I want to install sql 2012 in a non-cluster windows servers, then set up Always-on between these 2 servers. Every article mentions Windows Clustering, and we dont have clustering for now.
Can I set up Always On, in a NON_CLUSTER environment?
Also where I can find instructions step-by-step installations of SQL Server 2012 and most importantly ALWAYS-ON.
I have configured two node cluster environment on vmware with windows 2008 r2 os.I want to configure sql clustering over it.but prior to that I ran failover clustering manager on node V1 to create two node cluster(node v1,node v2 and third node as a domain controller with shared storage using iscsi target).After I successfully created cluster with name SqlClus1 I shut down all my vmware.Now when I start them all and see clustering status I get error RPC server not found and Cluster server can not be connected.On my cluster manager page I see cluster events marked as critical for both nodes.and cluster staus down.
I have a windows 2012 cluster environment that consists of two SQL servers nodes with Quorum disk configured as witness.
Manual failover between nodes is working fine, however the sql instance virtual is not seeing the Quorum disk.
Moreover the Quorum disk has the same number as another cluster storage disk, is that considered a problem?
When I move the SQL instance from a node to anohter, should the Quorum Disk change ownership as well to that destination node ? if it is not changing ownership what would be the problem??
Does anyone have any information or know where I can get information about setting up SQL2000 and Windows2000 clustering? We want to set up 3 SQL 2000 servers on Windows2000 clustering. We cannot find any technical documentation about the 2 together. If you know of any books or sites please let me know.
is SQL Clustering possible with Windows 2003 Standard Edition? I have read, we need Enterprise Edition but it is too expensive. is there any alternate solution?
We are planning to setup SQL Express on a windows os clustered environment and trying to shoot for a active-passive configuration. We know that SQL server 2005 has this ability and will be leveraging that for mission critial production applications, however there are several other apps that we intend to use internally and would like to leverage windows clustering. Has anyone done this?
- Should we share the INSTALLSQLDATADIR? If yes, then how to specify the SQL Express installtion on cluster node#2 that, "hey..utilized this dir as the data dir".
- Or Should we not worry about it, and only the databases that we create for our apps be on the quorum/clustered resource drive?
I am practicing on vmware 2 node failover cluster for doing Sql failover clustering understanding.I did proper Ad Dc setup and configured san storage through iscsi software that I downloaded from net.I did target and initiator configuration for san storage on same Domain controller vm.Name of target is Target1 and has two initialtor for node1 and node2.It has two virtual disk assigned Quorumdisk.vhd and sqldisk.vhd.ON vmnode1 I have initialzed and formatted my both disk with proper volume and label.
Node which are participating in cluster are node1 and node2.while my windows clustering went fine,while Sql server installation on node 1,i got error IP Address conflict occured.
my DC has IP address:192.168.1.10 my Node1 is 192.168.1.20 node2:192.168.1.30 Cluster IP address is 192.168.1.35
What has cause this situation.What configuration is needed.How do I troubleshoot this problem as now I can not install my sql for clustering as also gave me Invalid network name error.Is my storage configuration not proper or IP address is in correct?Do I need to put my virtual disk in Clustered shared volume?
SQL Server 2012 Data Tools was working fine for me but something must've changed, now every time I try to create a new SSIS project I get:
The server threw an exception. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80010105 (RPC_E_SERVERFAULT)).
When I try to open an existing project I get:
exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation
external component has thrown an exception (SSISUpgrade)
The issue seems to only arise with SSIS projects.I have already uninstalled SQL Server 2012 and reinstalled it and that didn't work.I tried to install Visual Studio 2012 Data Tools with BI and that also crashes when I try to create an SSIS project.Output of SQL Server SELECT @@VERSION is:

We have 2 env. : Testing and Production, both are running Windows 2003 Enterprise Server with SQL Server 2005. The difference is Testing is NOT running Windows cluster but Production do so, what is the best way to transfer a database from testing to production?
We have another systems that both testing and production are running on NON-cluster and we use backup/restore to transfer the database, can it apply in this case.
And I found that there are a tools called DTC, which can transfer all DB objects from one DB to another, is it a best way to transfer between non-cluster and cluster env.?
I was able to do windows cluster successfully on vmware but after destroying it and I wanted to rebuild cluster on same nodes with same vmnode as DC.But Clustering kept failing.... and I had to rebuild entire vmnodes ,ISCSI SAN and Clustering from scratch...
How do I get over this problem.I want to manage cluster so it remains stable after failover or even after shut down of VMnodes????
I am setting up security for access of database tables for members in a specific Windows User Group.I want to check in a SQL script if this Windows User group is added and if so, add database users and grant SELECT on specific tables.
I have tried this:
SELECT * FROM master.sys.syslogins WHERE name like '%FoeUsers' AND isntgroup = '1'
but that selects a SQL user or group and not a Windows Group.Is there a way to check if a Windows NT (active Directory) user group exists?
I am currently reviewing what patch levels various instances are at. One that have come across is a Windows Internal Database (WID), version 11.0.2100.0 (SQL Server 2012 RTM), which is being used for WSUS.
I was thinking about bringing this up to SP 2. I had thought that WID was patched as part of the operating system, not with the SQL Server Service Pack installer. But I have been Googling it, and I cannot find any references to say one way or the other how it is serviced. Does WID is upgraded using the standard Service Pack? Or is there some WSUS magic?
We have set up SQL server 2012 alwaysOn availability group on windows 2012. It runs and fails over successfully. Recently, a VMWare creates a snapshort of a primary and it breaks a cluster. We saw errors in a cluster log.
In VMware setting, The quiesce option is turned off for these VMs. Also, we configured cluster setting :Windowssystem32> (get-cluster).SamesubnetThreshold = 10 ( Relaxed )
Cluster node 'Test1' was removed from the active failover cluster membership. The Cluster service on this node may have stopped. This could also be due to the node having lost communication with other active nodes in the failover cluster. Run the Validate a Configuration wizard to check your network configuration. If the condition persists, check for hardware or software errors related to the network adapters on this node. Also check for failures in any other network components to which the node is connected such as hubs, switches, or
File share witness resource 'File Share Witness' failed to arbitrate for the file share 'TestTEstQuorum'. ensure that file share 'TestTestQuorum' exists and is accessible by the cluster.In alwaysOn error log, A connection timeout has occurred on a previously established connection to availability replica 'Test1' with id [CAD40D99-E333-457E-9993-BBE977D2CDA2]. Either a networking or a firewall issue exists or the availability replica has transitioned to the resolving role.
I have been using the software, and it has been working fine (on windows user A). Now, I have created another windows user (User B), and would like to use the same software/database. The software launches fine (User B), but cannot access the created SQL database (created with user A)
How do I setup the database to allow access from all users on the same PC?
i have installed windows 2008 evaluation, during installation i was not asked for username and pssword but when i try and start up its asking for administrator password.
In SQL Server 2005, the SQL Server full text engine (i.e., Microsoft Full Text Filter Daemon Launcher windows service) was installed as a Generic Service cluster resource in a Windows clustered environment.
However, in SQL Server 2012, the full text engine is not appearing as a "resource" within "Failover Cluster Manager" after installation. Do we need to manually configure the full text engine as a Failover Cluster Manager "resource" for SQL 2012? Or is this not necessary? If it needs to be configured, how do you go about doing it (i.e., what resource dependencies would you setup, etc.)
I know now that AlwaysOn feature HAS to be installed/configured on a Windows Clustering environment, BUT the secondary replicas, like the Disaster recovery replica residing in a different Data Center HAS to be also in a Windows Clustering environment or can it reside on a SINGLE SQL Server INSTANCE?.
I am wondering what would be the best disk/RAID setup for a Windows server 2008 R2 OS and SQL Server 2012 database that has heavy read/write. I have the following disks I can use:
4x 15k 146GB 2x 10k 600GB
According to the server build requirements for the application, I need 100GB for the OS and 290GB for the drive containing the SQL mdf there are no stated requirements for the ldf, but would like to know if it should be allocated elsewhere?I should do RAID 10 for the 15k drives for SQL and RAID 1 for the OS on the 10k.
In the registry in Windows 10, I looked inside HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftMicrosoft SQL Server. Is LoginMode still in some subfolder of that, or has it been moved to another place? Perhaps a differently named key is now used. Or perhaps it's configured in a config file for SQL Sever 2012 express.
We log ship our production database tansaction logs to a secondary database on a separate remote domain.
Incidentally, this was not set up via the "Ship Transaction Logs" wizard, but instead we had to use the various system stored procedures after restoring a copy of the database on the remote domain in standby mode.
We now have an issue where users are unable to access the remote secondary database without having sysadmin privileges. Clearly we want to avoid this!
We want to be able to use Windows Authentication mode on the server of the secondary database. But since the two domains differ, is it possible to even achieve this?
How can we set up read-only access for users on the secondary database without giving them sysadmin privileges?
I am attempting to write a Windows service that watches a database for uploaded files to import. When a new file is found, the corresponding SSIS package is run from the file system with variables passed through. I started development as a Windows app and copied the functionality to a service.
The app runs fine. The service does not. I get a "Failure" each time a package is executed. Everything is identical behind the scenes with the obvious exceptions that OnStart and OnStop handlers are buttons in the app. I added a script task at the beginning of one of the SSIS packages to notify me that it is even running at all. It doesn't even hit that initial task.
Again, the app will run all packages just fine. The data is imported and the results return as "Success."
The following is the code executing the package. Any help is appreciated. I've been banging my head on this one for a few days now. (Is there a tag to format a code sample?)
Dim pkgLocation As String Dim pkg As New Package Dim app As New Application Dim pkgResults As DTSExecResult
Have two C# applications - one WinForms desktop app, the other a WinForms smart device app. Both use SQL Server Compact CE 3.5 to store data locally. Both work just fine.
Now the desktop app needs to open and update the .SDF file that is stored on the Windows Mobile device. (Device will be docked via USB.)
What format would the path to the .SDF look like that the WinForms application would need to specify in order to open it?
I just upgraded from Windows XP Pro to Windows Vista Bussiness and tried to reinstall SQL Server 2005 Developers Edition. After the installation i downloaded (using microsoft windows update) and installed all the service packs for sql and vista available.
My problem is when i open sql server management studio and try to connect to my default instance using windows authentication and database engine, an 18456 error occurs.
I enabled all the protocols and all the ports I disabled windows firewall and antivirus (eset nod32) I installed all service packs available I have also installed Visual Studio 2005 without installing sqlexpress
But nothing happens!
Please i am very desperate, any information will be gratefully accepted.
This is my installation Information

Hi all,I have a Windows 2003 server, which is also a terminal server forapplication, with sql 2000 installed. My company has developed anapplication that uses SQL 2000 as its database. The application is aclient/server one. In each client computer there's a link to theapplication on the server. There is no problem with Windows 98,Windows 2000 pro, Windows xp pro clients, but the windows 95 onescannot log in to the database. The log of the application shows thefollowing error:connection error -2147467259. Cannot open database requested in login'database name'. Login fails.Till a week ago the application was running on a Windows 2000 serverwith SQL 2000 install and the W95 clients had no problem connecting tothe database, so my guess is the error has something to do withWindows 2003 server, but what'causing the error?I tried to install a newer version of MDAC (MDAC 2.5, the last versionof MDAC you can install on W95)but with no success. By the way W95clients have no problem accessing shared folder on the Windows 2003server.Any idea?ThanksMarino
