Can the NT Server Name, SQL Server Name and IP Addresses be changed without reinstalling NT(4.0) and without reinstalling SQL Server (6.5). We have SQL Server on an NT Server and they both have the same name. If this can be done how would it impact the Registry. Would the appropriate settings in the Registry be updated? Thanks.

A quick question for you all, We will be changing the IP address of our SQL 7's server sometime next week. Does any1 know of any issues/problems that could occur if we do so?
Thanks in advance for any and all help

We have SQL Server 2000 Standard and recently moved from Exchange 5.5to Exchange 2003. This problem occurred both before and after thee-mail change.We would like to send notifications of failed jobs to multiple peoplein case one person happens not to be in on the day there is a problem.Setting up an operator with an e-mail name that combines twoaddresses seems to work ok as long as we use a format like thefollowing:smith_john; jones_maryorJoin Bytes!; Join Bytes!However, when we add a third name, we start getting problems. Thefirst and third accounts listed get the message but the second onedoes not -- apparently because the address gets corrupted. Forexample (based on the message received at one of the good addresses),a message sent to:Join Bytes!; Join Bytes!;Join Bytes!goes to Smith and Jackson successfully but Jones' address is corruptedto:Join Bytes!omand, of course, fails.From some other testing, it appears that the last three characters ofthe first address always get appended to the end of the secondaddress.Has anyone else run across this? If so, is there a known fix? I hadhoped Exchange 2003 would fix the problem. Most likely, we will trysetting up a personal distribution list under the account from whichthe messages are sent. I just wanted to give one more shot to findingthe problem -- both because I would like to know and because beingable to string together addresses is a little easier than having to gothrough the person who can give us access to the account to set thePDL.Thanks.Jonathan LevyChicago Department of Public Health

Hello Guys,
I had been trying to solve this error with no success :
One or more of the server network addresses lacks a fully qualified domain name (FQDN). Specify the FQDN for each server, and click Start Mirroring again.
The syntax for a fully-qualified TCP address is:
TCP://<computer_name>.<domain_segment>[.<domain_segment>]:<port>
I had installed three instances on my local machine to test Data base mirroring :
Principal : running SQL Developer Instance
Mirror : running SQL Developer Instance .
Witness : Running SQL Express.
Database mirroring already enabled using startup flag : -T1400
i even tried to configure it with out a witness but still have the same error .
I used the follwoing server name in the mirroring wizard(not localhost) :
Principal : TCP://Ali-laptop:5022
Mirrored : TCP://Ali-laptop:5023
Witness : TCP://Ali-laptop:5044
whats the problem guys?!
Can anyone help me with a problem I have with SSRS 2005? How do I configure SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services to deliver subscription e-mails to addresses external to my windows domain?
I've been having trouble configuring the Report Server e-mail delivery component to send subscription e-mails to addresses outside the domain on which the report server is hosted.
For e.g. since my local windows domain is named "smartsystems.com", I have found that the Report Manager does not have any problems sending subscription mails to "eawagu@smartsystems.com" but throws up an error whenever I include "eawagu@yahoo.com" in the recipients' list.
Any insights?
I am asking about a virtual IP for SQL Server, is there a way we can assign a different IP to SQL Server other than the server's(host) IP address? like the same what we do in a clustered env.

We have a bunch of servers running server 2000 & 2003 along with many sql server (versions 2000 & 2005) databases in a production environment pulling transactions then doing warehousing & reporting.
An audit has shown up 1 production server using English_US 'mmddyyyy' system date formats, all others being English_Australian 'ddmmyyyy'.
Is it safe to simply change the regional settings on this English_US server to English_Australian or will it mess up the data in our SQL 2005 databases? I've not been able to get a definitive answer from anyone yet!
many thanks in advance; GaryP
Scenario
Recently moved a SQL2000 database to SQL2005.
Collation on SQL 2000 database server was SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS
Colaltion on SQL 2005 database server is Latin1_General_CI_AS
After restoring the SQL 2000 database on SQL 2005 we observed that the database collation was SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS. We have altered the database collation to Latin1_General_CI_AS. We understand this will work for all new objects created on the database but existing objects (prior to the collation change) will continue to have the 'SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS' collation.
What is the best method to change the collation of the older columns to 'Latin1_General_CI_AS' -
1) Run ALTER TABLE ALTER COLUMN <colname> <datatype> COLLATE Latin1_General_CI_AS <nullability>
on each varchar/char column
or
2) For each table
BCP out data
DROP TABLE
RECREATE TABLE (taking the new collation Latin1_General_CI_AS)
BCP in data
3) Other methods?
Thanks in advance
David.
I'd like to capture the change event when it happens and have both a record posted to a table and an email notification to the DBA.

I have Transaction Replication setup on a Server X. Server X is publisher and distributor. Server Y is the Subscriber.Everything works perfectly. Â But I need to change the Database with a different DB on Server X that is being replicated to Server Y. I have following questions:

I'm trying to connect to a local instance of SQL Server using an IP address and its not working. When I looked up the connect string, it shows only the IP address replacing the Server name, not the instance name, i.e. Server=127.0.0.1 - how does it know which instance to use?
Can I use the 127.0.0.1 loopback address for the server (as its on a local machine)?

Computer name changes happen alot where I work and I'm trying to make a simple batch file that when run, will automatically update the SQL server name. I believe this will work, but I am having problems with the text formatting of the output file. Here is the 'code':
-------------start of batch file------------------

I guess I could also edit the loopback address to be the current PC Name, but this should work for my purposes I also know that I may have to change the authentication mode from SQL to Windows Authentication.

I need to replicate some tables from our store servers
to our corporate server. All of them are 6.5, and
the corporate server will subscribe and the stores
will publish. I have registered
all of our stores on the corporate server so that I can
enable them for replication.
The problem is that to be able to register them I had to create
a system DSN for ODBC, but that would only work if I used the
IP addresses. Unfortunately, then when I try to enable them
on the corporate server I get an error stating that name (which
is the IP address) is not a valid object identifier.
In ODBC I did actually use a real name (not an IP) for the
name, a normal description, and the IP is in the Server
field. Is there some way to use an alias? What am I doing wrong?

Is there a way to export a list of email addresses to outlook based on certain query conditions? So for example, lets say using pubs, I want to send out an email to a group of authors who have published only one book. So could I essentailly query for the authors and then have those corresponding authors emails sent to outlook so that I could send out a generic email asking them if they are going to write another book or something like that?

Hello!
We will be moving our two cluster running SQL Server 2005 64-bit SP2 on Windows 2003 to the different datacenter. IP addressed of both nodes will be changed by DNS names remain the same.

Comments are welcome.

I have a report with a Matrix table. When it€™s fully populated I have 5 rows. These rows are different categories in a CRM system. In these categories there are a lot of Opportunities listed. The thing here is that category 1-4 exist in one table, really a view, and category 5 exist in another different view. So to gather all the information into one single Matrix table to later have subtotals and stuff I just made a little Union of the two select queries.
Now one the column in the table is of course Topic. And from here my client wants to be linked to the right CRM card. The problem I have encountered is that how can I have to different addresses on one single cell in the table?
In the Navigation pane in the cell that corresponds to the Topic, for now I have an address like this:
=string.Format("http://{0}/SFA/opps/edit.aspx?id={1}", Parameters!srv.Value, Fields!objectid.Value)
What I need to change when it€™s a category 5 Opportunity is €œopps€? to €œcat5€?and add €œ&etc=10008€? to the end of the address. Any ideas?
PS. {0} and {1} are parameters, one server parameter and one opportunity ID parameter.
Kind Regards

@@servername command returns the new server name
Any help in this matter is really appreciated
