Windows 8 Availability

Dear Forum,

can anyone tell me why it is after the big press launch of Windows 8 11 days ago, I'm still not able to get a copy of Windows 8 ?

I placed my order on the 26th and I'm still waiting for it... Knowing when it would be launched for some time, why has microsoft decided to not make it available to download ?

Especially to technet members ?

IP change process in FPE 2010

Hi,

I am going to install FPE 2010 on exhange 2010 as a edge server. In future if i change the IP address of the Edge server does it create any issue in FPE.

Do i need to follow any instruction or process to change the edge server IP after FPE installation.

Reply:

Hi,

changing the IP-address of the server doesn't affect FPE. After changing the IP address you should check the send and receive connectors of all your servers if there is the old IP address listed.

Issue with the Staging Batch processing in MDS2012

Issue with the MDS staging process sequencing.

Issue:

Lets assume that i have inserted a record in the LEAF table of an entity with a particular batchtag "Entity_06112012", next day when i insert new records with batchtag "Entity_07112012" (without the previous batch "Entity_06112012" being executed). Then in this case, after inserting the batch "Entity_07112012":

1. if we try to process batch "Entity_06112012" - SUCCESS (the batch gets processed and the batchid is generated in the table mdm.tblstgBatch)

2. If i try to process the batch "Entity_07112012", Neither the BatchID doesnt get updated in the LEAF table nor the Batch is getting added to the table mdm.tblstgBatch. This causes issues with any batched getting added in future to this particular entity.

Findings:

Before Inserting records into the LEAF table for a new batch, we need to make sure that the previous batches are processed.

1. Validation is not mandatory to happen.

2. Previous batch can have issues with few members. (All members with Error_Code = 0 is not required ).

Hi rck214!

If you open the device manager, do you have any devices that are not installed?
(Start -> Right click computer -> Manage) In the area to the left, you will find the device manager.

Did you install Windows from a DVD, USB or PXE?
It could be that there are some drivers missing...

Hi!

If you try to remove the device from the device manager, right click on it and choose delete, and then try to scan for hardware changes (Right click on the computername in the device manager).
Does the computer find the device again? This will also verify if you have the correct drivers on your system.

it is working and i am getting output as name

if i want to pass more in 1query how to write that query?

means i will create 1table under 1 column & i will store all values in 1column

so instead of passing 1value can i pass column

values:

abc11

abc111

111abc

output should be

abc

Ram Gopal,

The suggestions Santhosh and Koen are correct. It seems you are putting single-quote around your column name so getting 'Invalid length parameter passed to the substring function.' error.

Remove the single-quotes and it should work fine -

declare @t table (name varchar(10))    insert into @t(name)  values  ('abc11'),  ('abc111'),  ('111abc')    select * from @t  select Substring(name,1,Patindex('%[0-9^]%', name)-1) as nameChars from @t

If I understand this correctly you would like to degrade the SQL server(s) where your SCOM dbases reside on?

Follow this procedure to safely move the dbase:

http://scug.be/christopher/2012/06/18/scom-opsmgr-moving-the-operations-manager-db-notes-from-the-field/

Note: Even when it's the same server this could best be considered a move.

If the Datawarehouse db also has to move check this:

http://scug.be/dieter/2011/04/13/scom-moving-the-opsdb-datawarehouse-to-another-drive/

Last but not least: Backup!

Make sure that your server meets the collation type requirements mentioned here:

Hi All,

Also would scom server needs to be reinstalled after sql downgrade.

Regards, Mike ||Persistent Work Triumphs||

------------------------------------
Reply:

First off, I would not recommend an in-place downgrade of SQL (not even sure that SQL supports this which is why I suggest asking on the SQL forums). If something went wrong then you'd lose the SQL server and be in a situation of having to recover a corrupt system from backups. Something I try and avoid.

If you follow the official documentation then you'll install SQL Std on a new set of servers and look to migrate the databases. At the very least the new SQL box should have the same version, service pack and cumulative SQL update as the existing. If you then follow the documentation to copy (rather than move) the databases to the new SQL box then if anything doesn't work then you can always switch back to the existing SQL Servers.

The settings you need to change on the SCOM management servers and reporting are listed in the documentation. I prefer Kevin Holmans documentation but Dieter has provided others which are equally as valid.

Cheers

Graham

It depends what you mean by SCOM Server - it means different things to different people.

But I can confirm there is no need to reinstall any SCOM Management Servers or Gateway Servers or consoles. You can edit existing registry settings to point the Management Servers to the new SQL Servers and to point SQL Reporting Services to the new SQL reporting services instance.

All the documentation links are for SCOM 2007 R2. If you are using SCOM 2012 then the documentation is here:

It looks like the Belgium user group site is down for the moment. If you try again later then it should be back online. Kevin Holman walks through the process in detail so there isn't much to add.

I'd suggest documentating the current environment and settings in detail including all the reporting settings, SQL Server settings (including logins to the master database and their associated database permissions) and any customised reports (which, depending on how they have been created might need to be moved as well). Then copy and paste one of the walkthroughs (either Kevin Holman or one from SCUG.be) into a design document which you then tailor it specifically your settings.

Cheers

Sorry if you mentioned this already, but out of curiosity - why do you want to downgrade from Enterprise to Standard? There are some advantages to Enterprise, especially for larger environments. If you have a relatively small environment (under 500-1000 agents) and you do not need to take advantage of more than 4 cores on the server or better optimization of Enterprise, then Standard should be fine for you.

Otherwise, the advice already given here should get you going.

The biggest factor is cost.

Std = Free (if dedicated to System Center).

Enterprise is going to be $x0,000.

Agree that size of deployment will be a consideration - the original poster should be able to confirm.

so i need to uninstall reporting feature or do i straight away go ahead and install sql standard 2008.

Not sure why you have uninstalled SQL Enterprise - my suggestion (above) was - "If you follow the official documentation then you'll install SQL Std on a new set of servers and look to migrate the databases. At the very least the new SQL box should have the same version, service pack and cumulative SQL update as the existing. If you then follow the documentation to copy (rather than move) the databases to the new SQL box then if anything doesn't work then you can always switch back to the existing SQL Servers."

Does this mean you no longer have a SCOM SQL Server??

You'll need all SQL components to be on Standard but I'd not uninstall anything. Build a new set of SQL Servers and use the documentation to get a working copy of the databases across to the new SQL servers. Then switch the Management Servers to use this new SQL Server. If there are any issues then you can simply switch the management servers back to the original SQL Server and reconsider.

Hi graham,

Thanks for your reply.

The reason being shortage of servers.Also there is one query.

We have an existing scom server with sql server 2008 enterprise and we also need to uninstall it and configure sql standard.

It is currently only acting us as our reporting server,but we also need to uninstall it completely and get to sql standard.

so should we perform typical installation of sql and would this affect my scom reporting.

1.Would i have to uninstall scom reporting for doing this and goahead with sql installation.

2.Would direct installation of sql on current scom infrastructure create reporting feature mess.
