Not sure where to poswt this but I have a question. Is it possible to downgrade a remote SQL instance (the RTC database for LCS 2005 EE) to MSDE / SQL EXPRESS running on the LCS node?
I have two LCS2005EE pools side by side in the same account domain. The company recently went through a split where a part of our operation was spun off to another company. We're trying to figure out a way to leave them a working LCS but cut our hosted server count. What I came up with was basically 3 or 4 possible scenarios:
Leave only two servers (LCS and SQL.)
Try to move and run two instances on new production equipment
Try to downgrade the remote RTC instance into MSDE / SQL EXPRESS and leave one server.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Hello people,
I'm experiencing problem here that we need to downgrade our sql 2005 back to version 7.0.
Apparently, all the mdf files from 2005 are recognized as "corrupted" by the 7.0 server.
All my dbs are created within 2005 and i'd like to move these to the older 7.0 server.
I wonder whether there are any procedure to convert 2005 mdf files so
that is is compatible with sql server 7.0? or what is the most common
way of solving this?
Any pointer would be appreciated. thx!

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have developed a database using SQL Server 2005 Express for 2005 Enterprise. My client now realises they don't have a licence for 2005 and require a copy of the database that will work on SQL Server 2000. I can find plenty of information about migrating from 2000 to 2005 but not the other way round. Is this possible and, if so, I would really appreciate any pointers on how to do it.

We are upgrading an application that is not yet supported on SQL Server 2005. The upgrade involves new hardware (including a new sql server). Any gotchas or advice regarding this plan:
1. Install Windows 2003 64 bit, configure hardware appropriately for running SQL Server.
2. Install SQL Server 2000 64 bit using the 2005 license key (is that how you 'downgrade'? I didn't see a 'how-to' article regarding this).
3. Restore backups of system databases from current SQL Server to new SQL Server (note: current SQL Server is running 32 bit - I realize that I need to make sure that I have the same service pack on the new server as that on the current server).
4. Apply sp4.
5. Restore user databases.
Not sure if the 32 vs. 64 bit thing is of any concern or if 'downgrading' is as simple as this.
Thanks!

anyone knows how to do that?

Hi
I have the following problem :
I have licensed a german version of sbs 2003 premium. With the upgrade to sbs 2003 r2, I will buy the rights to use the sql 2005 workgroup edition. But the german sbs 2003 r2 is not available by now.
I could go in production with the sql 2005 trial, this is an entreprise edition.
My question is : can I downgrade the sql server 2005 from this trial edition (entreprise) to the workgroup edition ? Is it possible ? easy ? any recommendations ?
Many thanks !

Hello,I created a script with database publishing wizard to convert a SS2005db into a SS2k db. The script has schema and data and looks very good.When I try to start the created script in SS2k-Query analyzer, I get anerror like (in german)Server: Nachr.-Nr. 105, Schweregrad 15, Status 1, Zeile 2Öffnendes Anführungszeichen vor der Zeichenfolge '�퉊䘒'.It meens - translated from german- 'opening quote before string<blabla>'In the sript it stops at this line:EXEC dbo.sp_addextendedproperty @name=N'GUID', @value=N'�퉊䘒In the script many lines before I have many other GUIDs which QAdoesn't complain, so it's an Unicode/ANSI-issue I guess. What to donow?thankscandide_sh

Hi all--I'm researching the cleanest downgrade path from a trial edition of SQL Server 2005 Enterprise to a licensed Standard Edition copy. It looks like downgrading will entail uninstalling the old version and installing the new version, but I'd like to save the original setup as much as possible. Detaching the old databases will preserve the non-system databases; what method would work best for restoring the system databases?
Thanks!

I have just migrated a complete SQL Server 2008 R2 SP2 development server from Windows 2003 to Windows 2008 Server. Â I just realized that I should not have used the Data center edition Product Key as this is Development server. Â I am being asked to downgrade to Developer edition. Â I have already migrated all the logins, databases(40 databases), cubes etc. Â I really can't uninstall and reinstall Developer edition. Â How else can I upgrade/downgrade to switch from Datacenter edition to Developer edition. Â
View 2 Replies View RelatedI recently bought a Dell server with Windows 2003 enterprise edition. I wanted the X32 version and metnioned of the same to the sales people, but somehow they put the x64 edition on the server. The database I am planning to use does not work on X64 edition as of now. How do I downgrade the OS to X32 version? Do I need to send the system back to Dell? Machine not opened yet. Or is there a way I can get software CD and downgrade to X32 version?
Thanks,

Is it possible to downgrade SQL from Enterprise to Standard Edition, or do you have to remove the previous installation (uninstall) and reinstall. Meaning you would also have to restore all user databases? Thanks.
