Is there any good online documentation describing rules of thumb for estimating and planning a SQL Server 2005 deployment in support of a Windows rich client/WCF services architecture?
TIA,

Is there a way to see how much memory your current SQL Server install is using? I recently had to do some reconfiguring, and although it went fine, I'd like to build a spreadsheet model so I could see what different parameter values do to memory usage. I'm kinda surprised there isn't one already.
And yes, I realize that 99% of the configuration options go away in 7.0. We're going to have 6.5 here for a while yet.
Hi ,
I want to install a new SQL 2005 server. i looked on MSDN, it says to create one or more domain user accounts. That means to create a windows domain. Is it neccessary? All I want is a stand-alone SQL server. right now we are working with SQL 2000 and we want to build a new server with SQL 2005.
Please send me a short feedback.
I have a sql server (2k sp4), a web server and a development machine.
I need to install sql server reporting services and am confused as to the prerequisites and as to what gets installed where.
Is there a server install and a client install or do I run the same install on both (and deselect what's not required on each).
Sorry it's a bit vague but in my research various people have told me various different things.
Hello experts out there,
Just one quick question, will installing reporting services require the server to reboot or sql to restart? I'll do this to a production server and just wonder if I can do while the box is in use.
Thank you in advance. You guys rock!

I was trying to install the Developer Edition of 2005 last night, and ran into a strange issue. I specified F:SQLDev as the installation directory, but the installer still refused to install claiming lack of disk space. Checking the disk cost, I saw that it was still asking for about 1.5 GB on my C: drive. I double checked, and I did specify the installation directory as F:SQLDev.
Is there documentation somewhere that describes why it would require space on the boot drive? Or am I missing a switch somewhere or something?
Thanks in advance for any help.
Hello,
Wondering if anyone can help. When I install SQL Server Express it says that my computer does not meet system requirements. I have a Thinkpad T60 with XP SP2 and .Net Framework 2.0 but it still won't go. So my system meets the requirements on the web but the intsaller says it doesn't. Any ideas?
Thank you!
Hi every one,
I'd like to install SQL SERVER 2005 Express Edition ,I begin to install it from DVD but during the installation it dosn't ask me about any instance and after installation there isn't SQLExpress service and I can't use sql server .(there are not MSSQL and Binn directory in sql server 2005) but when I install visual studio 2005 and after that I install sql server 2005 it ask me for name of instance and with this way every thing is ok and I use sql server completely.
I 'd like to know the complete installation of sql server 2005 is depend on installation of visual studio 2005 befor it ?if not how can I introduce any instance after installation of sel server 2005 .
I am trying to do an upgrade in place from SQL Server 2000 SP3a to SQL Server 2005. I am encountering the following error. SQL Server Setup has encountered the following problem:[Microsoft][SQL Native Client][SQL Server] Password validation failed. The password does not meet Windows policy requirements because it is too short...To continue, correct the problem and then SQL Server setup again. I read the other posting and it mentioned that the sa account needs to be changed. I have changed the sa account to meet the passowrd requirements for our system and have changed the following services I could find over to my domain account which I know meets the password restrictions. If I do a new install, everything seems to load correctly. What options do I have to do this upgrade in place?
Thanks for your help,
Bill

View 2 Replies View RelatedThis doesn't make any sense. I am trying to install SQL Server 2005 on SBS 2003 with Service Pack 1. According to Windows Update, there is nothing left for me to install. However, I am getting this error (while installing SQL Server Express and the Developer Edition):
"Your operating system does not meet Service Pack level requirements for this SQL Server release. Install the Service Pack from the Microsoft Download Center at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=50380, and then run SQL Server setup again."
When I go to the link, there is nothing there to download (it takes me to the main Microsoft download page). I meet all the requirements that I have found. What gives?
Thanks,

Can 2005 be installed on XP Media Center Edition? I looked on the SQL site,
but it only references Windows XP, not this particular version. Any whitepapers, links, etc., would be especially appreciated.
TIA, ChrisR

Hi,
I was hoping to learn from real world experience regarding the hardware requirements for SQL 2005. For both the 32 and 64 bit OS the minimumn recommendaiton is single processor, 1GB or more, 512 MB RAM.

This seems very thin and I was wondering if anyone had recommendations for hardware configs for a mirrored db cluster? I'm filling in as a DBA and apologize for the ignorance.

Hi All,
I trying to Install on Windows XP with Service pack 4, OS.
I am trying to install the Developer Edition of SQL Server 2005 version for which it is not able to load many packages as it says IIS services, Integration Services Etc,. were not installed and if they were ignored then rest will be loaded and thereafter I could not either login or invoke either any.
Can anyone suggest me where it went wrong and what I need to do with instructions.
Thanks in advance.
Unfortunately for me, I am not a DBA - even though I have always filled that role where ever I have been. That being said, I have always been fortunate enough to have someone else more knowledgeable than I to perform the initial build of the SQL Servers I have used and managed. So, I have the following question...
I just finished installing and configuring a new dedicated SQL Server (it is nice too). One of the included discs it he MSDN Library. Do I need to install that too? Is there any reason to or not to install it? I would appreciate any feedback.

Hi,
SQL Server 2005 has been installed on windows server 2003 machine by the support team.
Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio 9.00.3042.00
Now this machine has been passed on to me to create databases, tables, etc...
On this server, I open the management studio and I get the connect to server windows.
What should the entries in the connect to server window be for me to get to the next stage where I can start building databases.
At present, I tried local or localhost and windows/sql authentication.
Still can not get to the management studio window.
Any thoughts please?
Thanks

Hi,
I'm trying to re-install the ms sql server 2005 but I keep getting the following message:
TITLE: Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Setup
------------------------------
SQL Server Setup could not connect to the database service for server configuration. The error was: [Microsoft][SQL Native Client]SSL Provider: The certificate chain was issued by an authority that is not trusted.
Refer to server error logs and setup logs for more information. For details on how to view setup logs, see "How to View Setup Log Files" in SQL Server Books Online.

This is my second time installing the ms sql server. I couldn't create a new database connection using odbc, I constantly got error messages so i decided to install it with windows and sql authentication (earlier i installed it only with windows authentication).
But I can't complete my installation.
Can some please help me with this.
Thank you!!

View 6 Replies View RelatedI have just purchased SQL Server 2005 and a new Dell 2800 server to run it on. I was told by my Dell rep to configure the server with the following drives. 2 - 36GB drives in a RAID 0 (15,000 RPM), 2 - 73GB drives in a RAID 0 (10,000 RPM) and 3 - 146GB drives in a RAID 5 (10,000 RPM). Dell pre-installed the OS on the 36GB drive. I was told to install SQL on the 73GB drives and the data (primarily TIFF images) on the 146GB. The server is a 64bit machine with Windows 2003 Server and 4GB of RAM. I was told to put the transaction logs on a different physical drive that the database to speed the writes. Is this a correct installation? Is there any information on a best practice installation? I have spent about 6 hours on MS and Google trying to find an answer. Thanks for any help you can give. Recap of Dell recommendation:
2 - 36GB Mirrored Drives = OS
2 - 73BG Mirrored Drives = SQL Server 2005
3 - 146GB RAID 5 Drives = Data (Images)
Is this correct?
Where should the Transaction Logs Be?
While installing Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Express Edition the installation did not complete because of WMI configuation of my system.
Can somebody help!
