How to get the list of instance of SQL Server 7.0/2000 running on the local machine inside my domain...
I need to prepare the list of all sql instances.. pls help if possible to find details using sql query.
We are planning to upgrade vom SQL 6.5 to SQL 2000 and SMS 1.2 to SMS 2.0. We want to first migrate SMS 1.2 to 2.0 with the SQL 6.5 database. Afterwards we want to install SQL 2000 as a second instance on the sql 6.5 server and migrate from there our databases. Is this the best way to do this? Does anybody have experience with running two instances of different SQL-Versions on one server? and what kind of trouble can I expect to run into?
I had a server with SQL Server 7.0 I installed a named instance of SQL Server 2000 and then i passed all my DB of the 7.0 instance to the 2000 instance. Then i removed the 7.0 instance, that was the default instance. So at the moment there is only the 2000 version, but it isn't the default instance Can the 2000 instance become the default instance? (So that clients can connect to it simply through computer name, and not creating an alias)
I have a website running under Windows Server 2003 which I am trying to deploy Reportin Services to using a custom security extension using Forms authentication. There is also another website which is just a Report Server running on this IIS 6.
On my development machine, XP with IIS 5.1, the Website with Reporting Services using forms authentication works fine, shares cookies for authentication and all that jazz. but trying to configure a second instance of Reporting Services on Server 2003 is not behaving.
Is there some trickery or details involved with running two instances of Reporting Services?
Also in the Configure Report Server tool it is failing and so not initializing on the last step of the Database Setup
Setting Connection Info for Reporting Server

I'm looking at installing 2008R2 and 2014 side by side, then using Mirroring to provide HA for the 2008R2 instance and AoHA for the 2014 instance. I'd be using the same two physical servers for both the Mirroring pair and the AoHA pair.
When i have multiple sql server instances running on one server, how to check the names of that instances with out connecting to sql server management studio.
My client has a server running MS 2003 Server for Smal Business Server, and it has SQL Server Express 2005 installed (I believe it is installed 3 times, as part of SharePoint, Veritas Backup Exec and ACT! applications).
I am trying to implement an application that uses SQL Server 2000, but the Server 2003 SBS does not support that version. So I need to launch an additional instance of SQL Server Exp 2005.
To do so, do I need to download and install SQL Server Express 2005 software again? Or can I just run SQLSVR.exe from an existing instance, but with a different instance name (sqlservr.exe -s<InstanceName>?
The reason I need another instance is that these existing instances limit DDL statements.
I am new to this and compare it to launching MS Word multiple times - you don't need to reinstall Word to run it multiple times.
Is launching from the command line a bad idea - and if it is, what is the better way to ensure that it launches under the local system context a service?
Thanks in advance for any help and insights. It is much appreciated.
I need any information on whether its possible to create more than 16 instances of SQL Server 2000. I know Microsoft says they don't support over 16 but what are the downfalls of doing this? How many could possibly be put on one server?
I have a server with SQL Server2000 databases in it.. Now i would like to install SQL Server 2005 on the same server with out disturbing SQL Server 2000 databases
I need to create a seperate instance for SQL Server 2005..
is it possible to have both the instances on the same server.
We have a new failover cluster (Windows 2003 SP1, Microsoft SQL 2000 SP4) with each node of the cluster hosting 7 SQL Server instances in a 2-node active-active configuration connected to a SAN. We are planning to move some SQL Server Instances(from existing stand-alone servers) into this Cluster. Any insight into the process of moving SQL Servers into the cluster would be highly appreciated.
I fully understand that to connect to a named instance of SQL Server you need to use the ServerNameSQLInstanceName. The problem I have is that I have a SQL Server in a different zone. I can connect to the Default instance by IP Address or the ServerName.zone.domain.org. (e.g. MySQLServer.zone1.mydomain.org).
However, the same thing does not work for the Named Instance. It seems to be named instance or nothing.
How can I connect to this named instance across network zones?:S
We are having all kinds of issues with named instances for SQL 2000.
I am trying to connect to a SQL Server 2000 named instance on a different subnet and get an error. I cannot connect with ODBC or our web app.
I am using the port number for the alias that I created in the SQL Client Utility. We can connect to default instances without a problem, but not the named instances.
The SQL Server is 2000 build 2040 (Service pack 4 with a hot fix.) The server is listening on port 1223. In the ODBC connection I click on the Network Config and create an alias with the named instance such as SQLVSNSQLNI and specify port 1223. I have also tried adding the port to the connection string in the ASP include file (SQLVSNSQLNI,1223). If I do the same thing with a default instance on the network, both the app and ODBC work fine. It is only when I use a named instance.
Very frustrated. Thanks for any help you can provide
Hi all,I just asked some people to help me out and phone microsoft with thefollowing information, kindly they refused unless we setup a supportcontract with them first, for pre-sales information. (That really doesnot sound like good business sense to me - anyway here is our problem,if anyone could help thanks)."To tell and ask microsoft:We will be setting up a microsoft sql server 2000 instance running on awindows 2003 server.1) We need to check this can run alongside a microsoft 2003 sql server(either workgroup or standard edition), on the same machine. Are thereany .dll clashes if we do this? If there are can we run SQL Server2000, in a virtual machine running windows 2000 professional. (I have alicenced copy we can use for this).2) If we run one instance of 2000, and one of 2003 of the sql servers,can one use the processor licence model, and one use the CAL licencemodel."Thanks for any help, and any idea why they actually force you to usenews groups for pre-sales information?David
In Management Studio Express, one instance of Sql Express is running, with User Instances. This in indicated by a green circle with a white arrow head.
At the same time I'm connected to an instance of Sql Express on a Small Business Server. This server instance just has a white circle, but is also running. Is this normal.?
I am working on a site's SQL Server 2000 database on a W2k3 machine . I went into Enterprise Manager and saw that their database resides on a named instance. I did not see the default instance listed so I registered that using windows authentication. I noticed that the default instance had a user database that had the same name as the user database on the named instance that I was to work on. I looked at the properties of the databases and saw that on both the default and named instances of SQL Server that the Data Files and Log Files for the user database point to the same location.
Is this a problem? Can anyone see any issues with this? Does this mean that someone can simply connect to the named or the default instance of the SQL Server and connect to the same database?
We have (after several weeks of testing in all kind of environments) send out a new version of our application to several of our customers. Within days problems where drippin in; After looking for the problem on various customer situations we found a problem which I think is rather disturbing and very odd. I'll describe the situation, on which we finally managed to recreate the problem, here.
In my problem I use the following configuration:
Windows 2003 (standard edition) AD network with 2 domain controllers, multiple Windows XP workstations, some without SQL instances, some with SQL 2000 instances, some with SQL 2005 instances and even one with SQL 7 running. All run a 32 bit OS.
Tools to reproduce:
ListSQLSvr application (found on SQLDev.net) to enumerate the instances.
Problem description: -------------------------------------------------- I am running the machine called DEV001, which has SQL 2000 (instancename DRUMIS) and SQL 7.0 (has no instancename so this is the root instance) installed.
In any 'normal' situation all the runnings SQL instances are visible on the network like this:
Notice that the browser service might be off on DEV002, you can still see the EXPRESS instance and a new root instance has appeared (though it doesn't exist!)??
After restarting the Browser service all is OK again.
When I turn on Hide Server in the SQL 2000 TCP/IP properties (or turn it on in the registry [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftMicrosoft SQL ServerDRUMISMSSQLServerSuperSocketNetLibTcp] "TcpHideFlag"=dword:00000001) on the DEV002 computer something real scary is happening.. The list looks as follows:
When someone has entered a database (for example the backoffice database on INSADBACKOFFICEEXACT) the list looks as follows (for a short moment; 5 secs or so):
Notice now that ALL instances are gone and no extended information is available. In the Query Analyser and in the SQL Management Studio when browsing you'll see this as well! When someone is accessing a database instance it appears for a few seconds again.
Since our installation and applications rely on selecting a existing instance it will fail in the above situations (or at least not showing all available instances).
In my opinion this is a bug somewhere! Note that even when the SQL Services are stopped on DEV002 (leaving the Browser service running) it still seems to block out ALL instance on the ENTIRE network!
I don't mind that one INSTANCE or even the entire MACHINE is hidden from the network, but ALL instances on ALL machines??
And the SQL Browser issue also worries me a bit since it does not stop the possibily to browse the SQL instances; it removes the SQL2000 instances but adds a root instance which doesn't even exist! Also the extended info is stripped.
Can anyone help me solve this/advise?
Also mind that in any situation there might run a lot of computers with a lot of SQL instances and I cannot tell our customers to find which machine has the SQL TCP/IP properties set to Hide... It even seems that in some situations SBS 2003 does the hiding automatically on Install? And if so, when and why?

We have a DTS package that is submitted every minute by a SQL Agent job (2000). We see instances where before the first job is completed, the second one starts running.
Has anyone encountered this type of behavior before?
I want to enumerate all the RUNNING SQL instances[in a mixed env where SQL 2000 and SQL2005 are deployed] using SQL DMO. But any of the following methods would not help
When I am in Visual Studio 2005, and I try to add an SQL database, I get the following error "generating user instances in sql server is disabled. use sp_configure user instances enabled to generate user instances." I am currently using SQL server 2005 Express. What do I need to do, to create an SQL database? Thanks in advance.
In my application code I am trying to invoke multiple threads in which each thread is loading an instance of the same SSIS package and would initialize the package variables with different values and execute the different instances in parallel. In each thread - after the package execution has completed successfully - I read that instance's SSIS package variables to get result information from that Instance run.
When I load the same package in different thread using LoadFromSqlServer() method - does the code create multiple instances of the SSIS package and load the distinct instances in each of the thread - Will the Package Execution ID be different for the different instances? - Are the package level variables instance safe?
I am running multiple instance of the same application. This application is connecting to the database and running stored procedures using ADODB (all code examples are taken from msado15).
The problem is that somehow these two applications are sharing something either with the connection or commands.
For instance if the two instances are in the following function at the same time then they both thow an SEH exception:
The exception that occurs is: "First-chance exception ...: 0xC0000005: Access violation reading location 0x00000068."
And afterwords when they go to release the command an error occurs on First-chance exception at 0x4de4120c in IpsEngine.exe: 0xC0000005: Access violation reading location 0xcccccccc.
Code Snippet
inline void _bstr_t::Data_t::_Free() throw() {
if (m_wstr != NULL) { ::SysFreeString(m_wstr); } if (m_str != NULL) {
The command and connections are not static and there should be completely seperate instances of these for each instance of the application. Does anybody know why this may be happening. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Has anyone been able to run a DTS package from DOS. When I execute the dtsrun command it fires the process off in another Dos session and quickly closes. I know that SQL 7.0 worked ok. When it runs from dos it tell you when each step runs successfully or fails. I am Running Windows 2000 Server SP2 and SQL 2000 SP1. So the question is, is there any way to run the dtsrun utility from dos so you can see what is going on?
I've installed sql2005 on a windows 200 server. now the requirement is to install sql2000 also on the same server.
Would like to know if any have experienced and type of problem on having both sql on same server. and if there is any impact on installing sql2000 after sql2005.
Hi, we have a SqlServer instance in production containing around 10databases.It has just been realised that all the db's are held on the small c:partition with only a gig or so of space left.On the server there is another partition and another hard disk bothwill ample space (few hundred gigs).What would be the best way of getting the data onto the otherpartitions with minimal impact on the applications. Can we move theprimary data files for each db? Should we just create secondary datafiles on the big partitions for all the db's? Is there a method ofmoving all the data at once?Any ideas on how we should approach this?(ps we dont have control of the sqlserver its outsourced, so simplerthe better).Thanks,Jim
When you are inserting/altering a table and you expect values to be added, should you see the number of rows affected at the bottom of the query screen as the time goes by or not?
I€™m having a few issues with a server that keeps grinding to a halt and having frequent system issues requiring a reboor. It is Sql 2000 32 bit enterprise edition running 64 bit 2003 server. Im not sure of the impact of having the AWE switch set for this server because even though it has 8Gb of RAM it is only using 262Mb and is used extensively. It is set to dynamically configure sql server memory with a minuimum memory of 3075 and maximum of 6144
Is it worth me removing the AWE option or are there any more tweaks I can make to make this system run more effectively?
When using Sql Server Enterprise Manager and viewing a Database / Tables section, most of the tables if not all have a create date of 11/5/2004.Except for one, DNN_Users, has a creation date of 7/10/2007What factor could have caused that create date to have changed?What factors go into the date being set on that column in the database design? Does the date get updated say if I were go go in and change a datatype in a table?
I´m currently developing an import/export package in SSIS. I recently realized that this package is supposed to be run on a SQL Server 2000 instance, and I have no clue if this will work... I´m pretty new to SQL Server, but I now that DTS from 2000 ws replaced by SSIS in 2005, and the command-line dtsrun replaced by dtexec.
So my question: Will I be able to run a SSIS package on SQL Server 2000, and how would I do that?
I have three systems that running different version of SQL sever.. 1. my notebook - SQL Server Express 2005 2. my WS - SQL Server 2005 Standard 3. my server - SQL Server 2000
I installed SSEUtil to all of them and only the notebook works.. I read the Read me but it doesn't help me resolve my problem so I hope someone from this forum can help me out..
The problem: Running sseutil on system 2. and 3. get this error, but not on 1. SSEUtil An error has occurred while establishing 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. (provider: SQL Network Interfaces, error: 26 - Error Locating Server/Instance Specified) Additional information: The service 'MSSQL$SQLEXPRESS' is not installed.
