We regularly deploy our product to client's sites and install a named instance of SQL Server 2005 and Reporting Services on their Windows Server. We use the instance name "lgs" during SQL setup and it automatically ensures we have a http://server/Reports$lgs and http://server/ReportServer$lgs to work with.
A recent deployment had some trouble with their OS and we have needed to reinstall the Reporting Services component of SQL. After reinstalling, the virtual directories for Reports$lgs and ReportServer$lgs are gone. I have used the Reporting Services Configuration tool to create new virtual directories but when I enter Reports$lgs or ReportServer$lgs as the names I get an error. The error says that the virtual directories cannot
be created due to illegal characters in the names.
How can I create the same virtual dirs that would have normally been created during initial installation?
I Installed SQL server 2005, installation completed with out any warnings. but when trying to configure reporting services it is not configured and throwing error msg as create virtual directory.
and the error msg looks like
" ReportServicesConfigUI.WMIProvider.WMIProviderException: The virtual directory specified is not valid. Make sure the specified name is not too long and doesn't contain illegal characters. (example: ;)
at ReportServicesConfigUI.WMIProvider.RSReportServerAdmin.CreateVirtualDirectory(String virtualDirectory, String path) "
I've never had to do this, but when I downloaded the Web Workflow Approvals Starter Kit, it requested that I install the database into a User Instance of .SQLEXPRESS.
Now the problem is, I've installed it onto a default instance, so I was wondering whether you can create a named instance on top of a default instance... and if so, how would you do that?
I did install SQL-server developer edition. During the installation it asked me the name of de instance. I let the installation create the default Named instance.
Now I want to add an instance with a new name. What is the best way to do this? Is this the same as creating a Notification service?
If i initially installed SQL Server 2005 Developer Edition using the "default instance", how do i create an additional (new) SQL Server 2005 (90) "named instance" without reinstalling SQL Server 2005?
I have written an installer that creates an MS SQL Database, creates the necessary data tables and then imports the data into the data tables. All this works fine. I now need to copy the web pages to a directory on the users machine and then make the chosen directory a virtual directory so the user can call the pages in the usual way (http://localhost/mytestsite/index.html)
Would anyone know how to create a virtual directory using dos command line parameters. I have seen something using "IIsVdir.vbs" but I do not have this script file.
I am trying to configure the Report Manager Virtual Directory but cannot do it. In the Configure Report Server screen, the option is greyed out (there is a tick next to it to say that it has been configured, but this is greyed out too)!
Im getting the message error "The page cannot be found", while trying to access the Report Manager throught its virtual directory. Otherwise the Report Server url access works fine and both virtual directories have the same configuration
Any suggestion ?!?!
Reporting Services is running on Windows Server 2003
In SQL2K you could implement web virtual directory (using IIS) that allowed you to query a stored procedure from any HTTP browser (e.g. IE, Netscape, Opera, ...) from anywhere in the world.
would return a HTML page of information as defined in Display_Info stored procedure. This was very useful but a little slow due to IIS overhead!
ENDPOINT & http.sys allow access SQL2005 without IIS which should be faster (?). Hence I have been trying to configure ENDPOINT to do something similar without success. Furthermore there is little information on what you can do with the "FOR TSQL" option and how to use it.
PS I don't want to use SOAP as the client will be a web browser not an apps.
I've two instances(Default, Named[dynamicsFINANCE]) running on SQL server 2014. However, when I try to connect to named instance say (dynamicsFINANCE) using SQL authentication from local SSMS, I get below error message:
A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server. The server was not found or was not accessible. Verify that the instance name is correct and that SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections. (provider: SQL Network Interfaces, error: 26 - Error Locating Server/Instance Specified) (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: -1)
I assigned a static port number to the named instance [dynamicsFINANCE] 1450. I also setup the firewall rule to allow access to Port 1450.
I have a 3 node cluster on which I have installed SSAS as it's own insntance. I have created this as a named instance and can connect to it by serverinstance if I'm on the server itself. However from my desktop I get the error saying instance was not found on server name.
I have defined an alternate port and setup firewall rules and can connect via server:port but not serverinstance. Prior to making this change SSAS was running on default port of 2383 and I could connect just by servername.
I have read many articles for previous versions saying that clustered SSAS will always use 2383 and that you must connect just using servername. However and this is were it gets strange. I have a 2 node UAT cluster with SSAS setup exactly the same way I've described above and I can connect from my desktop as serverinstance.
Should I be able to connect as serverinstances for a named clustered instance in 2012 ?
Hi, I have a problem with SQL Server 2005 Reporting Service. I installed Reporting Service in my machine. When I was trying to configure the Reporting Service, Report Manager Virtual Directory got disabled. I need to enable this Report Manager Virtual directory. I can see the disabled link for Report Manager Virtual Directory and it shows the error: Report Manager Virtual Directory is not configurable for the current mode. Kindly help me out of this problem. Thanks Subhendu

Hi, I have a task in hand to migrate (upgrade) from SQL2K named instance to SQL2K5 default instance. There are many intranet applications touching current SQL2K. I would like to perform this upgrade such that I don't have to touch any application code - meaning I don't have to change the connectionstring to point to new Default instance. How can I achieve this?
So, in otherwords, here is what I want to achieve:
Current Server: SQL2K: SERVER_AINSTANCE_A (named instance)
If I have both default, I could achive this by setting up DNS alias after migration done so that any call for SERVER_A would point to SERVER_B. But in my case, I don't have SERVER_A, I have named instance. Is there any solution?
I am trying to set up a Named Instance of SQL 2000 on the same machine that has a default instance of SQL 7.0. The setup always completes and I am able to register the Named Instance of the SQL Server with which it was installed on. However, when I try to connect the users to the database, with both windows and SQL authentication, I receive a SQL server not found error. I have tried an alias setup as well as physically specifying the port number in settup up an ODBC connection. Has anyone ran into similar problems? Also, has anyone been able to successfully complete the process as mentioned above?
I have a server with sql server 2005 installed as the default instance -- I have a piece of software that needs SQL2000 to be the default instance. Is there a way other than install new sql2005 named instance and move databases to rename my SQL2005 instance from <machinename> to <machinename>sql05 for example?
I have some problem about Reporting Service integrated for SharePoint 2007.
At first, I created 1 user named "User1" under "Domain1". User1 has role "SharePointAdmin" Group and Local Admin Group.
Then I created application pool named "RSAppPool". Its identy was "Domain1User1".
After that, I install Reporting Service and SP2.
Then I config Reporting Service to Integrated Sharepoint Mode below.
Report Server Directory Setting: "ReportServer" in "Default Web Site".
Window Service Identity: Service Account : "Domain1User1" (Windows Accout)
Web Service Identity: Report Server: "RSAppPool" (that created above) Report Manager: Empty
Database Setup: Database name: Database1 (Server Mode: SharePoint Integrated) Credential Type : Windows Credentials Account Name: Domain1User1
After configuration, I reset IIS and test browse to http://servername/ReportServer/ , then there is a Windows Login dialog.
I enter "Domain1User1" and User1's password. But User1 cannot right to access to "ReportServer" virtual directory.
This is error message

I installed SQL Server 2005 recently on a cluster. I didn't go for the default instance and instead I named the instance option. Now I would like to migrate everything from the named instance to the default instance, which I haven't yet installed.
Is this an easy process? What about the logins and the maintenance plans and jobs? Is there anything else I need to be aware of?
There was a 2008 SSRS service running on server "abc".
I have a .Net UI that uses the wsdl at [URL] ....
They deployed SSRS 2012 service on a new server "xyz".
DNS points abc to xyz. Nslookup looks right shows both xyz and abc alias to the same IP.
when I try to go to [URL] .... it redirects to xyz as expected for the host name but the HTTP GET /ReportServer is appended with GET /Reports/ReportServer which doesn't exist and I get an 404 error.
I have no admin rights to see anything and I have no idea if it was an inplace upgrade or a new server. I assume it's new since the actual server name changed in nslookup. Why would it append the default virtual directory when it makes the hop to server "xyz"?

I have a an asp.net application running under IIS. this application is using two folders, the virtual directory under C:Inetpubwwwroot and the application phisical folder at C:. I want to manage this applications .mdf database using microsoft sql server management studio express(iam running sql express with advanced services) which means i have to attach the database to Ms sql server managemet studio express tool. What i dont know is if i should attach the .mdf file in the physical folder's App_Data folder at C:myapplicationFolderApp_data or the .mdf file in the virtual directory under C:InetpubwwwrootMyapplicationFolderApp_Data I dont know which of the two i should attach. Where exactly is the running database, the .mdf file in the physical folder or the .mdf file in the virtual directory under wwwroot.

If yes..How can I do it?
Thanks in advance I Hope someone from Microsoft or MVPs will help me.
if this is not the corrcet forum...please point me the correct one
The box I am trying to connect to is running two instances of SQL Server. There is a SQL Server 2005 instance which is the default. There is a SQL Server 2000 instance which is named 'SQLSERVER'. I can connect to the SQL Server 2000 instance no problem:<add key="ConnectionString" value="server=MYPCSQLSERVER;database=mydatabase;user id=****;password=****" /> However, I am having trouble connecting to the Default SQL Server 2005 instance. I have tried: <add key="ConnectionString" value="server=MYPC;database=mydatabase;user id=****;password=****" /> but it doesn't work. I have tried explicitly setting SQL Server 2005 to use port 1434 (as SQL Server 2000 is running on port 1433), and then used: <add key="ConnectionString" value="server=MYPC,1434;database=mydatabase;user id=****;password=****" /> but this doesn't work either.
Am I mssing something here? Any help much appreciated Thanks...
If you were asked to install SQL 2005 on a machine, would u install a default instance or a named one? And why would u choose one over the other?? Also, r there any issues with using a default instance?
Hi, I hope someone can help me! I changed the TCP port that the default instance of SQL 2005 x64 SP1 is listening on and now SQL server won't start as the port is being used - no problem I say to myself, I'll just change it again, however I can't!
My problem is that I can not change the TCP Port back again using Configuration Manager - no matter what values I put in, after a restart of the instance it comes up with this in the IP Addresses tab for TCP/IP Properties and SQL Server won't start:
IP1 Active Yes Enabled No IP Address aaa.bbb.ccc.111 TCP Dynamic Ports TCP Port 0
IP2 Active Yes Enabled No IP Address aaa.bbb.ccc.222 TCP Dynamic Ports TCP Port 0
IP3 Active Yes Enabled No IP Address aaa.bbb.ccc.333 TCP Dynamic Ports TCP Port 0
IP4 Active Yes Enabled No IP Address 10.1.1.1 TCP Dynamic Ports TCP Port 0
IP5 Active Yes Enabled No IP Address 127.0.0.1 TCP Dynamic Ports TCP Port 0
IPALL TCP Dynamic Ports 2020 TCP Port 2020
Interestingly, the ip address that the server is listening on aaa.bbb.ccc.444 is not reported in the list of IP addresses in the configuration manager for this instance, yet it is when I view the available IP addresses for the other two instances - is this significant?
I have tried failing to the other node, changing it there, changing it at the console and also while logged onto the the virtual machine remote desktop, rebooting both nodes, etc, etc. There are two other instances on this cluster that are still working fine but I hvae not attempted to change the TCP ports they listen on.
I used the same method to change this default instance as I did for a named instance on a similarly configured cluster and it worked fine. How to fix this?

We have an application that requires write settings to reportserver virtual directory for the IUSR account when anonymous is turned on during the install. Once the install is complete, we lock down the IUSR account so that it only has browse access to the virtual directory when enabling anonymous access.
We automate the uninstall and install of our daily builds and I'm trying to figure out if I can automated this process somehow either through command line utility or in vbs.
I am running SQL2k SP3 with a default instance. I have recently added a second, named instance. When I try to connect to the named instance through Enterprise manager, it often times out. I never get a timeout accessing the default instance. Is there something I missed when setting up the second instance that is causing this access delay?
Hi, all. To use Named instance on the same machine, Do I need to check any license issue? My Company has one server license and wants to use Named instance. thank you..
