I am about to make the transition from Win98 and Access 97 to Win2000 and SQl 7.0.
I was hoping for some basic/strategic advice on how to make the transition as painless as possible.
I have already installed Win2000 and SQL 7 and they seem to be coexisting. But, is there anything I should know or famialarize myself with straigth away to hit the ground running... Many Thanks >>
Running SQL Server 7 Enterprise edition SP1 on NT 4.0 server and installed it on 2 Toshiba laptops 1) running Windows 2000 Professional Beta 3, 2) Windows 2000 Professional RC2. Neither one can login to the NT 4.0 domain (Odessa) which is the PDC- get error message that domain not found. Can login to local copy and then map a drive to the domain and utilize all functions etc. as both users have administrative privileges on the NT 4.0 server.
Because of this we can't (and we have had 3 different MS tech support people working with us) can't get either a push or pull subscription from the Odessa SQLServer databases to either one of the laptops. Continually getting OS error 5, Access denied.
We have 4 other laptops running Win98 getting pull subscriptions with no problems.

Hi Everybody, I am looking for help on how to proceed. I have only 1 drive that has Win 2000 Prof o/s. I am installing SQL 7. Should I install to the same partition or create a new one for SQL, and are they compatable. I know Win 2k o/s post dates SQL 7. Would SQL 2000 be better? or Win98SE w/SQL 7? The main reason I ask is that I don't want to lose any of the stuff that's on the Win 2k o/s already. Any advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks ! Phil
When I installed SQL Server 7.0 on Windows 2000 Server, I got "File Protection Error" saying Windows 2000 system files are being updated by other version.... to restore the Windows 2000 files insert CD.
The same error I received when i tried to install SP3 of SQL Server 7.0, is there any compatibility issues? I canceled the above error and the Server works well after installation.
I have a SQL Server 2005 in use locally. I'm trying to connect a remote location. Using WinXP Pro, I can connect just fine. However, when I try the same connect string on a Win2000 or WinXP Home computer, I cannot connect.
All these computers are plugged into the same network (hub even).
I've updated all the computers to MDAC 2.8.
To connect, I open the ODBC Administrator in Windows, enter my SQL Server IP and instance name: xx.xx.xx.xxabc, change the network library to TCP/IP and enter my username and password.
This works great on the WinXP Pro machines.
This is the error I get on the other machines:
[Microsoft][OBBC SQL Server Driver][TCP/IP Sockets]ConnectionOpen(Connect()).
[Microsoft][OBBC SQL Server Driver][TCP/IP Sockets]Specified SQL server not found.

I am interested if anyone can point me to "best practices" regarding thelevel of administrative authority a SQL Server database administrator shouldhave. Alternatively, I'd be interested hearing what level of authority onthe server you/your SQL Admin has. I have been told that in order to dotheir job, a database admin needs full admin authority on the operatingsystem in a Microsoft environment, but I find that hard to believe.Thanks.
I have my SQL7 server running on NT4 server. Currently the transaction log backups are on the same server but I want to back these up to a Win2000 server in another building. When creating a Backup Device in Enterprise Manager on the NT server it cannot see the drive but not the folder I have created on the Win2000 server, even though I have shared this folder out and set the permissions. Any help would be appreciated.. Thanks
When upgrading servicepack for SQL Server 7 in a Windows 2000 cluster, do I need to uncluster the servers before installing SP? Install on Node 1 first?
