Answer : JBoss ClassNotFoundException: com.microsoft.sqlserver.jd<wbr />bc.SQLServ<wbr />erDriver

I hope your Classpath Variables are not set and Drivers are not registered as your error says "Failed to register driver for: com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver"

Follow this Microsoft support on how to set Classpath Variables and How to register your Server.
