My organization supports both SQL 7 and SQL 2K. Therefore I have the Enterprise Manager
for SQL 2K on my desktop (it accesses both SQL 7 & SQL 2K, but the SQL 7 EM won't access
both).
I installed the SQL 7 desktop edition on my NT 4 (SP 6) workstation, but only the server (not
client connectivity or client tools).
When I attempt to perform a new server registration using EM (with the desktop server running),
I get the following message:
"SQL Server does not exist or access is denied"
I am attempting to logon as "sa" with a blank password since this will be my very first access of
the installed DB.
Startup of server specifies that the "local system" account be used. Server starts up fine as best
as I can tell.
For client connectivity I have both TCP and NAMED PIPES available.
Any help would be very much appreciated!!!!
Thanks Gary Andrews

P.S.
Where blank passwords are used, do I enter a single space or not enter anything
and just press enter?

I'm running Windows Xp Pro With SQL 2005 Dev edition with Adventure Works sample db installed. I am the local administrator on my desktop, the services are up and running and I specified local connections only since this is the DEV edition of SQL05.
When I try either one of these connection strings: Data source=(SQLDEV05); initial catalog=AdventureWorks or Data source=(local); initial catalog=AdventureWorks.
I receive this error message:

I€™ve developed a BI system using the SQL Server 2005 Developer€™s Edition.
SSAS, SSIS and SSRS have been added to a SQL Server 2005 Standard Edition Server in preparation for delivering the developed database to this live environment.
So I am able to connect directly to the Database Engine, SSAS, SSIS and SSRS successfully from the actual SQL Server 2005 Standard Edition box which is sat on a Windows 2003 Server operating system.
However when I launch SQL Server Management Studio from a desk top PC which is connected to the SQL Server Standard Edition box I can€™t connect to either SSIS or SSRS, however I can connect to the Database Engine and it also seems that I can connect to SSAS OK.
I am using Windows Authentication where the I used a SQL Server account which exists with €śsysadmin€? permissions and this SQL Server account has the same login name as the Windows Server 2003 desktop login.

Is it necessary to have a MS Loopback Adaptor to install SQL Server desptop edition at my home ? ( Otherwise i am unable to connect to the server from the EM ) Thanks, Deepak.
I have installed Sql 7.0 desktop edition on Win 98 with IE5 and am having a problem starting the Sql server. It auto registered the server under my machine name. It was returning a network connection error so I deleted it and tried to add one with the name (local). Enterprise Manager then returned an error saying one was already registered under that name.
Is it possible to install SQL 2000 desktop without installing a databaseserver? I need to have the interface to access my database servers, butdon't want the overhead of a server and the service on my laptop.Possible?ThanksDoug
I have read all posts in this forum, but the answers for the main questions are still not completely clear for me. My scenario is smilar than other described cases.
I would like to send a large amount of data to a Windows CE device which runs SQL Server Mobile Edition 2005. Replication is not possible, cause the desktop size of software sometimes uses Oracle or earlier versions of MSSQL Server (for e.g. MSSQL 7.0).
For syncrhonizing data we have two possibilities:
1. sending the data in some format (csv, xml, etc...) to the Windows CE device, parse this file and insert the data into a database, the speed of this is unacceptable, so if it is possible I wouldn't like to use this method
2. Create the SDF file on desktop side, it would be very fast, because it makes unnecessary the post processing on a slow Windows CE device. So please give me a short (YES / NO is completely enough) answer to this: is there any *LEGAL* way to create an SDF file for SQL Server Mobile Edition without buying VS2005 or MSSQL2005 licenses for the desktop computer?
Thx for any help in advance. If the question was answered clear earlier, sorry for wasting time. I think a lot of us struggling with this problem.
Is it possible to create a .SDF file at the develop machine?I want to write an exe which creates a sdf.So, my customer will be able to create a sdf and import this sdf to the device.
I want to jumpstart my learning of SQL Server so I downloaded the Express edition onto my desktop in the office and also onto my laptop. I usually connect the two machines (through a LAN) to update whatever I was able to do at home while in the office.
What should I do in order to view or edit whatever I started on the laptop from the desktop? Would the databases I create on one be accessible through the other machine for editing and the likes?
I have a very simple application that is desktop and windows mobile. I am just starting work on it so the options are wide open for now. My goal is a simple database that will sync columns on both sides.
The SQL Compact Edition database seems like the perfect database to use for this application.
The only way I currently know of to sync a PDA database to the desktop, however, is to use IIS and SQL server on the desktop side and then use the ADO.NET sync stuff.
I don't want to have to set up IIS and SQL server on my client's computers. It will be a mass market product and that is just inviting a ton of support that I don't want to have to deal with. The application is too simple and cheap for that.
I know I can go the old fasion ActiveSync component route, but that is such a pain. I could also use a 3rd party solution, but again, too expensive for this application.
My question is whether anyone knows of a simple solution.
Is there any way in SQLCE to query a remote database and do updates to it? Could the desktop application get access to the PDA SQLCE database or the other way around?
Any help would be great. I have the experience to write an ActiveSync component myself. That is not the problem. It is just such a pain and it seems like in today's day and age I shouldn't have to.
Everybody knows that Upgrade.exe is not a win32 application.
Since it is now possible to connect SQL CE 3.1 database with Framework 2.0 and SQL CE 3.1, I am wondering if someone is aware of a method to convert SQL CE 2.0 database to SQL CE 3.0 with Desktop Framework ?
(--> I have a lot of SQL CE 2.0 databases where I would like to connect avoiding use of a PDA. In order to do that, I need to convert all of them)
I want to know if there is Desktop edition for SQL 2000 Server and if so does it comes bundled on the same CD like it did for MSS 7.0.Also is there a limit to the size of DB's that can be build with it. Thanks a Bunch
What type of licence do I need to run Desktop Edition of SQL 7.0. Is there such a thing as desktop license. How much Does it approximately cost. Thanks
How do I upgrade my local sql server 7 to sql 2000 ? Do I just put in the sql server 2000 CD and run it or is there an upgrade CD ? I have lots of stuff on my sql 7 and don't want to lose it.
my application has a good amount of data that is specific to each company (where there is only one user). i am currently setting it up as a access project, but was wondering about another route. to store the local data would there be an advantage to setting it up as a access project, and use the sql server desktop engine for the data, or should i stick with mdb tables?
I connect to a compute via Remote Desktop Connection that is running SQL Server 2003. That part works. However, once I'm connected, and running SQL Server, I cannot see my user name in SQL, when I use the query, "SELECT user_name as ()". What I see instead is "DBO". Nor does it show me as being in a particlar group. I also cannot see my Windows Authentication remote computer name.
I think it has something to do with using my PC to do the Remote Desktop Connection and then from there, running SQL Server 2003, but am lost on this one.
Can anyone help? I sure would appreciate it! Thanks in advance!

Could the SQL2000 Desktop Engine be bought individually or they onehave to buy the Enerprise version in order to get the Desktop Engine?All we need right now is the Desktop Engine.Thank you very muchmike
Hi, I would create a vb2005 application that allow me to edit a sdf database stored into a pda connected at pc with activesyn directly on my desktop as well as "SQLCE Database View". How can i do it??
I inherited a WinCE.net application that uses SQL Server CE as the database. We use Visual Studio 2003 to write the program. Using the query analyzer on the device is difficult and I would much prefer to do my database views/research on my desktop. I could even copy the SDF over to the desktop, slice and dice it and then return it to the compact unit. But what do I need to have on my desktop so I can view these SDF files? Thanks.
