AAD Connect supported on Windows Server 2019 - azure-active-directory

Is AAD Connect supported on Windows Server 2019? I was not able to find a statement on the documentation pages here https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/hybrid/how-to-connect-install-prerequisites

You may have already seen this page but... It doesn't say it's not supported.
https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/Azure-Active-Directory/AAD-Connect-on-Server-2019/td-p/319311
Question:
Has there been any announcement on when the AAD Connect tool will be supported on Server 2019? Can only see Windows Server 2019 Essentials mentioned in the release notes.
Answer:
Well, it says that it's not supported in Windows Server 2019 Essentials, but it does not say it's not supported in Windows Server 2019...indeed it says it's supported on Windows Server 2012 R2 SP1 or later https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/hybrid/how-to-connect-install-prerequisites
Follow up:
Thanks for the response, on the release notes it says it is supported for Windows server essentials from version 1.1.880.0.
Added support for Windows Server Essentials 2019
Would like to have seen something on the AAD connect release notes referencing Windows Server 2019 before advising the customer.

Unable to run Reporting Services 2017 on Azure instance running SQL Server 2017 Web edition

I'm running this version of SQL Server on an Azure instance:
Microsoft SQL Server 2017 (RTM) - 14.0.1000.169 (X64) Aug 22 2017 17:04:49
Copyright (C) 2017 Microsoft Corporation
Web Edition (64-bit) on Windows Server 2016 Datacenter 10.0 <X64> (Build 14393: ) (Hypervisor)
Per the description for the instance ('SQL Server 2017 Web on Windows Server 2016'):
This image contains the Web edition of SQL Server 2017 on Windows Server 2016. This provides a low-cost database solution for medium-size web applications. It includes the core database engine and Management Studio for integrated administration and development. Also includes basic versions of Reporting Services for web reports, Integration Services for moving and transforming data, and Analysis Services for data mining. We recommend that you use a virtual machine size of DS12 or higher.
When I attempt to connect / configure using the 'Report Services Configuration Manager', I'm unable to 'find' the Report server instance in the 'Reporting Services Configuration Connection' dialog. I.e. the 'Report Server Instance' had not values to choose from.
I installed Microsoft SQL Server 2017 Reporting Services (note three editions were available - Eval, Developer, & Express - tried each edition - uninstalling each version before trying the next)
When I went to configure the Reporting Services using the 'Report Server Configuration Manager' I got to the 'Change Database' tab. At the point that I am assigning the database engine to the reporting services I get the error:
The database engine instance you selected is not valid for this edition of report server
Note I'm running the Web edition of SQL Server, but I'm not seeing an option to select that in the installation of the report services
Thoughts re what I'm missing?
I Ended up reverting back to SQL 2016 to go around the issue
I have been having a similar issue. I tried to get the SQL Server key from a PowerShell script as well, but they didn't work for SQL Server 2017 Web Edition.
So the solution was much easier than I expected.
Go to the C: drive of your VM. You will find SQL Setup there.
Run the setup to start a new standalone installation. When you will be on product key page it will display the License Key.
Copy that key and put it into your Reporting Services Installation.
I hope it will help someone.
The error is basically saying you cannot use the edition of your SQL Server Engine (in this case, Web edition) for SQL Server Reporting Services 2017. Can you try a different edition of SQL Server?
Update:
You can learn more about supported editions of Database Engine you can use for each different type of edition of Reporting Services 2017 at https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/reporting-services/reporting-services-features-supported-by-the-editions-of-sql-server-2016. While some of the content may not be applicable for SSRS 2017, the bits which are applicable are still accurate.

How to install SharePoint Foundation 2010 with SQL server 2012 standard version on windows server 2012

I have to install SharePoint foundation 2010 with SQL server 2012 Standard Version on Windows server 2012
What I have flow the steps:
Installed Windows server 2012
Installed SQL server 2012 Standard Version
Installed SharePoint Foundation 2010(SP1)
But Issue is that SharePoint not picking the right SQL server 2012 Standard Version instance,it always uses the SQL server express instance that is comes with SharePoint SP1 .exe file.
I have tried this activity for 3- 4 times by removing SharePoint and SQL and Repair as well but always all the configuration databases are generated in the SQL express instance.
Did anyone having suggestions or solution will be appreciated.
Thanks
Your problem is that you are choosing Standalone installation and this option will always install SharePoint Data Bases in SQL Express.
When installing SharePoint you must choose Server Farm installation (even if SP and SQL are on the same server) at the second screen after accepting licence terms, some screens later you will be able to choose the SQL instance.
Here are some guides that may help you, however I recommend you to search more information:

Sql Server Reporting Services – SharePoint feature missing

I am trying to add Reporting Services – SharePoint feature to my computer sql server installation.
I am currently using Sql Server 2012 Enterprise on a 32 bit computer
Microsoft SQL Server 2012 - 11.0.2100.60 (Intel X86)
Feb 10 2012 19:13:17
Copyright (c) Microsoft Corporation
Enterprise Edition on Windows NT 6.1 <X86> (Build 7601: Service Pack 1)
Unfortunately, in Shared features I don't have the Reporting Services items mentioned in this article:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj219068.aspx
Could it be because I don't have Sharepoint installed on my computer?
Or maybe, because my computer is 32 bit?
Any suggestions?
Thanks
I think you have 64 bit computer Reporting Services Add-in for SharePoint Products says
computer must meet the following software requirements
The add-in is 64-bit only, which is a requirement of SharePoint 2010
products and technologies.
In this article you can check Report Server Database Requirements
If you want to install Reporting Services and a SharePoint product instance on the same computer, you can run SQL Server Express and another edition of
SQL Server side-by-side on the same computer or you can use the same instance of the Database Engine for the SharePoint configuration and content databases
if you choose the Advanced installation option when installing a
SharePoint product . If you choose the Basic installation option instead,
the SharePoint Setup program will install SQL Server Embedded Edition
as an internal component and use that instance to host the SharePoint databases.

SQL Server 2005 - install & setup -ADD_LOCAL property / template.ini / UPGRADE property

I'm trying to install SQL Server 2005 Developer Edition on my Windows 7 Ultimate laptop.
When the installation runs, I am getting the following error :-
A component that you have specified in the ADD_LOCAL property is already installed. To upgrade the existing component, refer to the template.ini and set the UPGRADE property to the name of the component.
I had installed an Express version from the Web Platform installer, but I'm sure I removed that. Also installed were compact editions from a mobile development workshop I did last year. I removed those also.
Currently my Uninstall or change a program list in Control Panel has the following SQL Server related entries :-
Microsoft SQL Server 2005
Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Backward Compatibility
Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Books Online (English)
Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Mobile [ENU] Developer Tools
Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Upgrade Advisor (English)
Microsoft SQL Server 2008 Setup Support Files
Microsoft SQL Server Native Client
Microsoft SQL Server Setup Support Files (English)
Microsoft SQL Server VSS Writer
Where do I go from here to get this product installed ?
In the end I followed this article.
http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/forums/en-US/sqlsetupandupgrade/thread/50164862-ef20-4758-9c7a-0d6ae8f1b3f9/
After rebooting and running the installation again, and choosing just the client components (the problem part of the install) it is now installing smoothly.
I'm going to rerun the installation in a few moments and install the SQL Engine, Reporting Services, Analysis Services, and the other options such as the sample databases.
Job done; it seems.

Can SQL Server 2008 Enterprise Edition be installed on Windows 7 Professional Edition?

I want to install SQL Server 2008 Enterprise Edition to Windows 7 Professional Edition. I tried many times, but it also failed.
Is it possible to do that? Has anyone successfully installed SQL Server 2008 on Windows 7? What are the steps to guarantee a successful install?
SQL Server Enterprise Edition does not support Windows client operating systems. You can only install it on Windows Server.
Try installing Developer Edition. It provides similar features with licensing restrictions (you can't install it on production servers).
I have installed on Windows 7 Ultimate right now. It may not be officially supported unless you're using Windows Server, but it does work.
