I have the following connection string in my Windows app that works fine on the Server: workstation id=SCSXP;packet size=4096;integrated security=SSPI;data source=scsxp;persist security info=False;initial catalog=nala But when I use that string on a workstation, it times out. I do have a Network connection to the Server. How should I modify the connection string to work on the workstation? Thanks, Bill
I currently have the following connection string set up in Excel to connect to my SQL db: Â Provider=SQLOLEDB.1;Persist Security Info=True;User ID=XXXXXX;Initial Catalog=YYYYY;Data Source=SQL;Use Procedure for Prepare=1;Auto Translate=True;Packet Size=4096;Workstation ID=PROJMNT1;Use Encryption for Data=False;Tag with column collation when possible=False
 What I would like to do is replace the Workstation ID (which apparently is hard coded?) so that the user's workstation name pulls (%COMPUTERNAME%) so that I can see who is connecting, using what, for how long etc etc.
I recently installed VB6.0 Enterprise on my system. As a part of the installation is the option to install SQL Server 6.5 Development. I elected to install SQL. The install went without any glitches. Upon going into SQL Enterprise Manager, I was asked to register the server where SQL was running. My understanding was that SQL would allow me to register the name of my host system. (This is a stand alone system with VB6.0 and Sql development 6.5 installed - no network attached). SQL will not allow me to register my server's name as the host server. It says that if cannot connect to the named server. SQLSERVER and SQL EXEC services appear to be running without any problems. Anyone have any idea where I should start or what could be disallowing my connection/registeration of my server. Any help would be greatly appreciated..... Thanks... Tom
Developers wanting to access sql server developer edition on XP workstation in small office network (workgroup) will have problems using windows authentication (trusted connection) if the XP "server" machine has "simple file sharing" enabled.
Simple file sharing in XP can be disabled in control panel - folder options.
For this sneak mode to work accounts with the same user and password should exist on both "client" and "server".
Hi all!Is there any function in SQL that I can use to get current date fromworkstation? All functions which I tried (now(), getdate() etc.)returns current date from server but I need date from workstation.Regards,Mirnes Lemes
I would like to know if one can adminiter SQL server remotely using MMC on NT workstation? If so, how do you install the MMC and SQL Enterprise Manager Add-in on NT workstation?
How can I configure my workstation running WIN95 to used the SQL Enterprise Manager from the server end and other utilities. I have installed the client network utility.
Reason to use enterprise manager because I wanted to perform administrative tasks on my workstation and I've installed SQL SERVER 7.0(Standard version with 5 clients)on the WINNT 4.0 server.
I've got VS 2008 Pro installed, as well as SQL Sever 200 (which I must keep installed). When I run the install for SQL Server 2005 developer edition, it continually fails to install
I had a perfectly good working copy of SQL Server 2005 installed. However, at some point I needed the Report Services Designer so I could edit my reports in Visual Studio. I inserted the CD and selected the feature from the list and it installed. Only problem being that it has completely removed my Management Studio and practically every other tool I didnt explicitly checked when installing the RS Designer.
When I tried to run the same Setup again and check everything, it tells me that there is no change between what I have selected and what is installed, which sounds like total bs to me, since my pc doesnt have a management studio etc anymore.
Out of pure misery I decided to remove my entire SQL Server installation, inc Instance, hoping to start anew and achieve the result I wanted with the least amount of frustration. I ended up here and followed it all the way: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/909967
When I started reinstalling, I ran into something new. The installer refuses to let me install anything but the Workstation components, books online and development tools. All the other options are greyed out and not even available.
Someone please help me get my SQL Server back up and running because I'm getting hopeless.
It appears that there is no way to install SQL Server 2005 Workstation Components on an x86 operating system (XP in this case) if you have the x64 install disks (Standard Edition). Can someone verify this?
I am finding it hard to believe that workstation components for a standard Windows client environment are not distributed with the version of SQL Server that matches Windows 2003 x64.
I am running SQL 7 (SP3) on a 2000 Server. When I configure the server as part of the Workgroup I have no problems connecting from the workstation. However, if I join the server to our 2000 domain, I cannot connect and/or register the server from the workstation through EM.
Is this a security issue? If so, what are the minimum requirements or what else am I missing. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Hi again, could anyone tell me what to do about this...I'm not a dba but I do need direct access to the sql server such as scheduling new jobs (I can execute them immediately as pkgs or even run them as jobs on my machine, but to schedule I need to go to the server. The NT administrator does not like the idea of anyone else touching his server, so is there any way to circumvent the situation and do the scheduling from my workstation? Someone had mentioned creating an icon on my desktop but I'm not clear on the idea. Thanks a million. I get great help on this website.
I have installed SQL 6.5 client tool on to my workstation. Since then, we have upgraded to SQL 7.0 on our server. I installed SQL 7.0 client tool to my workstation and have been using it. I want to remove SQL 6.5 client tool from my workstation and do not know how. There is no uninstall button in the SQL 6.5 folder nor this program exists in Add/Remove Program in COntrol Panel. Can you help? Thank you.
Could someone please tell me what I have to set at the Server side so that I will be able to STOP and START the SQL Server using Enterprise Manager and `sa` login remotely, say from the workstation.
I have 3 NT Workstations that will not connect to my SMS database using NT Integrated Security. The SQL 6.5 server is set up to use mixed security. The only way to connect to the server is to use a standard sql account. Any ideas? THis happens to all users even administrators.
I have Vista Ultimate (IIS Enabled), SQL Server 2005 Developer Edition (downloaded and ran the SP2 Update), Visual Studio 2008. VS2008 installs no problem. When I install SQL Server 2005, I get an error when it trys to install the last part( Workstation Components, Management Studio, etc). I have tried FULLY, MANUALLY removing all SQL products and registry entries. I have used Windows Installer Cleanup Utility. I have tried Microsoft's recommended way of manually removing SQL Server 2005. If I manually run SqlRun_Tools.msi the error comes up right away.
The error is: "A component that you have specified in the ADD_LOCAL property is already installed. To upgrade the existing component, refer to the template.ini and set the UPGRADE property to the name of the component."
Here's the Setup Error log: http://toby.pastebin.com/f63405e24
This might not be a SQL Server question, might be something else. Ihave a workstation on a LAN that can't connect to the SQL Server. WhenI try to configure a User DSN to connect to it, the server name I wantappears TWICE in the list of possible servers. No matter which one Iselect, it can't get the connection.The workstation also can't connect through EM or QA.We've checked the user's permissions, we've re-installed some serverpacks, re-installed the Client Tools, we've even hunted through theregistry, everything looks OK, but we still can't connect. This is theonly machine on the LAN that can't connect. Everybody else connectsfine.I'm stumped. Any ideas? Anybody ever seen the server name appeartwice like that?-Emily
Hey yall. I'm a DBA in a company where I do NOT have the ability tocontrol who logs into my SQL servers as administrator, so I'm lookingfor a way to uninstall the workstation components WITHOUT completelyuninstalling all of my instances. Does anyone know how to do this?All I can find is the complete removal option in add/remove, and theinstall cd setup doesn't have a remove function that I can find. Anyidea's?The reason for wanting to do this is so that every tom dick and harrythat logs in as administrator doesn't have the ability to just open EMand do what they please. I want to force people to log in fromanother box so I can get tighter control over who can access mydatabases. Any help is awesome, thanks!Joshua Austill
I'm having no success install SSMS on a 32 bit workstation from 64 bit media.
I'm aware from researching that the SSMS is 32 bit, in fact I see it run as a 32 bit app on the server.
However, when i try and install from the 64 bit CD or DVD I get errors such as not a valid Win32 application, or when i tre random msi's guessing as to which is ssms I get "This installation package is not supported by this processor type. Contact yoru product vendor."
I run a Pent D 2.8 on 32 bit XP
Any assisstance on how to install SSMS on a 32 bit workstation from the 64 bit media would be greatly appreciated.
Just getting started using SSRS (SQL Server Reporting Services) 2005 in production and I've got what should be a simple question.
How do I configure a development workstation to be able to develop SSRS reports which will run on a networked server running SQL Server 2005?
Here is my problem... I installed VS2005 (Visual Studio Pro 2005) and SQL Server 2005 workstation components (with SQL Server SP2) on the workstation but the "Business Intelligence Projects", "Business Intelligence Wizards", and "Report Projects" are missing from the New > Project types. How do I get them added?
I can access the network SQL Server and the http://<Server>/Reports from the workstation. On the SQL Server I can develop & deploy reports using BIDS (Business Intelligence Development Studio), on the server. But on the workstation I cannot create a new Report Project nor can I open an existing reporting project (rptproj) or solution. (I get the error that rptproj is not intalled and that I should install the associated program...which is what?)
WORKSTATION:
Windows Vista Business with all the latest updates.
Visual Studio Pro 2005 with SP1 & Vista SP1 Update installed.
SQL Server 2005 Standard with SP2 & Reporting Services installed.
This should be a simple question, but I'm suprised that it is not working after installing what seemed like the appropriate components from the SQL Server 2005 disk.
Any suggestions on how to get the SSRS projects to show up and work in the Visual Studio 2005 on the development workstation?
I€™ve moved my server folder which contains about 10 dtsx and its ADO .net connection as well as OLEDB into my folder workstation. Then, when I€™m gonna to open them appears this error:
Error 1 Error loading M_HAC_Modelo198_CECA.dtsx: Failed to decrypt protected XML node "DTS:Password" with error 0x8009000B "Clave no válida para utilizar en el estado especificado.". You may not be authorized to access this information. This error occurs when there is a cryptographic error. Verify that the correct key is available. c:ssishacienda_anualM_HAC_Modelo198_CECA.dtsx 1 1
Translate into english: "Clave no válida para utilizar en el estado especificado" = Invalid key for to use in the specified state (more or less)
What really happen? Well, I wrote these packages using a domain user (belong to Administrators group in Active Directory) via Terminal Server and now I want to modify them by mean my domain user (I already have got installed sql25k client tools and the stuff required)
I thouht that these connections were saved in the same folder where dtsx, dtsproj, etc..
Solution? Create them again? I hope that it will be a piece of cake otherwise...
I cannot install management studio on workstation (development machine).
I have removed both instances of SQL Express (one installed with VS2005, the other with Office Business Tools). Have ensured all SQL components are removed.
Is it true that SMSS won't install over IE7, that must have IE6 installed to get SMSS.
We have a couple XP machines with only 256Mb of RAM and have Windows 2000 client tools installed. What are the minimum hardware requirements for SQL 2005 (Workstation) on an XP desktop?
My boss thinks since we have been blissfully ignorant and running fine with 256Mb then their is no need to upgrade memory in these machines.
I'm setting up a new 2005 server and bulk insert from a client workstation (using windows authentication) is failing with:
Msg 4861, Level 16, State 1, Line 1 Cannot bulk load because the file "\FILESERVERNAMEsharedfolderfilename.txt" could not be opened. Operating system error code 5(Access is denied.).
Here's my BULK INSERT statement (though I'm pretty sure there's nothing wrong with it):
BULK INSERT #FIRSTROW FROM '\FILESERVERNAMEsharedfolderfilename.txt' WITH ( DATAFILETYPE = 'char', ROWTERMINATOR = '', LASTROW = 1 )
If I run the same transact SQL when remote desktopped into the new server (under the same login as that used in the client workstation), it imports the file without errors.
If I use the sa client login from the client workstation (sql server authentication) the bulk insert succeeds.
My old SQL 2000 server lets me bulk insert the file without errors even from my client workstations using windows authentication.
I have followed the instructions on this site: http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=928173&SiteID=1 , but still no luck and same error.
I'm pretty sure it is being caused by the increased constraints on bulk insert in 2005. Hoping someone can help. The more specific the better. If you need more info, let me know.
Oh and I've also made sure that the SQL service uses a domain logon account rather than the local system account.
Note that the file server (source file resides there) is a DIFFERENT machine than the 2005 SQL server. If I move the source file to the sql server machine the error goes away (not a preferred solution though).
Hello. I am trying to install only the Workstation Components portion of SQL Server 2005 and I get about halfway through and the installation errors out. The error is:
This happens after the second disk of the installation is about halfway through installing and then it throws an error stating that "The wrong volume is in the drive. Please insert volume SQLSRVRS into drive D. Cancel, Try Again, Continue" I replace the disc with the first disc and if I pick "Continue" it will display the error above. If I pick "Try again" the installation finishes, but there are components missing from Visual Studio.
I have installed the Workstation components on my local PC, which also contains VS 2005 and SQL Express. I installed the WS components so that I could run the full blown version of SQL Management Studio from my PC, to remove SQL 2005 servers.
I tried to update the Workstation components to SP1, but the SP1 package stops at the Setup Support Files, step and terminates claiming the package does not support SQL Express. I realize the package is not intended for Express, I simply need to update Management studio.
I tried running the Post SP1 Tools hotfix and it complains that it will not update SP0 of the tools.
I have successfully updated Express to SP1 and applied the Post hotfixes as well. Is there any way to patch just Management studio on a system with Express installed?
I thought I had applied sp2 successfully but I discovered when I tried to apply the hotfix ( sqlserver2005-kb933097-x86-enu.exe), that the SQL Server Tools and Workstation Components wasn't at the 3042 level.
The recommendation in the log file is to:
"Update 3152 is dependent on prerequisite update 3042. Exit setup and refer to the Knowledge Base article to find the prerequisite patch."
Does anyone know where I find the prerequisite patch?
Any help would be appreciated.

I have need to configure Microsoft SQL Server 2014 express on my development machine. I have never worked with Microsoft SQL Server and could use some direction. I have done MYSQL work before but the seems much different.
When I install SQL Server 2005, it all goes well except that it fails to install these two:
- SQLXML 4
- workstation components and tools
When I try to install these two from the CD in the Setup folder of the CD 2 with the files sqlxml4.msi and sqlRun_Tools.msi (if I remember these names correctly), it gives me an error:
'Ce package d'installation n'est pas pris en charge par ce type de processeur'
Sorry. My SQL CDs are in french, but it roughly translates to the message:
This installation package is not taken by this processor.
I thought that my hardware configuration does not meet the requirements. But I have a Pentium 4, 2Gig RAM, over 100Gig free HD space. Also I tried to install on other computers to no avail. This is a fresh install, that is, there is no previous SQL Server 2000 in it, no VS.NET 2005 or before. Nothing. I have just a fresh, new computer.
