Hi, The MBAM pre-req says SQL 2008 R2. Though on the forum's Microsoft says SQL 2008 R2 and above. So, can we use SQL 2012 with MBAM. ThanksGaurav Ranjan

Or any version of MBAM that we can use it with SQL 2012.Gaurav Ranjan

SQL 2012 can be used with MBAM v Next when we release in 6-8 months. Manoj Sehgal

Hi Manoj, Is SQL 2012 officialy supported configuration of MBAM by microsoft? In MBAM Administrator's Guide.pdf from: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=27555#top they are only talking about SQL 2008, not higher? ...if it is not officailly supported I would rather stay with SQL 2008 then. Thanks Gabi

We will have SQL 2012 support for MBAM 2.0 only. Currently you will use SQL 2008 with SP2 and above or SQL 2008 R2Manoj Sehgal

Hi Manoj, Thank you. I am preaparing my architecture vor MBAM now and I will have SQL Server 2008 R2 and then also mirrored database on the second SQL Server. The question is if I can have have IIS server configured as Hardware failover. (I don't want to use NLB von Microsoft as written in Dokus. I have max 7000 Clients and load will not be a problem, but I just want to be sure that IIS will be always available.) Do you know if this will work to have one Administration and Monitorig Web Server as primary and then also the second server just in case the first one crashes? Cheers Gabi

You can either use F5 hardware load balancer for NLB if you do not want to use Microsoft NLB. You can have 1 Admin & Monitoring Server and point to SQL DB which is using SQL DB Mirroring Feature. This will work. Manoj Sehgal
