, the OLEDB provider for Oracle can't be found, and when I try to manually add an underlying OLEDB connection to the database, SQL Server reports:
    Test connection failed because of an error in initializing provider. The 'OraOLEDB.Oracle.1' provider is not registered on the local machine.
    Does anyone know what I need to do to see my ODBC Server data connections in SQL Server 2005 (64 bit)? I don't have this issue on my 32-bit SQL Server 2005 servers.

  • Lync Application and Desktop Sharing - Restrict remote access/Telnet

    I have a customer and they are paranoid about using Lync application/desktop sharing which could potentially enable remote users from getting into their internal IT systems.  They are asking if we could restrict application/desktop sharing specifically
    for appls with remote access capabilities (e.g. Telnet, etc.)? Anyone could share any information relating to this? Thanks!

    We can’t do this with Lync Server natively. Maybe you want to vote idea at

  • OraOledb for 64-bit, Linked Servers and SQL Server 2005 issues

    Our environment is : SQL Server 2005, Windows Server 2003, 64-bit and 32-bit operating systems.
    Problem on 64-bit operating system box: (32-bit works fine).
    I am trying to access Oracle 10g database using linked server from our SQL Server 2005. In case of number fileds i got the following error:
    Invalid data for type "numeric".
    After going through one of the posting in this forumn i was able to resolve the problem by converting those column values to char while querying and then converting them back to numeric type on SQL server side.
    But today i ran into another problem. There is a VARCHAR2 column. I was able to retrieve the data yesterday for that column but today i am getting a blank recordset. If i exclude the colum from the query then i am getting all the rows.
    I am querying against a view and it has got a number of columns whose data type is VARCHAR2.
    Again the problem is on 64-bit operating system only. We have a 32-bit operating system on which i am able to retrieve the data including this column. I looked at the data and everything looks OK. No funny characters etc.
    I tried workarounds like using cast, to_char, checking for nulls etc., Nothing works.
    Any help is greately appreciated. Thanks.

    Did you find a resolution for this? We have similar problem. Set up a linked server in SQL 2006 to Oracle (running on Windows 64-bit) Linked server works and views I had set up were working but they added some new data in the Oracle test database I am using and now I get errors on one of the views.
    Error I am getting on the view is "Cannot initialize the data source object of OLE DB Provider "OraOLDEDB.ORacle" for the linked server"
    If I fine tune my queries to find the specific table or view that is at issue, then I get the error "inconsistent metadata for a column"

    Shankar,
    It would have helped if you had indicated what is the full version of 9iAS that you have installed. By default the portnumber that is used is 7778.
    As per the entries, they should have already been made in the config files. But check that the 6iServer.Conf file and it should contain the entries that you are being told to update. If not, then add the entries in the 6iServer.conf file and that is all you need.
    HTH.

  • Is it possible to Archive all Lync IM and Conference direct to a 3rd party archive?

    From what I gather, IM messages and Conferences can be sent to a Lync Archive. From there a shell script to export to .eml is possible.
    But is it possible to Journal direct from Lync, upon conversation or conference completion - or after a set time period - a transcript as an email to any 3rd party location [say, a 3rd party archive system]?  Exchange does this
    very well indeed.  So it would be most useful if Lync did too.
    Any Video and Voice recording Files should either be included as attachments to the transcript
    or as URL type links to the files in the Lync store. 
    Given the limitations of the Lync Archive (no search etc. plus the extra setup and sql license) this alternative approach seems very sensible.
    And if there are no built-in methods to do this, then is it technically possible to achieve with some .Net skills?
    Merlin Beedell

    Ah Yes, thank you - I can see the Folder in my Outlook - "Conversation History".  The items are of type IPM.Note.Microsoft.Conversation.
    It does reference file transfers in the conversation:

    You asked to send "188836.mht" to RTuveri.
    [11:40]
    "188836.mht" was transferred.
    [11:40]
    persleff.txtwas saved to C:\Users\mbeedell\Documents\My Received Files. It's a good idea to scan the file for viruses
    before you open it.
    But when a voice/video call is made, it does not include much detail (duration or url link to the saved transcript):

    So better - but from a compliance point of view, this may be an incomplete record.  Is it possible to improve on this?

  • 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.
    M
    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

  • My office uses windows based computers setup with a server setup. Can an apple server emulate or find compatibility with an apple server or apple computer linked to the server and allow full file sharing and printer sharing with pc's?

    I have 11 computers all pc's linked to an old windows server and all used primarily for microsoft office and printer sharing as well as for internet browsing. Can an apple joining the setup cause compatability issues?

    HI,
    grey-haired IT guy here, old enough to come from the counter culture. I ran (COO, including IT & compliance) a third billion dollar financial institution all on Macs 15 to 20 years ago.  All the "experts" had a long list of reasons it would be impossible, and it drove the examiners nuts, but it's only gotten better.
    So your benefits are going to be mostly in ease of administration after the learning curve, less aggravating glitches, better overall reliability, and arguably better security.  And reductions in cost and improvement in time to implement changes.
    In my current environment of mostly dozens of PCs, the moment I let the OS X Server be the domain master controller, the Windows network browser settled down and instantly showed network neighborhoods like it should have.  (We may have some forgotten pre-NT machines plugged in somewhere -- this is NOT a financial institution).
    Couple anecdotes might explain the feeling of coming in out of the cold:  Putting a test copy of a web site from the cloud onto the Mac server, XAMPP or MAMP is pretty much already there. The site has a couple WordPress blogs, and they need .htaccess files, and Apache needs an option set to permit remapping URLs. After much searching far and wide to find why it didn't seem to be working, I found the checkbox right there on Apple's management screens.  Much easier than editing .conf from command line.  Linux web admins hate it.
    Tale # 2:  We aren't fully Windows domain controlled -- just using the old network browser.  Need to upgrade that, and I Googled quite a while trying to understand what needed to be done to use Apple's Open Directory instead of setting up an Active Directory on Windows -- both SLDAP3.  Turns out one reason I couldn't find much is there isn't much to say:  it just works.  Just join the domain from a Windows machine.
    One more and I'll be quiet a bit.  We use the Wiki collaboration which is nice enough as far as it goes (no spreadsheets, fatal flaw) and it occupies the server's native web site slot.  So the test copy needed to be another site.  Easy enough -- site setup is all GUI and works fine, but WordPress could not handle a multiuser blog coming to a non-standard port (other than 80) so I needed a second IP multihomed on the server.  How do you do this?  Go to Network in the System Prefs, click on the Ethernet interface and select "duplicate".  Set your IP address.  Done.
    In summary a Mac OS X Server is a better server for a Windows shop than Windows Server 200x.
    My bottom line for choosing Apple:  lower blood pressure.  I SHOULD be money.  After all is said and done, it's about money.  The incredibly more pleasant experience is a free benefit.  You'll pay more for better hardware, but way less in time and trouble.  And you won't be hounded on a daily basis to update the system.  Not that Adobe or Firefox are any better about it on a Mac, but the Apple approach to updates stays in the background.
    Think different.  Simplify.  Focus.  Enjoy your work.

  • 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.

  • Installing Dialog Instances with ECC 6.0 and SQL Server 2005

    Hi, I have my ECC 6.0 SAP Server, it is Central Instance, Database instance, all in one. My users are working fine, however we will be adding some new users (15) and we want add a Dialog Instance. Can I add one Dialog instance to my landscape without any changes to my SAP Server ??? ..... My dialog instance will be in a new host.
    My hardware SAP Server is: 16 GB RAM, 500 GB RAID 5 for my database, four processors.
    What could be my Dialogue Instance hardware?
    I have read than I must install with sapinst and select Dialogue Instance and follow instructions. Are there any others considerations?? .....
    Do I must install SQL Server in the host Dialog instance ??.
    Please if you have some suggestions.
    Regards.

    Hello Jose,
    You can install your dialog instance without doing any change to the existing setup as you have mentioned its on a seprate new host.
    Two CPU's and 8GB memory would be fine for your dialog instance.It all depends on your requirement.
    Yes you need to install the dialog instance using SAPINST, its kool and sapinst would take care of all.
    You need not install any SQL server in the dialog instance host only you need to have a SQL client installed but that would be taken care by SAPINST.
    Hope this would clarify your query.
    Thanks and Regards,
    -Bijesh.
