Sharepoint 2013 not installed yet, so should I install Sharepointg Integrated mode on my SQL server right now?

I'm installing SQL 2008 R2 onto a Windows 2008 R2 server in preperation for a Sharepoint 2013 install.
In the midst of the SQL installation here I have the option of installing the Sharepoint Mode Default Configuration.
Should I do this or should I continue installing with native mode dafeult configuration. Then perhaps adding the Sharepoint integration afterwards.
What would you advise?

You did not mention if you are planning more than 1 server, but best practice would dictate so.
If true, then, do NOT install the SRS components (presume you mean those) on the SQL box.
If you are planning to have BOTH SSRS in Native mode and also a 2nd instance in SharePoint mode, then you "may" elect to install the SSRS Native mode elements on your SQL Server.
You want to install the SSRS instance in SharePoint mode on one of your SharePoint servers.
The requirement for SSRS in SharePoint mode is that it be placed on a SharePoint server. You have two options:
1. Make your SQL Server a full fledged SharePoint server in order to use SSRS in SharePoint mode (not recommended)
2. Setup SSRS on a SharePoint server (recommended)
Hope this helps,
Thanks, Eric S. Pcubed

I have tried from so many forms. This is so frustrating. Thank for everyone/anyone who wants to help. So this is what happened: I had to uninstall my previous sqlserver 2012(which worked great) for some reason, and I uninstalled everything from that download.
Then I installed the trial edition of sql server 2012 (64 Bit) and It wouldn't connect to the database. (Error mentioned above.) My local DB is COWBOYS. (COWBOYS is also my computer name.) After this, I have tried downloading sqlexpress and sqlserver 64bit
many times and cannot connect to my local DB.
How do I connect to my Local DB?
Also, I think this might help: (When I run sqlserve.exe, which I was able to find in C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\110\LocalDB\Binn, I get an error: Your SQL server installation is either corrupt or has been tampered with(Error getting
instance ID from name). Please uninstall then re-run setup to correct this problem.
I would happily re install it, if it wasn't my 20th time.
I don't have any remote connections, I don't use username/password, only window authentication. I work mostly on visual studio, but without able to store /retrieve data, I don't know how to survive.
May be the solution is very simple, but I am too frustrated.
Some of the things I have tried:
From a command prompt, enter one of the following commands:
net start "SQL Server Agent (MSSQLSERVER)" OR
net start "SQL Server Agent(instancename)"(for instance)
on my sql configuration, I cannot start anything because there is nothing there to start. I can post more details, if that would help. Also, some more details about the error:

Any one that can help me, I will be greatful. Thank you so much. p.s. please ask me anything if you have any questions.

It sounds like there are a couple things going on here. First check if you have a successful install of SQL Server, then we'll figure out the connection issues.
Can you launch SQL Server Configuration Manager and check for SQL Server (MSSQLSERVER) if default instance or SQL Server (other name) if you've configured your instance as a named instance. Once you find this, make sure the service is started.
If not started, try to start it and see if it throws an error. If you get an error, post the error message your hitting. If the service starts, you can then launch SSMS and try to connect. If you have a default instance, you can use the machine
name in the connection dialog. Ex: "COWBOYS" where Cowboys is the machine name. However, if you named the SQL Server instance during install, you'll need to connect using the machine\instance format. Ex: COWBOYS\Romo (where Romo
is the instance name you set during install).
You can also look at the summary.txt file in the SQL Server setup error logs to see what happened on the most recent install. Past install history is archived in the log folder if you need to dig those up to help troubleshoot, but the most
recent one may help get to the bottom of it if there is an issue with setup detecting a prior instance that needs to be repaired.

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)
How Can i solve this?

1. Make sure SQL Server Service is running
2. If a named instance, make sure SQL Server browser service is running
3. Make sure SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections
4. Examine the SQL Server error log for messages confirming that SQL is listening on the expected network interfaces and ports
5. Test server connectivity with PING from the client machine
6. Test port connectivity using TELNET or PowerShell to the server and port (from step 4) from the client machine. For example
a. TELNET <server-name> 1433
b. PowerShell: 1433 | % { echo ((new-object Net.Sockets.TcpClient).Connect("YourServerName",$_)) "server listening on TCP port $_" }
7. Check firewall settings if step 5 or 6 connectivity test fails

There is no way to consolidate iTunes accounts.

You've apparently purchased content with both Apple ID's. Sign into the device with the correct Apple ID and sync the content.

Hi.
Just wondering, since it seems to be about permissions, did you see this in the TechNet article:
Important:
The account that is used by the application pool must also have Full Control permissions to the User Profile service application. If you create a new application pool and a new account, make sure that
you add the account to the list of accounts that can use the User Profile Service Application, and grant Full Control permissions to the account. For more information, see
Restrict or enable access to a service application (SharePoint 2013).

SharePoint 2013 Not Loading CSS On Site Template

Hi
I have a question regarding adding a site collection with a custom template ( by selecting a template later option)
Basically I have a site that I need to move over from one server to another. The template saves as a template no problem with all lists etc.
When adding the site collection, I choose custom and select template later. After going to the site collection it then asks to pick a template, after which I choose solution gallery and upload and activate the site template I made before. I then return to
template picker page and choose the custom template uploaded
The problem I am having is that when the template is chosen and being used it does not load any of the css or anything. Everything is just listed downwards and all jumbled up all over the place.
Both servers are running SP2013. The Site Template doesnt have any major things on it apart from some custom new/edit forms and normal SPD 2013 Workflows.
Any ideas on how I can get the CSS to load?

Hi
you can check if css have loaded but isn't the last one !
to do this use a dev tool ( F12 in IE ) and check for an element if a style from your custom css file is there and overwrited by other css file )
For more details check this doc

What should I use BCS or directly connect to sql server to get data.

Hi All,
I have a requierment where the data is in the sql server.
We are using sharepoint webpart to show the data from the sql.
Should i get the data from the sql server using connection string.
Is there any better way to get data from Sql server table and show that in the custom asp.net form.
Regards
Vinod

As I see the questions is in SharePoint 2013 forum.
Assuming you have SharePoint 2013/2010, you can create Create/Read/Update/Delete operations on directly sql table using BCS service of SharePoint. That will save you default development of web part and handle all information properly.
If you don't want to use BCS and sql (not sharepoint sql) information required, you can create custom web part/app part.
Thanks, Ashish | Please mark a post helpful/answer if it is helpful or answer your query.

SP 2013 - Database Recovery Mode When Using SQL Server Mirroring

Hello Community,
Our DBA is configuring a High Availability Architecture for our SharePoint 2013 Farm. Essentially he is using SQL Server Database mirroring with a clustered automatic failover using a witness server. He has informed me that mirroring requires
that the databases are set to Full Recovery Mode, but that several of the databases are set to Simple Recovery Mode, the databases are the following:
SearchService_DB
SearchService_DB_CrawlStore
SearchService_DB_AnalyticsReportingStore
SearchService_DB_LinksStore
WSS_UsageApplication
User_Profile_DB
User_Sync_DB
User_Social_DB
However, when I checked the following article -
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc678868.aspx - I see that Simple Recovery Mode is the default configuration for these databases. So, finally, here is my question - will it be detrimental to these databases to set them to the Full Recovery
Mode?
Thanks!

This really depends on your recovery objectives. The main reason for taking log backups, aside from truncating the log, is to be able to recover to a specific point-in-time. This is very helpful in mission-critical, highly transactional systems. I have not
seen a SharePoint environment require a point-in-time restore of the content or application service database. So for this case, you can overwrite the LDF bakups. Just make sure that you can recover your databases appropriately and meet your recovery objectives
on the farm level.
As far as the log file growth is concerned, you are correct. If you cap the size of your LDF file to let's say 10 GB, regular log backups will truncate the log, thereby, having space for additional transaction log records. The only risk here is when your
log backups are not frequent enough that the LDF file fills up before the next log backup runs to truncate the log. You run the risk of your database behaving as read-only and that will affect the site collections/applications using those databases

Install BI Tools with paid VS2008 Pro in workstation and paid Sql Server 2008 R2 in server?

My workstation has VS2008 Pro (paid) and Sql Express (free); our Windows Enterprise server has SQL Server 2008 R2 RTM (paid).
In other words, my workstation may not have a paid version of the sql server DB, but our server does. Is there a possibility that I can install the BI development tools in my workstation?
Thanks.

The Business Intelligence Development Studio is not available on SQL Server 2008 Express Edition. So if you want to the BIDS tool is available on your workstation, then you need to change the edition from Express to other edition.
Besides, you can install SQL Server Data Tools - Business Intelligence for Visual Studio 2012 on your workstation, in this case, the BI development tools is available on your workstation. The SQL Server Data Tools - Business Intelligence for Visual Studio

I dropped my iPhone 4 while using it. When I picked it up, it would not turn on. I don't have the money to get it fixed right now. What am I supposed to do??

I dropped my iPhone 4 while using it. When I picked it up, it would not turn on. I have tried charging it. I don't have the money to get it fixed right now. What am I supposed to do??

You can try resetting it to see if that turns it on, but if it does not work, the iPhone is probably damaged from the fall and you should take it to an Apple Store so that they can have a look and determine if it is repairable. An out of warranty replacement will cost you money but much less than if you had to buy a new phone.
