Could not redo log record - DB is SUSPECT Mode

We recently faced this issue after the maintenance window. The user database went to suspect mode and it was unable to bring online due to below error.
This case we rebuilt the logfile, to bring the DB online.

ERROR
Could not redo log record (1327929:29486:115), for transaction ID (1:1223281085), on page (1:1333024), database 'TestDB2 ' (database ID 8). Page: LSN = (1327558:113348:307), type = 2. Log: OpCode = 5, context 29, PrevPageLSN: (1327929:29486:18). Restore from a backup of the database, or repair the database.

Msg 3313, Level 21, State 2, Line 1

This case has only below options:

1. Restore the DB from the backup strategy.
2. Try DBCC REPAIR with REPAIR_FAST | REPAIR_REBUILD (No Data Loss)
3.  Final is REPAIR_ALLOW_DATA_LOSS

Alternate Solution:
===================

ALTER DATABASE TestDB2 REBUILD LOG ON (NAME=TestDB2_Log, FILENAME='D:\SQLLog\TestDB2_Log.ldf')
dbcc checkdb (testdb2)
ALTER DATABASE testdb2 SET MULTI_USER

Note: This approach might lead to data loss. Make sure we have enough backups in place.

Login failed. The login is from an untrusted domain and cannot be used with Windows authentication. (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 18452)

Solution :

1. Go to  C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc
2. Open HOSTS File in notepad (Run as Admin)
3. Add below lines:

127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.0.1 mycomputername -- this will be computer name

4. Save and close the notepad.
5. Connect SQL Server

Upgrades from Earlier Versions to SQL Server 2014

We can find the supported upgrades to SQL Server 2014 from the below link:

https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms143393.aspx

SSRS Upgrade: 

• Upgrade: You upgrade the Reporting Services components on the servers and instances where they are currently installed. This is commonly called an “in place” upgrade. In-place upgrade is not supported from one mode of Reporting Services server to another. For example, you cannot upgrade a Native Mode report server to a SharePoint mode report server. You can migrate your report items from one mode to another. For more information, see the ‘Native to SharePoint Migration’ section later in this document.
  
• Migrate: You install and configure a new SharePoint environment, copy your report items and resources to the new environment, and configure the new environment to use existing content. A lower level form of migration is to copy the Reporting Services databases, configuration files, and if you are using SharePoint mode, the SharePoint content databases.
