I am not sure if I should be posting this question in the setup forum. I apologise if this is the wrong forum. My question is simple and straightforward.
1). What are the things that I should consider while upgrading Replication from SQL 2000 to SQL 2005 Assuming
Case A : My SQL Server 2000 is the Publisher.
CASE B: My SQL Server 2000 is the Distributor
CASE C : My SQL Server 2000 is the Subscriber.
Any documents, whitepapers or KBs or related posts would be helpful. MS SMEs please share your thoughts.
Currently we use SQL 2K SP4 and snapshot replication with a Central Publisher with Remote Distributor toplogy.
I am looking to upgrade or migrate our SQL servers to SQL 2005 and was wondering what is the best way to do this for our replicated architecture?
Is the best way to run the SQL 2005 Upgrade on all 3 servers (publisher, distributor, subscriber) and should it automatically upgrade the servers including the replication components? Is there anything i should consider/watch out for when doing the upgrade and it involves replication (namely snapshot replication)?
I'm try to upgrade SQL Server 2005 Evaluation with tuned up and worked merge replication.
- I'm insert disk with licensed SQL Server 2005 Enterprise, start installation - in process, indicate instance for installing, in list of options appears I see option "ugrade" - All passes fine and go on:
After upgarde I'm get completely broken merge replication!
Moreover, such feeling that certain strange troubles with SQL Agent: all points context menu in Replication Monotor - disabled and if I try to start replication manually through jobs - too failed - with some error "agent shutdown" !
I'm try to build "clear" situation: install in Virtual PC Windows 2003 Ent SP1, SQL 2005 Eval and setup my test replication and upgrade SQL Server to Enterprise version - and get same trouble too!!!
What the best way to uprade my evaluations sql servers with replication to licensed version SQL Ent?
We are performing a SQL 2005 SP1 upgrade from SQL 2000 on our Windows 2003 SP1 Standard Edition.
When we run the upgrade, we got a error "Upgrade Advisor Return -1" as a pop-up window.
When we run the Upgrade Advisor separately, we get this error :
===================================
Common Language Runtime detected an invalid program.
===================================

We are in a lost for solutions. We do hope to hear from anyone asap...
We are running a test upgrade form sql 2000 standard edition 32 bit to sql 2005 developer edition 32bit. Followed through all the steps and specified the account(SA priveleges and currently used by the 2000 version) and is the local admin on the box for the services and the setup seemed to move fine, except for when it got to the point of installing database services - This is the error message that I got:
MSSQLServer could not be started. Verify you have sufficient priveleges to start system services. The was no choice but to hit cancel and then the set up progressed with a final message of 'SEtup failed'.
Here is a portion of the error log: Attempting to recover in-doubt distributed transactions involving Microsoft Distributed Transaction Coordinator (MS DTC). This is an informational message only.

I have the following scenario. An application using SQL Server 2000 SP3 on the server side and clients using MSDE 2000A (SP3a) on the client machine. Since the client is offline quite often merge replication is used to keep the clients in sync.
Now we try to upgrade to SQL Server 2005 SP1. The publisher and distributor upgrade (on the same box) worked fine and all clients could still synchronize. Fine :-)
Now we try to upgrade the clients to SQL Express SP1. Now the problems start :-(
1) After the upgrade the entry within the Synchronization Manager is gone (we can overcome this by using sp_MSregistersubscription or by manually disable and enable Synchronization manager on the subscription properties)
2) Initial Synchronization (takes a long time but) works fine, if I apply changes to the subscriber or force a reinitialize all following synchronization will fail. With the following messages:
Error messages: The merge process could not clean up the subscription to 'tstvmw23':'TestBase:'TestBase'. (Source: MSSQL_REPL, Error number: MSSQL_REPL-2147200965) Get help: http://help/MSSQL_REPL-2147200965 New request is not allowed to start because it should come with valid transaction descriptor. (Source: MSSQLServer, Error number: 3989) Get help: http://help/3989
Remark the test system I use is a nearly empty db (only with full schema and a few lookup tables) with 15MB. The same error occures if I create a new database an subscribe to the same publication.
Please help otherwise I'm forced to step back to MSDE.
I am out of brain cells. I can not figure out how to upgrade instances of sql express to sql 2005 or even add an instance of sql 2005. I have installed/upgraded everything else (SSMS, etc.) to SQL 2005. I am dazed and confused. I don't even know where to start in explaining what I have tried and done. I have 303 log files going back to 3/27/2007 from various attempts. Where do I start in figuring this debacle out???
I currently have SQL Server Management Studio Express 2005 and would like to upgrade my machine to SQL Developer 2005 as easily as possible. Keeping my databases and such.
Any recommendations on the best way to do this would be greatly appreciated.
I am trying to upgrade SQL Server Express 2005 Report Server to SQL 2005 Standard and it fails with the following error:
SQL Server Setup did not have the administrator permissions required to copy a file: C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.8Reporting ServicesReportServer ssrvpolicy.config. To continue, verify that the file exists, and either grant administrator permissions to the account currently running Setup or log in with an administrator account. Then run SQL Server Setup again.
After I click OK on the message, this whole path where the upgrade is bieng installed dissapears C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.8Reporting Services. The error is a bit missleading because the file that it is trying to copy rssrvpolicy.config does appear in that upgrade folder so I am not sure why it would try to copy a file that has already been copied.
I was able to upgrade the Database Engine instance fine but can't upgrade Reporting Services due to that error. I have verified that the account that ran the setup had the administrator permissions. Your prompt reply to my question would be greatly appreciatted.

Does anybody know about this problem? Some more information about the system: W2K3 R2 Enterprise Edition WSS3.0 MOSS2007 previously installed SQL Server 2005 Express Edition (Version 9.00.2047.00)
I've been reading and looking over what to do for my situation for several days. I need to ask and see if I can get a clear answer.
My Scenario: I have a SQL Server 2005 Eval installed that is currently running with live data. I need to upgrade that to a recently-purchased full version. I have several databases set up. I have ready the article 914158 that states it will fail. It's still running so I can access everything. If I restart or stop the service I'm screwed.
I'm getting this, after upgrading from 2000 to 2005.Replication-Replication Distribution Subsystem: agent (null) failed.The subscription to publication '(null)' has expired or does notexist.The only suggestions I've seen are to dump all subscriptions. Sincewe have several dozen publications to several servers, is there adecent way to script it all out, if that's the only suggestion?Thanks in advance.

We need to update our SQL 2000 to 2005. We plan to use it on a computer with 2 processors. Actually we update 2 servers that form a cluster, running web applications. I think there is no update version from 2000 to 2005. So we have to buy 2 full versions of SQL 2005? For our case it's probably best to buy SQL 1CPU version? But we have 2 processors on each server. Is there a CPU license? Do we have to buy 2 SQL 2005 1CPU plus 2 licenses for 1 (more) CPU? Sorry, I am not so familiar with SQL. I am not the guy making the upgrade. I just have to order the correct version and licenses.
We currently have a deployment of SQL 2000 on three production 32 Bit servers. One server to house the Data, one server for Analysis Service Cubes, and one for Reporting Services. At the time of this deployment, this was Microsoft's recommendation.
If we upgrade to SQL 2005 and also upgrade our systems to 64 Bit systems. What are the recommendations for Analysis Services and Reporting Services? Do they still require separate servers or can they reside on the same server?
I have a Windows 2003 server running both a MSDE and SQL 2005 Database. I want to upgrade SQL to SP1. Does anyone know if upgrding SQL 2005 to SP1 will affect the MSDE?
Hello, I have a project where I have to upgrade SQL 2000 to 2005. When we are upgrading we are going to move to new server so server name will change. Most of our applications have a hard coded connection string. Applications are developed with Classic ASP, .NET 1.1 and 2.0 as well. Now the question is what is the best way to do this? Changing all the connection string will be a very painful task as we have many applications. Can anyone suggest a way where we can achieve this without changing all the connection strings? Thanks in advance. Tareq
