After creating a working stub of a Custom Rendering Extension, it was time to add the actual functionality. In order to do so, the Report Server Object Model used for Report Rendering has to be understood. In this blog post, I want to share some insights gained during this process. It will hopefully help to speed up the process of getting in touch with the Report Server Object Model, but isn't a replacement for existing reference and the need of digging deeper by yourself.
Depending on the Type of Reporting Extension (Processing, Rendering, Delivery etc.), different Namespaces are used. The Types itself are similar, but not equal. E.g. the Processing Extension uses the Microsoft.ReportingServices.RdlObjectModel-Namespace, containing details for the Report Parameter Layout - irrelevant for Report Rendering and therefore missing in the Microsoft.ReportingServices.OnDemandReportRendering-Namespace.
This Blog Post is focused on the Report Rendering Object Model. Nevertheless, it is useful to identify the corresponding element and structure in the Report Definition and then have a look after the corresponding elements in the Rendering Object Model.
E.g. Table => Tablix-Type - SSDT and RDL-File:
The overall report is structured into Report Sections, containing Report Items in their Report Body:
Report Items are the visual elements, dragged into a report. The Type for Table, Matrix and List is all Tablix. Also Data Bar and Chart are both of Type Chart.
Report Element is the Base Type of Report Item with some other derived Types used for internal Report Structure.
There are two kind of types, the ones for Report Definition, containing the uncalculated expressions, e.g. "=Fields!xyz.Value", and the ones with the actual calculated values. The latter usually have the Type-Postfix "Instance", e.g. "TextBox" vs. "TextBoxInstance". The Types for actual instances are much more differentiated than the definition ones in order to differentiate between static and dynamic ones, e.g. in case of a table, header columns are static and data bound columns are dynamic - requiring the row-by-row processing of the underlying data.
The following three types are the base Report Definition Types for many other types in the Report Object Model, containing some basic information of all elements:
If an element is bound to a dataset, the instance contains the value of the current row. To get the values of all rows, they have to be processed.
Common methods, e.g. according to TablixDynamicMemberInstance:
Types supporting these methods:
To process all instances, simply call ResetContext() and then process each instance inside a while(instance.MoveNext()). Depending on the complexity of the Report Item, several nested processings may be required to get all data, e.g. in a Tablix with dynamic rows and columns.
Tablix and Chart are the common "more complex ones" of the Report Items.
A tablix may contain several row- and column-hierarchies. Each of them may contain several TablixMember, which may be nested. To get a look on all items in SSDT, switch to Advanced Mode:
Depending on the nature of the Tablix Member - either static or dynamic (Property TablixMember.IsStatic), its instance is either of Type TablixMemberInstance or TablixDynamicMemberInstance.

В мае 2017 представителями Microsoft был анонсирован выход предварительных версий Windows Server в рамках программы Windows Insider.
И вот на днях выпущена первая публичная предварительная версия Windows Server сборки 16237. Подробный список новых возможностей приведён в блоге Windows. Загрузить предварительные сборки для участников Windows Insider и Windows Insider for Business можно со страницы программы.
(この記事は 2017 年 6 月 7 日にMicrosoft Partner Network blog に掲載された記事 Building the Next Generation of Intelligent Apps and Services の翻訳です。最新情報についてはリンク元のページをご参照ください。)
ソフトウェアは驚くような形で世界を変え続けており、開発者たちがその変化の中心を担っています。私にとっては、パートナー様がマイクロソフトの最新テクノロジを利用してお客様のために新しい製品やソリューションを開発しているようすを拝見するのが、いつも楽しみです。
開発者の皆様は今まさに、デジタル トランスフォーメーションの真っ只中にいます。そしてパートナー様は Microsoft Inspire (英語) などのイベントに参加することで、そうした画期的な最新テクノロジを活用して、最先端のインテリジェントなクラウド アプリや、シンプルなエンドツーエンドの DevOps エクスペリエンス、これまで想像もできなかったような AI を組み込んだアプリ (英語) など、さまざまなものを生み出す方法を学ぶことができます。
実際に大きな成果を上げているマイクロソフト パートナー様として、Mirabeau (英語) をご紹介します。アムステルダムを拠点とする同社は、可能な限り優れたユーザー エクスペリエンスを実現するための戦略、デザイン、DevOps、インサイトを兼ね備えた企業です。適切なビジュアルを採用し、直観的なテクノロジを駆使し、将来を見据えた高い適応性を身に付けることで、デジタル トランスフォーメーションを推し進めています。私は Mirabeau がどのようにマイクロソフトとパートナーシップを結び、Microsoft Cognitive Services を活用してオランダのトランサヴィア航空のチャットボットを開発したかについて、同社のクライアント マネージャーを務める Peter Bakker 氏からお話を伺いました。
Mirabeau にとっては優れたアイデアと実行力こそがすべてだと Bakker 氏は話します。「すばらしいアイデアを完璧に実行すること、専門知識を活かすこと、エンド ユーザーに寄り添った視点から世界を見ることを大切にしています。お客様に代わって最高のアイデアからソリューションを開発し、最短期間で市場に投入しているのです。Cognizant Digital Business の一員になったことで、サービスの幅が広がり、グローバルに事業を拡大できました」
Mirabeau のお客様は世界各国の大手企業です。競争力を維持するためには、お客様に寄り添う必要があります。刻々と変化するデジタルの世界で競合企業よりも常に一歩先を行こうとするなら、最新のテクノロジが欠かせません。そこで Mirabeau は、さまざまな専門分野にわたる「アジャイル」というチームを編成し、テクノロジの進歩とニーズの変化にすばやく対応できるように取り組んでいます。
トランサヴィア航空はエールフランス‐KLM グループの独立企業で、ヨーロッパでも有数の格安航空会社として知られています。トランサヴィア航空は顧客向けにチャット アプリを提供していましたが、顧客の使用パターンに大きな変化が生じていました。そんなとき休暇旅行に出ていた 1 人の幹部が、このアプリをベースとして、単なるヒューマン インターフェイスにとどまらない、新しいサービスを作り出す必要があると思い立ちました。こうしてチャットボットが誕生したのです。
Bakker 氏は次のように語っています。「デジタル メディアは非常に速いペースで開発されており、衰える兆しはありません。チャットは一般的なコミュニケーション手段 (英語) として、モバイル ユーザーの間に急速に浸透しています。会話型インターフェイスによって、顧客は WhatsApp や Facebook Messenger といったメッセンジャー プラットフォーム上から企業と直接やり取りすることができます。有名なシリコンバレーのベンチャーキャピタルである KPCB は、これまでの常識をくつがえすような進歩になるだろうと予測しています」
「Mirabeau の提案を初めて聞いたとき、すぐに気に入りました。チャットボットが次の大きな波を起こすことは私たちの目にも明らかでしたが、その流れに乗じてトランサヴィアのお客様に真の付加価値を提供するための方法を教えてくれたのです」
- トランサヴィア航空、イノベーション リード、Ines Verburgh 氏
企業は顧客に寄り添わなければならない、Bakker 氏はそう考えます。最新テクノロジを駆使しつつ、個人と向き合うことが不可欠です。顧客 1 人ひとりと有意義な関係を築き、継続的に対話を重ねていく必要があります。そして何よりも、企業は顧客に約束したことを果たなければなりません。
「将来、デジタルは完全に個々のユーザーに寄り添ったものになるでしょう。そこで生き残れるのは、顧客についてきちんと理解し、そのニーズに応えられる企業だけです。Mirabeau はそうした企業を目指すことで業績を伸ばしてきました。当社は Web サイトやモバイル、ボット、機械学習、IoT、そしてオフライン チャネルなど、どのチャネルを経由するカスタマー ジャーニーであっても、隅々まで安全性を確保しています」(Bakker 氏)
Bakker 氏によると、Mirabeau が Microsoft Cognitive Services の Language Understanding Intelligent Service を導入した当初、同サービスではまだオランダ語の追加サポートに向けて取り組んでいるところだったため、まず英語での会話に活用することにしました。「Mirabeau とトランサヴィア航空に寄せられたユーザーのご意見から、オランダ語での会話に対応することの重要性を強く認識しました。ちょうど最近 Language Understanding (Intelligent Service) でオランダ語がサポートされたので、トランサヴィア航空のチャットボットはオランダ語でもスムーズにやり取りできるようになりました。現在はさらに他のお客様向けにもチャットボットの開発を進めており、数か月後には運用が開始される予定です」(Bakker 氏)
このように Mirabeau では、次世代のインテリジェント アプリを開発したことで、カスタマー エクスペリエンスに革命をもたらしており、大いに刺激をもらえる事例だと思います。今後も、Microsoft Azure を活用してテクノロジとビジネスの未来を形作っていくパートナー様の事例をご紹介していく予定です。次回をお楽しみに。
皆様はどのようにマイクロソフトとパートナーシップを結び、お客様のための新しいテクノロジを開発していますか。また、今後はマイクロソフトとどのようなパートナーシップを築いていきたいですか。ぜひご意見をお寄せください。
Over the last couple of months we've seen different ways of deploying Microsoft Office 365 Pro Plus to Windows 10 PCs, first up we saw the option inside of Intune for Education, and then last week at Inspire we saw how this works from the Office 365 portal in Microsoft 365 Business. For those who aren't using either of those options, but still want an incredibly easy way to deploy Office 365 Pro Plus and Office 365 Business.
First of all, in the Azure Portal, open the Intune blade and click on Mobile apps.
Once in Mobile apps, you can see more options for app management, and we start by clicking on the Apps link.
I've already synchronised this account with Windows Store for Business, so you can see some of the default apps that it adds to the app list. From here we click Add.
From the drop down we choose Office 365 Pro Plus Suite (Windows 10), which as you will see also works for those of you with Office 365 Business or Office 365 Business Plans.
Starting with Configure App Suite, it's not very likely that you will need to select all of the options, but in this case I've just done it to make sure I get all of the application icons exposed.
Next up is App Suite Information, all we really need to do here is populate the Suite Name and Suite Description fields, the others are either pre-populated or not required.
App Suite Settings gives the chance to select 32 or 64 bit, Update Channel, EULA and shared computer activation, along with additional languages.
Once configured we Add the app.
The blue notification bar advises that we need to Assign application to at least one user group, 'Click Assignments'.
I've already got a group set up for deployment, so I can Select that group.
Next I will make the app Required to kick start the installation process on the client.
Switching over the Intune MDM enrolled Windows 10 client, you can see that the Click-To-Run installer pieces are running, as displayed in Task Manager.
As this is going to be over 1GB in size, it might take a while to download, depending on your connection speed.
Once the installation is complete you we can see the Office Pro Plus applications on the Start menu.
Here's where the Pro Plus versus Business conversation starts. As you can see, the expected version of Office is installed. However, it hasn't automatically activated because this user doesn't have Pro Plus/E3/E5 license assigned, they only have Office 365 Business.
If I close Word and then reopen it, you can see that the edition has changed from Pro Plus to Business, no additional configuration required.
And finally, once Office has been reconfigured itself as office 365 Business, everything is ready to go.
Lets keep it simple: "Exchange safety net takes over where the shadow redundancy has left." Once the message is deivered to the mailbox AND before is is successfully replicated to the passive mailbox database copies- it is stored in a queue that is associated with the transport service on mailbox server. This queue is called Safety net and is an advancement of Transport Dumpster of exchange 2010. By default the safety net holds a copy of a successfully delivered message for 2 days.
Safety net does not require a DAG, like shadow redundancy; safety net stores the successfully delivered message to other mailbox server in same active directory if DAG is not a part.
Safety net itself is not a single point of failure. if the primary shadow redundancy fails; the shadow copy will take over and the messages are redelivered from the shadow subnet. you can configure thus behavior by changing this commandlet: set-transportConfig.
How does it work?
Shadow redundancy keeps a redundant copy of the message while the message is in transit. Safety Net keeps a redundant copy of a message after the message is successfully processed. So, Safety Net begins where shadow redundancy ends. concepts in shadow redundancy, including the transport high availability boundary, primary messages, primary servers, shadow messages and shadow servers also apply to Safety Net.
The Primary Safety Net exists on the Mailbox server that held the primary message before the message was successfully processed by the Transport service. This could mean the message was delivered to the Mailbox Transport Delivery service on the destination Mailbox server. Or, the message could have been relayed through the Mailbox server in an Active Directory site that's designated as a hub site on the way to the destination DAG or Active Directory site. After the primary server processes the primary message, the message is moved from the active delivery queue into the Primary Safety Net on the same server.
The Shadow Safety Net exists on the Mailbox server that held the shadow message. After the shadow server determines the primary server has successfully processed the primary message, the shadow server moves the shadow message from the shadow queue into the Shadow Safety Net on the same server.

BLOG ROUNDUP
Last week at Inspire, Satya Nadella unveiled Microsoft 365, which brings together Office 365, Windows 10 and Enterprise Mobility + Security, delivering a complete, intelligent and secure solution to empower employees. It represents a fundamental shift in how we will design, build and go to market to address our customers’ needs for a modern workplace. To address the commercial needs from the largest enterprise to the smallest business, we are introducing Microsoft 365 Enterprise and Microsoft 365 Business. Microsoft 365 Enterprise is designed for large organizations and integrates Office 365 Enterprise, Windows 10 Enterprise and Enterprise Mobility + Security to empower employees to be creative and work together, securely. Microsoft 365 Business is designed for small- to medium-sized businesses with up to 300 users and integrates Office 365 Business Premium with tailored security and management features from Windows 10 and Enterprise Mobility + Security. It offers services to empower employees, safeguard the business and simplify IT management.
New business apps in Office 365 Business Premium help you run and grow your small business
To make Office 365 more valuable for your small business, we are announcing three new applications coming to Office 365 Business Premium: (1) Microsoft Connections—A simple-to-use email marketing service, (2) Microsoft Listings—An easy way to publish your business information on top sites, and (3) Microsoft Invoicing—A new way to create professional invoices and get paid fast. We’re also introducing the Office 365 Business center, a central place where you can manage these business apps and get an end-to-end view of your business. In addition, we’re adding MileIQ, the leading mileage tracking app, as an Office 365 Business Premium subscription benefit. These new services—along with the recently added Microsoft Bookings and Outlook Customer Manager—help you win customers and manage your business. Connections, Listings, Invoicing and the Business center are rolling out in preview over the next few weeks to Office 365 Business Premium subscribers in the U.S., U.K. and Canada, starting with those in the First Release program. MileIQ Premium is now available to all Business Premium subscribers in the U.S, U.K. and Canada.
Digitize your workplace one photo at a time with intelligent search in OneDrive for Business
A picture is worth a thousand words, and now your images uploaded to OneDrive can be just that with our new intelligent detection and search functionality. Taking notes is much harder than snapping a photo with your phone. It's a great way to document a meeting or site visit; the whiteboard image tells the story of shared construction and development. With that in mind, the product team have been hard at work on a feature which we hope helps you every day, to work smarter, faster and with better recollection. We're excited to share some of the steps on the journey with you. We are starting small at first, but have a goal to grow the capability based on your feedback and needs. Releasing this month (July 2017) is the ability to search for photos using the objects that are in them. When you upload an image into OneDrive, whether a snap of a whiteboard, a receipt, a screen shot, a vector graphic, line drawing or even x-ray film, OneDrive will automatically detect it, and make it available in search, without you having to do anything other than upload the image.
Redesigned navigation, conversations and search in Outlook for iOS and Android
We’re launching exciting new changes to Outlook on iOS and Android. It’s the Outlook you know and love, with a redesigned conversation experience and the ability to quickly switch between accounts and browse folders. In addition, new intelligent search capabilities, powered by Microsoft Graph, are coming soon. The new accounts navigation and conversations experiences are available now in Outlook for iOS with Outlook.com and Gmail accounts. Support for Office 365 accounts will be rolling out in the coming days. The new search experience is coming soon to Outlook for iOS. We’re working hard right now to bring all three of these new experiences to Outlook for Android over the next couple of months.
Easily publish your flows to the public gallery, improved custom connector experience and more!
It's now easy to publish any flows you create to the public gallery. Simply select the More... menu when you are looking at a flow and then choose the Submit to Gallery option. You can choose the set of categories for the template that will be in the gallery. We have also released a new action for the Office 365 Outlook and Outlook.com connectors called Get calendar view of events. This action takes a start time and end time and inputs, and returns a list of the events, including instances of recurring events, that happen during that time window. There is a new Run now option on the mobile app when you select a flow that has Recurrence as the trigger. This means you can quickly kick off flows that normally run on a schedule. There are several new capabilities in the Custom Connector experience. First, you can create dynamic dropdowns. Dynamic dropdowns are used when the set of items in a list can change depending on the user. The second new feature is you can add polling triggers. The third new feature for custom connectors is there is a rich experience for testing.

We are pleased to announce the first public release candidate for SQL Server 2017, Release Candidate 1 (RC1), which will be made available later today. This means that development work for the new version of SQL Server is complete along most dimensions needed to bring the industry-leading performance and security of SQL Server to Windows, Linux, and Docker containers.
In our seven community technology previews (CTPs) to date, SQL Server 2017 has delivered:
In SQL Server 2017 RC1, there were several feature enhancements of note:
SQL Server 2017 has several new benchmarks demonstrating faster performance than competitive databases, and against older versions of SQL Server:
In SQL Server 2017, we have introduced support for SQL Server on Linux-based containers, a benefit for customers using containers in development or production. We’re also working to help developers get started developing an app for SQL Server as fast as possible with installation instructions, code snippets, and other handy information.
On our new microsite DevOps using SQL Server, which launched today, developers and development managers can learn how to integrate SQL Server in their DevOps tasks. Find demos, documentation, and blogs, as well as videos and conference presentations. Or, join the DevOps conversation at our Gitter channels.
In fact, with our Early Adoption Program, customers can develop new applications for SQL Server 2017 or add Linux support to existing applications, and get the support and end-user license agreement that they need to go into production on SQL Server right now. Here are some customers already benefitting from SQL Server 2017 on Linux:
Try the release candidate of the SQL Server 2017 today! Get started with our updated developer tutorials that show you how to install and use SQL Server 2017 on macOS, Docker, Windows, and Linux and quickly build an app in a programming language of your choice.

SQL Server 2017 will bring with it support for the Linux OS and containers running on Windows, Linux, and macOS. Our goal is to enable SQL Server to run in modern IT infrastructure in any public or private cloud.
With support for containers, SQL Server can now be used in many popular DevOps scenarios. Developers working with Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) pipelines can now include SQL Server 2017 containers as a component of their applications for an integrated build, test, and deploy experience.
CI/CD automation with containers – Using containers greatly simplifies the development, testing, and deployment of applications. This is achieved by the packaging of all dependencies, including SQL Server, into a portable, executable environment that reduces variability and increases the speed of every iteration in the CI/CD pipeline. This also enforces a consistent experience for all participants since they can share the same state of an application in their containers. Developers can improve applications in their local environments during the first part of the Continuous Integration process.
The development process starts by taking a container that represents the current state of a production application, including a subset of the sanitized data. Developers can then add their features and fixes to it, while having the ability to verify the functionality of the application at any moment. Then, the container can be sent to a testing/quality assurance environment where it can be tested with a larger, more representative dataset.
Continuous Deployment is a critical part of DevOps pipelines. With a successful CD pipeline, a validated and self-contained version of the application is available. Developers can publish and share fully configured containers with all application dependencies, including SQL Server, with their peers. This can significantly improve developers’ ability to collaborate as they can all work on the same exact configurations simultaneously without having to build the complicated environment necessary for developing and testing applications with many components.
Parallel testing made fast and easy – Developers can automate the large-scale testing of containerized applications that include SQL Server. Thousands of tests can execute in parallel using high-density container deployments with managed container services. Kubernetes, Docker Swarm, or other orchestration systems can be used to easily manage a large number of test executions. Long-running test cycles can be optimized by load balancing the executions across multiple pods that spin up on demand and spin down when finished.
The Microsoft SQL Server development team is now taking advantage of these capabilities in building, testing, and publishing the new versions of SQL Server 2017. The team uses Azure Container Services to deploy hundreds of containers managed by a large Kubernetes cluster to execute all daily tests of SQL Server. Hundreds of thousands of tests are executed within hours of the availability of a new build! This methodology has enabled the team to run more tests in less time with fewer resources.
Multi-OS development, test, and production environments – With the containerization of the app, developers no longer need to be concerned about aligning stages of the development and production pipeline with the same exact distribution and version of Linux. Developers can containerize their application environment, including SQL Server, to abstract it from the operating system of the underlying host. Whether part of the pipeline is operated on Ubuntu and other parts in Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL), the ability to containerize the entire application environment eliminates the need to overcome challenges of a cross-platform environment. Developers are also free to choose their preferred development environment without worrying about compatibility issues in later parts of the pipeline. With SQL Server 2017, developers can run SQL Server Linux Docker images on macOS, Windows, and Linux.
Deploying SQL Server into production – As new versions of the application are tested and verified, builds of the containers are published for use in staging and production. The exact version of the SQL Server that was used throughout the development and testing pipeline is now in the production image, and the team can be confident that the entire stack, including SQL Server, has been tested as one unit and is ready for use.

With the announcement a few months ago that CodePlex, the home of AutoSPInstaller and plenty of other open-source projects, was going to shut down roughly by the end of 2017, I knew I'd have to take action to keep my popular AutoSPInstaller automated SharePoint 201x installation project accessible. So, after a successful migration attempt for my other popular (but much smaller) CodePlex project AutoSPSourceBuilder, I decided to give AutoSPInstaller migration a try. Luckily, the migration process has gotten much smoother, and happened much more quickly and with less effort than I'd anticipated. Mind you only the source code and version history has been migrated - no Discussions, Issues or Releases will be moved over - so we'll be starting from scratch in a sense for those.
Anyhow without further delay, here's the location of the new home of AutoSPInstaller:
https://github.com/brianlala/AutoSPInstaller
According to Brian Harry's blog post, the other items on the old CodePlex project (Discussions, Items etc.) should remain available until December 15th 2017 for reference & support purposes before the content gets archived.
Finally, I'd be remiss not mention AutoSPInstaller's successor in this space, SharePointDSC - check it out!
Cheers
Brian
In the beginning of June, the Azure team published new and updated documentation for reverse DNS. There are 3 new pages:

In the new Microsoft Intune on Azure administration console, there is a new “Discovered apps” node available for each MDM enrolled device.
There’s been some recent confusion around what we should expect to see in here.
The Discovered apps node is a direct reflection of the devices discovered apps at the last Hardware Inventory time.
For devices with Device Ownership marked as Corporate this will be all apps installed on the device. For devices with Device Ownership marked as Personal this will be all apps installed via the Intune Company Portal or apps installed in a Required deployment.
The list of apps displayed here are only reflective of those apps installed at the last inventory scan. Please be aware that inventory is run every 7 days for mobile devices, so the Discovered apps list could potentially be up to seven days out of date.

Scenario:
We already have a working Primary and secondary replica and we know that ConfigMgr 1702 does support an extra replica i.e. 2nd Secondary replica. So we are adding a freshly built node as a secondary replica.
The documentation we have around this can be found below.
Issues with the above approach:
Now what we do not consider above is the fact that there are many things which are critical to us that is not synched when a new replica is set up. The SQL replica will not sync any instanceServer level objects but it only sync database level objects.
So what do we miss synching?
Hence working on this issue we did come on the things to do for such addition. After some good back and forth troubleshooting, Sean Mahoney helped to get this check list compiled. Below is the scenario for adding a new node for a Primary Site. It is highly recommended to open a CSS case so that we can help you perform these things as they are dynamic dependent on where the steps are performed.
1. Validate that Site server is a Local Admin on SQL Server
2. Validate there is a SPN for new SQL Node
3. Validate SQL Aliases on SQL Server
4. Validate SQL Aliases on Site Server
5. Add New node to Windows Failover Cluster
6. Enable Always On to SQL Service on new Replica node and restart SQL Service
7. Backup SSB Cert on CAS
USE MASTER
Backup Certificate ConfigMgrEndpointCert TO FILE='C:TempCAS.CER'
8. Copy Certificate to Primary
9. Add Site Server as New Replica DB:
CREATE LOGIN [DOMAINSITESERVER$] FROM WINDOWS WITH DEFAULT_DATABASE=[master], DEFAULT_LANGUAGE=[us_english]
ALTER SERVER ROLE [sysadmin] ADD MEMBER [DOMAINSITESERVER$]
ALTER SERVER ROLE [securityadmin] ADD MEMBER [DOMAINSITESERVER$]
9. Stop Transaction Log Backup
10. Add New SQL Replica to AO AG
11. Stop CM Site
12. Failover to New Replica and run script:
DECLARE @DBNAME NVARCHAR(128)
SELECT @DBNAME = 'CM_<Site>' -- DBName
EXECUTE ('
USE ' + @DBNAME + '
ALTER DATABASE ' + @DBNAME + ' SET HONOR_BROKER_PRIORITY ON
ALTER DATABASE ' + @DBNAME + ' SET TRUSTWORTHY ON
EXEC sp_configure ''show advanced options'', 1;
RECONFIGURE;
EXEC sp_configure ''clr enabled'', 1;
RECONFIGURE;
EXEC sp_configure ''max text repl size (B)'', 2147483647;
RECONFIGURE;
EXEC sp_changedbowner ''sa'' ;
')
13. Start Transaction Log backup job
14. Fail back to original Replica
15. Start Services (had to restart sitecomp 2x to get SQL Certificates created)
16. Validate ConfigMgr SQL Server Identification Certificate is in Personal Store of new Replica SQL Server
17. Validate ConfigMgr SQL Server Identification Certificate is in the Trusted People certificate store on the Site Server
18. Manually Add the Certificate to the SQL Server Protocol using SQL Server Configuration Manager and Restart SQL Service on new Replica
19. Fail over to new Replica (This add the SSB Certificate to the CM Database)
20. Add SQL Broker Endpoint
declare @XMLParam XML;
select @XMLParam= Body from XMLConfigStore where name = 'ServiceBrokerConfiguration'
exec spConfigureServiceBroker @XMLConfig = @XMLParam, @SSBPort = 4022, @SqlCertFile = 'd:CAS.cer', @ParentSiteCode = '<CASSiteCode>' , @ParentSiteSqlServerFqdn = '<CAS SQL Server FQDN>'
18. Export SSB Certificate from Primary
USE MASTER
Backup Certificate ConfigMgrEndpointCert TO FILE='C:Temp<PRISiteCode>.CER'
19. Copy Cert to CAS SQL Server
Assuming CAS is also running SQL AO AG with two nodes.
20. Import New Primary Site SSB Certificate to CAS Node1
Exec dbo.spCreateSSBLogin
@EndPointLogin='ConfigMgrEndpointLogin<PRISiteCode>',
@DestSiteCode='<PRISiteCode>',
@DestSiteCertFile='C:<PRISiteCode>.cer',
@EndpointName='ConfigMgrEndpoint',
@DestSqlServerFqdn='<PRISQLListenerFQDN>'
Exec dbo.spCreateSSBLogin
@EndPointLogin='ConfigMgrEndpointLogin<PRISiteCode>',
@DestSiteCode='<PRISiteCode>',
@DestSiteCertFile='C:<PRISiteCode>.cer',
@EndpointName='ConfigMgrEndpoint',
@DestSqlServerFqdn='<PRISQLListenerFQDN>'
Repeat steps for third node if needed.
Now if the Node addition scenario happens to be a CAS site then the certificates from all primaries will need to be reimported on the new node.
We are working on to change this behavior for more automated way in ConfigMgr 1710. Hope it helps!
