Infrastructure at your Service
Itâs every time hard to replace a login who as role and permissions in every database like the service account for SCOM. In the previous version of Scom, you create a service account (dbi\scom) to access the SQL Server and check the health of the databases. Now it’s possible to use the System Center Operations Manager Health Service (NT SERVICE\HealthService). To do this change on all SQL Servers, I write a script. I create the…
I’m currently working on the migration of a Failover Clustered SSAS instance from Windows Server 2012 to Windows Server 2019. The context is quite complex and in order to choose the right migration scenario I need to play with it on my LAB environment first. I usually work with AlwaysOn architectures and it’s not often that I need to set up an FCI with its Cluster Shared Volume. As a reminder, a Cluster Shared Volume…
Based on the blog “Copy or Migrate a SSISDB environment” of my colleague Christophe, I create a new one named 2.0. In the precedent script, you need to give the folder name and environment name and he generates all environment variables for these 2 parameters. In my case, I need to generate all folders and what are in these folders. The 2.0 script will generate the creation of the folder and the environment name if…

I can do it then you can also do it! đ The first thing to know is how to call the information on a table. In this case you need to…
By a customer, I must migrate a database from a domain to another. The goal is to keep the database-user permissions, take the new SID from the windows login of the new domain and change the database-user name. In my blog, I will do it with two dbiâs domains: – dbiservicech: The old domain – dbiservicecorp: The new domain I have two Windows groups dbiservicech\dbi-owner and dbiservicech\dbi-reader in my database test-dbi. I create two new…
I made a mistake recently when adding a new node to an existing Windows Failover Cluster supporting AlwaysOn SQL Server instances. When adding a new node using the GUI there’s this option checked by default named “Add all eligible storage to the cluster”. Before performing the operation the disks on the 2 nodes of my cluster were used by the SQL Server instances. Because I’m using the AlwaysOn features the disks are local on…
By Franck Pachot . In the previous blog post I’ve installed SQL Server on the Oracle Cloud. My goal was actually to have a look at Redgate SQL Clone, a product that automates thin cloning. The SQL Server from the Oracle marketplace is ok for SQL Clone prerequisites. There’s a little difference in .NET Framework version (I have 4.6 where 4.7.2 or later is required but that’s fine – if it was not an update…
By Franck Pachot . You can create a VM with SQL Server running in the Oracle Cloud. This is easy with a few clicks on the marketplace: Here are the steps I did above: Oracle Cloud -> Marketplace -> Application -> Category -> Database management You have multiple flavors. I’ve chosen the lastest cheaper “Microsoft SQL 2016 Standard with Windows Server 2016 Standard” Select the compartment and “Launch Instance” Choose a name, and the network…
Today I faced a strange issue when I tried to install a new SQL Server instance : Failed to retrieve data for this request This error occurred just after clicking on “New SQL Server stand-alone installation…” The error message is not helpful at all. So, the first step to troubleshoot an issue is to look at the error logs. The location by default is : C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\140\Setup Bootstrap\Log There is a summary.txt file…
I’m doing some cleaning on my customer’s instances. I want to delete the login of a previous DBA for 2 reasons; this person does not work anymore in my customer’s company and all DBA are members of a group that is given permission on the instances. I don’t want to see any DBA’s personal login on SQL Server instances. When I try to delete the login I receive the following error; Msg 15173, Level 16,…
