Required SQL 2012 features for RDS2012 HA

what features are required (basic) for SQL 2012 in RDS 2012 HA FARM?
Would just SQL Server Agent, SQL Server Database Engine, SQL Server Browser be enough for start?
Thanks.

Hi,
Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
As per my research it’s good to go for initial setup. But ensure that all RDCB Servers have the SQL Server Native Client Installed and configured so that they can communicate with the SQL Server.

MS SQL 2012 Supported for v6.2?

Hi -
We are still on P6 6.2. The client with enterprise db (no web). We have other tools (non Primavera) that now require to upgrade to MSSQL 2012. Our IT department would like to apply this to our Primavera as well. Is this possible? The last tested configuration document that I can find is from 2012 and of course doesnt list SQL 2012 as a tested config. If there is an updated config file can someone send the link? Why Oracle doesnt make these simple inquires easier to find I do not know.
PS Long story why we have not upgraded but basically my company doesnt want to shell out the $ for both the maintenance and license upgrade with what we use it for (schedule only not costs, web, reporting). Believe me I would love to use the new features but managment and IT do not want to unless it is mandatory coming from our customers or Oracle states no more version 6.
Thanks for any feedback.

Hi Boomer,
There is no official document published about incompatibilities between AD FS 2.0 and SQL 2012. Though many people have issues about this combination, please see this thread below:

In the meantime, SQL Server 2012 is supported with AD FS 2.1 for sure, you can try to upgrade AD FS 2.0 to AD FS 2.1 if the issue persists.
In addition, I couldn’t find any resource about migrating AD FS configuration database from SQL to WID, only the other way around.

Sql 2012 server for SCCM 2012 - Agent not starting

Hi ,
In our environment we have a Sql 2012, and it was working fine till now. but after installation of RDP role and subsequent installation of certificates for remote desktop in the SCCM server ( SQL 2012 is
installed in it)
we are facing the issue - Sql server management studio not connecting ( windows authenticaltion)
1) A connection was successfully established with the server, but then an error occurred during the login process. (provider: SSL Provider, error: 0 - No process is on the other end of the pipe.) (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 233)A
2) I tried starting the sql agent service in services.msc and the below error came
The SQL Server Agent (MSSQLSERVER) service on Local Computer started and then stopped.
Some services stop automatically if they are not in use by other services or programs.
3) In the Sql Server configuration manager also tried starting the sql agent but
The request failed or the service did not respond in a timely fashion.
Consult the event log or other applicable error logs for details.
The widows event logs show this error
A fatal alert was generated and sent to the remote endpoint. This may result in termination of the connection.
The TLS protocol defined fatal error code is 20. The Windows SChannel error state is 960.
We have removed the certificate and the RDP role in that .
Can anyone please help on this

I would check for error messages in the SQL Server ERROLOG file and also Agent's SQLAGENT.OUT file.

SQL 2012 installation for Failover Cluster failed

While installation of SQL 2012 on FOC validation fails on "Database Engine configuration" page with following error:
The volume that contains SQL Server data directory g:\MSSQL11.MSSQLSERVER\MSSQL\DATA does not belong to the cluster group.
Want to know how does SQL installation wizard queries volumes configured with Failover Cluster. does it:
- Enumerate "Physical Disk" resources in FOC
- does it enumerate all Storage Class resources in FOC for getting the volume list
- or it depends on WMI (Win32_Volume) to get volumes ?
The wizard correctly discovers volume g:\ in its FOC group on "Cluster Resource Group" and "Cluster Disk Selection" page. but gives the error on Database configuration page.
Any help in this would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance

SQL 2005 to SQL 2012 Replication for SSRS

I recently successfully implemented one-way log shipping from a production SQL 2005 database to a new SQL 2012 database in the hopes that I can use the 2012 database to run SSRS 2012 on it.
Unfortunately, the 2012 database is kept offline since log shipping between two DIFFERENT SQL versions can only be done in a NO RECOVERY mode. (Standby mode is NOT available which would make the SQL 2012 read only and therefore workable for SSRS
2012.)
Does anyone have any suggestions on if there is another method on how to achieve this?

Yes, You can try replication. I hope you've latest service pack upgrade for SQL 2005.

SQL 2012 support for ADFS 2.0

We recently upgraded to SQL 2012 Enterprise from SQL 2008. Since that happened we are now seeing errors when trying to create Relying Party Trusts in our ADFS 2.0 environment.
The error is as follows:
An error occurred during an attempt to access the AD FS configuration database. Error message: Exception of type 'Microsoft.IdentityServer.PolicyModel.Client.StorageOperationException' was thrown.
That brings 3 specific questions:
1. Does ADFS 2.0 support SQL 2012 as a backend?
2. Can we move the AD FS configuration database back to WID?
3. If the answer to question 2 is yes, how do I do it?
Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions.

Add login to sql 2012 server for a virtual account from another sql 2012 server

I have two sql 2012 servers.
Server A has sql server agent running virtual account: NT Service\SQLSERVERAGENT
Server B has some databases.
Server A is running a scheduled SSIS package that needs access to Server B's databases via Windows Auth
Thus I want to grant access by creating a login on Server B to the virtual account on server A: NT Service\SQLSERVERAGENT
Q1 - Is this possible?
Thanks beforehand.
Paulino

Raul,
As a matter of a test and not with the actual intention to use it this way, I did try to add a login using the DOMAIN\MACHINE_NAME$
concept but it did not work anyway. I will not find it.
So I will use one of the approaches recommended by Mr. Gallardy
Thanks!

Secure login to sql 2012 database for webusers

We build up a new website in .net mvc 4.0 on a w2012 server with MSSQL 2012 database.
We use windows autentification and normal anonymous access through NT AUTHORITY\IUSR who is also a login in the database.
But we make extra login possibility for users who are registered and they can insert and modify data in some tables in the database. And I'am afraid of giving NT AUTHORITY\IUSR insert and update for some column in tables.
I think of set up a new login for the database. Run a new connection string on login and set up special permission for that extra user on the database, set up a new role and let the new user become member, but also let the user become a member of the ordinary
user(roles) in the database.
Have anyone any idea what is the best practice here and the most secure way to do it?
Any links for other resources about this topic?
Or perhaps my fear for using NT AUTHORITY\IUSR is groundless
And perhaps someone has links to resources for using SQL server as a backendserver for websites.
Knut from Norway!

I don't know much about web servers, which may explain your alternatives entirely.
But, if you use the same connection string for reads that you do for updates, then you must control all permission for writes in the web app. And you must be sure that you only use parameterised SQL or stored procedures, so that there is no risk for SQL
injection.
If you give special logins for the users with read access, they would need their own accounts in SQL Server. If this is an intranet site, the web server may be able to impersonate these users and then connect to SQL Server. If that does not work out, you
would have to create SQL logins for these.
Obviously, this requires more administration, but it is also more secure, because you are adding a line of defence. Even if your application is free from SQL injection vulnerabilities today, some new badly educated kid on the block could open a hole two
years later.

SQL 2012 failover cluster\mirroring VS AlwaysOn for VDI?

Hi, we have to build high availability SQL 2012 cluster for VDI and we have two options. One option is to build a server cluster with combination of failover and mirroring and other option is to build failover cluster with AlwaysOn.
We are not sure which option to chose. We have contacted Microsoft support to provide us some documents and instructions for failover\mirroring combination but they have send us instructions for AlwaysOn option.
What would be best way to build high availability cluster for VDI? Also, since first option is very complicated, we would appreciated if someone could provide us with some documentation for it (how to build it, what to look out for, etc.) because that is the probably the option we are going to use.
Thank you in advance.

SQL 2012 AlwaysON High Availability for SharePoint 2013

Our Company have 2 Webfront Servers for Sharepoint 2013 and one Database SQL 2012 Server.
We got one more Server & we don't have Storage so need to configure Always On.
There are Some Confusions:
1- Database Server is in production, so how much down time required to Achieve the AlwaysOn?
2- What are the Changes need to be done on Production Server?
3- What are the Steps to be followed While Configuring new Database Server?
Regards,

Hi Genius1985,
According to your description, you want to configure a SQL Server 2012 AlwaysOn Availability Group for your database, right?
Question 1: Database Server is in production, so how much down time required to achieve the AlwaysOn?
There is no a certain downtime for AlwaysOn, it depends on the configuration of our AlwaysOn Availability Group, normally it can be several seconds or minutes. In order to understand why there is downtime for SQL Server with Microsoft Clustering, please refer
to the following article:
http://www.mssqltips.com/sqlservertip/1882/understanding-why-there-is-still-downtime-for-sql-server-with-microsoft-clustering/
Question 2 and 3: What are the Changes need to be done on Production Server? What are the Steps to be followed While Configuring new Database Server?
Since AlwaysOn Availability Groups require a Windows Server Failover Cluster, we first need to add the Windows Failover Cluster Feature to all the machines running the SQL Server instances that we will configure as replicas.
Once the Windows Server Failover Cluster has been created, we need to proceed with enabling the AlwaysOn Availability Groups feature in SQL Server 2012. This needs to be done on all of the SQL Server instances that we will configure as replicas in our
Availability Group.
For more details about Step-By-Step: Creating a SQL Server 2012 AlwaysOn Availability Group, please refer to the following article:
http://blogs.technet.com/b/canitpro/archive/2013/08/20/step-by-step-creating-a-sql-server-2012-alwayson-availability-group.aspx

2008 R2 upgrade to SQL 2012 validation error - No Features Selected

I need a work-around for a known bug. Some features of Server 2008 R2 Enterprise install an instance of SQL Server. I'm attempting to upgrade the in-place instance to SQL 2012 Express. After selecting 'Upgrade', it returns this error:
Upgrade to SQL Server 2012
There are validation errors on this page. Click OK to close this dialog box. Review errors at the bottom of the setup page, then provide valid parameters or click Help for more information.
There are no features selected for upgrade.
In researching, I find this is a known problem in which the hotfix is available in a cumulative update. The 2419 build updates the released 2100 build. My problem now is that applying the cumulative update requires that SQL 2012 already be installed.
What is the correct procedure for upgrading the in-place SQL instance to 2012 SQL Express?
Beware of unmoderated moderators in the Expression Web forums.

One of us is confused.... likely me. The SQL currently installed is the built-in SQL of Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise. It is not SQL Enterprise. I understand it to be a limited variation called SSEE, SQL Server Embedded Edition.
I believe the installation of this variation can be triggered by installing IIS or WSUS. The instance name is Microsoft##SSEE.
Nevertheless, there must be a proper way to install SQL 2012 Express, migrate, and uninstall the Windows Internal Database SQL 2005. Where can I find the correct procedure for upgrading the in-place SQL instance to 2012 SQL Express?
Hi backup,
According to your description, I recommend you install SQL Server 2012 Express directly. Before installing, you should note the
hardware and software requirements, for example, you need to download and install Microsoft .Net Framework 3.5 SP1 and Windows Installer 4.5.
There is a process of installing SQL Server 2012 Express, you can review it.
