SCCM Remote SQL Question

Planning a design for SCCM. I have one datacenter, where Primary server, DP, MP, will be located at. Question I have is, does it make sense to have SQL co-located or can I put on dedicated SQL server for our DBA group to handle?

In my opinion there are very few reasons to use remote SQL.

Hi All,
I got question ask on when i want to configure the WSUS component it failed as per screenshot and my SCCM cant work with it.
SCCM Server : Windows Server 2012 R2 (WSUS featured installed)
SCCM Version: System Center Config Manager R2
Remote SQL Server : Windows Server 2012 R2
SQL Version: SQL Server 2012 SP1 -11.0.3153
WSUS Error:
SCCM Error:
Hope you all can provide me a good solution on it I had no clue on this.
Regards,
Sam

Sam,
Recommend you
Remove SUP
Remove WSUS role
Delete the SUSDB on the remote SQL server
Reboot the server
Reinstall WSUS feature
Reinstall SUP
Take a look at my blog on installing a SUP on 2012 from the section 'Install WSUS on the remote SUP server'
http://sccmentor.wordpress.com/2014/09/11/installing-a-remote-sup-in-sccm-2012-r2-on-windows-server-2012-r2/
Make sure you run the Post Install tasks as well.

Problems install SCCM 2012 with remote sql 2008 r2 sp2

I am having issues installing sccm 2012 on a remote sql 2008 r2 sp2 server on a seperate instance.
I get the error "The network path was not found"
if i point it at the primary instance it will let me continue but i cannot install sccm into that instance.
I have turned off dynamic ports and set a static port but I do not see where i can enter that in the installer.
I cannot seem to verify is the ssb port is working correctly or not.
my account is local admin on both servers and a sql sysadm.
There is no firewall between servers.
Any suggestions?
Regards
Don

SPN is setup to AUTO register and is working. remote sql is not a cluster. Windows firewall on both servers is disabled. Sql browser is enabled and started. we have a group for system center that contains site servers and this group
is in the local admin of both servers and sysadm inside of sql server.
Why we are consolidating all or our lesser sql servers into a larger one.

SCCM 2012 R2 Installation with Remote SQL Instance

I am trying to install SCCM 2012 R2 and during the install it asks for your SQL Server Name. I have a remote SQL Server which I can ping all day but the installation is telling me "The network path was not found". I turned the firewall
off on the SQL Server and the install proceeded to the next step so that told me it was a firewall issue.
On my SQL Server I opened the following ports but still the install doesn't get through until I completely disable the firewall.
TCP and UDP 1434
TCP and UDP 1433
80
443
TCP and UDP 135
TCP and UDP 2383
TCP and UDP 2382
TCP and UDP 4022
I know this is a little excessive but its ports I've seen suggestions for to open but I'm out of ideas. I even tried suggestions from earlier posts by Jason Sandy's to setspn and I've verified it is correct with setspn -L but still nothing. Any
suggestions on what ports are needed during install? As mentioned, firewall off it works great but as soon as firewall is turned on (even with ports open above) I get no where.
Be kind and Mark as Answer if I helped.

Thanks for everyone' reply's. It is using the default instance (i'm leaving the field blank as it specifies). I have checked SQL Server Manager and ensured that under TCP/IP and the IP Address's tab that all the IP1, IP2, IP3, IPALL has nothing
(not even a 0) in TCP Dynamic Ports and the TCP port is specified as 1433 for all those. I even made ODBC connections that "tested successfully" to the remote sql server. I'm just confused.
I tried netstat and didn't get any viable results but maybe i'm missing a switch. With firewall on or off during installation it was making established connections to ports 49320, 49321, 49322, 49323, 49254, 49278, 49302, 49220, 49223, 49224,
49259, 49262, 49263, 49295, 49304, 49332, 49154 and so on. Obviously I don't think these are relevant and just normal chatter between the two servers. Its on a VM so i snapshotted the SQL and CM box before the install so I'm able to revert back
(or even reload both boxes if necessary). I'm going to try a few more things but any more suggestions are more than welcome.
Be kind and Mark as Answer if I helped.

Required Ports to connect remote SQL named Instance for SCCM 2012 R2

Hi,
I have allowed the TCP 1433,1434,135 and 80 but still unable to connect the remote SQL named instance DB for the SCCM 2012 R2... and getting below error..can you please suggest if any other port required for the same, i have turned off the windows
firewall and RPC service is running ob Remote SQL and SCCM 2012 R2 server..

During the installation you need more ports. You would also need the (dynamic) RPC ports. See for a complete list (section Site Server --> SQL Server):

Reporting Services Point, remote SQL issue

I'm trying to install Reporting Services Point on a remote SQL 2008 R2 SP2 server. I select the SQL server under Servers and Site System Roles and it lists the site database server name, database name (should this name be the same as the DB found in Reporting
Services Configuration Manager?), folder name and reporting services server instance. I enter a new account that is a sysadmin on the SQL click verify and get:
A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server. The server was not found or was not accessible. Verify that the instance name is correct and that SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections.
(provider: SQL Network Interfaces, error: 26 - Error Locating Server/Instance Specified).
Ping works both ways, remote connection on this SQL instance are enabled, static ports configured, a rule to allowany is set in the firewall. Should I perhaps be entering the port (this instance uses a non-standard one) in the Add Site System Roles
Wizard?
If I open up Reporting Services Configuration Manager, the service is started, mode is native, a domain user account is used for the service account, web service URL opens, I even created a new DB. Report Manager URL opens.
SCCM itself uses the same remote SQL instance, so it appears connectivity works fine.
Any assistance is appreciated.

Thank you very much - CypherMike.
You helped me so much!!!
I installed the DB on another Instance so i had to change the port # and just here i found this info that i need to use comma to define the port.
Tnx

SCCM remote control keeps dropping out when another network adaptor loses connection

Hey guys,
Hopefully someone will be able to help me out
at work, we are running SCCM 2012, and I use SCCM 2012 config manager to manage the clients etc
We have a particularly annoying issue with SCCM remote control; it constantly drops out when a network connection on the client machine disconnects or changes state, even if its not interface I'm remote controlling through
Here's an example for you:
a laptop with a wired, and wireless connection:
I remote control the machine through the wired network address (lets say 192.168.0.1), but if the wireless connection drops out (someone turns it off or it breaks) the remote control client will kick me off, lock the screen, and I have to wait 20-30 seconds
before it will accept my connection again
This happens with any network adaptor that's installed on the client
Here is a copy of the logs re-creating this issue: https://www.dropbox.com/s/nu4w28d44xky3rg/CmRcService.log
(I've edited it to take out usernames and IP addresses as they are publicly accessible)
So my question, does any one know how to fix this issue? I see it uses WMI, is there anyway to get WMI to ignore an interface?
Thanks heaps,
Harry

This is going to be done by design for security reasons. If the network connect for whatever reason is down the pc will automatically be locked.

Trying to install WSUS role on Windows Server 2012 R2 using dedicated SQL Instance with static port on remote SQL Server 2012 SP1 CU7 on Windows Server 2012 R2.

I am trying to install WSUS role on Windows Server 2012 R2 using dedicated SQL Instance with static port on remote SQL Server 2012 SP1 CU7 on Windows Server 2012 R2.
It verifies the connection and then throws the error:
The request to add or remove features on the specified server failed. The operation cannot be completed, because the server you specified requires a restart.

User Action
Assign "Log on as a service" to the service account on this computer. You can use Local Security Settings (Secpol.msc) to do this. If this computer is a node in a cluster, check that this user
right is assigned to the Cluster service account on all nodes in the cluster.
If you have already assigned this user right to the service account, and the user right appears to be removed, check with your domain administrator to find out if a Group Policy object associated
with this node might be removing the right.
I found following article:
"MSSQL$MICROSOFT##WID service was unable to log on as NT SERVICE\MSSQL$MICROSOFT##WID" error when you install WID in Windows Server 2012
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2832204/en-us
To work around the issue, use one of the following methods:
Assign the Log on as a service user right to NT SERVICE\ALL SERVICES in the GPO that defines the user right.
Exclude the computer from the GPO that defines the user right.
We moved the SCCM server to OU where no policies were getting applied and then applied the new GPO to that OU. Restarted the server and we were able to install WSUS role.

How to connect to remote sql server database?

Hallo,
I am a new member, so please excuse me if my questions are dummy.
I am using CR2008 SP2 to make reports from sql server 2005 databases.
Localy there is no connection problem and everything works perfect.
I would like to establish a connection with a remote sql server 2005,
but i am not familiar with remote data retriving. which driver should i use? static ip? vpn? server ports?
Any answer will be really appreciated

Hello,
This is more a question for Microsoft to see what and how they support remote connections to databases. As long as you have the connection made CR will not have any problems. You may find it is slow so optimizing your queries is highly recommended. Passing a million records through your web connector is going to take time.....
I've personally used a VPN connection and then set the ODBC or OLE DB connection info to my test server here at work and it worked fine. But they were small data sets.
Thank you
Don

DPM remote SQL Prep

Hello,
I need help with SC DPM 2012 R2.
I have remote SQL instaled on Windows core. SQL is 2012 with SP1 This is working, and I succeed to install VMM on that SQL.
Is it possible to install this DPM Remote SQL Prep from DPM install to that SQL on core Windows. So that I can install DPM :-)
Maybe not with that GUI wizzard from DPM, but I hope that is posible to install it from shell or CLI.
If anyone can explain me how, step by step, I will appreciate it

SCCM 2007: SQL Clúster Add new nodes

We've installed SCCM 2007 with SCCM DB in a clúster SQL with two nodes (Node1, Node2)
We're going to add two new nodes Nodes3 and Node4. After, we'll remove Node1 and Node2 from Clúster...
I see that SCCM has two site system created (Node1 and Node2) and I don't know if SCCM will add the new nodes automatically when I add the new nodes to the clúster..
Any problem with this??

I have never done it and remote SQL is not best practice anyways.

Extremely slow results when console queries remote SQL server

We have a SCCM 2012 environment set up on our test network. Everything is virtual. I have a VM that has a primary site and VM that is a remote SQL server. Both are running Server 2008 R2. It has been running for a few month now and I have not had any
issues with console speed until now. When I try and look at updates in an update package, it will take about a half hour to display the 250ish updates that are in that package. The CPU on the Primary site server is running below 10% and the RAM is running
right at half. At the same time while SCCM is looking up the results the SQL box jumps to about 25% CPU and the RAM stays steady at about half as well. There are a couple other things on this SQL VM and it has 12 GB of RAM. I also see this behavior
when searching all updates, and general movement around the console. I have a maintenance task set up in SCCM to rebuild indexes every Saturday. There are only 80 clients inside of this test environment. What could cause this? Any ideas on how
to fix it?

The log said reindexing completed. Things look fine on the performance side. The VM running Configuration manager is a bit over powered and the VM running the SQL stuff seems to be about right. If I want to look in update packages, update groups, or
at all updates it is still extremely slow.
For example, there are 998 updates when this screen would finally load. It takes almost a half hour to populate the list. If I try and look at these and go somewhere else like administration it bogs the console down to an unusable state unless you let
it sit there for a half hour or restart the Configuration Manager server to break the query.

Remote SQL DB Instance Connection error while deplyting the Standalone Primary Site

Hi
I am getting error as The RPC server is unavailable .(Exception from HRESULT:0x8000706BA)
while adding the Remote SQL DB named instance. I am also attaching ConfigMgr Setup log can you please advice..
Windows Firewall is turned off on SCCM Primary Site server and SQL DB server.
I am able to telnet over port 1433 of SQL DB server, Dynamic Port is not Configured for SQL DB Named Instance its only on TCP 1433.
Shailendra Dev

Hi,
Please confirm the ports below are allowed.
Site Server --> SQL Server
During the installation of a site that will use a remote SQL Server to host the site database, you must open the following ports between the site server and the SQL Server:
Server Message Block (SMB) TCP 445
RPC Endpoint Mapper UDP TCP 135
RPC TCP DYNAMIC (See note 6, Dynamic ports)

Oracle 10.2 on AIX -- need to connect to remote SQL server by dblink

oracle 10.2 on AIX -- need to connect to remote SQL server by dblink
i didn't see a odbc diectory in our oracle home path. how do i know odbc driver is installed in the oracle on our AIX server.
If it is there, do i just need to modify the odbc.ini and then the inithsodbc.ora, linster.ora, tnsnammes.ora files, or am I missing something
Appreciate your response

when you want to connect from Oracle to a SQl Server you need the Oracle Gateway (HSODBC or even better Dg4ODBC) and a FOREIGN ODBC DRIVER for your foreign database - a SQL Server ODBC driver. You have to get this driver from a 3rd party vendor - Oracle does not offer any foreign ODBC drivers.
So before being able to use DG4ODBC/HSODBC you need to install from a 3rd paryt vendor a SQL Server ODBC driver. Commercial vendrs are for example Data Direct, Openlink or Easysoft.
On Unix ODBC drivers commonly also require a driver manager. If the ODBC driver vendor does not ship one with the ODBC driver you can get it from www.unixodbc.org

No HS to remote SQL Server Data Source using NT Authentication?

I am attemping to use Generic Connectivity to pull SQL Server 2000 data into 10g.
We have the DSN configured, the oracle files modified properly (we have done similar setups before), and are able to successfully tnsping the SQL Server.
However, after creating our database, when trying to execute a query against the remote source I receive the following error message:
ORA-28500: connection from ORACLE to a non-Oracle system returned this message:
[Generic Connectivity Using ODBC][Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL
Server]Login failed for user 'NT AUTHORITY\ANONYMOUS LOGON'. (SQL State: 28000;
SQL Code: 18456)
ORA-02063: preceding 2 lines from IDW_LINK
As the message indicates that the error is coming from the SQL Server, I assume a connection is being established.
I remember reading postings here from a couple years back about HS not being able to connect to remote SQL Servers when NT Authentication is required. Is this still the case?
I did in fact provide to the link my "domain\username", "password" combination that has access to the sql server, but this is of course using NT Authentication.
Any ideas on why HS would be sending "NT AUTHORITY\ANONYMOUS" to the sql server? Is this still the already existing problem of no NT Auth for remote data sources?

Have you found a solution for this? Thanks.
