SQL 2005 Sp2 Works But SQL Maint Studio And The Instance Still Report As 9.0.1399
Jan 25, 2008
SQL 2005 SP2 install succeeds but in SQL Maintenance Studio the instance is still 9.0.1399. Also when I interogate using TSQL it is reported as 9.0.1399
Here's the log (I did try it a couple of times)

I'm having a strange problem with this but I know (and admit) that the problem is on my PC and nowhere else. My firewall was causing a problem because I was unable to PING the database server, switching this off gets a successful PING immediately. The most useful utility to date is running netstat -an in the command window. This illustrates all the connections that are live and ports that are being listed to. I can establish a connection both by running

Both these utilities show as establishing a connection in netstat so I am able to connect the database server every time, this worked throughout yesterday and has continued this morning.
The problem is when I attempt to use SQL Server Management Studio. When I attempt to connect to tcp:sql5.hostinguk.net, 1433 nothing shows in netstat at all. There is an option to encrypt the connection in the connection properties tab in management studio, when I enable this I do get an entry in netstat -an, see below:
Amost as if it's trying the different ports but you get this time_wait thing. The error message is more meaningful and hopefull because I get:
A connection was successfully established with the server, but then an error occurred during the pre-login handshake. (provider: SSL Provider, error: 0 - The certificate chain was issued by an authority that is not trusted.) (.Net SqlClient Data Provider)
I would expect this as the DNS has not been advised to encrypt the conection.
This is much better than the : Login failed for user 'COX10289'. (.Net SqlClient Data Provider) that I get, irrespective of whether I enter a password or not.
This is on a XP machine trying to connect to the remote webhosting company via the internet.
I can ping the server
I have enabled shared memory and tcp/ip in protocols, named pipes and via are disabled
I do not have any aliases set up
No I do not force encryption
I wonder if you have any further suggestions to this problem?
Hi all,I'm having a big problem here. I can't seem to connect to a database of MSSQL Server 2005... Here is what I've did:1. Under the Server Explorer>Data Connections. Right click and choose "Add Connection..."2. Data Source was "Microsoft SQL Server Database File". Click OK.3. I browse to the database in the MSSQL.2/MSSQL/Data folder.4. Click on the "Advanced" button, and change the default DataSource from .SQLEXPRESS to .MSSQLSERVER. Click OK5. Received this error: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 setting SQL Server does not allow remote connections. (provider: SQL Network Interfaces, error: 25 - Connection string is not valid) Only .SQEXPRESS that I was able to connect to... i've tried the solution from Microsoft, opened SQL Server 2005 Surface Area Configuration and enabled "Local and remote connections", checked the option "Using both TCP/IP and named pipes" but it didn't help. This is frustrating because I can't get the Membership provider, login to work on my host. Please help. Thank you very much,Kenny.
i have installed SQL client instance on my Desktop "Machine-A", and i used to connect to SQLServer2000 running on another "Machine-B" by using valid username and password.
i created a DTS package and i used to run it. im very confused how the communication happens between the two machines and which process run where and which initiates which and which machine allocates waht resources. im really interested to know all these things. if any one know plz help me out.
I've created an SSRS report in Visual Studio 2005 which runs fine in the preview. I have a list of server names which when clicked on expands to a list of databases on the chosen server. When I click on a database it then queries a table of information and displays information on that database. The query is something like:
SELECT * FROM MyDB.dbo.DB_info WHERE ServerName = @ServerName and DBname = @DBname
This works fine in preview mode. When I run it in SQL Management Studio via the Custom Reports menu it only works when the chosen server is the one that contains MyDB. I've run a trace and can see the query being issued when I use preview mode. However, when I run it from SSMS I don't see any query being issued to the database. This seems strange as it does return data in the instance described above and if I put MyDB into single-user mode it then complains that it can't access it so it is obviously trying to communicate with the database but not showing up on the trace. I've selected all events and only put a filter on the database name.
Seeing as all of the information is in the same table it seems odd that they query only works when the server name is the one where the database is held and that the query is not shown up in a trace. I'm running the report under the same credentials too.
I'm completely baffled by this so I'd be very grateful if someone could explain what might be happening here.
I have SSRS in Visual Studio. I created a query that works fine in SQL Server Management Studio, but when pasted into Visual Studio I get the error "An expression of non-boolean type specified in a context where a condition is expected, near '('.
Here is the query. Can anyone help on why this isn't working? Thanks.

I have encountered an error (as shown below) when attempting to install the SQL Server 2005 Express Edition 9.00.1399.06 on on my XP SP2 pc.
the file: "C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL Server90Setup BootstrapLOGFilesSummary.txt"
show the following messages:

Maybe that's not a fatal error, but the SQLExpress service does not get installed.
Public Shared Function ConvertLETDatetoUTC(ByVal DateLETFormat As SqlDateTime) As DateTime
' Add your code here
Dim DateLETFormatToConvert As Date
DateLETFormatToConvert = DateLETFormat.Value
Return DateLETFormatToConvert.ToUniversalTime
End Function End Class
select ConvertLETDatetoUTC('2007-06-25 10:00:00')
Now the problem is that the function works properly on my sql server instanc but in the moment I deploy the same code on the sql server instance on a remote machine the conversion doesn't work that means that date I pass is not converted.
On the SQl server machine there the .net framework 1.1 and 2.0 ...
I really don't know what to check to solve the problem .. some idea?
I am basically new as far as SQl server 2005 concern. I want to try out reporting services provided by sql server 2005. That is make report using sql server 2005 and call that report from web or window application.
Please guide me in doing so or give me some useful link. Thanks
I am creating a sql 2005 maintenance plan backup job. How can i specify 'write log files to some particular drive'. I am new to sql server 2005 Please advice
We have an application that uses MS SQL 2005 to stored information related to user internet usage. It is storing a large amout of data on a daily bases. The application is set to create a new logging database, when the current database reaches 10GB, then it will start logging to the new database.
A new database is getting created at the rate of about 1 new db every 48hrs and the backup maintenance plan for the user databases, is not picking up the new database. I have to remember to refresh the maintenance job so, the new database gets picked up and is included in the daily backup.
Is there a way to have the backup maintenance job refesh itself? Or possibly a stored procedure or some sort of scripting option to do this?
Please provide information if you have a way of doing this. Thanks.
For the first time, I want to set up the configuration of my SQL Server Management Studio Express (SSMSE) to allow me in doing the non-User-Instance/ADO.NET 2.0 programming from my VB 2005 Express. The SSMSE and VB 2005 Express are in my Windows XP Pro PC that is part of our NT 4 LAN System in our office. I read the article "How to configure SQL Server 2005 to allow remotre connections" in http://support.microsoft.com/kb/914277/ about (i) "Enable remote connections for SQL Server 2005 Express", (ii) Enable the SQL Server Browser service", (iii) Create exception in Windows Firewall, and (iv) Create an exception for the SQL Server Browser service in Windows Firewall. I entered the SQL Server Surface Area Configuration and I could not decide what options I should take for doing the non-User-Instance/ADO.NET 2.0 programming from my VB 2005 Express. I have the following questions on the page of "Minimize SQL Server 2005 Surface Area": (1) I saw "Configure Surface Area for localhost [change computer]". I clicked on [change computer] and I saw the following: Select Computer The Surface Area Configuration of this surface area of this computer or a remote computer. Specify a computer to configure: O Local computer O Remote computer Should I choose the "Local computer" or the "Remote computer" option? (2) Below the "Configure Surface Area for localhost [change computer]", I clicked on "Surface Area Configuration for Service and Connections", Select a component and then configure its services and connections: |-| SQLEXPRESS |-| Database Engine Service I picked => Remote Connection On the right-hand side, there are: O Local connections only O Local and remorte connections O Using TCP/IP O Using named pipes only O Using both TCP/IP and named pipes Should I choose O Local and remorte connections and O Using named pipes only?
Please help and tell me what options I should choose in (1) and (2).
I just installed SQL Server 2005 Enterprise edition from my company's DVD. It was installed with the setting of using both Integrated windows authenitication as well as basic named authenication. I installed all the options too: Database Engine, Analysis Services, Reporting Services, SQL Server compact edition, and Integration Services. When I look at services there are: SQL Server Integration Services, SQL Server Analysis Services, SQL Server Reporting Services, and SQL Server Browser. All of which are running. Something that took me offguard was the installation did not ask me to provide an SA password. Other than that, the install looked like it went good.
I was able to connect to the local instance of the SQL Server 2005 using the SQL Server Management Studio. I could connect with SA, or connect with Integrated Windows Authenication. Whoohoo. Off and running! As a matter of fact, for the SA account I could use any password and it would still log me in.
First thing I did was I went in to the copy wizard to attempt to copy a database from a server on our network to my local box. First it asked me for the remote server. Then when I specified my local instance in the wizard, the wizard complained that my local instance was NOT SQL Server 2005. Doh! This I didn't understand. I figured maybe I need to check for MS updates. Sure enough, I found that ther was a SP2 and then a hot-fix for that SP2. I applied both. Now I cannot connect from SQL Server Management studio to my local instance of SQL Server 2005 database server. I get the following error:
"An error 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: Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 - Could not open a connection to SQL Server) (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 2)"
However, I went in to see what other services I could connect to, and here's the results:
Analysis Services : OK! Reporting Services (Windows Auth/Basic/Forms) : NG "The reporting Services Instance could not be found (Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.UI.RSClient)" SQL Server Compact Edition : NG "The database cannot be found. Check the path to the database. [ File Name = CCG092 ] (SQL Server Compact Edition ADO.NET Data Provider) Integration Services : OK!
I can connect to other SQL Server databases on our network. However, just not my local one. No one on the network can connect to me either.
I even turned off my windows firewall and still no luck connecting to my own.
So something really went wrong when I applied SP2, however, admittedly from the error message when I tried to use the copy wizard, something was probably already wrong.
I am running 2005 SP2 (It is the SP2 refresh as I downloaded the SP2 on 3/15/07) and I can't get the .txt maint plans to delete. The job completes successfully; however, the old .txt files are still there. I found this technote: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/938085 although I don't receive the error message in the KB. The report does have "New Component Output" as the 1st line in the report. I still don't see how deleting the 1st line of an already run job (the report) will affect a new run of the job.
Also, I checked the version of the Microsoft.SqlServer.MaintenancePlanTasks.dll and it is at 9.00.3043.00 (which is the SP2 Refresh) in KB 933508 ( http://support.microsoft.com/kb/933508 ).
I have several SQL/2005 servers and they all have this problem. Any help would be appreicated...
When I launch Visual Studio 2005 and choose to start a new project...I expect to see "Report Model" as an available template (at least that is what my book says).
How can I install this?
Why is it missing? Is it due to the order of my installations? I installed RS first then Visual Studio.
Has anybody ever had VS2005 sometimes crash when deploying reports? It only happens once and awhile, but it is annoying. I was hoping this would go away with service pack 1, but it didn't.
Another problem that I thought would be fixed is when you try to close VS2005 after working on reports and it states "Cannot close because an active modal is active" occasionally.
I have a new named instance (SQL Server 2005 x64 SP2 (Build 3159) Developer edition) setup with dynamic port selection. A default instance was also running on the server prior to the named instance setup.
SQL Server Browser service is running. Remote connections are configured on the named instance. But still remote clients can only connect when the port number is specified after the instance name (servernameinstancename,9999). Without the port number, "error 26 - Error locating Server/instance specified" is thrown.
Doesn't the SQL Server Browser service eliminate the need for clients to specify the port number? What am I missing?
i ran my project on the visual studio 2005. but when i posted the same folder in teh wwwroot folder, it gave me the following error: An attempt to attach an auto-named database for file C:PreranaOnCitoRunningFoldercitoason1606App_DataDatabase.mdf failed. A database with the same name exists, or specified file cannot be opened, or it is located on UNC share. Can anybody help me show the way to get through it?? Any relevant comment/ suggestion is appreciated!!
I have an ASP.NET/ADO.NET page i wrote. It was based off of the development database during most development, and it switched over seamlessly to the production database.
Except for yesterday, when i went back to edit the page. It simply stopped returning results on my queries. To see if it was caused by bad values being passed to the sqldatasource, i tried it in the "Configure Data Source..." window, and it returns zero rows. When passing all of the exact same parameters to the same procedure in the same DB engine, even using the same login information, it works.
Just not in my ADO.NET app anymore...
Can anyone tell me what the hell could be going on here, please? I already rebuilt the page from an older version this morning, being very minimal on changes, and the last thing i changed before it stopped working was the connection string... *BUT* I have triple-checked that against the canon string we have always used in every working copy.
I'm losing a lot of hair over this . Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I'm using Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 to design reports. Is there any way to use one single image as background for a whole report-page? I only managed to set seperate background images for page header, body and footer, so the only 2 possibilities to solve this problem would be to either
* divide the image into 3 parts so that they fit exactly to the page parts or * not use any page header and footer.
Is there another possibility that I've missed?
Any help is highly appreciated! Thanks in advance,
I've gotten to the point of publishing the new reports on the SSRS server and have run into the following problem.
I use a field in the primary report with the "Go to report" action to open up another report (also published) for more details. It works properly from within ReportBuilder (2.0) using the report server and I can go to and from the secondary report as I expect. Its passing the correct parameters to the second report and its runs.
But when I use the reports from the SSRS web, the Go To link no longer works. Mouse hover shows its still a link but clicking goes no where. I can run both reports independently from SSRS and they still work.
I've tried this in IE and Chrome with no luck in either. I also poked around at Compatability view and popup blocker but nothing made any difference.
WHERE (student_id LIKE '%') AND (register_id LIKE '%') AND (register_group LIKE '%') AND
week_no = Case @Week when null Then '#' Else @Week End
the idea is if they don't enter a number it would bring up all records. This works in mangaement studio but c# brings up the error sql server doesn't support udt on excecution of the sql. This is sql server 2000. Any ideas why this doesn't work and how to fix it.
I have an SQL statement that, when run through SQL Server management studio works fine. However, when I run it on my ASP page, it doesn’t update the data! I have tried both as a stored procedure and as a simple commandText update statement. All I do is simly update the value of a column based on another column – nothing particularly complex: update customer set dateChanged = System.DateTime.Now.ToString("dd-MMM-yyyy"), CURRSTAT = 'Active',custType = case WHEN cust_Changing_To IS NOT NULL THEN cust_Changing_To ELSE custType END,cust_Changing_To = NULLFROM customers_v WHERE CURRSTAT = 'Changing'
As you can see, nothing that complex. The line that is causing the problem is the case: custType = case WHEN cust_Changing_To IS NOT NULL THEN cust_Changing_To ELSE custType END all it does is if another nullable integer column is not null, sets it to the value of that column, else it retains its existing value. Like I say, this works in Management studio, but I cannot get it to execute programatticaly from an asp page. No exceptions are being thrown, it just doesn’t update the data. Any ideas? Thanks
I have a stored procedure which is run through MS Access (yuck). It does not appear to fail, but it does not populate certain tables, and is also rather complex. I did not write it, and am trying my best to fix it. However, when I run the same procedure with the same parameters from within Management Studio (database state is the same, I restore from backup before trying out each execution) it populates the tables correctly. I have profiled both executions (from MS and from Access) and it is running with the same NTUsername, and thus the same permissions. The process used to work and then some changes were made to the DB which seem to have broken it from Access. As far as I know, the Access code has not changed, although it may have done so. The proc call from Access uses the same parameters, and does not throw an error, although it does not appear to close the connection to the DB (I'm looking into this). Access uses an ODBC connection to connect to SQL Server.
Hi,I have an interesting scenario. I have a SQL Server 2000 Standard Edition instance running on Computer A. I'm trying to access it through computers B and C.Computer B has Sql Server 2005 Express Edition installed and I was able to use its Management Studio and connect to instance on Computer A.Computer C has SQL Server 2000 Standard Edition installed. When I try to connect to the instance on Computer A, I get connection failed message.I checked some settings. Both TCP/IP and Named pipes are enabled on the instance in A. The TCP/IP port is set to 1433 for both client and server.Please give me some ideas as to how I can solve this problem. -Thanks
