Lync 2010 with SQL Server 2012


As stated here or here SQL Server 2012 is not a supported platform for Lync 2010. Yet, is there any workaround?

Didn't find a full solution on the web, so will be posting one which should help some of the people that might face this situation.


Solution

  • Some cases should be solved simply by copying the msdb.sys.sp_dboption stored procedure, from a previous version of SQL Server, into the master database of SQL Server 2012, and marking it as a system procedure so it can be executed on any database:

    USE master
    GO
    EXEC sys.sp_MS_marksystemobject sp_dboption
    

    There is still something more that can be done if the above is not enough - Install the SQL Server 2005 Backward Compatibility Components MSI (it includes the DMO feature)

    32 bit, X86 Package - SQLServer2005_BC.msi 64 bit, X64 Package - SQLServer2005_BC_x64.msi

    Best solution is still the one where you kept Lync 2010 running on SQL Server <= 2008R2 and didn't have to reach this page:)
