System center sql 2012 remote or local install

Guys I'm testing System Center 2012 R2 right now I plan on installing configuration manager for starters. I would like to ask you guys did you install your sql server instance locally for System Center or do you have a remote SQL server installation that
System Center is using are there any pros for installing a local instance over a remote one? Also I was reading somewhere that Sytem Center comes with an SQL server license I always assumed that it would come with SQL Server express and not full blown
SQL Server. So with that said does System Center incluse a full blown SQL Server license?

Hi,
In test environment, typically SQL can be on local instance. However in production environment, you can place SQL on remote as when collocated the site server supports a maximum of 50,000 Clients, and if database server is installed on
a Remote server, the Site-Server supports up to 100,000 Clients.
In System Center 2012, along with any edition of Server Management License you get a run-time instance of SQL Server Standard edition when utilized for the SQL engine used by the System Center components.

Providing configuration file for SQL 2012 Express installation which installing HPC 2012 R2

Hi guys,
I need to know if there is any way to provide configuration file for SQL 2012 Express installation which installing HPC 2012 R2?
I am scripting installation on HPC 2012 R2 with default SQL 2012 Express edition but I am not able to find any option to provide a configuation file for SQL 2012 Express installaiton.
Thanks,
Vivs.

Hi Vivs,
As my understanding, you want to generate a configuration file and install SQL Server 2012 express edition using that configuration file.
If that is the case, firstly, you could generate the configuration file following the steps below since express edition is run in AutoAdvance mode which skips "Ready to Install" page.
1.Double-click SQL Server installation file in your local drive, you will see that the file will be extracted to a temporary folder. Please make a note of what directory it is extracted to. For example, it could be in c:\ followed by a folder name which
will be a set of random letters and numbers "gy7h8hjhhj67rfs7".
2.Cancel installation. Then click on the Start button on the task bar, click run, type the command cmd.exe, and go to that directory via cmd.
3.Execute the following command: setup.exe /ACTION=INSTALL /UIMODE=Normal
4.Follow the wizard through to the 'Ready to Install' page. The path to the configuration file is specified in the 'Ready to Install' page in the configuration file path section.
5.Cancel the setup without actually completing the installation, to generate the INI file.
Secondly, to install SQL Server using Command Prompt, go to the SQL Server installation media root (the temporary folder) from the command prompt and specify the ConfigurationFile.ini as a parameter as shown below.
Setup.exe /ConfigurationFile=ConfigurationFile.INI
For more information about the process, please refer to the article:

System Center DPM 2012 R2 Issue backing up Exchange 2010

I was previously using System Center DPM 2010 to back up an Exchange 2010 server without any issues. we recently upgraded to DPM 2012 R2 and I followed all of the steps to install it properly on the Exchange Server. However, DPM cannot see the Exchange DB correctly and it is not allowing it run the cleanup (eseutil.exe) on the Exchange Server, leading to space issues. What do I need to do to resolve this issue?
This topic first appeared in the Spiceworks Community

Hi,
This is a documentation error and will get it addressed. DPM 2012 R2 RTM does still support page file VHD exclusion same as DPM 2012 SP1.

Pagefile exclusion for VHDs is not functional System Center DPM 2012 R2

The Release Notes for Data Protection Manager in System Center 2012 R2 state that:
Pagefile exclusion for VHDs is not functional
Description: Pagefile exclusion for virtual hard disk files (VHDs) is not functional.
Workaround: None.
I feel silly asking this in the forums, but my mind just can't wrap around the fact that this feature (that was just recently added in DPM 2012 SP1) is broken in the new release of 2012 R2. Does anyone with actual knowledge of the product have any
additional info on this issue? Do we need to wait for a service pack to fix it or are there possibly ANY workarounds or situations where it might be used?
TIA

SQL 2012 standart. error when installing

hello there I'm having trouble installing SQL server 2012. it says unauthorized action during process.
trying to do repair and no good
the error log is here :

The instance name is coming Unconfigured, I dont know what that exactly means but gives m hunch that SQL Server is configured incorrectly so you must repair it. You already have instance of SQL Server 2012 standard installed if you see "Product

System Center Orchestrator 2012 R2 Runbook needed to monitor multiple folders

I've written script that will scan ~25 folders and pick the folder(s) with files in it and spit out the path for one of those folders. I then want to monitor the folder wait for the folder to empty then the script should rerun and spit out
the next folder that contains files and so on. Lastly when all folders are empty the script should return NULL or something like that so I can tell the RB to quit.
The problem with the monitor folder object is that you cant link an object before it.
Ideas? I thought about running the script in another RB and calling the monitor RB but don't know how to pass values (folder path that contains files) to the monitor folder object. Also, I want the RB to only run when I trigger is and stop when all
folders are empty.
Thanks!

Hi,
use the "Get File Status" Activity within a Runbook.
Configure a Loop until "File exists equals false":
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh403826.aspx
The "Monitor" Activities can only be the first Activity in a Runbook.

Tape Consumption/Utilization on System Center Data Protection Manager 2012

Hi Guys,
I have setup System Center DPM 2012 for Exchange 2010 Backup, the tape library that i am using is Dell TL4000 with 45 Slots and two LTO 5 Drives. The total size of Exchange backup is 33 TB but the no. of tapes used to backup are 16 LTO5 tapes.
The native capacity of LTO5 tape is 1.5 TB and the compressed capacity is 3 TB.
The total no. of tapes used for exchange backup are 16 therefore 16 Tapes x 3 TB = 48 TB where as the total backup size of exchange is 33 TB which means there is a complete wastage of 15 TB tape storage.
Does any one know if its a known issue on DPM? Is there a way where i can tweak the tape utilization? Any help will be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
Sajeel

Hi,
The LTO5 compression ratio is usually an average of 2:1 depending on the data being written. Some data is not compressible like .jpg .bmp etc. so it's not predictable ahead of time how much data will fill a tape. The fact
that you are achieving greater than native capacity shows that compression is enabled and working.
Besides the data not compressing as much as you like, the only other explanation for not getting more data on a tape is it may not be filling before we either get an EOM from the drive, or we get an IO error that DPM is going to convert to an EOM.
To see if it is the latter check the DPMRA Errlogs for the error code 0x8007045D.
Open an Administrative command prompt.
CD C:\Program file\Microsoft System Center 2012\DPM\DPM\Temp
Find /I "0x8007045D" DPMRA*.Errlog >C:\temp\DPMRA0x8007045D.TXT
Notepad C:\temp\DPMRA0x8007045D.TXT
If you find any, add the registry settings for BufferQueueSize and BusyRetryCount using the following

Please clarify license about server managed and configuration manager client ML system center 2012

Could clarify why managed servers License required ,already we bought the configuration manager client ML License ? We are planing to buy system center operation manager 2012

Hello,
if you wants planing to Monitoring your AD with Exchange Server and you have only one physical Server with for example 2 CPUs and 2 VMs, you need to purchase the System Center Standard 2012 R2 SML for Monitoring your Server environement. However, if
your AD is a datacenter or for example 4 x Windows Server Standard with 8 VMs than, you need to purchase the System Center datacenter SML.
the System Center SML is licensed per physical Server: one license up to two physical CPUs. if you have for 2 physical Hosts with 2 CPUs each, you need to purchase two System Center licenses.
the only difference between Standard and datacenter is only about virtualization rights
for System Center Operation Manager for your Clients Desktop, you need to purchase the System Center Client Management Suite includes: Operation Manager; Services Manager; Data Protection Manager and Orchestrator.
thanks

Migrating System Center Databases from cluster to Standalone

Hi
We have been advised to migrate all our System Center SQL DB's (mainly ConfigMgr, OpsMgr, ServiceMgr and Scorch) which are currently running on mostly 4 nodes SQL clusters (with different other business services and impacting the System Center Performance
as Memory and CPU constantly hitting above 90%) to standalone SQL environment.
OS - Windows Server 2008 R2 / Windows Server 2012
SQL - SQL Server 2008 R2 / SQL Server 2012
Can someone advice steps or strategy to execute this?

Is this the right SQL architecture for System Center?
How do you optimize this? I ran both queries and it returned zero values.
The DR plan is to implement back up strategy with SCDPM and keep backup copies on Azure Cloud. Plus, we will follow the DR plans for each System Center Product.

System Center 2012 R2 install: SQL server Data file and log file

This might be a dumb question, but I can't find the answer anywhere.
I'm installing a new instance of System Center 2012 R2 on a new server, I'm stuck on the SQL Server data file section. Everytime I put in a path, it says that tne path does not exist. I'm I supposed to be creating some sort of SQL Server
data file and log file before this installation, I didn't get this prompt when installing System Center 2012 SP1 or hen I upgraded from System Center 2012 SP1 to System Center 2012 R2
My SQL is on a different server
Thank you in advanced

Have you reviewed the setup.log?
On a side note, why would you put the database file on the same drive as the OS? That defeats the whole purpose of having a remote SQL Server. Why use a remote SQL Server in the first place.

System Center 2012 R2 DPM Support Files installation has failed when running Remote SQL Prep on SQL server

I am trying to install DPM 2012 R2 and one of the pre-reqs is to run 'DPM Remote SQL Prep' before kicking off the DPM installation. My SQL server is 2012 SP1 and when I select this option, I get an error straight away telling me 'System Center 2012
R2 DPM Support Files installation has failed'.
Not sure how to troubleshoot this as doing a search did not bring up anything.

Is is possible to install System Center 2012 R2 products using SQL aliases names

Hello,
Is there a way to install System Center 2012 R2 using SQL aliases, and if applicable, which System Center products support this scenario ?
I have it as an acceptance criteria, but I'm not able to make it work.

So, I would like to hear from a voice of someone who have tried this, and can confirm if it is applicable or not.
ok, I have to ask the stupid question but.... What is wrong with your voice?? The setup tells you it is not supported what more do you want?
