Remove decommissioned SQL database from SCOM

Hi,
In SCOM 2007 R2, we have few SQL databases which have been decommissioned & removed but, they are still in Healthy state in SCOM.
How can I remove these entries from SCOM? I want to remove only the databases.
TIA.

Try this -
1) Log in to those SQL servers
2) Stop System center management(SCOM health) service.
3) Rename Health Service State folder located at "c:\programfiles\system center operations manager\agent\Health Service State:.
4) Restart System center management(SCOM health) service.
5) Wait for few minutes so that discoveries can run again and then check in the SCOM console. Those Databases should go away now.
Please let me know if this did not help or if this is not what you are looking for.
Thanks, S K Agrawal

How to move SQL database from one location to another location i.e. from C' drive to D' drive

Hi, How to move SQL database from one location to another location i.e. from C' drive to D' drive ? please share some link.
Thanks and Regards, Rangnath Mali

Hi Rangnath,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to move databased from C drive to D drive.
You can detach Database so that the files become independent, cut and paste the files from source to destination and attach again.
There are two similar posts for your reference:

Transferring 3 SQL databases from both SQL Express 2005 and Standard to a new physical server

I am trying to figure out the best method for transferring SQL 2005 databases from 2 different physical servers to a new server running windows server 2008 64bit.
I own a fully registered copy of Microsoft SQL 2005 32bit Standard Edition. However all of my SQL databases together are only 4GB in size thereby making 2008 SQL Express an option.
Here is the breakdown of the servers:
1) (Old Server1) Windows 2003 Server 32bit - SQL Express 2005 32bit
2) (Old Server2) Windows 2003 Server 32bit - SQL Server 2005 32bit Standard
3) (New Server) Windows 2008 Server 64bit - (Not sure which version to install)
**The objective is to migrate 2 SQL databases from Old Server1 and 1 SQL database from Old Server 2 to the New Server. What version should I install on the new server??? Do I go with 2008 express or install the 2005 Standard Edition?
Pending your response to which version to install, what are the correct steps to migrate (which I have never done before) the databases from both of these servers to the new server?
I have researched this online and I think this particular situation is unique in that I am transferring from both SQL Express and Standard from 2 different physical servers to a 2008 server that is 64bit. I cannot find anything online that I feel confident
in trying. Please help me, as I have this migration deadline of this weekend. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

Hello,
You may choose between using backup/restore or using detach/attach methods to migrate the databases.
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms187858(v=sql.90).aspx
You can transfer logins using the following article.
http://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/918992
To decide if you migrate to Express Edition or to another edition, please review the features supported by each edition. For instance, Express Edition does not support jobs (SQL Server Agent is not available).
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc645993(v=sql.100).aspx
Hope this helps.

Connecting to an Azure SQL Database from a Windows C# Form

Hi,
Is it possible to connect to an SQL database in Azure from Visual Studio C# 2010 or 2012? If so how is this done. Is it the same as if you were connecting to SQL Express database with the use of a connection string? Any directions or tutorials would be of
great help!
Thanks!

Hi,
>>Thanks for the reply Paul, That is disappointing. I am trying to get my students to create a C# application that will connect with a database in Azure. Is there another approach besides SQL that I could use?
Using SQL Azure will work fine (see below), if the students are familiar with SQL Server and SQL Databases it will be great for them to see how it works in the cloud. As an alternative you could explore Azure Storage, using Table Storage, Blob Storage or
the new Document Database features.
>>Azure enforces a firewall that prevents direct external access to the database server. You can add a firewall rule allowing external access, but the rules only support connecting from a fixed IP address because you have to specify the numeric IP
from which connection will be allowed.
You can specify ranges here, so you could cover a range of IP addresses. You can even specify 0.0.0.0 to 255.255.255.255 and allow all IP addresses, this could be an option if you don't know where the students will be connecting from, and you are using a
database for the exercise where you don't care too much about the security.
When I have run classes I typically use an IP address range, for example XXX.YYY.ZZZ.0 to XXX.YYY.ZZZ.255 if the students are accessing from the same classroom, and the external IP address may vary. You may find that they all have the same external IP address
if they are on the same internal network.
Also, with many students accessing the same database, you may get throttling if they place a lot of load on it. This is cool, as you can also teach them about transient fault handling and resource throttling :-).

Querying an SQL Database from ABAP

Is is possible from within ABAP in R/3 (or NetWeaver) to query a non-SAP database? For example, can I write ABAP code which will go after data in say a non SAP DB2 database at some remote location?

Hi
Connecting to an External database from SAP
Step 1: Create an entry for the External database in DBCON table using Trxn: DBCA.
Table: DBCON (Description of Database Connections)
Field Name Description Value (For: E.g.:)
CON_NAME Logical name for a database connection RAJ
DBMS Database system MSS
USER_NAME Database user <username>
PASSWORD Password for setting up the connection to the database <pwd>/<pwd>
CON_ENV Database-specific information for a database connection MSSQL_SERVER=depotserver MSSQL_DBNAME=HOF_INDORE
DB_RECO Availability type for an open database connect
Step 2: Now you can write code to connect to the external database
Your Sample code can be something like this
DATA: BEGIN OF wa,
c_locid(3),
c_locname(50),
c_locstate(5),
END OF wa.
EXEC SQL.
CONNECT TO 'RAJ' AS 'V'
ENDEXEC.
EXEC SQL.
SET CONNECTION 'V'
ENDEXEC.
*- Get the data from MS-SQL Server
EXEC SQL.
open C1 for
select
loc_id,
loc_name,
loc_state
from ho_loc_mast
ENDEXEC.
DO.
EXEC SQL.
FETCH NEXT C1 into :wa-c_locid, :wa-c_locname, :wa-c_locstate
ENDEXEC.
IF sy-subrc = 0.
PERFORM loop_output.
ELSE.
EXIT.
ENDIF.
ENDDO.
EXEC SQL.
CLOSE C1
ENDEXEC.
*& Form LOOP_OUTPUT
Output
FORM loop_output .
WRITE: /5 wa-c_locid, 10 wa-c_locname, 65 wa-c_locstate.
CLEAR wa.
ENDFORM. " LOOP_OUTPUT

Protect SQL database from untrusted domain

Hello,
I have some problems protecting a SQL 2008 SP3 database from untrusted domain with DPM 2012 R2 RU3.
When I try to protect the databases, it does not appear in the tree to select them, also when I try to recover a database into untrusted domain it doesnt appear in the tree.
The NT Authority\System has sysadmin permissions, I have all TCP ports open and the following UDP ports: 389,88,netbios-dgm,netbios-ns.
Any idea ?

How to Create SQL "Databases" from LV?

Is there a way to create SQL Databases (not just tables) from inside LabVIEW??? This sould be fairly easy...

All I know is what is in the SQL Server help file. There is the SQL command "CREATE DATABASE". An example is:
USE master
GO
CREATE DATABASE Sales
ON
( NAME = Sales_dat,
FILENAME = 'c:\program files\microsoft sql server\mssql\data\saledat.mdf',
SIZE = 10,
MAXSIZE = 50,
FILEGROWTH = 5 )
LOG ON
( NAME = 'Sales_log',
FILENAME = 'c:\program files\microsoft sql server\mssql\data\salelog.ldf',
SIZE = 5MB,
MAXSIZE = 25MB,
FILEGROWTH = 5MB )
GO
You have to have the correct permissions in order to do this and the server itself has to exist. I'm assuming that you already have the Database Connectivity Toolkit, LabSQL (http://www.jeffreytravis.com/lost/labsql.html), or are using your own ADO routines.

Troubles Exporting SQL databases from Azure

1. If I connect via SQL Server Management Studio and choose Export Data Tier Application to local disk, it never ends
2. If I export via Azure web portal, it takes few hours
3. The only way that works is using SQL Server Management Studio and exporting to Azure container and then downloading it and importing via SQL Server Management Studio, seems like a lot of hassle
I need Azure SQL database to be transferred daily to my local machine, preferably automatically. How can I do it?

Hi Alex,
Since the issue regards Windows Azure SQL Database, I will help you move the question to the related forums, It is appropriate and more experts will assist you.
As Olaf’s post, if you want to migrate databases between the SQL Server Database Engine and Windows Azure SQL Database, you can use the Windows Azure SQL Database Import and Export operations to copy databases between two different SQL Database servers.
In addition, you can also use the Windows Azure SQL Database copy database feature to make a consistent copy of a database, and perform the export from the copy. For more information, see
Copying Databases in Windows Azure SQL Database. And you also can migrate a database by using the generate scripts wizard. For more information, see:
How to: Migrate a Database by Using the Generate Scripts Wizard (Windows Azure SQL Database)
According to your description, you want to migrate database daily and automatically, you can configure automated exports to schedule export operations for a SQL database, and to specify the frequency of export operations, and to set the retention period
to store export files. Also you can set data sync between SQL Server and Windows Azure SQL database, configure bi-directional for database. For more information, see:
Windows Azure SQL Data Sync.

Hi Affar2k,
According to your description, we need to verify if there is no network issue and the Sqlclient version is older than .NET 4.5. You can try to connect to the Windows Azure SQL database via SSMS and check if it can run well. When you
connect to the SQL Azure database via ADO.NET, you need to verify that the server name and passwords are right in the connection string.
For more information, you can review the following article about how to connect to Windows Azure SQL Database using ADO.NET.

Remove network device inventory from SCOM database

Hello Gurus
I have a quick question. I think one of the internal connectors in my SCOM environment has got deleted by mistake. As a result all the network devices that were being monitored previously has now disappeared. I believe because they were present in the database,
I can't discover them now. Is it possible somehow to list those network devices from the database, and then delete them, by using powershell and/or SQL.
Any help in this regard will be greatly appreciated.
Regards,

You can delete them by:
In the Discovery Rules option under the Administration Tab, you will be able to see all the network devices that are discovered. This shows the devices that are discovered and currently getting monitored in SCOM. You can select multiple devices and then
remove them.
Then Run in powershell Get-RemotelyManagedDevice to check that all Network devices deleted.
you can also check below link to remove/restore network device

Connecting to an Azure SQL Database from VB6

We have an old Application that is accessing a database located on a client site. We currently access this database using ADO and SQL Authentication. Would it be possible to migrate to Azure SQL Server and connect to it from the VB6 Application by just changing
the connection string?

Yes, but you have to make sure that you are not using any features that SQL Azure doesn't support. And make sure that the SQL Azure server address is open for connection from outside. You also need to be concerned about data security.

How to Remove Decommissioned CA's from PKIVIEW Locations

Hello,
I recently decommissioned two of our Enterprise Issuing Certificate Authorities from our PKI environment. I have removed the decommissioned CA http references on each of our existing CA Management Console's Extensions tabs and ensured that my CA Exchange
certs do not have the decommissioned CDP locations referenced. I have restarted all CAs, but the decommissioned servers still appear in the CDP and DeltaCRL http Locations. I've also verified they don't exist in the registry and don't exist in the NTAuthCertificates
container viewed through pkiview.msc > Enterprise PKI > Manage AD Containers.
Environment consists of Windows Server 2008 Offline Root and Policy CAs with five online Issuing CAs (which consist of two 2008 and three 2012 servers)
Any other ideas of how to get rid of the decom'd locations in pkiview.msc?
Thanks! Patrick

You need to revoke the most recent CA Exchange certificate and re-run PKIView.msc.
