I have the standard edition of SQL Server 2005 installed on a WIN XP Pro machine. I setup file and print sharing with my laptop. What do I need to be able to connect to SQL Server on my WIN XP Pro machine from my laptop. I hope to do most of my developing on my laptop. Do I need the developers edition of SQL server 2005 installed on my laptop?
I want to buy a laptop, so that I can install and play with the trial SS 2005 Enterprise Edition and hopefully get familiar with SSIS. At work I have only used SS 2000. I want a laptop which will run this with a reasonable speed, but don't want to pay for more juice than is actually required. Does anyone have any advice on what kind of spec would be good enough for SS 2005 Enterprise? If I go for the basics suggested by the system requirements, will it run like a tortoise?
I am trying to create a linked server in a SQL Server 2000 instance that is linking to a SQL Server 7 instance on an NT4 box. I am able to link the server but when I try to run a query (create a view) I get an error. It is the same error that I got when accessing linked servers on SQL Server 2000 instances running on Windows Server 2003. In those cases i just had to follow this procedure to get it to work:
1. Click Start, point to Control Panel, and then click Add or Remove Programs.
2. Click Add/Remove Windows Components.
3. Select Application Server, and then click Details.
4. Select Enable network DTC access, and then click OK.
5. Click Next.
6. Click Finish.
7. Restart the computer.
However, this is obviously not the same in NT4 on SQL Server 7. My question is how do I enable network DTC access on this system so that I can create and query the linked database?
I have 2 SQL 2K Servers set up on my home network. Both PC's are running Windows XP and as far as I can tell are configured identically, however I can connect to the Server A from PC B but not Server B from PC A (both work fine when I am on the same machine I try to connect to). Any ideas anyone, the error message I am getting is attached.
I am hoping you will be of assistance to me and provide a little advice on what exactly is possible using SQL Express / SQL Server 2005 with regards to remotely connecting to a server.
I am a final year undergraduate student studying computing sciences in the UK. As a final year project I am attempting to create a client-server database, where the client (a WM5 PDA) can connect to an SQL server hosted on a different machine (a PC). However, I must be able to connect to the server when the PDA is being used on any Wi-Fi connection.
Basically I want the PDA to be able to connect to a database kept on the PC at home when you're out and about using the PDA's wi-fi.
Is this possible? If so, could you explain in 'dummy' terminology how one would go about this?
As my university is part of the MS Academic Alliance I have access to VS 2005 and SQL Server 2005 for this project.
Many thanks for your time and I eagerly await your responses! Simon
Is there a limitation in sql server 2005 express that it does not accept connections via the network? I am trying to develop a web application running the web server as a VM but I can't connect to the sql server on the host machine. Similarly, I can't create an ODBC connection on the VM, but I can on the host. I could install sql express on the VM, that is probably the next thing I'll try.
When using my Work laptop while at home, how can I log into an SQLServer Express 2005 database on a home server, using Windows Authentication, without having to VPN in and log onto the network at Work? If I VPN into work then I can connect to my home db just fine.
I have a laptop which I carry from work to home each day. I'm a Domain Admin at work so my network login name is DOMAINjoe. At home I have 5 PCs in a home network, WorkGroup is WORKGROUP. When I carry my laptop home I log in exactly as I do at work. All is fine. File sharing, printer sharing, & internet all work between my 5 PCs.
I installed SQLServer Express 2005 on a home PC I use as a server (Vista Business edition). Home server's name is STAR. I developed a database called AddressBk on my laptop (Visual Studio 2008) using my laptop's local copy of SQLServerExpress. App works fine. I copied the Db files onto my home server STAR. My user name on STAR is Joe2, so while logged onto Star as Joe2 I used Star's SQLServer Management Studio Express to connect the AddressBk db to Star's copy of SQLServer Express. All is fine.
Now if I use my LapTop on my home network and try to connect to AddressBk on STAR I get a connection error. I get the error whether connecting using SQLServer Management Studio Express or using Visual Studio 2008. The SQLServer Management Studio Express connection screen shows I'm connecting using Windows Authentication and my User Name is DOMAINjoe. I presume this is the problem as I can not add a user on Star with a Domain Name. Other PCs on my home network can connect to AddressBk db on Star without a problem. If my labtop VPNs into work then I can connect just fine.
Here is the connection string my App uses. Data Source=STARSQLEXPRESS;Initial Catalog=AddressBk;Integrated Security=True;connection timeout=60
How can I connect to my db without having to VPN into work?
I'm green on this networking stuff so any help is greatly appreciated.
I have setup my home computer as a server and assigned a static IP to it. I installed SQL Server 2005 Developer and allowed remote connections to it through the Surface Area Config tool, added port 1433 TCP and 1434 UDP to firewall's exception list, and started the SQL Server Browser service.
Now I can't seem to remote connect to this SQL Server from my office network. Is there something I'm doing wrong here?
Can multiple instances of SQL 2005 Express attach to the same database files on a network share? I have seen this done before with MSDE where the database files are stored on the server, but instead of having a SQL server running on the network and then connecting to it, only the database files exist on the network share and the users connect through MSDE running on the local machine. Is this possible with SQL2005Express? I do not have the ability to share an SQL instance from one workstation to another nor do I have the ability to install an instance on the corporate server. Is it as simple as creating the database and storing the files on the share then attaching the database to the SQL Instance on each workstation?
Ok, this is my setup; Laptop Installed Visual Web Developer ExpressInstalled SQL Server Express Server Windows 2003 serverIIS is working and runs asp 2.0 scriptsInstalled SQL Server 2005 which is running, has remote connections enabled and the SQL browser is also runningThe windows firewall is turned OFF Router I have opened port 1433 to point to the server(TCP) and 1434 to point to the server (UPD) The Problem Locally on my laptop everything works fine, I can't actually see SQL Express but if I enter MICKEYsqlexpress then connecting to databases works fine.I've setup ftp on the server and I've created a new website using VWD on my laptop, it's connected via FTP and created the website fine, and it runs no problem. I am in a remote location so I am not connected to the local network, but even if I connect to the local network using VPN I still cannot get this to work. The problem is I am unable to get VWD to connect to SQL on my server. I've tried installing VWD on the server, and it seems the SQL server fine, and shows as just the server name which is "GOOFY". In VWD on my laptop I've tried entering the server as just "GOOFY" and also "GOOFYmssqlserver" and on both occassions I can an error message saying that a connection to the server couldnt be reached, and it's usually because the server is not setup to accept remove connections (but mine is). It also says something about "Named Pipe", but I've checked the server and that option is not enabled, I have TCP/IP enabled on the SQL server of the server. Can anyone help me to make a remote sql connection to my server?
I have transferred my program to a 2000 server and while programming it was automatically using the local ASPNET login and when transferring it to the server it says that it is having problems logging into the sql server using an anonymous login. How do i change the program so that it can use the sa login or some other assigned login?
i have a toshiba Satellite Pro 4300 laptop (15 GB and 64mb Ram and NT Server 4.0 service pack 6)...in other words enough space to install the two.. i installed SQL Server 7.0 (server)..it runs fine..but after this, when i install 6.5 on it, it goes thru the installation process and comes back with an error message saying 'access denied'...i have logged in as administrator so access rights should not be a problem...the CD is fine because i have done the same process on a desktop without errors...if someone can throw some light on this problem, it will be highly appreciated
Can someone please tell me if i can use SQL Server 2005 on my standalone laptop, and how do i connect, i dont know how to set up the password so i can connect
Im trying to install SQL Server 2000 and 2005 on my XP SP2 laptop. If I can do so, which versions(i.e. standard, express, desktop, etc) are compatible ?
I just recently replaced my old HP laptop with a Sony VAIO. I installed all of my development software on it, including SQL Server 2005 and the studio. At some point when I am using the studio on this new laptop, if I try to resize any of the columns to better fit the data, it crashes my laptop. I get the infamous Blue Screen of Death.
The laptop is a Sony Vaio BX670P and it has Win XP SP2 with all of the latest and greatest updates loaded on it.
The BSD blames a driver for causing the crash and points out "win32k.exe" specifically. This has never happened to me before.
I want to get into consulting (perhaps a little at first and more once I can support myself on it solely). I am about to start the purchase of a laptop soon, and I want to know which components I should focus on the most. I also want to know which version of SQL Server I should purchase.
From my studies and what I have learned (about to take the test to get my sql server 2005 certificate) I am going to assume that I want to get SQL Server 2005 developer software. However, the part that is not touched on very often, is if I am working with a client that has say, SQL Server 2005 enterprise, x64 exition, and I have developer IA64 edition, would I be able to connect and work on their server?
As far as the hardware is concerned, I am thinking I want a laptop with a large enough screen (I currently get a discount through hp where I currently work and am looking at the models that have a 17 inch screen) so I don't go blind trying to work . I am also thinking I don't need an extremely powerful processor, but I am not sure between athlon and pentium on which I Should choose since I do not have much experience in this area with sql server. I know I want at least 2GB of memory for the simple fact that sql server isnt the only thing I will be doing on the laptop and want some headroom. I also want a large enough hard drive to hold everything, but I definitely want to see if I can get a 7200rpm drive vs a 5400rpm for the simple fact that I have noticed a significant difference in read and write speeds between the 2 drives. I am not too fussed over the video card, as I am not into graphics design or high-end video games (I think world of warcraft is the most intense I have bought in years). I am also thinking that because I wont need to have a very powerful video card, that a mega powerful battery is not super important.
These so far are my thoughts. Please let me know your opinions on what I should focus on/get

I get the following error and have been trying to figure out why I keep getting it. Initially, I had placed my project under wwwroot folder and ran it under IIS and it gave this error. Then I moved it to my local C drive and same thing. I am sharing this project with two other co-workers and all our config files and code files are same...they don't get this error but I do. I checked that SQL Server Client Network Utility has TCP/IP and the 'Named Pipes' enabled. I thought maybe I have setting in the Visual Studio 2005 that I'm not aware of that's causing this problem...it can't be the server since my co-workers aren't having this error and can't be anything in the code since all of us are sharing this project through vss. I dont' think using different version of .net framework can create this error. I changed the version from 2.0 to use 1.1x and it gave same error... Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I am working for a company with approx. 5000 computers(Mix of Win2000+WinXP-PRO). I am asked to write some script or find some kind of tool or mehanism to scan the network to see how many PCs are running SQLServer ( Any version -- may be Desktop/Standard Edition). Is there any such way/script/tool anyone knows here . Please share your experience.
I wrote an application which connects to a SQL Server / MSDE 2000 DB through ADO components. Now the application doesn't start if I don't have an active network connection; as far as I try to connect, the error I get is:
[DBNETLIB][ConnectionOpen (Connect()).].........
Everything is ok if I simply plug the network cable and let the PC connect to the TCP/IP network.
I have notebook, client server application and sql express sp2 on this notebook. Also, I know domain user login/password, but I don't know any local user name/password and I don't know any sql server user name/password. Domain user is not a local administrator on this notebook.
When notebook connected to the office LAN I am working good with my app-> my sql express as a domain/user.
I'd like to work at home too. I can logon to the system (XP SP2) using domain account when notebook has no network connection. (probably OS caches something)
Is it possible to work with sql express using domain login when no network connection?
PS. old version of this software used MSDE 2000 and it was possible(!).
I am able to connect to reportserver from within the network. However I am unable to connect to reportserver from outside of network.
I am using the syntax http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:1433/reportserver where xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx denotes the ip adress and the 1433 denotes the port
Reportserver is on a windows 2003 small business server. I added exceptions to my firewalll and checked all permissions to the physical directories. I am sure it is a simple issue but cannot figure it out.
I have done a bit of searching around and cant find a clear answer to this question.
Current Setup Desktop application (c#) that connects to a SQL Server 2005 express database on the same local network as the application (currently 3 users)
It is only a very small company and has just taken on their first remote worker, but expects to take on another 6-8 over the next few months. They have asked for the database to be moved online.
The application was written in such a way that everything has been done using no stored procs, or views, it is all native SQL.
This will be my first DB hosted online and before I go ahead and do anything I just wanted to make sure what I have to do is correct, sorry if this is a very basic question, although I have been programming for a long time, I have never had the chance to do any online databases before.
Will this work. 1.Find a SQL Server 2005 Hosting company. 2.Move the database to the server. 3.Setup the users permissions. 3.Alter the connection string in the application to point to the new location.
So the only thing that would change would be a new connection string in the application preferences?
Or am I living in a dream world, because nothing is ever that simple.
One thing I am worried about is the security/visiblity of the database and data as it travels from the server to the client and back.
I am having seriuos problems getting VoIP traffic into and out of my network via the ISA server which we just newly installed.
My network topology is such that the phones i am using for the VoIP service, sitting inside my network and behind the ISA server, have to register to some remote proxy server outside my network and as soon as it registers i can begin using the service. The VoIP service is on the platform of SIP and uses udp ports 5060 and 8080.
I have permitted the necessary ports on the ISA server for the service being UDP port 5060 and 8080 but still cannot get my VoIp traffic through the server.
Please i need some help here as regards something i am supposed to do or something i am not doing right on the ISA server to permit my traffic.
I am a newbie to this Microsoft ISA server and i hope you all understand
