Windows Server 2008/SQL 2008 support?

Does the latest release of Business Object support MS Windows Server 2008 and SQL server 2008?  We are currently running BO 11.5R2 and would like to upgrade to the latest version.  Since we are also upgrading our servers to the latest 2008 versions of Windows Server and SQL server, it would be nice to know if we can install this to our new hardware.
Thanks,
Peter

XI 3.1 or later supports both. See the [supported platforms|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/boc/index?rid=/library/uuid/60cdb229-d874-2b10-18ac-ed2f46873753&overridelayout=true] for more info

    Please help As i am running out of time as i have to upgrade TFS for that first step is to install SQL server.

    Hello,
    The following are a few things you can try:
    Copy the media to the local disk drive, unzip it (in case you are installing from an ISO file, and run SQL Server setup from there.
    Try to unregister and register the Windows Installer with the following two commands:
    msiexec /unregister
    msiexec /regserver
    Try to use Process Monitor to log the detailed error produced when the installation of dw20sharedamd64.msi fails. You can download Process Monitor from the following link:
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896645
    Share with us the error captured by Process Monitor.
    Hope this helps.

  • Windows update KB2964444 broke Event Logging Service and SQL Agent Service on Windows Server 2008 R2

    I got the following problem:
    I discovered that on my Windows Server 2008R2 machine the event logging stopped working on 04/May/2014 at 03:15.
    Also, SQL Agent Service won't run
    The only change that day was security
    update KB2964444 - Security
    Update for Internet Explorer 11 for Windows Server 2008 R2for x64-based Systems, that was installed exactly 04/May/2014 at 03:00. Apparently, that's what broke my machine...
    When I try to start Windows Event Log via net
    start eventlog or via Services
    panel, I get an error:
    C:\Users\Administrator>net start eventlog
    The Windows Event Log service is starting.
    The Windows Event Log service could not be started.
    A system error has occurred.
    System error 2 has occurred.
    The system cannot find the file specified.
    I tried:
    restarted the OS (virtual on the host's VMWare).
    re-checked the settings in services menu -they are like in the link.
    checked the identity in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\eventlog -

    Hi,
    Check if SQL Server service is running fine. I doubt you may have changed the user account password used for SQL Server service. After restarting the machine, you also need to update the user account of SQL Server service in Configuration
    Manager. Re-type the user account name and password under Log on tab and see how it helps.
    Thanks.

  • Install Active Directory Domain Controller on Windows server 2008 enterprise, dont login on Sql Server 2008 R2

    I install Active Directory Domain Controller on Windows server 2008 enterprise and dont login on Sql Server 2008 R2. Before install ADDC, I have logon SQL Server 2008r2 Success, After when i install ADDC is don't logon on SQL Server 2008r2 -->not success.
    I have uninstalled ADDC but i still can't login on SQL server 2008r2.
    please help me. it  is very very disaster!
    I think is loss account SQL server 2008r2!

    Hello,
    I stronly recommend you post the detail error message to us while you try to connect to SQL Server instance, it's useful for us to do further investigation.
    Microsoft recommends that you do not install SQL Server 2008 R2 on a domain controller, there are some limitations:
    You cannot run SQL Server services on a domain controller under a local service account or a network service account.
    After SQL Server is installed on a computer, you cannot change the computer from a domain member to a domain controller. You must uninstall SQL Server before you change the host computer to a domain controller.
    After SQL Server is installed on a computer, you cannot change the computer from a domain controller to a domain member. You must uninstall SQL Server before you change the host computer to a domain member.
    SQL Server failover cluster instances are not supported where cluster nodes are domain controllers.
    SQL Server Setup cannot create security groups or provision SQL Server service accounts on a read-only domain controller. In this scenario, Setup will fail.
    On Windows Server 2003, SQL Server services can run under a domain account or a local system account.
    So, I would suggest you try to open up Windows Services list and changed the account for SQL Server service.

  • How to enable high availability on SQL Server 2005 with Windows Server 2008 Enterprise R2

    Dear Folks,
    I would like to ask you about this thing. I'm working for IT department for bank in Myanmar. Our bank have up to 96 branches across all of Myanmar including H.O. We are using Microsoft SQL Server 2005 with Windows Server 2008 for our banking
    information system. My main problem is having to backup and restore the database backup files every time the servers in branches goes down for whatever reasons. I want to deploy this feature of high availability and failover cluster using Windows Server 2008
    and SQL Server 2005. Our branches have 2 Servers. One is for Primary and other is for Backup. What I want to do is that, I want to change Backup Server to Primary Server whenever the Primary Server goes down for whatever reasons. All the working data and databases
    from Primary will immediately replicated into Backup Server along with all the IP information of Primary Server. Please give me step by step guide for this process.

    Try below
    http://blogs.msdn.com/b/cindygross/archive/2009/10/23/checklist-for-installing-sql-server-2005-as-a-clustered-instance.aspx

  • IDM 7.2 under Windows Server 2008 R2 (SQL Server ): Which NTW ? Which JVM ?

    Hello,
    We are installing IDM 7.2 under Windows Server 2008 R2 using the database SQL Server 2008 R2.
    1/ Which NetWeaver should we use to install the Java Application Server (NTW 7.3 or NTW 7.2)?
    Using install guides 7.2rev8, we tried NTW 7.3 but it comes with JVM 1.6 that isn't supported, according to the PAM.
    Should we install the AS Java with NTW 7.2 that comes with JVM 1.5 (JVM 1.5 being supported)?
    2/ Has someone installed IDM 7.2 under Windows Server 2008 R2 (SQL Server)?
    If yes, which NTW was used (7.2 or 7.3)? Which JVM was used (1.5 or 1.6)? Which JDBC drivers (1.2 or 3)?

  • ECC 6/MS Windows Server 2008/SQL Server 2008 Upgrade

    I am working with a client who wishes to do an ECC upgrade from ECC 5 to ECC 6.  They also wish to upgrade the Op System from Windows Server 2003 to Windows Server 2008; and the database from MS SQL 2005 to MS SQL 2008.
    My proposal is to Upgrade ECC, then the Op System then the DB in each environment before moving forward.  We would do the first upgrade in Sandbox to determine timing, issues, etc.  We would create a production support path to be used during the project, then start the upgrades Dev-QA-Prod.
    The client has said that this is a risky approach and that SAP recommends a 2 step process, that is, upgrade ECC 6 thru all environments and then go back and do the Op Sys and Db upgrades afterward.
    In my mind my approach is less risky as we will ensure each environment is clean and functioning smoothly before moving forward; there is less intrusion to the end user; testing is only accomplished once in each environment.  The actual production build would be split over 2 weekends, app upgrade first then op sys and db.
    The assistance I need to understand isu2026.does SAP have a recommendation in this case?  I have not seen anything that says not to do the single step process I am recommending.
    Thanks for any support you can provide.

    Hi,
    If SAP is recomending that is because They recomends not to "mix" upgrades with any other process like Heterogeneous system copies, DB upgrades, etc. In fact this is in the upgrade guides. But I think like some others here has already writen, that you could upgrade and change OS and SQL server in two different steps but in the same process so the downtime will be longer but it will be only one.
    Of course this will depend on how long your upgrade downtime will take because usually the upgrade could take 7 hours more or less, post upgrade tasks, export task (R3load), change OS and SQL server if not using different HW, import task and post copy tasks.
    What is the maximun downtime your client is ready to tolerate? If you have a whole weekend beginning from friday afternoon and ending Monday morning probably you will have enough time to do all in one weekend but again, it will depend on your tests. Why don´t you talk to your client and tell them if they have new HW already for this project to do a Prod copy in one of those servers as part of the whole project and take the times you will need. Then with that in perspective you could decide what approach is better.
    With some upgrades done under my belt to different clients I don´t assure anything until I do a test upgrade including all changes (os or DB) necesary to finish time schedules, then with that in mind then we can redefine the way we will use and we make that clear before the beginning of the project. I always tell them that it is better to do a test like this if they don´t have much available downtime, the project will take longer but for sure the Production downtime will be shorter.

  • RH Server 9 compatibility with Windows Server 2008 SP2/SQL Server

    Our tech support people are preparing for a first install of RH Server 9. They have asked me to find out whether there is a recent patch that would enable it to work with Windows Server 2008 SP2 64 bit and MS SQL Server 2008.
    If there is not yet a patch, will there be one for this OS/DB combination in the future, and when?
    This is in reference to the knowledgebase article at http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/884/cpsid_88483.html which gives a "not recommended" status to this combination.
    Our infrastructure team would prefer to use this combination if it is possible.
    Second question from the tech team: Do we need to separate the RoboHelp application from the database or can they both reside on the same server?

    To answer your first question, no there is no patch to allow SQL Server 2008 to run on a 64 bit server. To answer your second question, I don't know. This is a user to user forum and therefore we are not party to any discussions on when or if a patch will be released. You could sumbit a feature request which the Adobe RoboHelp Product Manager will get. This will help advance your case. You can submit it here:

  • How uninstall WSUS server role from Windows Server 2008 R2 with database hosted on remote SQL server?

    Hello, 
    I'm looking to uninstall the WSUS server role 3.0 from Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1. The thing is the database is hosted on a remote MS SQL server. I want to remove the database as well. I would like help for figuring out what I need to do to completely remove
    WSUS and its database.
    Any kind of help is appreciated! Thanks  

    Hi,
    WSUS offers limited support for running database software on a computer that is separate from the computer where the rest of WSUS is installed. This section offers step-by-step
    instructions for how to install WSUS in this configuration.
    If you meet the uninstall issue with the normal uninstall, please post the detail information for us but if you just want to manage the WSUS related SQL data, you can refer
    the following KB then delete corresponding database.
    In the general procedure, you will create the related WSUS database as below::
    Run WSUS Setup from the command line, using the SQLINSTANCE_NAME=servername\instancename command-line option, where servername is the name of the remote computer, and instancename
    is the name of the SQL Server instance that you will use for WSUS.
    More information:

    Hope this helps.

  • Cannot install SQL Server Native Client 2012 on Windows Server 2008 Data Center

    Is it possible to install SQL Server Native Client 11.0 (SQL Server 2012) on Windows Server 2008 Datacenter?
    I tried to install it, but I get this error message:
    "Installation of this product failed because it is not supported on this operating system. For information on supported configurations, see the product documentation."
    Based on this article (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc280356.aspx), I see one of the supported operating system is Windows Server 2008.

    Hello,
    Can you try to download and install Windows Server 2008 Service Pack 2 from the following link, and then reinstall the SQL Server Native Client 11.0 again?
    http://www.microsoft.com/en-in/download/details.aspx?id=16468
    Microsoft SQL Server 2012  Native Client is included in the SQL Server 2012 Feature Pack. Based on the requirement of
    the download page , you should apply SP2 for Windows Server 2008.

  • Windows Server 2008, IIS7, SQL Server 2005 - Will this work?

    Hi,
    Not super concerned about it being supported at this point, BUT, can I run/install CR XI SP2 on Windows Server 2008, IIS7, SQL Server 2005?
    I've reference the System Requirement stuff and it was written before Server 2008 was released.
    If it's possible, any help on what to install/not install would be great appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Mike

    Try it. If it works great. As you are using ASP, your app must be using craxdrt.dll. This dll has been retired and no longer ships with CR 2008, so even when the next SP for CR 2008 releases, it will be of no use to you. If the ASP app does not work on the server, you may want to post your query to the Legacy Application Development SDKs forum:
    SAP Crystal Reports - Legacy SDKs
    and see if anyone can help.
    Other than that, the only option will be to go to .NET once SP 1 releases for CR 2008, or use CR 10.5 which bundles with .NET 2008.

  • What Drivers should I use to access SQL Server 2005 SP2 from Windows Server 2008 64 bit

    and yes I do know that is an odd scenario so let me explain
    I have just joined a project that is "in flight" where the customer is upgrading a LOT of things at the same time
    (some Microsoft, some other supplier: some at the OS level, others at server or services levels)
    the current step is replacing some services leaving the back end databases as they are
    i.e. SQL Server 2005 SP2
    a later step will upgrade the backend data bases which may make more work
    What we have now runs on Windows Server 2003 32 bit using the OLEDB drivers
    version 2000.86.3959.00
    What we want must run on Windows Server 2008 64 bit still using the OLEDB option
    which version should I download & try to install?

    Here are a known list of issues with this configuration with their corresponding workarounds: https://support.microsoft.com/kb/936302/en-us
