Where is Best Practices Analyzer for SQL Server 2014?

Hi! Does anyone have a news about new version of BPA for SQL Server?

Hi,
The latest version of Best Practices Analyzer for SQL Server is SQL Server 2012 Best Practices Analyzer.
You can download it from

  • Best Practice Analyzer for Exchange 2013

    Greetings,
    I have upgraded the messaging infrastructure from Exchange 2007 to Exchange 2013.
    I want to test the Health of the system through ExBPA for Exchange 2013.
    But i don't find any setup for Exchange 2013 like it was in 2010.
    I went through an article by Office365 community, according to which for In-premises Exchange also we need to have office 365 account (can use trial account also) to get the downloader file for ExBPA 2013.
    http://community.office365.com/en-us/w/deploy/office-365-best-practices-analyzer-for-exchange-server-2013.aspx
    But to run the setup the servers needs to be connected to internet.
    And, i don't want to expose my environment to internet in any condition.
    Somebody, please suggest me if there is any setup available so that i can install directly without exposing to internet.
    Thanks in advance.
    Best Regards,
    K2

    Welcome to Exchange 2013.
    Exchange Server 2013 doesn't come with ExBPA for health check. This might help
    http://exchangeserverpro.com/powershell-script-health-check-report-exchange-2010/
    Apart from that you can run these commands too
    Get-ServerHealth -Identity Exchange2013ServerName
    Test-ServiceHealth

    thanks in advance.

    Hi SQLDBA321,
    The SSDT-BI is automatically installed under xxx:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\. Now matter in GUI or command line, we can't change the path. Because SSDT is a feature of SQL Server, not a feature of Visual Studio. It just use the Visual
    Studio Shell. So SSDT will only be installed with SQL Server.

  • Best practice configuration for SQL 2014 to achieve HA when hosted on Hyper-V 2012R2 cluster

    Hi,
    I've had a hunt around but so far I've not found a conclusive answer to my question.  I am currently moving from a SQL 2008R2 (physical tin) failover cluster to a virtual environment build on Hyper-V 2012R2.  I am building everything with SQL 2014
    SP1.
    I want to achieve the same level of high availability that I currently have and at the same time make sure that I can replicate (DR) data offsite (Azure) in the future.  I have two options with SQL which are clustered instance (basically the same as
    I have now) or AlwaysOn Availability Groups for database level HA. 
    I am unsure which is the best method to use when the SQL nodes are highly available guests on Hyper-V, trying to imagine how the guests will all move around in the case of a host server failure is a bit mind boggling to say the least.
    I am leaning towards a instance failover but I would appreciate any input/advice etc.
    Thanks
    Rob

    Hi Rob, 
    To start with I will not be installing SQL Server 2014 with SP1, as SP1 has bugs and Microsoft has disabled its download. See reference: http://www.eweek.com/database/microsoft-halts-sql-server-2014-sp1-downloads.html
    With regards, I would go for AlwaysOn Availability Groups configuration, because it has several benefits:
    You will get same amount of high availability you normally get with native cluster configuration, if you use AlwaysOn configuration. However, AlwaysOn configuration provides more granular high availability, and fail-over are invisible to the application,
    if you using Availability Group listener to connect to server. 
    You can offload read-only workloads to secondary replica.
    You can perform transaction log backups on secondary replica.
    Reduce production downtime during patching or other planned work on the server.
    So in short, you should use AlwaysOn configuration.

  • Trying to install SSDT BI for SQL Server 2014 and VS2013

    Windows 8.1, SQL Server 2014.
    When running the installer, I get the error before the main window opens, but directly after the first dialog shows. The error message is "The
    type initializer for '<module>' threw an exception". I have opened debugview to see if there were any clues as to what is causing this, but it just states the exact same message. Any ideas?

    Hi MCClark69,
    According to your description, you get "The type initializer for '<module>' threw an exception" when installing SSDT-BI. Right?
    For this error, it's the issue of the conflict with the .Net versions . Please uninstall all the .NET Framework components and reinstall it. Please refer to links below:

  • Setup SSL for SQL Server 2014

    I'm trying to get SSL setup for SQL Server. I'm assuming version doesn't matter. It's all about the same but I'm using 2014.
    I have an Enterprise CA so I've setup certs through it.  I've tried using several templates but none seem to work.  I thought it might be needing to use a SAN cert but that doesn't seem to work either.
    I create the cert, add it to the computer account. 
    Go to the properties of "Protocols for MSSQLSERVER" and change the settings on the cert tab to my cert. 
    Attempting to restart SQL Server fails.  Once I clear the setting the service will start.
    What am I missing?

  • Attunity SSIS connector support for Sql Server 2014?

    Hello,
    We've been successfully using Attunity SSIS connector 2.0 for a couple of years with SQL SERVER 2012.
    We developed some Visual Studio projects and deployed them on our SSISDB. Then launch them with scheduled jobs. Everything worked fine.
    After we upgraded the server to Sql Server 2014 the connector failed with the following error:
    The connection type "MSORA" specified for connection manager "XXX" is not recognized as a valid connection manager type.
    This error is returned when an attempt is made to create a connection manager for an unknown connection type. Check the spelling in the connection type name.
    We tried uninstall/install but was no good. Also 32/64 bits combinations.
    We tried DTEXEC utility and worked fine on sqlserver 2012 folder ( \110\DTS\Binn) but didn't work on 2014's folder ( \120\DTS\Binn).
    We also tried a fresh 2014 installation but keep getting the same error.
    Does Attunity connector 2.0 support Sql Server 2014? If not, should I wait for a new version? Any workaround?
    For now, we are using the DTEXEC utility on 2012's folder, but since we have to use the /sql option (/ISSERVER is not working) we can't pass parameters to the .dtsx package.
    Any help would be much appreciated.
    Regards,
    Daniel

    I'm with Daniel - Microsoft should be taking the lead in resolving this. We downloaded the previous two versions from Microsoft Download (e.g. link below) with no indication that Microsoft would wash their hands of future support.
    http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=29283
    Attunity have replied on the thread on their forum - saying it is Microsoft's responsibility:
    http://www.attunity.com/forums/microsoft-ssis-oracle-connector/attunity-ssis-connector-support-sql-server-2963.html
    Trying to run, develop and support on parallel versions of SSIS is not a viable solution IMO.
    I will advise all my clients who use these connectors not to upgrade to SQL Server 2014 until this is resolved.

  • Support for SQL Server 2014 for CMS + Audit Repository?

    We are currently on BusinessObjects 4.1 SP01 Patch 6 on Windows Server 2008 using SQL Server 2008 R2 for our CMS and Audit repository databases.  Is there any information out in regard to when SQL Server 2014 will be supported for the CMS and Audit repositories?
    According to the Product Availability Matrix shown in the screenshot below SQL Server 2012 is supported, right?  One of our DBAs claims there isn't that much of a difference between SQL Server 2012 and 2014, but I am not willing to try it if it isn't officially supported.
