Microsoft SQL Server license model the cheapest for vCenter?

I was wondering what would be the less expensive license for an SME model that needs to have exceeded SQL express?

SQL licenses, it's not what I'm doing and I'm getting quotes from 300-$ 30,000 from providers such as CDW (kind of SQL licenses should not be what someone else does either). What I would do, is get the cheapest combination of Server/CAL or by heart that keeps my legal SMB - and I thought someone here might have some experience in the field.

Environmental databases:

  • Necessary databases: vCenter, composer, Horizon view events DB.
  • Database server will have 2 cores
  • All services configured to use a service account (one user) DBA & Windows Authentication

Thanks in advance!

I believe that, in this case launch Microsoft on the sidewalk and the VCA can reduce the overall cost of deployment.

  • Question: Is SQL Server 2014 on the roadmap for vSphere?

    Hello community,

    one of our clients is planning to implement Microsoft SQL Server 2014.

    Is SQL Server 2014 on the roadmap for VMware vSphere and the Update Manager?

    Or is it possible and supported to run vSphere 5.5 on a Microsoft SQL Server 2014.

    Kind regards

    Michael Winkenbach

    Hi Michael,

    Here you can check what VMware products are supported on what databases: VMware product interoperability Matrices

    MS SQL 2014 is not yet.

    Perhaps the next major release of vSphere will support it. Maybe we'll here on this subject at VMworld?

    So far I would say your client to not migrate databases of vSphere.

    I think I know the answer to that, but I need to confirm.  I have an environment vSphere 4.1 and am planning on the upgrade to vSphere 5.  When I installed vsphere 4.1, I used the Microsoft SQL SERVER 2005 Express database because I didn't have a license and my environment is low.  The question I have is that if I upgrade to vSphere 5 that comes with Microsoft SQl 2008 express edition installation will improve my SQL 2005 Express?

    Hi Antony Montana,

    Welcome to the Microsoft community. According to the description of the problem, you are not able to install the update (KB2463332). Provide the following information:

    ·         Did you do changes on the computer before the show?

    ·         You are able to install other updates successfully?

    ·         What is the full error message?

    ·         You use a third-party security software?

    I suggest you follow these methods.

    Method 1: Temporarily disable the security software.

    Note: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you do not disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network during the time that your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.

    Method 2: You can also manually install updates (KB number) by downloading from the Microsoft Download Center.

    http://www.Microsoft.com/downloads/en/default.aspx

    Method 3: Follow the steps in the article.

    How to reset the Windows Update components?

  • Windows Update failed - error 0 x 80070643 for Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Express Edition Service Pack 4 (KB2463332)

    Original title: Windows Update Failed - need help

    Vista 32 Ultimate with all updates, until this one: update Windows failed: error 0 x 80070643 for Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Express Edition Service Pack 4 (KB2463332). Update has failed repeatedly.  I tried to restart, remove the update (even by deleting the file so it would download it again) and install again.  Nothing has worked.  Error 80070643.  Since it is not Office 2003, the error seems to mean a problem with the Windows .NET framework.  Don't know what that means.

    Looking at KB976982, I tried to fix MSI software update registration corruption issues (whatever that means) by running the automated Fix It by KB971187. Restarted, I tried Windows Update again.  Still didn't update.

    Then, I waited two days and tried again.  Even that did not help.

    I tried bypassing Windows Update simply by downloading and then run the file SQLEXPR32.exe from Microsoft downloads. Did not work at all. I then tried to run it as an administrator (even if it was already an administrator account, with no other account on this computer at all).  He started to run and then gave me the following error message: unable to run the SQL Server System Configuration Checker due configulation WMI on the computer.  Error: 70347 (0x112cb).

    Now I'm really confused.  On the one hand, 80070643 means I probably repair the .NET framework, which certainly, I hate to do because I need several versions of the .NET framework first uninstall and then try to install the compmonents, and I'm afraid something would go wrong.

    On the other hand, the 70347 (0x112cb) error message seems to indicate the problem is completely different and has to do with WMI, which probably has to do with permissions and I have no idea how to solve this problem.  (And why it all of a sudden would be any problem with permissions?)  This computer is not on a corporate network and has only one user account, the administrative account).  I have looked at Services and Applications in computer management, where there are WMI control, but nothing shown that I can possibly change and not the SQL Server Configuration Manager under it, which doesn't seem to have much either.

    Help!  Please...

    And now I also tried to fix it, just in case where, the .NET framework (Panel > programs and features > Microsift.NET framework Client profile 4 > uninstall/change > fix it), and the Windows Update tried again (including reboot).  Still no.  Everything I try, it is not to do nothing, pardon my language.  People smarter than me, pleasehelp!

  • Window of the query editor with Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio DO NOT scroll

    In my view, that it is a question more of a Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio number... apologies if you think I might be in the wrong place of Windows...

    When you work in Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio, my cursor is common in my part of the query editor window. When I try using my scroll wheel it to review some SQL code, instead the scroll on my mouse wheel is controlling the pane objects in the Solution Explorer window and NOT the glass query editor.
    Some of our partners appear to be well with their ability to scroll using the mouse scroll wheel while others seem to be in the same boat I am, and nobody here seems to know why it is.
