SQL SERVER AUDITING TOOL.

hi
I am configuring Auditing on SLQ Server 2008 and 2012
My main target is to Audit for DML (Delete and Update) operations for few specific AD GROUPS, which are having multiple domain accounts and sql accounts as AD Group members.
Everything is done perfectly if I audit any domain account or any sql server account individually. but if I audit for a AD Group in that case I am not getting any result .
for better understand ..
suppose we have accounts (sQL and Domain) which are member of AD Groups having 'SA'
if I individually audit all those domain account as Principal Name I can see the result (Delete,Update) but if I Audit for the AD Group as principal nothing is showing ..
Please help me how to audit AD Group .. in our environment we have AD groups which are having 100 of members for any particular AD Group and we have several AD Groups which we need to Audit.
GG

I would suggest go ahead with thirdparty tools for sql & windows...
Quest is best option if you wish...

SQL Server Management Tools - Could not write value to key \SOFTWARE. Error code: 1406

Detailed Results:
Feature: Management Tools-Basic
Status: Failed
Component Name: Sql Server Management Studio
Component Error code: 1406
Error Description: Could not write value to key \SOFTWARE. Verify that you have sufficient access to that key, or contact your support personnel.
The first time the installer worked installing perfectly, but I needed an named instance of "SQL2008", so I removed the instances. After this re-installing is not working.
From past 3-4 days I went through most of the links which has provided solutions for error code 1406, and not having success for installing.
I have tried these options,
1) Ran the installer using "Run as Administrator"option. I am an Administrator user for the machine.
2) In Registry Editor, right-click HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software, and then click Permissions. Click Add, type Everyone, and then click OK. Under Group or user names, click Everyone. Under Permissions, click to select Full Control in the Allow column, and then
click OK.
3) Uninstalled the Sql server product, and used Revo Uninstaller / CCleaner to clean the registry and the remaining files and folders.
4) Multiple versions of SQL installers have been tried (SQL 2008/2012/2014)
5) Logged in as local/Administrator for the machine, tried the similar steps.
6) The same installers are still working in one of the virtual machines for multiple times of installation and uninstallation without having any problems.
Please let me know, if needed further information. Please provide help for installing SQL server management studio.
Regards,
Ananth.

I have the same problem.
I can not install MSSQLManagementStudio. I suppose
that is not the fault of permissions
. I have tried to
install as an administrator
on the computer in the domain where the account has domain administrator permissions.The account is added to the local administrators.
I also have tried to install as local administrator
account after the removal of the domain.
With the same result.
Operating System Windows 8.1 Prof.
I have tried 2012, 2012with SP1 , 2012x86 , 2014. All with same result:

SSIS: To run a SSIS package outside of SQL Server Data Tools you must install SCR - DP1 Connections of Integration Services or higher

We have SSIS installed on a machine that is not part of a cluster but it is accessible by the cluster.
Our job we have running on the cluster is failing with the following error:
Error: 2014-01-31 09:14:37.52 Code: 0xC000F427 Source: SCR - DP1 Connections
Description: To run a SSIS package outside of SQL Server Data Tools you must install SCR - DP1 Connections of Integration Services or higher. End Error
Any advice or information on how to resolve this would be great.
Many Thanks.

Hi NessaBella,
Integration Services service is not a cluster-aware service, and does not support failover from one cluster node to another. Therefore, in a clustered environment, Integration Services should be installed and started as a stand-alone service on each node
in the cluster.
Based on the error message, it seems that SSIS is not installed on the cluster node on which the job was running. Although SSIS is installed on a machine that is not part of the cluster and can be accessed by each cluster node, the SSIS service installed
on a remote server cannot be used a cluster node. So, please install the shared feature SQL Server Integration Services on each cluster node. Besides, if certain packages need to run in 32-bit mode in certain jobs and the SQL Server installed is 64-bit version,
you also need to install BIDS/SSDT on the cluster node to get the 32-bit runtime of SSIS.

SQL Server Data Tools – Business Intelligence for Visual Studio 2013 (SSDT BI) and SSIS on SQL Server 2012

This great blog entry titled
SQL Server Data Tools - Business Intelligence for Visual Studio 2013 (SSDT BI), link below, highlights the lack of support for SSIS projects using SQL Server 2012, VS 2013 and SSDT BI for VS 2013. I see there is a new version
on SSDT BI for VS 2013 (12.0.2430.0, File Name: SSDTBI_x86_ENU.exe, Date Published: 10/27/2014) link below.
Does this version support SSIS projects using SQL Server 2012 using VS 2013 and SSDT BI for VS 2013?

Hi cjrinpdx,
According to the picture, it seems that we can use SSIS 2012 support is not included in SSDT-BI for VS 2013. And based on the previous versions, SSIS always different from SSRS, SSAS.
SSDT-BI for Visual Studio 2012 supports versions of SQL Server as follows:
SSAS project can target SQL 2012 or lower
SSRS project can target SQL 2012 or lower
SSIS project can target only SQL 2012
The following blog is for your reference:

Since I have no environment to test this at this moment,
I recommend you that submit the feedback at

Thank you for your understanding.

SQL Server Data Tools for SQL 2014 setup

Hello,
I have been using SQL server 2008 with Visual Studio 2008 to perform the ETL processes.
I have recently got SQL 2014 and realized that Business Intelligence Development Studio does not come with it so I have to download SQL Server Data Tools for Visual Basics 2012 or 2013 from:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/data/hh297027
Can someone advise what exactly I have to do if I want to start using SQL 2014 with SSDT? I still have VB 2008 installed and all my packages were created with that version.
Do I need to download VB 2012 or 2013 plus SSDT and then SSDT? Do I also uninstall VB2008?
Thanks in advnce

Hello,
If you want to keep developing packages for SQL Server 2008 then you need to use BIDS 2008, you cannot use SSDT.
If you want to upgrade BIDS projects to SSDT, then you can use Integration Services Project Conversion Wizard from Visual
Studio or SSIS Package Upgrade Wizard from SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS).
Hope this helps.

SQL Server Audit Feature for SQL Azure

What is the status of support for SQL Server Audit features in SQL Azure? If auditing is supported in SQL Azure, can you point me to some resources that describe best practices for using auditing in SQL Azure?

New feature in Azure SQL Database!
Azure SQL Database Auditing tracks database events and writes audited events to an audit log in your Azure Storage account. Auditing is available in preview for Basic, Standard, and Premium service tiers. Auditing can help you maintain regulatory compliance,
understand database activity, and gain insight into discrepancies and anomalies that could indicate business concerns or suspected security violations.

Error installing SQL Server Data Tools - Business Intelligence for Visual Studio 2013

Hi
I am trying to install SQL Server Data Tools - Business Intelligence for Visual Studio 2013 and am getting the following error
This installation package could not be opened. Contact the application vendor to verify that this is a valid Windows Installer package.
I am running
Windows 8.1 x64
SQL Server 2014 Developer Edition x64
Visual Studio 2013 Professional
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Biztalk Developer

Could you please check if Windows Installer service is running and is in automatic startup mode.
The other thing is, if you’re running an x64-based SQL instance (64-bit), make sure to select “New Instance” on the Installation Type page, and NOT “Add features to an existing instance”.

Old Versions of SQL Server Data Tools

Hi, a quick and silly question but trying to clean up my system and was wondering is it safe to uninstall the older versions of SQL Server Data Tools??
I didn't want to do it if I am going to break anything in VS 2013 or SSMS 2014
Thanks,
Vinod

A tiny word of caution
If you have older SQL Servers that you manage 2000, 2005 etc then ensure that you have the management and data tools available somewhere else for these systems before removing them from your system.
