WSUS 4.0, SQL server, and SCCM 2012 version help

I am trying to get to the bottom of a version question.
We currently have SCCM 2012 R2 up and running, with a DB on a separate server version MSQL 2008 R2. Now we also are using the WSUS integration. I am being told WSUS 4.0 cannot be ran on SQL server 2008 R2, so they could only install and use WSUS version
3.0.
Can anyone out there please shed some light on my version items from above?
Thank you

I am being told WSUS 4.0 cannot be ran on SQL server 2008 R2, so they could only install and use WSUS version 3.0.
(Pedantically speaking this is true because there is no such beast as "WSUS 4".)
However, WSUS v6.2 (Windows Server 2012) and WSUS v6.3 (Windows Server 2012 R2) can most certainly be installed on SQL Server 2008 R2, and the official documentation is at
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh852344.aspx
However, the *preferred* installation methodology, unless you've expressly chosen to use a remote SQL Server, is to use the Windows Internal Database feature which is built into Windows Server 2012 and 2012 R2.

  • SQL Server for SCCM 2012 R2

    Hello,
              I'm very new to SQL concepts, I have recently installed a backend database for SCCM application with below configuration.
    Installed the SQL on VM with 10GB RAM, 50GB(OS Partition), 400GB (SCCM DATA & SQL DATA) and 50GB (SQL Logs)
    OS: WIn Server 2012 R2
    SQL : SQL Server 2012 SP1 Std
    Question: I want to know,how to configure the following things,
    01. Limit memory utilization of SQL (Min & Max)
    02. limit the maximum size of the log files
    03. Limit Disk utilization for SQL etc...

    Hi Julie,
        My friend Jorge Segarra has a blog about min and max memory that I'd recommend you look at.  http://www.sqlchicken.com/2012/02/setting-memory-limits/  
    the best answer is "it depends", you want to define an amount other than the default.  by default SQL Server installs with 2 TB of memory enabled regardless of what is on the source system.
    With SCCM and 500 GB data files, you will probably find you have memory pressure with only 10 GB.  I would leave a minimum of 1 GB per for every 4 dedicated to the OS, up to 4 GB for the OS.  So in your case,
    8 GB for SQL 2 GB for the OS.  If you can add more for the VM that would be a good idea.  Typically you would want 3 x your largest returned dataset in a query.  When you do a checkdb or index rebuilds your memory with get thrashed.
    Log files, make sure your database is in simple recovery model.  Understand the type of backups you need to maintain transnational consistency.  Grow them at a minimum of 4 GB increments.  Transaction logs
    are made up of VLF's and VLF fragmenation will cause slower writes on write heavy systems like SCCM.  Here's a great blog for more on VLF's http://blogs.msdn.com/b/blogdoezequiel/
    Disk limitation should be based on size.  I like 100 GB of free space or 20%, whichever comes first.  This will be determined by the amount of history you want to maintain though.

  • Installing SQL server for SCCM 2012 local vs on its own server (primary site enviorment only)

    Hello,
    When building a primary stand alone site server does Microsoft consider it best practice to install sql locally or on its own server. Is there an official statement from Microsoft suggesting this?
    Thanks ins advance
    Phil
    Phil Balderos

    There is no official statement either way from Microsoft as both configurations are fully supported.  Generally speaking, it is easier to collocate SQL on the same system as the Primary Site so long as the server meets the hardware recommendations. 
    Among the trade-offs are reduced network traffic vs avoiding a single point of failure for the site itself.  Since the CM site license also includes the license for SQL, licensing is not really an issue.

  • How to Perform Forced Manual Failover of Availability Group (SQL Server) and WSFC (Windows Server Failover Cluster)

    I have a scenario with the three nodes with server 2012 standard, each running an instance of SQL Server 2012 enterprise, participate in a
    single Windows Server Failover Cluster (WSFC) that spans two data centers.
    If the nodes in the primary data center are unavailable due to data center outage. Then how I can able to access node in the WSFC (Windows Server Failover Cluster) in the secondary disaster recovery data center automatically with some script.
    I want to write script that can be able to check primary data center by pinging some IP after every 5 or 10 minutes.
    If that IP is unable to respond then script can be able to Perform Forced Manual Failover of Availability Group (SQL Server) and WSFC (Windows Server Failover Cluster)
    Can you please guide me for script writing for automatic failover in case of primary datacenter outage?

    please post you question on failover clusters in the cluster forum.  THey will explain how this works and point you at scipts.
    You should also look in the Gallery for cluster management scripts.

    You are trying to implement manually what should be happening automatically in the cluster. If the primary SQL Server becomes unavailable in the data center, it should fail over to the secondary SQL Server automatically.  Is that not working?
    You also might want to run this configuration by some SQL experts.  I am not a SQL expert, but if you have both hosts in the data center in a cluster, there is no need for replication between those two nodes as they would be accessing
    the database from some form of shared storage.  Then it looks like you are trying to implement Always On to the DR site.  I'm not sure you can mix both types of failover in a single configuration.
    FYI, it would make more sense to establish a file share witness in your DR site instead of placing a third node in the data center for Node Majority quorum.

  • Running SSIS 2005 in SQL Server Job Agent 2012

    Hi Guys,
    I'm trying to create a job in SQL 2012 that calls an SSIS 2005 package, however i'm getting some issue.  I researched the issue a bit and got this link . The given link suggested to use dtexec as SQL 2012 try to convert it in the memory.
    I used the dtexec  but I'm still getting an issue.

    It seems that I do need to upgrade my packages to run in SQL 2012 unless if there's another way without upgrading it that would be great.
    I just want to get the confirmation if possible or not
    Many thanks guys.

    Hi Vaibhav,
    I created 2 jobs. the first job calls a simple package that execute a single SQL. It ran
    successfully when I execute the said job using this command 
    DTEXEC /FILE "\"C:\TFS\WDSHE SSIS Packages from DTS\GFK_Test_package.dtsx\"" /DECRYPT stud10 /CHECKPOINTING OFF /REPORTING E
    2nd Job, calls a complex package which contains several execute process tasks. this job fails with the error mentioned at the top.
    Now, I modified the simple package in the first job and add an Execute Process Task.
    I'm started to get an issue

  • Anyone else having issues writting string "memo" fields to Access 2007-2010 or SQL Server Express 2008-2012?

    I have a data cluster that I am working to write to either Access 2007 thru 2010 and/or SQL Server Express 2008 thru 2012 all on a Windows 7 64 bit OS. Some of the elements are long strings that I put delimited data for the raw trace data. The fields can be 10's of KB long. With Access I cannot stuff any string >255char into the memo field. With SQL Server Express 2008R2 - 2012 I found that if the strings are >32767 they again fail to fill the memo fields. The Access write or reads work fine otherwise, just not the listed offending fields in the cases mentioned.  Anyone else having the issue or a solution?

    If the long string field has repetitive data, you might be able to compress it using GZIP to reduce it's size below the 32K limitation you mentioned.

  • USMT to User State Server (PXE) sccm 2012 r2

    I apologize if this has been asked before, but I have spent quite a bit of time searching and not really finding any good material or if it was even possible.  Our information security officer wants us to scrub all of our assets during the reimage
    process.  This eliminates the possibility of doing hardlink USMT through PXE.  We start all of our images from PXE and don't make the reimage task sequences available through the operating system
    My question is there a way to back up to the USMT server from PXE?  We are currently running on 2008 R2 and SCCM 2012 R2.
    Thanks for any help you can provide!

    HI,
    I need to give a presentation on the basic issues that are encountered in SCOM 2012 and SCCm 2012.
    Can anyone help me out with this?
    Thanks in advance
    Rohith Kumar

    Hi,
    I am not familiar with SCCM, so I will give some issue I encounterred in SCOM:
    1. Not monitored and grey agent, here is an article for your reference:
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh212723.aspx
    2. Failed to discover and install agents, this may caused by the action account or install account does not have proper permissions to install the agents. Some time maybe the discovery rule is not enabled.
    3. Failed to import Management Pack, this may caused by references MPs are not imported to the management group, or sometime the proper referenced MPs are imported, but there may be incorrect typing in the XML file which defines the management pack.
    4. Runas account and Action account fail. If you change password for action account, you may also need to change the password everywhere the account is used in SCOM. For run as account, if the account does not have enough right to run some tasks, we may
    encounter errors. You may refer to the below link which take SQL mp for example:

  • SQL Server and TFS integration: can't see TFS SQL Server project

    Hi:
    From SQL Server Management Studio 2012 FILE-> OPEN FROM SOURCE CONTROL -> SQL Server doesn't recognize the SQL Server Project in TFS I specify; I have carefully checked that the project files are in the path specified. I have placed the solution/project
    additionally into the VS Studio 2012 path -> whatever path I point to, SQL Server is unable to open the project and I cannot get to the checked in SQL source. Thank you for your help :)

    The problem is that SSMS doesn't see existing SQL server projects that are checked into TFS by others; I cannot get my SSMS instance to connect to TFS and see the existing projects and check them out. The tutorial is no help.
    Hi,
    According to your description, you could not add the project or solution to source control in SQL Server Management Studio 2012. I recommend you if you install and configure the Team Foundation Server MSSCCI Provider successfully. And check if you can launch
    the client (File >> Source Control >> Launch Team Foundation server MSSCCI Provider). If yes, I recommend you install
     the latest Cumulative Update of SQL Server 2012 , which can be downloaded from Microsoft website.
    In addition, if the error still exists, I recommend you post more details about error log for analysis. When you connect to TFS server, we need to verify if you supply the right information and sign-in credentials for your Team Foundation Server .
