I'm trying to find a way to install and configure a mariadb server on a blank windows 10 machine without the user having to interact with the setup besides providing the privilige windows might ask for.
The solution would be some kind of single runnable file, that does both install a maria db server and configure all necessary default values, like username, password and port number etc.
What would be a recommend approach for that scenario?

Can anyone explain to me, in the simplest possible terms, whether it is possible to create/edit and host a SQL database locally on my PC?
I've so far managed to run PHP locally using XAMPP, but have been at a loss as to how I could implement SQL locally too.
For example, can I download phpmyadmin directly to my PC and use it to implement database features on my website without having to be connected to the internet?
It's possible. And you don't need to download any other software.
Fire up XAMPP and start the Apache and MySQL servers then go to your browser and enter http://localhost/phpmyadmin.
Once your MySQL server is up, you can easily access it from applications running locally with the necessary configuration (i.e host, username, password, port etc).
I want to ask if I can use NAS to store the main database like for example Firebird or MySQL and access this database from network ? if so how to install the database server software ?
Sure!
What's your nas model?
For example in my Synology i can enable web server and install mysql + phpmyadmin just in few clicks.
I just need to access in the admin panel and using the PacketManager start installing the software.
I'm sure it's possible to do the same with Qnap.
A "NAS" is simply Network Attached Storage. A personal example is the Western Digital My Cloud. You can use it to host the data files themselves, but no software can be installed.
There are networked solutions that are basically mini servers. They have slimmed down versions of a Linux build that run web servers, database servers and the like. I do not have any examples to provide since I do not have the need for one, but I know they are out there from prior research.
To learn about what a NAS is, you can check out the Wikipedia article.
NAS is basically just storage, it doesn't really run a useful OS. You need a server to host MySQL or similar DB. You can install MySQL on a Windows, Mac or Linux OS, the DB file(s) would reside on those machines and the MySQL services would respond to API requests appropriately. Here are some links to installing MySQL:

I am new to Server and VM things. I recently have the following scenario:
I have 1 physical server that has server 2012 R2 installed on it.
My task is to setup two windows 7 VM environment by hyper-v for testing.
Since there are more than two people accessing the VMs in the future. I know the existing user is kicked when another user login to the VM. Is there any ways to configure this such that both users can access without being kicked? (without violating the terms)
I heard about remote desktop service and did some research on it. However, I do not know if it would fit on this scenario. If it fits, can you explain how it will work?
If none of that work, I am thinking my last plan will be setting up more VMs for the group to use.
Thanks
You will have to first add Hyper-v role in your server from server manager.
Since you are planning to add two virtual machines, you must assign 2 static IPs to each of the VMs.
To run concurrent two RDPs in windows 7, you can install this patch in your VM that has windows 7 OS. Once you have added the patch restart the VM and you will be able to access VM with 2 different user concurrently.
I installed Windows Server 2008 and SQL Server 2008 R2, after joining to domain I changed computer name and mistakenly I deleted the administrators group from SQL Server login users and now I am not able to login.
Any suggestion?
I know this is old but I just used the Gui instead.
Step 1. Start SSMS
Step 2. Select the server name drop down and click browse more.
step 3. select local or network tab based where the server is and expand Database engine and select the correct computer name\sql server
Follow the steps in this article: http://v-consult.be/2011/05/26/recover-sa-password-microsoft-sql-server-2008-r2/
Basically you have to modify the SQL Server Service settings so that it starts in admin mode. This will only allow one connection to it. Once you start it up you can create a new sysadmin user that you can use from then on.
Also I do know that you need to run certain scripts on a SQL Server if you change the hostname of the server. You should find them if you google them.
If you have mixed mode authentication enabled on the SQL Server instance, you can login using the sa account, with the password that you specified during installation.
If you have only Windows authentication enabled, I'm not sure. You could try running setup again and seeing if it will let you change the authentication mode, but somehow I doubt that it will let you do anything without first connecting to the instance with your Windows identity.
As a last resort, you could try uninstalling and re-installing the SQL Server instance, then re-attaching all your databases.
Add the new name of the computer and you should be able to login again..
I've been following Microsoft's guide for installing a dev environment on Windows 7:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee554869.aspx
In order for it to not run like a dog I've created a SQL Server 2008 instance on our database server specifically for this dev machine. The article does mention that you might be wanting to use an external database in regard to making sure the database cumulative update is installed. It doesn't make any other mention of configuring it to use a external database. I was hoping that the configuration wizard would then prompt about which database to use but annoyingly it just set-up the configuration database locally.
How do I go about installing SharePoint on a dev environment with an external database, and will I need to reformat this machine and do it all again?
Well, this depends on what your environment looks like. For instance, is this machine part of a domain?
If so, it should be as simple as selecting "Server Farm Install", or something like that when you did the binaries installation. Then, when you run Products and Configuration Wizard, it will ask you for DB info. Note: if you are doing this, I would recommend you to be part of the 'sa' role on the database server as you will be creating databases.
If you are not part of a domain, it gets a little trickier, but not too bad. Check out this article.

You can always give this a whirl. This is the method we use to keep the DB guys from screaming. It also allows us to give our databases nice names.
