Utilizing SQL Server as Lync Server 2013 backend and monitoring in different forest

Hello,
We are in process of deploying the Lync Server 2013 infrastructure enterprise pool, have a query regarding Lync Backend server.
Can we use a SQL server in all together different forest as backend for Lync 2013 topology, there is a two-way forest trust between the forests?

You can do if you can communicate the back-end server successfully. But it is not supported.
Please check the supported Active Directory topologies at

SQL Server Management Studio and Native Client different behaviour on delete

I have a problem with transaction containing insert and delete to same table and some select/insert/update to some other tables. Problematic table has primary key defined as combination of column1 and column2.
When two different instances using Native Client execute simultaneously this code and make inserts to table then delete part of code causes deadlock. However this doesn't happen when trying this situation in MS SQL Server Management Studio query.
Is there some option that is missing from Native Client connection string which can cause this different behaviour?

Hello,
I don't think there is a difference in the behavior. SSMS uses ADO.NET and that Provider base on the Native Client.
The difference will be more that way, when the transaction is commited and so the locks released. I guess your application keeps the transaction (much) longer open; you should commit a transaction as soon as possible to avoid long time locks and so
deadlocks.

SQL SERVER AGENT DASHBOARD and Monitoring system

Hi
we are shopping around for a SQL SERVER management system where users that are not familiar with SQL can monitor Jobs and Job steps. Users will be able to see when a job failed and restart the job (if allowed) or call DBAs if needed based on instructions.
does anybody know of such a tool that would help operations peform their job?
thanks

Sorry mistakenly marked as proposed answer.
Sql Server 2012 has come with so many nice features which has helped me also to get validated so many stuffs in on place and that is called as Policy Based Management. Here I need to register all required servers and then all applicable policies will be
validated by executing them on daily or whenever you like.
Also Central Management Server:
An instance of SQL Server that is designated as a Central Management Server maintains server groups that contain the connection information for one or more instances of SQL Server. Transact-SQL statements and Policy-Based Management policies can be executed
at the same time against server groups. You can also view the SQL Server log files on instances that are managed through a Central Management Server. Versions of SQL Server that are earlier than SQL Server 2008 cannot be designated as a Central Management
Server.
Transact-SQL statements can also be executed against local server groups in Registered Servers.
More on below link:http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-in/library/bb895144.aspx
For question on SSRS, there is option to embed buttons and by which you have option to put some commaned to execute like you can call some batch file to execute some jobs on other servers by using osql and others. This way you can try and check.

Lync Standard Edition Server pairing -- Archiving and monitoring collocated but Single SQL backend

Hi,
I have a scenario where in ---we have Two Standard Edition Servers ( SE1 and SE2) with 1K users each ( Total 2K in one Site) paired to enable High Availability. The Standard Edition Server has archiving and monitoring and mediation server collocated.
For archiving + monitoring database we have a Seperate SQL enterprise edition server.
Quetions:
1. Can we use single SQL Enterprise Edition as backend for (archiving and monitoring ) for both SE1 and SE2 ?
2. If yes, do we need two seperate instances?
3. If not, could you please suggest the best possible solution in such an environment ?
Regards,
Archana Rao

Hi ArchanaVR,
Agree with Michael, and add some more details.
By default, the SQL Server Express back-end database is collocated on the Standard Edition server. You cannot move it to a separate computer. With one exception, you cannot collocate other databases on the Standard Edition server. If you choose to deploy
Persistent Chat Server on a Standard Edition server, you can collocate the Persistent chat database and the Persistent Chat Compliance database on the same Standard Edition server.
You can collocate each of the following databases on a single database server:
Monitoring database
Archiving database
A back-end database for an Enterprise Edition Front End pool
You can collocate any or any or all of these databases in a single SQL instance or use a separate SQL instances for each, with the following limitations:
Each SQL instance can contain only a single back-end database (for an Enterprise Edition Front End pool), single Monitoring database, single Archiving database, single persistent chat database, and single persistent chat compliance database.
The database server cannot support more than one Enterprise Edition Front End pool, one server running Archiving, one server running Monitoring, single Persistent Chat database, and single Persistent Chat compliance database, but it can support one of each,
regardless of whether the databases use the same instance of SQL Server or separate instances of SQL Server.

Automatically start SQL Agent service after SQL Server service fails and starts.

Hi!
I have SQL Server 2008 R2 with two main services - SQL Server and SQL Agent.
I'll try to describe my situation. It happens very occasionally, but sometimes SQL Server service terminates unexpectedly. It's my log:
09/13/2013 10:46:21,Service Control Manager,Error,The SQL Server (MSSQLSERVER) service terminated unexpectedly. It has done this 1 time(s). The following corrective action will be taken in 120000 milliseconds: Restart the service.
09/13/2013 10:46:21,,Error,[359] The local host server is not running,,,,
09/13/2013 10:46:22,MSSQLSERVER,Error,The MSSQLSERVER service terminated unexpectedly.,Server,1073760843,,
09/13/2013 10:46:22,,Warning,[139] AutoRestart: Attempting to restart the MSSQLSERVER service (attempt #1)...,,,,
09/13/2013 10:46:27,,Warning,[139] AutoRestart: Attempting to restart the MSSQLSERVER service (attempt #2)...,,,,
09/13/2013 10:46:32,,Warning,[139] AutoRestart: Attempting to restart the MSSQLSERVER service (attempt #3)...,,,,
09/13/2013 10:46:32,,Error,[140] AutoRestart: The MSSQLSERVER service could not be restarted after 3 attempts,,,,
09/13/2013 10:46:32,,Warning,[360] SQLServerAgent initiating shutdown following MSSQLSERVER shutdown,,,,
As you can see, SQL Server service terminates unexpectedly. Then SQL Agent service tries to start SQL Server service. After unsuccessfully attempts to start SQL Server service, SQL Agent service stops itself. I have the option setting in SQL Server
service to start itself after unexpectedly stop within 2 minutes and it is works well. But I have to start my SQL Agent service after this manually. Unfortunately, I can't investigate the reason of my SQL Server stops unexpectedly and in this case I just want
to make the settings to start both of my services SQL Server and SQL Agent automatically after this. How can I set up this? How can I make my SQL Agent service starts after SQL Server service?

Hello,
SQL server agent service depends on SQL server service so unless SQL server service comes online agent will not come online so agent is depended on SQL server not the other wise.
Now is your server 2008 R2 patched to latest service pack (SP2).If not please upgrade it to latest SP.Some fixes are there in Sp which will subside this issue.Can you paste output of
select @@version
>>Then SQL Agent service tries to start SQL Server service.No this is not the case
>>Unfortunately, I can't investigate the reason of my SQL Server stops unexpectedly
Did you checked sql server errorlog and windows event log completely.Please do so and paste if you find some more info

Howto take SQL Server 2005 Cluster AND Cluster Group Offline

I need to update firmware on the backend storage used by our Active/Passive SQL Server 2005 Cluster. The first step in the process states that all I/O to the disks should be stopped. Per that, I need to take the the SQL Server cluster offline AND the cluster group; however, I then need to use one of the servers that participates in the cluster to perform the upgrade on the storage array. Using the process (which doesn't account for having to use one of clustered servers to perform updates) outlined at http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=1550288&SiteID=1 as a basis, below is my best guess regarding what I will need to do:
Shutdown:
1. Backup all of your databases prior to the outage and ensure they are in a safe place (NOT on the disk drives in the cluster)
2. Take the SQL Server group OFFLINE. This will cleanly shutdown the SQL Server and it will remain offline when you power the machine back on.
3. Once SQL Server is offline, power off the node which does NOT have the cluster resource currently running on it
4. Save the node which is running the cluster group for last - make a note of this machine as it will be the first one you power back on. MY ADDITION: Before powering it down, set the cluster service to manual so that when you restart the server to perform the storage array maintenance, the cluster will not be running - and likewise not generating I/O against the disk array.
MY ADDITION: 5. Restart the server from step 4. Takes the cluster offline "cleanly" and brings the server back on line so that the storage array maintenance can be performed.
6. Update the firmware on the storage array. After that is complete, set the cluster service back to "Automatic".
Start up:
1. Restart the server. Per the previous steps, the server to be restarted will be the server that last hosted the cluster group and the one used to update the firmware on the storage array.
2. RDP into the node, open cluster administrator, and verify that the cluster came back online successfully and everything looks clean
3. Power on the second node.
4. Failover the cluster group across each node in the cluster and validate that everything looks OK
5. Bring your SQL Server groups back online
6. Validate that everything is operational
Is there a better way to do this or official documentation for the process?
Thanks.

FYI: I did use the process outlined above to briing the cluster offline, perform updates, and bring it back online. It worked as I had hoped. As a test, I had also done the same on a test [non-SQL] cluster prior to making the updates to our SQL cluster. Is it the best way to do it? Who knows. Did it work? Yes.

SQL Server 2012 installation and to default user database files to a particular path

Hi, I am working on SQL Server 2012 installation on one of our test boxes and I would like to configure the sql server install binaries and all the system databases but for tempdb to be in my C and tempdb on a different drive and once all this is set up,
whenever a developer creates a new database without specifying the path for the mdf & ldf files. They should be defaulted to a path like "D:/Data file" & "D:/Log file" for instance instead of being created on the C drive.
Thanks in advance.........
Ione

Hi,
You can of course set default location of database through management Studio please refer below link. Once you change default location even if you do not specify location it would take default one.
http://sqlandme.com/2013/03/18/sql-server-changing-default-database-location-for-server/
I would advise you not to keep files on C drive let it be dedicated system drive also its quite possible that SQL server service account would not have privilege on C drive so after you move tempdb SQL server would not come online as tempdb files cannot
be created . Tempdb is always recreated after SQL Server starts so you just need to change location once using Alter database command
See example mentioned in below link for how to do that

How to ask a good question
Make sure to give all the pertinent information that people will need to answer your question. Questions like “I got an IO error, any ideas?” or “What’s the best technology for me to use?” will likely go unanswered, or at best just result in a request for more information. Here are some ideas of what to include:
For the “I got an IO error, any ideas?” scenario:
The exact error message. (The SQL Errorlog and Windows Event Logs can be a rich source of information. See the section on error logs below.)
What were you doing when you got the error message?
When did this start happening?
Any troubleshooting you’ve already done. (e.g. “I’ve already checked all the firmware and it’s up-to-date” or "I've run SQLIOStress and everything looks OK" or "I ran DBCC CHECKDB and the output is <blah>")
Any unusual occurrences before the error occurred (e.g. someone tripped the power switch, a disk in a RAID5 array died)
If relevant, the output from ‘DBCC CHECKDB (yourdbname) WITH ALL_ERRORMSGS, NO_INFOMSGS’
The SQL Server version and service pack level
For the “What’s the best technology for me to use?” scenario:
What exactly are you trying to do? Enable local hardware redundancy? Geo-clustering? Instance-level failover? Minimize downtime during recovery from IO errors with a single-system?
What are the SLAs (Service Level Agreements) you must meet? (e.g. an uptime percentage requirement, a minimum data-loss in the event of a disaster requirement, a maximum downtime in the event of a disaster requirement)
What hardware restrictions do you have? (e.g. “I’m limited to a single system” or “I have several worldwide mirror sites but the size of the pipe between them is limited to X Mbps”)
What kind of workload does you application have? (or is it a mixture of applications consolidated on a single server, each with different SLAs) How much transaction log volume is generated?
What kind of regular maintenance does your workload demand that you perform (e.g. “the update pattern of my main table is such that fragmentation increases in the clustered index, slowing down the most common queries so there’s a need to perform some fragmentation removal regularly”)
Finding the Logs
You will often find more information about an error by looking in the Error and Event logs. There are two sets of logs that are interesting:
SQL Error Log: default location: C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.#\MSSQL\LOG (Note: The # changes depending on the ID number for the installed Instance. This is 1 for the first installation of SQL Server, but if you have mulitple instances, you will need to determine the ID number you’re working with. See the BOL for more information about Instance ID numbers.)
Windows Event Log: Go to the Event Viewer in the Administrative Tools section of the Start Menu. The System event log will show details of IO subsystem problems. The Application event log will show details of SQL Server problems.

hi,I have a question on sql database high availability. I have tried using database mirroring, where I am using sql standard edition, in this database mirroring of synchronous mode is the only option available, and it is giving problem, like sql time out errors on my applicatons since i had put in the database mirroring, as asynchronous is only available on enterprise version, is there any suggestions on this. thanks ---vijay

Intellisense is working in the server but the same is not working when we are trying to access with client from our local machines.
Please provide me help to fix this issue

Query used by SQL Server Management Pack for monitoring database backups

I use SCOM 2012 R2 and the SQL Server Management Pack to monitor SQL Server database backups. I believe I am getting false positives. SCOM reports database are not backuped, while in fact they are. So I need to troubleshoot this. I suspect SCOM is querying
the backup history in the msdb database. I want to know which query SCOM uses.
I have tried looking in the monitor's definition but I suspect the query is embedded in the management pack files which are binary. I have also tried running a trace using the SQL Server Profiler on my test environment and overriding the interval to 60 seconds,
but I don't see a relevant query being executed. I also don't see the alert reappear so I suspect SCOM does not honor the interval in a way I would expect.
What query, or other method, does SCOM use to check database backups?
Thanks in advance.

Thank you both Ivan and Michael,
I only saw your messages by email and didn't see your screen shot before I extracted the query myself. In my own queries I calculate the backup age in hours instead of days because of daily full backups. Perhaps It will be a good idea to create my own monitors
from scratch like I used to do with Nagios.
I will study the vbscripts and might create my own version which allows the query to be entered as an parameter and move all code to a .Net class which can be called from vbscript as an COM object. This way I hope to reduce the vbscript code to an minimum
while keeping the flexibility of the SCOM Operations Console and the robustness of .Net. I suspect I want to make more non standard monitors in the future.
Regards,
Arjen

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.

SQL Server Agent Job And Database Mail - Error formatting query, probably invalid paramters

We have a stored procedure that we are trying to call with a SQL Server Agent Job. The stored procedure calls Database Mail. This is SQL 2008. The execute task is simply:
USE [Production]
GO
EXEC [dbo].[JOB_EMAIL_SCHEDULED_REPORTS]
GO
When the job runs, it is erroring out immediately, with the error:
Execute as user: NT AUTHORITY\NETWORK SERVICE. Error formatting query, probably invalid paramters [SQLSTATE 42000] (Error 22050). The step failed.
When we go into SQL Server Manager and just execute the SQL query, it works though. Something within the SQL Server Agent job, and Database Mail is causing problems. Any ideas? Thanks.

Justin,
If you use SSMS then the procedure is executed under a different user when compared to running using a SQL Server Agent Job.
Isolate the problem by running a SQL Server agent job that sends a mail. Also check if the NT Authority\Network Service account is
in good standing. Look at the below thread with a similar problem that had an expired account.
