Please refer the below links: http://dba.stackexchange.com/questions/47431/why-is-sql-server-consuming-more-server-memory http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-gb/library/ms178067.aspx SQL Server is designed to use all the memory on the server by default. The reason for this is that SQL Server cache the data in the database in RAM so that it can access the data faster than it could if it needed to read the data from the disk every time a user needed it. If we needed to go to the disks every time that SQL Server needed the same data over and over the disk IO requirements would be insanely high. So if you want to fix the memory, then this step can be followed: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms191144%28v=sql.105%29.aspx

SharePoint 2013 – error – removing SQL Server – wss_administration reference Symptoms: When you try to remove a not used SQL Server from SharePoint in the Central admin: An object in the SharePoint administrative framework, "SPDatabaseServiceInstance Name= could not be deleted because other objects depend on it. Update all of these dependants to point to null or different objects and retry this operation. The dependant objects are as follows: SPWebService Name=WSS_Administration Workaround: You have switched to a new SQL server but SharePoint kept a reference. You can use an existing correct Web application to update Central admin with the good one: $centralAdmin =Get-SPWebApplication -IncludeCentralAdministration | ? { $_ .DisplayName  -match ‘ SharePoint Central Administration’ } $goodExample =Get-SPWebApplication -identity ‘ http://mygoodwebapp’ $centralAdmin .Parent.DefaultDatabaseInstance = $goodExample .Parent.DefaultDatabaseInstance $centralAdmin .Parent

In the last few days, we have not only been trying ourselves with different approaches, but also posted this query with Microsoft folks, Technet Forums and even LinkedIn SharePoint Groups and finally, it is clear that SharePoint Foundation 2013 Search is not scalable and thus you cannot have them spread over multiple servers - which is what we are trying to do here. (This has been confirmed by MS Support as well) Refer the below links: https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/f175968d-9195-4d7f-a359-869e5983b845/sharepoint-foundation-2013-search-configuration-issue-2-app-servers-and-2-frontend-servers?forum=sharepointsearch https://www.linkedin.com/groupItem?gid=58750&type=member&view=&commentID=discussion%3A5949737753292922880%3Agroup%3A58750&item=5949737753292922880&trk=hb_ntf_COMMENTED_ON_GROUP_DISCUSSION_YOU_CREATED http://www.myfatblog.co.uk/index.php/2012/10/search-in-sharepoint-2013-foundation-versus-full-blown-server/ The abov

Thought of sharing announcements related to . N et product which happened at the connect Conference which is a Microsoft Developer Event. 1 ) Microsoft announced that .NET will go open source – this means developers can write .NET applications that can now run on Linux and OS X, just like Java. There is already an open source initiative called Project Mono ( http://www.mono-project.com/ ) to do this, and Microsoft is working with Xamarin ( http://xamarin.com/ ), the company behind Project Mono to make the open source transition. This will not happen all at once, but will be done gradually. Nevertheless, it’s a big change, so read more about it from the following links: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/somasegar/archive/2014/11/12/opening-up-visual-studio-and-net-to-every-developer-any-application-net-server-core-open-source-and-cross-platform-visual-studio-community-2013-and-preview-of-visual-studio-2015-and-net-2015.aspx http://www.zdnet.com/microsoft-to-open-source-more-of-net-

10 things great bosses do right! "A great boss shows grace under pressure." "A great boss never lets the pressures he faces percolate down to the team." "A great boss grooms his juniors." 1. Great bosses create a great work culture Bosses are custodians; they are the ones responsible for people quitting or staying back. Great bosses can be anti-attrition glues and it is important to groom bosses just as it is important to train their subordinates. A great boss is one who cultivates a great work culture.
