SQL 2012 Always On Availability Create Key for Dynamics CRM syntax

Hi I am trying to follow this terribly written article to setup CRM to be part of a SQL alwayson availability group.  
The part that is pissing me off is the create SQL logins.  http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj822357.aspx#BKMK_always_updateorg
So many errors with this post causing so much frustration.  What is the actual correct Syntax for creating the key?
Obviously you have to use a UNC path to the CRM front end server.  SQL doesnt like UNC and I think an earlier guy said it doesnt like double quotes.  Here is what I have and it does not like it.  Its hard to see but right before end I have two
single quotes to close it.  It's complaining about the \\ in the UNC path.  
IF NOT EXISTS (SELECT * FROM sys.asymmetric_keys WHERE name = 'MSCRMSqlClrKey') BEGIN EXECUTE ('CREATE ASYMMETRIC KEY MSCRMSqlClrKey FROM EXECUTABLE FILE ='\\CRM2013\C$\Program Files\Microsoft Dynamics CRM\tools\Microsoft.Crm.SqlClr.Helper.dll'')END

I finally got it working not by using the syntax in that article though.  First I did the select all from to see if the key existed by itself  
SELECT * FROM sys.asymmetric_keys WHERE name = 'MSCRMSqlClrKey'
NO key was there so then I did 
CREATE ASYMMETRIC KEY MSCRMSqlClrKey FROM EXECUTABLE FILE ='C:\Program Files\Microsoft Dynamics CRM\tools\Microsoft.Crm.SqlClr.Helper.dll'

  • SQL 2012 Always On Availability Groups

    Has anyone configured FIM SYnc, FIM Service and MSF in SQL 2012 Always On Availability groups
    I do not believe we can configure the SQL connection string for FIM Sync or FIM Service to include "multisubnetfailover"
    TIA

    I commented on this here:https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/64f55628-3b5d-4d16-9044-dcbe7053581d/lack-of-support-for-fim-database-mirroring?forum=ilm2
    Additional comments:
    SQL Server Always On Failover Cluster Instances should be supported just as SQL Clustering is supported.
    SQL Server Always On Availability Groups are not supported, just as Database Mirroring in synchronous mode (which is required for automatic failover) is not supported. I can't find authoritative statements of this on the web. But I know this to be the
    case.
    Ultimately, the reason for lack of support for mirroring (for automatic failover or in synchronous mode) is that the product group has said so (in conferences and webinars). Meaning the product group has not tested it or has and decided that it doesn't
    work or adds risk.
    Possible underlying reasons:
    1) To do automatic failover with mirroring or Availability groups you must edit the connection string. The way FIM builds the connection string out of the components in the registry don't permit this.
    2) Running mirroring in synchronous mode slows down performance in two ways: first is the additional traffic to send it to the mirror partner (or replica), second and most important is that synchronous requires that the primary not truly commit the transaction
    until it has been committed to the secondary which means transactions take longer. For some products this can result in an unacceptable performance degradation.
    Hopefully, MIM will support Availability groups.

  • Clustering Pre-reqs for sql 2012 always on availability group

    Hello,
    I'm currently in the planning stages of building a sql 2012 alwaysON cluster on Windows server 2012. I'm a bit confused with some of the requirements.
    Does  windows 2012 clustering require a heartbeat network as well a nic that communicates with the domain?
    For a 2 node 2012 always on sql cluster which type of cluster should I use? node majority? node majority plus fileshare?
    thanks!

    I found this information regarding SQL 2014. This could be helpful
    "We strongly recommend that you use the same network links for communications between WSFC cluster members and communications
    between availability replicas. Using separate network links can cause unexpected behaviors if some of links fail (even intermittently).
    For example, for an availability group to support automatic failover, the secondary replica that is the automatic-failover partner must be in the SYNCHRONIZED state. If the network link to this secondary replica fails (even intermittently), the replica enters
    the UNSYNCHRONIZED state and cannot begin to resynchronize until the link is restored. If the WSFC cluster requests an automatic failover while the secondary replica is unsynchronized, automatic failover will not occur."

  • Sql 2012 always on availability group use cases

    i have setup the always on availability group between 2 sql servers. 
    in the primary site, my app is connected to the primary site. 
    The DB is in an always on group replicated to the secondary site. 
    so what is the use of the secondary replica for? 
    If the primary db server goes down, what will happen?
    Can apps use the replica db? but its read only
    what is the purpose of this?

    I agree with David.
    JonDoe,
    What you are asking is known as "active secondary" in AlwaysOn 
    http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff878253.aspx
    Automatic failover can be configured. Refer

  • Which Edition of Windows is required for using SQL 2012 Always On Availability Groups

    I want to use the new feature of having 2 secondary mirror replicas. the first secondary replica will be sync the second one will be async.
    Currently I have SQL Enterprise license and Windows 2008 R2 Standard license.
    Will I be required to upgrade to Windows Enterprise license to use Always On? (since this feature depends on Windows clustering?)
    Can you please confirm if SQL Always On feature can be used on Windows 2008 R2 standard or not?
    MSDNStudent Knows not much!

    Always On is available with Standard Edition but it supports only 2 nodes. 
    AlwaysOn is a bigger umbrella which covers two features. AlwaysOn Availability Groups (AG) and AlwaysOn Failover Cluster Instance (FCI).
    FCI for 2 node is supported. You can't use AG feature in SQL Server Standard Edition

  • Sql 2012 always on setup

    I got a sql 2012 always on setup between 2 standalone servers in 2 different locations.
    I do not understand why I need cluster manager managing the 2 nodes.
    I have cluster manager but there is no shared disks. there are 2 nodes under cluster manager and one cluster name.
    what would be the different between the cluster name here and the availability group listener name in sql 2012? they are both different names

  • 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.

  • SQL 2012 Always on AG Primay went to secondary

    I have a Database in sql 2012 in an Always on AG that went from primary to secondary. I am not sure what happened or made it failover to secondary. So my apps were pointing to the primary all had problems updating the database but were still running.
    what do I have to change on my app so that they point to the AG listener instead of just the primary server?
    this way whenever the primary changes, the app will use the other server as primary

    Hi JonDoe,
    If an availability group possesses only one secondary replica and it is not configured to allow read-access to the secondary replica, clients can connect to the primary replica by using a database mirroring connection string.
     Optionally, the connection string can also supply the name of another server instance, the
    failover partner name, to identify the server instance that initially hosts the secondary replica as the failover partner name.
    While migrating from database mirroring to AlwaysOn Availability Groups, applications can specify the database mirroring connection string as long as only one secondary replica exists and it disallows user connections. For more information,
    see: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh213417.aspx#CCBehaviorOnFailover
    There is an article about configure SQL Server to automatically redirect the read-only workloads after a failover in AlwayOn Availability Groups, you can review it.

  • 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.

    Can the company have just one premium account in order to give their employees access or is it obligatory for each employee concerned to have a premium account?
    Linkedin indicates in the process to "subscribe for a LinkedIn account Sales Plus or more for your team", but it is not very clear.

  • WMI Class Reference for Dynamics CRM Performance Counters

    Hello,
    I am trying to monitor a MS Dynamics CRM 2013 instance using the

    I will be writing VB Script to collect the performance counter data via WMI. 
    I couldn't find out the WMI class reference the Dynamics CRM 2013 performance counters.  
    What I meant was, some thing similar to the 'Windows Server Cluster' Object and Performance counter class, as given below.

    Hi David,
    Sorry for posting in the wrong forum. Will correct it in future.
    I can't use the Perfmon as I have a java application which will call the VB Script periodically to collect the data. I need to write both VB Script and Powershell scripts. I need to have the class reference to understand the data type of each attribute in
    a performance counter. For ex,
    The 'CRMAuthentication' counter has the following attributes. 
    Caption
    ClaimsAuthenticationAttemptsInTheLastMinute
    ClaimsAuthenticationFailuresInTheLastMinute
    Description
    It is necessary to understand the datatype each attributes in the all Performance Counters.
