View 11 Replies View RelatedBest Practices White Paper On Pre-Installation Server Setup
Oct 17, 2007Evening,
I am very well versed in the proper way to set up a SQL Server server prior to installation.
In this I mean, the proper process in placing your MDF, LDF and NDF(s) on seperate spindles/discs and also to place TempDB on its own spindle/disc and such.
There are numerous other points to cover in setting up the server based on memory, security, processor and such but I am sure you understand.
What I am looking for is the link(s) to the whitepapers discussing these Best Practices methodologies for pre-installation setup.
I looked on the Best Practices page but did not seem to find a doc that contains all the Best Practices that should be followed, if possible of course, in setting up a server prior to the SQL Server 2005 installation process.
Can anyone please point me to a link(s)/doc(s) that describe what I am looking for.
I need to pass this information down to other members of my team.
Thanks and have a great day!
We Have A New White Paper On Connectivity!
Jan 10, 2007Dear Forum Members,
We've been working on a white paper targeting SSIS connectivity which we hope will help answer some of the key questions in the following areas :
What are the SSIS components and their support level for ADO.NET, ODBC, and OleDB?
How to deal with 64-bit connectors? what is supported, what is not?
Special sections on popular data sources such as SAP, Oracle, DB2, Flat File, XML.
A comprehensive list of data sources and available connectors from Microsoft and other 3rd parties.
You'll also find answers to why some of the things are the way they are today.
Note that this white paper is currently under official editing and publishing in Microsoft. It'll be a while before it goes public officially, but I wanted to share it with you, as the rich content it offers can't really wait. You'll find the paper in my blog, which is really a wiki site about SSIS connectivity fully open to public, so feel free to add/update content in there as you feel proper, and help the SSIS community with your wisdom!
A lot of feedback went into this white paper not only from Microsoft, but also from some of our partners and MVPs. I'd like to extend special thanks to Bob Beauschemin for authoring this challenging white paper.
Enjoy!

BPA Vs. Security Best Practices Paper
Jul 17, 2007
I would like to refer to the following technical article
SQL Server 2005 Security Best Practices - Operational and Administrative Tasks
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/sql/2005/sql2005secbestpract.mspx
Among best practices for SQL Server service accounts on page 8, it is recommended to 'use a separate account for each service'. I created separate account for each service as advised and assign account to relevant Windows group created for each SQL Server service during SQL setup.
Now when I run Best Practices Analyzer, its report seemed to contradict what the above article said. For example, BPA reports excerpts:
"We recommend that the service SQLBrowser on host MachineName be run under Network Service Account". I get similar recommendation for SQLSERVERAGENT account as well. Most importantly, it recommends that MSFTESQL be run under SQL Server Service Account.
Can anyone of you shed some light on it?
Thanks,
Asaf
Printing To Different Paper Trays
Sep 10, 2007I'm trying to find out if there is any way I can embed anything in a report to tell it which paper tray to print to. So far, the only references I've found to such a capability are involved in using the Printer Delivery Extension. Does anyone know if this is indeed possible with that, or by any other means? Thanks!

Setting Paper Size To Be Default A4
May 30, 2006Hi,
I have been trying to configure the Paper Size to be default "A4" instead of "Letter".
My Report is configured to 21cm x 29,7cm and margins 1,5cm.
The Body is configured to 18cm x 26,7cm.
Everything looks fine in the Preview but the Size is always "Letter". The printers are all configured for A4 printing.
Is there a way to set these default values in the Page Setup Toolbar or is it supposed to figure it out?
Thanks,

Print Reports On Legal Paper
Jun 30, 2006
While working in the report project in Visual Studio, I set my Report Layout to 14w x 8.5h with .25 margins on all sides, and the page size to be 13.5in (to take into account the margins). When I print from the report viewer control in Preview mode, the report prints as it should, in Landscape on Legal paper without me changing any settings.
When I deploy the same report to the report server, and print from there, the report prints in Landscape on Letter paper (which causes some columns to print on a second page).
Why is there a difference in the two environments? Is there something I'm missing?
The goal is for the users to be able to print the report correctly without having them change any print settings in the dialog.

Choose Paper Source By PDF Page Size
Jul 31, 2007Does anyone know how to get SQL Reporting Services, when it runs a report, to tell Adobe Acrobat to "Choose Paper Source by PDF page size", which is an option in the print dialog box?
When I, or a user, runs a report in Visual Studio or live:
The report is set to render on 8.5" x 14" paper (legal)
The report is exported to a PDF
The report opens in Adobe Acrobat
The report is formatted on the screen to fit 8.5" x 14" paper (legal)
When "Print" is selected, the Preview has it on 8.5" x 11" paper (letter)
If I select "Choose Paper Source by PDF page size", then it fits it to the 8.5" x 14" paper (legal)
How do I tell it to "Choose Paper Source by PDF page size"?

Automatically Print Multiple Copies Of The Same Report With Different Label On Letter Size Paper
Dec 31, 2006Hi,
I am new to reporting services and I'm really stuck on a design problem. Can someone please help me?
I would like to design my own print function. When a user clicks on the print icon (preferably the one that came with reporting services), the report is automatically printed twice, once with "For Person A" and the second time with "For Person B" on it. It doesn't matter where these two labels are placed on the page. These two reports need to be printed on letter-size paper regardless of user's selection. How do I do this with minimum amount of code?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
How To Apply SQL Server 2005 Express SP1 To The Version Of SQL Server 2005 Express Which Installs With Visual Studio 2005?
Aug 8, 2006When I installed VS 2005, it installed the default version of SQL Server 2005 Express that ships with Visual Studio 2005 installer media.
How can apply SQL Server 2005 Express SP1 to update this existing instance?
Currently, if I run this query:
SELECT @@version
I get the following:
Microsoft SQL Server 2005 - 9.00.1399.06 (Intel X86) Oct 14 2005 00:33:37 Copyright (c) 1988-2005 Microsoft Corporation Express Edition on Windows NT 5.1 (Build 2600: Service Pack 2)
After applying SP1, I should get 9.00.2047.00.
Should I just go to this link and download & install the SQL Server 2005 Express Edition SP1:

Sql Server 2005 Compact Edition 3.1 RDA Synchronization Fails On Table With Index In Sql Server 2005 Database
Jan 21, 2008We have been using Sql Server 2005 Compact Edition 3.1 RDA synchronization method successfully on Sql Server 2000 database. Recently we moved the database to Sql Server 2005, sync doesn't work anymore, it just hangs on one table. On further investigation, we found out that it's the index on that table that causes this. We removed the index, it works fine. We are wondering the root cause, removing the index is not a solution for us. Any thoughts?. Thanks.

Upgrade From SQL Server 2005 Eval Copy To SQL Server 2005 Standard Edition
Jul 23, 2007
I have a SQL Server 2005 evaluation that has already been installed and setup on a server. I believe it originally had a 180 day eval. There have been numerous databases and users added as well as maintenance plan created...
The eval was put on the machine as an interim solution while waiting for paper work and order processiing things to happen. All the paperwork and ordering... have been completed and I now have the real SQL Server 2005 Standard Edition license key ....
I am very new to SQL Server and need to determine ...
1. Can I update the eval copy to become permanently licensed?
2. Would I want to upgrade the eval to permanent? Will I lose any capabilities by keeping the current eval setup?
If it is reasonable to keep the eval setup
3. How do I go about entering the license key to make it permanent?
If it is necessary to install the new Standard Edition...
4. How do I install it while maintaining the already defined databases, data, users, maintenance plan...
Thanks in advance for any and all help.

Cannot Upgrade SQL Server 2005 Express To SP2 After Upgrading SQL Server 2005 Enterprise To SP2
Feb 18, 2008How do I upgrade Sql Server 2005 Express to SP2 if I also have SQL Server 2005 Enterprise SP2 already on the same box? I installed Sql Server 2005 Enterprise first, then applied SP2, then installed Visual Studio 2008 (which installed SQL Server 2005 Express).

Exporting/Importing Database Data (Sql Server 2005 To Sql Server 2005)
Nov 5, 2007I'm really new to the whole database deal (as well as VB.net) - specifically with the capabilities surrounding VB and SQL Server 2005. My question is open to any recommendations...
What I have is an application that a user uses to create 'new' products. They are presented a form to enter the information regarding the product they wish to create. They enter the details of the product and also locate an image that represents the product, too. Currently, this application saves the product information (including binary image data) into a SQL Server 2005 Express Edition database. This application and database reside on a client pc. What I need to do is to be able save updated and newly created product data into a file of some sort. That file will make its way to a memory stick (USB) and then be transported to a 'field' machine. Quite simply, what is the best way to do this? Are there walk-throughs on this sort of thing? The target database is also SQL Server 2005. I thought I'd post this question on here to get the best design ideas... Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Problems Upgrading SQL Server 2005 X64 Evaluation To SQL Server 2005 X64 Enterprise
