I am looking to automate the rollout of the SQL Native client to our workstations. What I would like to do is use our login script to initiate an unattended install on the workstation. I will create the unattended file using the one that comes with SQL Server 2005 as a guide. This seems pretty straightforward.
More importantly, the other task I want to tackle is adding server aliases to the workstations. I am thinking of creating an alias for each of our applications and pushing the changes out by merging a registry key(maybe WMI? I dont know...). This way, should we need to move application databases to a different instance, we can just push an updated list of aliases to the workstations. The actual storage location remains transparent to the applications and users, (ie no configuration changes).
Has anyone done this or have any ideas? Are there any pros/cons that I have not thought of?
I setup SQL 7.0 server on NT Server and SQL 7.0 client on NT workstation. I wrote a VC++ program using ODBC to connect database and set ODBC Data Source Administrator as follow:
- Add a new User DSN - setup name, description, server, of User DSN - enter Login ID and psw - Change the default database to "Test" which I've already built on server (leave other options remain) - didn't change any settings in the next page - Test Data Souce successfully.
But when I run the VC++ program, it comes out an error message like this:
SQL Error State:01000, Native Error Code: 1645, ODBC Error: [Microsoft] [ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]Changed database context to 'Test'. SQL Error State:01000, Native Error Code: 1647, ODBC Error: [Microsoft] [ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]Changed language setting to us_english.
Can anyone tell me what are these error codes means? Are there any settings on the SQL server that I forgot to set?
Could someone please explain to me the client configuration utility in plain English please.
I have VB applications installed on the sales force`s laptops that log onto SQL Server through RAS and an ODBC connection. The client configuration utility is not installed on their machines, but everything works fine. The BOL say that when installing utilities, the user is given the option of selecting the net-library to use. I am not, when installing it on my NT Workstation, or W95 Operating system. The BOL also state that the control panel has an entry to allow selecting which protocol to use. I cannot see it
Who needs the client configuration utility installed, obviously not the clients, is it just the people who want enterprise manager on their desktops ?
I am completely confused by this application This is the one area of SQL Server where I am lost, help !
Maybe someone can help mewith this... Im running NT 4 SP5 on a compaq proliant 3000 server. Trying to create a DSN to connect with my remote SQL 7.0 server. When I click on the client configuration button (to set to TCPIP sockets), nothing happens. So now all DSN's default to named pipes...
I had SQLServer 7 installed when my machine (using Windows 98)was hit by a virus. This necessitated running the original setup disk. When I did this, I found a number of existing files had been deleted (history files for a credit card program, Windows dial-up connections ) including some needed for the SQLServer. I eventually uninstalled SQLServer and attempted to reinstall it. When I do, I get a message saying that this disk can only install the client version. I originally installed it from this disk so why can't I install it again?
When installing the RTM version of SQL Server 7.0 it only lets me install the client tools. It will not let me install the Enterprise edition or Standard edition. Has anyone else run into this problem.
Can I installed Enterprise Manager from my workstation PC or any ways to remotely access the Enterprise Manager(SQL Server 7.0) at the server end and other utilities. I have installed the client network utility but do not know how to configure.
I've installed SQL SERVER 7.0(Standard version with 5 clients)on the WINNT 4.0 server.
Anyone knows where to source out for SQLSERVER7.0 RESOURCE KIT?
Hi! Is there a separate set of files in the installation CD of MS SQL Server 7 which can be used to install a SQL Server Client installation? Thanks in advance! Bye!
If I look under SQL native client configuration | Client protocols, I have no entries and no ability to look at the properties of SQL Native client Configuration. Something is missing which I think is related to an error when connecting to my local server.
sqlcmd -E -S .devmain, 1064
I get error :
Encryption not support sqlcmd: Error: microsoft SQL native Client : Client unable to establish connection
An error has occurred while establish a connection to the server. When connecting to SQL Server 2005, this failure may be caused by the fact that under the default settings SQL Server does not allow remote connections..
In comparison to other machines here at work, it appears my remote connections are configured. But I have no Client Protocols under sql native client configuration, how can I get them in there?
I was trying to install SQL Server 2005 on Windows 2003 Server and it failed on installing one of the components "SQL native Client",
the Error message is
The Installation Package of the Product Microsoft SQL Server Native Client cana not be found. Try the Installation again using the Valid copy of the installtion package "sqlncli.msi"
I'm trying to install SQL Server 2000 client tools on an XP workstation.MSDE already exists on the workstation. During the install I am neverprompted for a location to install to. I want to install to my D drive. Theinstall defaults to my C drive.Any thoughts?
Hi,I'm looking for stand alone installation for SQL server Client tools,or the files required for creating such an installation. I would liketo include this installation as part of the setup for my ownSQL-dependant app. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Iam a new bee to sql server.I have Installed sql server 2005 ( trail software ) in my Server.I like to install sql server 2005 clinet in another system. Where can i download sql server 2005 client??
My requirement is , i should access sql server database from my client...
I am accessing a SQL2005 Express SP1 Server via TCP/IP (all machines fully up to date with windows update). For ease of configuration the Server IP is mapped to an Alias in Native Client Configuration Manager. On the Client Force Protocol Encryption is set to Yes and Trust Server Certificate is set to No. The clients are accessing the DB via SQL 2005 Management studio express and Ms Access 2003 (an access adp front end to the sql database).
As a test i turned off force encryption on the server. A Network trace shows no encryption! Turning on force encryption on the server corrects this.
As a further test I configured the server with a certificate the client doesn't trust. No error is generated by the un-trusted certificate! The only way to generate the certificate error is to enable encryption in the connection properties of each application. Why isn't the Native Client Configuration Manager utility enforcing this???
This brings me on to a second (off-topic problem). In my access adp file, if I enable €śuse encryption for data€? advanced option under the database connection dialog all works as expected (encryption + certificate verification). However, I am programmatically updating the connection in VBA
Application.CurrentProject.OpenConnection "Provider=SQLOLEDB.1;Data Source=AliasName;Use Encryption for Data=True;..."
If I do this no encryption is enabled!!! Access seems to just ignore the encryption statement.
Has anybody got any ideas as to why either of these issues are occurring or if there are any workarounds?

I've been doing all I could think of: reinstall the whole SQL server and its services; stop and restart SQL server service and Reporting service.
It could be my SQL version has a problem...not sure....
I could not think of anything else.
If you have any thoughts about it, please do reply.
Any suggestion is highly appreciated. Thank you...
I am using SQL Server configuration indirectly with the connection to it configured in an XML configuration file with the location of the XML file and the connections all being different between development and production. I deploy to the file system using the SSIS Deployment Manifest/Package Installation Wizard.
It seems that sometimes the path to the XML config file is updated in the deployed packages and sometimes it is not.
When the path is updated, all connection strings (as displayed in the Connection Managers section of the Execute Package Utility) are displaying the new values as well.
When it is not, it looks for the XML file in the development location and since it cannot find it all configurations still point to the development connections.
Does anyone know of any conditions when the location of the XML config does not get updated and when it doesn't?
Say I inherit from an undocumented installation of SQL server. Is there a way to extract all features, configurations and such to apply them on a different installation?For instance, if the setup was executed multiple times, can I generate a configuration.ini file contains the culmination of every setup executed?
I need to install the 'MSSQL 2005 Express Client' on a computer that will be hosting a copy of an MSSQL 2005 Standard Edition database. Question: Should I install both the DataBase Services feature and the Client Components feature?
i have a windows 2003 server up and running and a client workstation connected via a crossoever cable. they both can ping each other.
my next step, i would like to replicate a "real world" scenario where i have the database engine and the sample databases on the server and i would like to be able to write to and from the cleint to main database which is going to be on the server.
so my question is, do i need a full install on both machines?
I downloaded SQL Server 2005 from Microsoft's website and tried to install.
First I downloaded and installed filename "dotnetfx.exe" according to the install guide. Installed without any issues.
Then i tried to install filename: "SQLEXPR.exe"- the main SQL Server software- which I also downloaded from Microsoft. I get the error below and here is how i got it.
------------------ ERROR: The SQL Server system configuration Checker cannot be executed due to WMI configuration on the machine YOUR-07NFK16HDF Error:2147749896(0x80041008) --------------------
I clicked on the executable file SQLEXPR.exe, then, after extracting the file,
after the end user license agreement...
the next screen says "installing prerequisites Microsoft SQL server 2005 setup support files, the required components were installed successfully"
then i hit "next", then I see the screen with message (below:
"system configuration check....SQL server setup is scannong your computers configuration". During this process(system configuration check), this is when I get the error ERROR- above. The pop-up error screen has a help icon.
clicking on help gives me the info below and says i must send it across the internet
Link ID = 20476 Product Name = Microsoft SQL server Product version = 9.00.2047.00 message source = setup.rll messageID = 70342
the resulting information says that there is no such information about message source in the knowledge database.
----- pls what is the problem. Is it with the downloaded file(I got it from Microsoft's SQL Server home page)...and pls what is the WMI configuration on my machine?
Im using a Toshiba Satellite Pro Laptop, WIn XP with SP2.
I'm using Virtual PC on my WinXP PC, with two W2K3 environments runnings as Virtual PC guests. My goal is to use these virtual servers to emulate a distributed SSRS environment--prior to setting up a similar environment on physical servers.
One of the W2K3 guests is my database server; the other W2K3 guest is my report server. Just like with a physical SSRS environment, there are many choices that need to be made during the installation and configuration--any one of which, it seems, can prevent the environment from working properly.
Currently, I'm struggling with getting my virtual distributed SSRS environment to work. I could go into the details, but I figured I'd ask a basic question first: Is anyone aware of a book, magazine article, blog, etc. that goes through a distributed SSRS installation--listing the requirements, discussing the choices, considering the implications, etc.?
Off the top of my head, such a walk-through would ideally cover networking configuration issues (Virtual PC or otherwise), Active Directory considerations, Windows Firewall settings between the servers, SSRS-related service account selections, authentication between the servers, etc.
If no one has produced such a walk-through (!), I'd be happy to write one so that others don't have to deal with the same struggles I'm currently dealing with....but I'd need your help.
I contact you because we installed Report Services 2012 and after configuring werb service URL, database, Report Manager URLs... the URLs linked to the Report server + Report Manager does not work.After searching in IIS, it seems that even if virtual directories are created, they are linked to directories which does not exist :- c:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSRS11.ReportReporting Services does contain only LogFiles and RSTempFiles directories.
Is it possible to force the SLQ 2005 Client Components to be installed into a diffrent location other than the default location?

Cool place! Has anyone deployed SQL Express silently using one click and an attached a smart client DB from within the app ... would love to see some of the best practices or horror stories! Just kidding... :) I'm about to deploy a smart client using SQL Express and could use some tips from someone who has been there.
I have got problems with installation of a default instance on SQL Server 2008 on Vista Home Premium. During the step of Server Configuration you should enter UserName and password for each service. I do not know what user name to type. I tried every possible combination but the outcome is always the same - after typing usernames and passwords, installation suddenly fails without casting any exception. I'm not sure if I do something wrong (wrong User Name or Password) or is it a problem with installation application or with OS. Please, help.
I'm trying to bring down a file from the AS/400 to update a SQL database table. Either thru the configuration limitations on the SQL server or ??? I cannot reach the as/400 from my SQL box so I'm running the data down to a Citrix server to a text file via client access. I need to automate the DTS package run on the SQL box to pull the data from the Citrix server over to the SQL box. How do I set up the DTS package to run on a schedule?
How can I import an xml file to SQL 2005 at the same time every night? I will need to create a new database first via the import after that I will be appending to the dataabase. Then I will need to xport the data into a different xml file and upload to my hosting system which is yahoo. All so the original xml file is on the yahoo. store server.
