Securtiy Bulletins for 2012 server

Hi,
We are planning to deploy a new 2012 server and also we've existing 2000,2003 & 2008 servers. For these servers has updated with below security bulletins. And whether the fixes to these vulnerabilities not being available for Server 2012 implies
that Server 2012 does not have these vulnerabilities?
MS09-048
MS08-001
MS08-020
MS08-037
MS08-036
MS06-033

Hi Jayavel,
I searched these vulnerabilities you mentioned, and they all affect Operating Systems below Windows Server 2012.
As Milos mentioned before, if we use Windows Update service correctly, all required updates will be installed.
Besides, during the development process of a new Windows product, I believe that vulnerabilities/flaws (at least some of them) existed in the former ones will be fixed, so we don’t have to install every update after the installation
of the new Windows Operating System. Since there are new functionalities and features in Windows Server 2012, you are right that Windows Sever 2012 has its own vulnerabilities along with its own hotfixes/updates.

  • Set up Search Service App For SharePoint server 2013 on Windows server 2012 R2 not working

    Hi all,
    I installed SharePoint server 2013 on Windows  server 2012 R2 using VirtualBox.  I created a DC(domain controller) server with a domain set up on one VM and it has SQL server 2012 SP1 installed. Then SharePoint 2013 on another VM was set up to access
    the DC server.  Everything seems working except Search Service App which cannot be sucessfully set up. Creation process for Search service app says Successful and 4 search databases were created and look fine. But when I navigate to search service app
    admin page, it gives error info:
    System status:  The search service is not able to connect to the machine that hosts the administration component. Verify that the administration component '386f2cd6-47ca-4b3a-aeb5-d9116772ef16' in search application 'Search Service Application 1' is in
    a good state and try again.
    Search Application Topology:  Unable to retrieve topology component health states. This may be because the admin component is not up and running.
    From event viewer, I see following errors:

    Since separate DC server and SharePoint server do not work, I installed SharePoint 2013 on DC server ( so DC server has everything on it now ) but it gives exactly same result. Later I installed SharePoint 2013 SP1 and still have the same problem with Search
    Service app. I spent two weeks tried all suggestions available from Web and Google but SharePoint Search Service simply does not work. Config and other databases work but why Search Service has this issue seemingly related to search DB.
    Could anybody please help out? You deserve a top SharePoint consultant award if you could find a solution. I am so frustrated and so tired by this issue.    This seems also to be a SP set up issue.
    Thanks a lot.

    Using new Search Service App wizard to create SSA is always a success. I could delete existing SSA and recreate it and no problem. It says successful but when I open Search Admin page from CA, it gives me errors as mentioned.
    Now I used the following PS script for creating SSA from Max Mercher, but it stays at the last setps in following script:

  • 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.

  • What is posted availability specification for Windows server 2012? 2012R2?

    I am trying to put together a high availability solution and I want to know what the availability 'claim' of the individual components would be. What is the availability specification for Windows server 2012 and Windows Server 2012R2?(for example 99.9%
    availability for the O/S itself). This would be in a non clustered or Load Balanced state. Just a single server running the O/S.

    Hi,
    SLA requirements determine how components such as storage, clustering, and backup and recovery factor into your organization.The term high availability is meaningless until you define how to measure it. IT shops measure high availability as the percentage of
    time that systems are available, but the provider and consumer of high-availability services must agree on what constitutes availability and how the time is measured.

  • Installing terminal server role on windows server 2012 to use for Windows server 2008 R2 machines.

    Dear
    Our current setup is as follows :-
    Active Driectory is in Windows Server 2003.
    Citrix Xenapp version 5.6 with all Xenapp servers in Windows Server 2003
    Now we are upgrading our Citrix farm to 6.5 and all Xen app servers into Windows Server 2008R2.
    We did the configuration and testing; everything works fine except the terminal server is not configured which gives the pop always for the expiry date.
    We do have license for 2012 terminal server which is not possible to downgrade for some reason and managent need to install new Windows Server 2012 for terminal server and activte the licenses.
    My question is :-
    1 Whether Windows Server 2008 R2 will get RDS cal license from Windows Server 2012 terminal server (RDS CAL license is of windows server 2012).
    2. What is the role and features I need to activate in Server 2012 in order to use for Citrix 6.5 (only applicable fetaure for getting the RDS cal license.) 
    3. Whether I can add this 2012 server into domain. Is it possible to add 2012 server into Windows Server 2003 AD. 
    Your early reply is highly appreciated.

    Thanks Jeremy..
    I got exactly the right answers I am lookoing for ..
    I successfully activated the terminal service on the newly created Windows 2012 Server and installed the retail license pack we had of 50+50+25 keys . It later shows the 125 keys successfully applied.
    when I tried to link the Xenapp (Windows Server2008R2) to the license server, it first gives me error that session host service role is not installed on the ternial server. So I installed that role also in the terminal server.
    But now its anothee error as below.
    RDS Cals are not available for this Remote Desktop Session host server, and licensing Diagnostic has identified licensing problems for the RD session host server.
    1. Is it wrong I did by installing session host server role into the terminal server (but really it gave me error like 'session host server role is not running on the license server' when I tried to link the license server).
    2. Is it the problem that Windows Server 2008 R2 will not get license from 2012 RDS CAL license.
    3. whether Clearing house will take time to update the license.
    Your reply is highly appreciated. I need to know whether any other way I can link the Windows Server  2008 R2 Servers (Xenapp) to the license server.

    Hi,
    Would you please let me know if your OS version is Windows Server 2012 or Windows Server 2012 Essentials? If it’s Windows Server 2012, you’d better ask the question in the File Services and

  • Question : Service Accounts for SQL Server 2012

    Hello,
    I am planning to create AD accounts for SQL Server 2012 services that will be installed on Windows 2012 server.
    I was reading the following
    Configure Windows Service Accounts and Permissions
    and
    Windows Privileges and Rights
    Is there a recommendation / document that would list that assocation of SQL Server Services with Actvie Directory service accounts / privileges required for installation and starting the services.
    Isn't it recommended to create separate account for every service and they should not be local accounts ?
    Hope to hear soon as to what industry standards are being followed for production systems ?
    Thank you very much in advance.
    Regards
    Nikunj

    From MSDN:
    Each service in SQL Server represents a process or a set of processes to manage authentication of SQL Server operations with Windows. Each service can be configured to use its own service account. This facility is exposed
    at installation. SQL Server provides a special tool, SQL Server Configuration Manager, to manage the services configuration.
    When choosing service accounts, consider the principle of least privilege. The service account should have exactly the privileges that it needs to do its job and no more privileges. You also need to consider account isolation; the service accounts should
    not only be different from one another, they should not be used by any other service on the same server. Do not grant additional permissions to the SQL Server service account or the service groups.
    From Glen Berry's Blog:
    You should request that a dedicated domain user account be created for use by the SQL Server service. This should just be a regular, domain account with no special rights on the domain. You do not need or want this account to be a local admin on the machine
    where SQL Server will be installed. The SQL Server setup program will grant the necessary rights on the machine to that account during installation.
    You will also want a separate, dedicated domain user account for the SQL Server Agent service. If you are going to be installing and using other SQL Server related services such as SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS), SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS),
    or SQL Server Analysis Services (SSAS), you will want dedicated domain accounts for each service. The reason you want separate accounts for each service is because they require different rights on the local machine, and having separate accounts is both more
    secure and more resilient, since a problem with one account won’t affect all of the SQL Server Services.
    Depending on your organization, getting these domain accounts created could take anywhere from minutes to weeks to complete, so make sure to allow time for this. For each one of these accounts, you will need their logon credentials for the SQL Server setup
    program. You are going to want to make sure that the accounts don’t have a temporary password that must be changed during the next login. If they are set up that way, make sure to change them to use a strong password, and record this information in a secure
    location.

    when i perform the test after adding the cluster nodes i get this warning on networking.:Validate the servers can communicate
    do i have to enable  UDP port 1434?
    I enabled ports 3343 on both the server but i still get the error.Please see the image below .Please suggest.
    Thank you.

  • Best Practice for Monitoring, on VPS 2012 Server Standard. Extended Events or Profiler?

    Hi,
    What tools do you use to determine if you should tweak SQL Server configuration and optimize code route, or simply bump up your virtual resources? Can someone share a bag of Extended Events to monitor at the VPS level?  
    I'm a reasonably decent SQL Developer but never advanced far with DBA efforts. Especially when the mainstream went virtual. Seemed to me that all SQL Servers flexibility with managing disk and memory went out the window now that everything is 'shared', NATed,
    and Plesked. So I basically dropped out of the conversation and built stuff with SSIS and TSQL.
    Now, I'm charged with assessing a bottleneck on a VPS Windows 2012 Standard running SQL 2012 Express. I've read that running profiler and traces are deprecated and I've looked a bit at the servers extended events on the hosted environment. I have not run anything.
    My question: Does it make sense to think in terms of 'levels' in deciding what to monitor? I consider the SQL Server as a level, then the Windows Server, and finally the Virtual Level. What I'm getting at, is sure, I can monitor SQL Server with a profile tool,
    but it won't know SQL is on a VPS. So do I miss something?
    There used to be day when we had a dedicated physical box for SQL Server. We ran traces using profiler and got good clues on how to improve performance. In todays VPS world we can use sliders to increase virtual memory and disk space. What tools do you use
    to determine if you should tweak SQL Server configuration and optimize code route, or simply bump up your virtual resources? Can someone share a bag of Extended Events to monitor at the VPS level?  
    What Extened Events at the VPS level tell me if SQL Server is struggling with the limited 1Gb virtual memory? I realize this is not a direct question but hopefully someone will point this developer in the right direction.
    John

    Hi John,
    From SQL point of view it doesnt really matter whether the box is physical or virtual. So if you feel there is performance issues with sql and you are well versed with sql profiler troubleshooting go ahead with that. If you feel performance is good, then
    you know where to look into.
    I would first prefer to find whether it is really a problem with SQL before trying to troubleshoot sql side and I use perfmon counters to do that.
    Also I would look at the SQL Error log to see if there are any obvious errors.
    I havent used extended events much so leaving that for others to comment on. :)

  • Selecting a boot drive for Hyper-V 2012 server - is a boot drive performance important?

    I'm setting up a new Hyper-V 2012 server dedicated to virtualization and I'm trying to determine the best choice for the boot drive.
    I have 2x250gb SSD drives i'm considering for storage pools for VM's
    I have an old 80GB SATA drive
    I'm wondering how important the primary boot drive is in a Win 2012 Hyper-V setup. I can partition one of the SSD's to provide a boot partition, or I can just dedicate the 80GB SATA.
    What do you think would be a better choice?
    Edit: A more precise question, why not partition the SSD for boot? Is there any benefit for separating the disks for boot vs just the partition?
    Thanks,
    Deco

    Hello,
    I hope you are having a great day!
    What resources are available to you? If you have hardware RAID, it would be best to configure the SSD drives for RAID 1 (mirrored) and run everything from that. This will provide you fault tolerance in the case of a drive failure.
    If hardware RAID is not available to you, then definitely use the 80GB SATA drive as the OS Boot Drive, without a hardware RAID for the OS disks you will have a single point of failure no matter what disks you use. Yes with SATA drive the system will boot
    up slower :-( , but that is about the only negative.
    This will also enable you to leave the SSD's as RAW un-formatted disks which can then be configured in a Storage Pool with mirroring if you wish and then have the VHD's reside there.
    Absolutely, dedicate the SSD's for the placement of the Virtual Machines Config and Vhd/Vhdx Files.
    For absolute best performance results use VHDX Fixed disks for maximum performance.
    Dynamically expanding VHDX will have a minor almost unnoticeable performance hit (depending on the purpose of the VM) and help ensure that the amount of hard disk space the VHDX file is occupying is kept to a minimum. An example of degradation in performance
    would become noticeable if for instance, the VM is being used as a file repository and users are constantly uploading files.
    The bottom line is, if you don't have hardware RAID for the OS you always have a single point of failure, so hope for the best and keep great backups.
