Hi All,
I recently was required to change the name of my machine, where SQL Server 2005 (Enterprise) was installed. I then tried to open a pre-change database, and SQL Configuration Manager gave me an error saying it "...could not obtain information about Windows NT/user..." Upon further digging, the Properties->Permissions of that particular database is tied to the old computer name. Eveything else seems to have updated to the new name, and I can't seem to figure out a way to change the old reference.
Help!

Hello,
When I try to access a SQL Server report on the localhost that I have deployed, I get a message that "under default settings SQL Server does not allow remote connections." After doing a little bit of searching, I went to the SQL Server Surface Area Connection and changed the server instance to allow for local and remote connections of both TCP/IP and named pipes. I stopped and restarted the service. Even after doing this I still get the same error.
If the Surface Area Configuration can't help out in this situation, what else would need to be modified?
Thanks,

I am trying to change the computer name of a machine running MSDE but I get an error when SQL Server starts. With regular SQL when I change the name of a computer I re-run setup and setup fixes this problem. MSDE can only be installed from unattended mode so I can’t rerun setup and fix the problem.
My question is "How do I change the name of a computer running MSDE with out reinstalling MSDE"
Thanks a lot

Version:Â Microsoft SQL Server 2012 (SP1) - 11.0.3000.0 (X64)Â Standard Edition (64-bit) on Windows NT 6.2 <X64> (Build 9200):
We are using SQLCMD to run DDL script on our product database in below order. That script has below content.
step # 1 - database collation change (case -sensitive) statement as very first statement of the script
step # 2 - Actual DDL SQL statements
step # 3 - database collation change back to original (case insensitive)
When we execute all above 3 steps in single script using SQLCMD on our test_server#1 , it is successful but when same is being implemented on test_ server#2 , it is failing.We ensured that there is no other user accessing the db and setting on both the server are all default/basic. Separating out all 3 steps in 3 different script working fine. This is only problem when we combine them into single script and fire it using SQLCMD. If it is something related to session/transaction then we should hit same issue on our test_server#1 server as well but that is not the case.test_server#1 and test_server#2 has exact same database/data, just two different physical machine & SQL Server instance.
i have stupid problem that had effect my application distripuotion which i think is related either to connection string or something of the security setting of sql server or iis , actually i do not know what to do: the details of the problem is a have multi connection strings in this form :
sqlconnectionPubs = New Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection("Server=SALES-SERVER;Database=NajdiaServiceRequestDta; Asynchronous Processing=true; Integrated Security=True; Trusted_Connection=Yes;")
and the connection works just fine in my computer , even i put the database in the main server and still i can post data from my pc to the main server where my database exist but when i try to post from any other computer in the network it tells me : run time error : computer name could not be obtained.

Hello, me and my friend has set up an SQL, I am wondering if it is possible to access the SQL server from my computer when hosted on his.
thanks
I have not seen this ever on my computer until today...
I start CuteFTP or NetObjects Fusion 8 and I get an installer window popping up saying:
"Please wait while Microsoft configures Microsoft SQL desktop engine"
ZoneAlarm warns me that OSQL.exe is trying to connect to my network.
I let it.
Then ZA warns me that OSQL is trying to connect to the internet.
At this point, if I let it, or deny it, the thing installer (which looks to be half way done) reloads itself and starts over with ZA warning that it's trying to connect locally, then to the internet. Over and over this happens.
It wont let either of my program start until it goes through about 5 or 6 cycles of whatever it's trying to do.
Then it just disappears and my program will load.
If I close either CuteFTP of NetObjects and start them back up, the whole OSQL.exe thing starts again.
I have rebooted and it still does this.
The odd thing is some of the IP addresses it's trying to connect to.
72.14.207.104 - Google
96.6.129.187 - Akamai
207.46.248.249 - Microsoft (ok, that's understandable)
I didn't write the IP address, but it tried to get to Hotwired.com too..
How do I fix this? Why is it doing this?
I'm running XP Pro. P-4 3Ghz 1.5Gb RAM
Thanks for any help!

I am developing an SSIS package in a local computer. I have connection managers defined that link to a SQL Server database. I connect to the database using SQL Server Authentication, a username and a password. When I copy the package files and try to execute them in another computer, the password is lost and I have to edit the package and rewrite the password. How can I move a package between computers and not lose the password?

I don't have any errors to share, but I have a question.
What kind of problems (if any) would I encounter if the computer name where SQL Server 2000 or 2005 was installed included special characters? An example would be FNB_(1).
Hi,
Can someone suggest a good way to move the CSK database from ine instandc of MSDE200 to another on a different PC. I tried exporting using MS Web database administrator which moved the tables but stripped off the defaults and all stored proceedures.
Any better ideas?

Hi Everybody,
I am looking for help on how to proceed. I have only 1 drive that has Win 2000 Prof o/s. I am installing SQL 7. Should I install to the same partition or create a new one for SQL, and are they compatable. I know Win 2k o/s post dates SQL 7. Would SQL 2000 be better? or Win98SE w/SQL 7? The main reason I ask is that I don't want to lose any of the stuff that's on the Win 2k o/s already. Any advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks ! Phil
Do I have to re-install SQL2000 if I change the Win2000 Server name.
Thanks
I have been dealing with an intermittent problem for several months that manifests itself on my computer as well as a customers computer. It is happening so often, upon booting the computer, that I just open and then minimize the Task Manager so that it will be in the Tool Tray and the bargraph will be visible.
From time to time the processor bargraph will "Max out" and when I open Task Manager and click on CPU in the Processes Tab, SQLServr.exe is using 99% of the CPU.
In Enterprise Manager I have set maximum Memory to 25% of the available system memory. I have tried this in both Fixed mode as well as Dynamic mode, no change.
I was told that there was a SQL Server version that was susceptible to a WORM that caused this. I have since upgraded to SQL ver. 8.0.194. I'm not sure of the version that I replaced, but I thought that the previous version was the one that was susceptible to the worm.
Has anyone fought this battle and if so can you offer any experience or advice?
Thanks very much for your help,

I'm having real trouble trying to place another copy of my database on a different computer.
I have developed a database on my main PC. But I want another copy of this same database to reside on my laptop so that I can do work on the move.
So far no luck. I installed SQL Server on the laptop but it won't let me create a database based on an existing database file.
Any ideas guys?

Hello everybody,
I had installed vs 2005 beta 2 and I wanted to install SQL 2005, so I removed all the components which were installed and were beta edition by control panel and by the tool microsoft supply.
I downloaded sql 2005 but when I wanted to install it, the installation showed me an error that I need to remove all the components that are beta and exited.
The control panel show that there is nothing from vs 2005 beta but the tool try to remove 2 things and has errors. With Everest I see that the components of vs 2005 beta are still in my computer and I cannot remove them.
Someone can help me? I have been searching for an answer for 3 months without any success.
Hi,
I have installed SQL SERVER 2005 on my network machine.

I put in the name of my network PC and the SQLEXPRESS .
But connection FAILS.
The Server Name on my Network PC : RCH1SQLEXPRESS
The Full computer name is RCH1
So in my DSN CONFIGURATION PAGE on my machine,
I enetered as RCH1SQLEXPRESS
What am I doing wrong?
I will moving my SQL Server to another server. The plan is to stop SQL Server copy database file to a temp netwokr location, Switch off this server. Configure the new server with the same name and IP, install SQL to the same paths and service pack to the same level (SQL 2000 sp3). Then start and stop the SQL server. Once stop I will then copy the old database file over the new ones.
I know in general this works as I have doen this many times before expect this time round there is a replicaiton database which is new, I am expecting this will work the same but has any one else tried this before?

In SQL 2000 I use to be able to grant a computer account access to a SQL DB by adding that computer account to the SQL Logins using DOMAINCOMPUTERNAME$. I have not been able to do this so far in SQL 2005.
Does anyone know if this is still possible or has this functionality been removed from 2005?
How do I connect to the SQLEXPRESS installed on my computer without network connection (as a standalone computer)?
Thanks.
