SQL Configuration Manager And SQL Server Surface Area Configuration Tools
May 2, 2007
I have just finished installing SQL 2005 Ent Edition on Win 2000 Adv Server, SQL2005 SP2, and SP2 Hotfix KB934458. After the installation, I could see and configure all services via SQL Configuration Manager and SQL Server Surface Area Configuration tools. This worked for a couple of days and now both configuration tools no longer detect SQL2005 components. SQL Server Surface Area Configuration issued an error that said "No SQL Server 2005 components were found on specified computer. Either no components are installed, or you are not an administrator on this computer. (SQLAC)". SQL Configuration Manager did not list any installed services. I don€™t know what caused this. Anyone has any idea? Please help! Below is the Installation Report which shows installed components.
===================================
The following components are installed on this server
I am currently running a Windows Vista Enterprise OS platform using SQL Express, whenever i add a user to the administrator group using the SQL Server Surface Area Configuration UI, each time i click on the link to add New Administrator, the previous administrator i just added still appears on the left - just as if i never added this user previously.
Is there a way around this issue? or is this a SQL Express problem, because i also tried doing it with SQL Server Enterprise edition on a Win2K3 SP2 box and it gives the same results.
Sorry for the annoying. I would like to the configuration settings for the surface area. There's an option which able to let us change computer (whether is local computer or remote computer). Let say I put my own computer's name (Hans as example) for configuration as the remote compute, it's work fine to me. However, if I put my remote computer's name, it displays this error message to me.
Error :
Computer Tomato does not exist on the network, or the computer cannot be configured remotely. Verify that the remote computer has the required Windows Management Instrumentation components and then try again.
I am sure that the remote computer is working since I am able to ping the remote computer and test on telnet as well. But why it seems that surface area can't detect my remote computer. Hope can get some resistance from everyone here. Thanx alot.
Dear All, i'm trying to publish a maintenance plan in sql server 2005.

please let me know how to ON those services. i've read and followed the instructions but i was unable to find where exactly to start.
please guide me in this regard
my version of OS is sql server 2000 professional
my version of sql server is :Microsoft SQL Server 2005 - 9.00.1399.06 (Intel X86) Oct 14 2005 00:33:37 Copyright (c) 1988-2005 Microsoft Corporation Enterprise Edition on Windows NT 5.2 (Build 3790: Service Pack 1)

Hi, we are having a strange problem when trying to configure the surface area of my sql server 2005. When we open the tool the only nodes that appears are: Reporting Services and Integration Services. But the Database Engine node is not showing. What do we have to do to access the Database Engine node and configure Remote Connection.
Up til now i've been working with Access, i have only got a few weeks experience with SQL, so dont eat me. I set up a SQL Database, and placed it into my site, etc, set up all the connection strings. It connects fine, but cannot log in. It tells me; Cannot open database "C:USERSJAREDDESKTOPSTYXSTYX - BUILD 2APP_DATASTYXDB.MDF" requested by the login. The login failed.Login failed for user 'Webdev01Jared'. I'm running Vista (x86), and SQL Server 2005 Express SP2, and i'm aware that Vista by default does not automatically enable remote access in SQLExpress for local admins. So i go into Surface Area Configuration. I've read about it, and it's two steps, Click "Add New Administrator", then select the priveleges in the left box and click the button to put them in the right box. Simple enough, and it works, sure, click the button, it moves across, done. But. Hit OK. It's done nothing, i still cant connect, and the cherry on top; open up the SAC again to check and there is nothing in the right box. It's exactly how it was before i changed it. The problem is definitely this, and not the account, as i can log in for SQL Management Studio just fine, with the same windows authentication credentials. Thanks in advance.
I want to send mails from SQL Server 2005 Management Studio Express for which I referred to the article at http://www.databasejournal.com/features/mssql/article.php/3626056. I could successfully do the steps from step 1 to step 6 listed at the above URL. In fact, when I sent a test mail (as cited in step 6), SQL Server displays the message Mail queued though the mail didn't get delivered. The mail server address I am using is smtp.mail.yahoo.co.uk.
But when I expand the Management node in the Management Studio Express GUI, I don't find Database Mail as a child node. In fact, there are only 2 child nodes under the Management node - SQL Server Logs & Activity Monitor.
Why isn't Database Mail listed under the Management node? What am I missing here?
Also when I open Surface Area Configuration & then click Surface Area Configuration for Services and Connections, the following error gets generated:
Computer localhost does not exist on the network, or the computer cannot be configured remotely. Verify that the remote computer has the required Windows Management Instrumentation components and then try again. (SQLSAC)
Additional Information:
The type initializer 'System.Management.ManagementPath' threw an exception. (System.Management) Unable to cast COM object of type 'System.Management.WbemDefPath' to interface type 'System.Management.IWbemPath'. The operation failed because the QueryInterface call on the COM component for the interface with IID '(38C15AF2-736C-477E-9E51-238AF8667DCC)' failed due to the following error: No such interface supported (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80004002 (E_NOINTERFACE)). (System.Management) When I click Surface Area Configuration for Features, it generates the error cited above but from the first bulleted list.
How do I overcome this error? I confirmed that Windows Management Instrumentation is running by opening Services from Control Panel ---> Administrative Tools.
I am on WinXP Pro SP2. Please note that I also have SQL Server 7.0 installed in my machine which is a standalone m/c.
This is a new SQL Server 2005 cluster that we just installed for the first time, with SP2. I am trying to use a stored procedure with xp_cmdshell to run a script to backup the databases. I get the following error: locked access to procedure 'sys.xp_cmdshell' of component 'xp_cmdshell' because this component is turned off as part of the security configuration for this server. A system administrator can enable the use of 'xp_cmdshell' by using sp_configure. For more information about enabling 'xp_cmdshell', see "Surface Area Configuration" in SQL Server Books Online.
So I started Surface Area Configuration on the local SQL Server itself, and clicked on "Surface Area Configuration for Features". I then got the following error: "Failed to connect to localhost. (Mirosoft.SqlServer.ConnectionInfo) Additional information: 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 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)
I am logged onto the server as a user with Admin privs; I installed SQL Server using that id. I am logged in via remote connection, so I know it allows remote connections... and I am logged into the server itself when I try to run the tool, so I don't understand why it's saying that it's trying to connect remotely.
Has anyone else ever experienced this problem? Thanks for any help you can give.
hi ; everybody i have almost installed sql server 2005 enterprise edition on windows xp sp2 and i havent connected to any server .i have taken error:40 with my all attempts.tcp/ip protocol have been enabled on sql server configuration manager.i have tried to start sql server surface area configuration but every my attempt have been resulted a fault which is below. [No SQL Server 2005 components were found on the specified computer. Either no components are installed, or you are not an administrator on this computer. (SQLSAC)] i dont suppose that i did something wrong when i setupped.because i read every article on the internet about how to make setup.also; i setupped numbers of times on my pc. but i didnt accomplished. i thank for any help.please; give your solution explicitly.
I've run into a problem after upgrading production servers running under Microsoft Cluster Server, Windows Enterprise Server 2003 SP1, and SQL Server 2005 SP1 Enterprise Edition.
Once I completed the upgrade and applied the patch, I needed to examine the values set in the Features component of the Surface Area Configuration tool. The tool attempts to connect to localhostinstancename, but reports the following 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 settings SQL Server does not allow remote connections. (provider: SQL Network Interfaces, error:26 - Error Locating Server/Instance Specified)(Microsoft SQL Server)
I'm logged into the virtual server via Remote Desktop, but the SAC tool thinks I'm logged into the physical server supporting the virtual server. I seem to be caught between a rock and a hard place here, as I can't enable remote connections without first gaining access on the server itself.
The operation system is windows xp, and before i installed the SQL SERVER2005 the SQL SERVER2000 had installed. the course of installing the SQL SERVER2005 has no error at all. but i can not find the Database Engine under MSSQLSERVER from surface area configuration ============== thank you in advance for any help
I installed SQL Server 2005 Enterprise Edition (64-bit) and then applied SQL SP2. When I launch the "SQL Server 2005 Surface Area Configuration" and choose "Surface Area Configuration for Features" I'm trying to enable xp_cmdshell.
After ticking the checkbox, and clicking Apply, I receive the error below. Anyone have any ideas on how to fix this?

It seems to me, that the best way is to have one Environment Varible containing the name of the SQL Server, so that you can look up the configuration in the SSIS Configuration Table when you run the package.
Is this the preferable way of doing it ? I would like to hear some positive/negative comment of why chosing a configuration type instead of another.
It seems to me that putting all of the configuration in the Environment variable is harder work but most secure (server breakdown vs table corruption/database error...)
I have tried several times to install SQL Server 2005 Developer Edition (most recently from MSDN Disk 3097.1) I have tried to complete an uninstall before each attempt.
I do get the warning about Minimum Hardware Requirement, but can find nothing in the detail requirements to exclude my PCs configuration.
I have installed: IIS and .NET Framework 2.0
I have also used ..aspnet_regiis -r to register ASP.NET
I am, successfully, running Visual Studio 2005.
Why does the installation process stop there and what can I do next?
I have an application ready to transfer to the web hosting server with MS SQL 2005. Database and tables were created with the VWD on the local machine (SQLEXPRESS). I am using MS SQL Server Managenemt Studio Express to create the SQL to add the local tabales and data to the hosting database. My connect to the hosting server is great. Problem: My connection to SQLEPRESS is good but it only allows me to map Database from this directory C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLData. I need to map to another directory as follows C:Documents and SettingsdflournoyMy DocumentsVisual Studio 2005WebSitescolumbushapps/app_data. So I can get to the tables I created locally. Also has someone put together a process to migrate from SQLEXPRESS (Local) to Remote or Production SQL 2005 or 2000.
For some reason, when opening up the SQL Server Configuration Manager for one of my SQL Servers, the 'Requesting data from WMI provider..' message stays there. It never gets the data. This is in regards to services management. Its not a big deal, because I can log on to the server to accomplish this, but it would be nice to do it from SSMS. It works for other SQL Servers. Has anyone experienced this before?
I just installed 3 instances of SQL Server 2005, installing the two named instances first and then the defaul instance third.
My configuration Manager only shows the two named instance services and the default does not show up.
Under Services in Computer Manager, it does show.
Any one run across this, and I would think it might cause some problems now that all the service configuration changes need to be performed in SQL Server Configuration Manager.
The servers are actually a cluster in an active / passive configuration. There are 2 servers with internal IP addresses and then a virtual server. We'll call them 192.1, 192.2 and VirtualBox. If I remote desktop into VirtualBox and run the config manager, nothing will happen for about 45 seconds and then I get a dialog with this message "Connection to target machine could not be made in a timely fasion.". Other than 'fashion' is misspelled :), I'm unable to determine what could cause this. Are there issues running this on a clustered environment? Or are there some things I can look at to diagnose this issue?
We are trying to setup a number of SQL Server 2005 database instances on a single server. The server has multiple IP addresses bound to its network interface (card). Each instance is configured to listen on a specific (unique) port on 127.0.0.1 and port 1433 on a specific (unique) IP address configured on the network interface. Finally, there is another instance of SQL Server (which also has the Reporting Services, Analysis Services and Integration Services installed) that does not allow remote connections and has TCP/IP disabled.
SSL is configured for all instances, apart from the non-remote connections instance, as follows: The same self-signed certificate is specified for every instance. This certificate has been configured for all 127.0.0.1 ports and port 1433 on all IPs in use for any of the instances using httpcfg as documented. The Force Encryption option is enabled and the Hide Instance option is disabled.
All appears to work correctly, and the "The certificate was successfully loaded for encryption" message appears when sp_readerrorlog is run, for the instances it is supposed to. However, at some point a problem occurs. The Force Encryption and Hide Instance labels _disappear_ (leaving blank spaces in the grid) from the interface, with the drop-down settings still visible. This seems to happen after installing an additional instance, although on one occasion it was after the 3rd was installed and on another occasion the 4th. Uninstalling the instances (even all of them) does not seem to help - only removing SQL Server 2005 completely and re-installing allowed the labels to re-appear.
Another concern is that after problem occurs, it appears that the settings are not being interpreted correctly. Even if the certificate is disabled for an instance, the message "The certificate was successfully loaded for encryption" appears, instead of the instance using a self-signed certificate. Additionally, on some occasions, the values for the Force Encryption and Hide Instance are swapped (or at least the values in the positions that used to be inline with the labels for these options).
As an additional note, various IIS Web Sites are configured on each of the IPs on the network interface. These are also using the same self-signed certification for SSL and are all using port 443, which none of the SQL server instances are configured to use.
Any feedback or suggestions on this would be appreciated. Thanks.
When I opened "Reporting Service Configuration Manger" from SQL server configuration tool list, The "Report Server Installation Instance window came out. It showed my local machine name on the field of Machine Name. When I click "Find" button, a message box came out. It says: "No report server were found on the specified machine. Details: Invalid namespace
I have just installed SQL 2005 enterprise and every apeared to install ok. But using SQL config manager nothing is showing up under SQL 2005 Services tab.
I have a SQL Server 2005 box that was moved from a domain environment to a non-domain environment and was never dropped from its original domain before moving over. Subsequently a new domain was created at the data center this SQL Server box now resides in. The machine was dropped from its old domain and joined to the new one.
All the while the service accounts were set to the local admin account. When I tried to start the Configuration Manager I got the message "Connection to target machine could not be made in a timely fashion.". I read some blog entries and tried changing all the service accounts to Local System and the error message still came up.
All of the SQL Server services run fine. It is just this management console that I cannot open. I wasn't with this employer when this box was moved to the data center so I do not know if it worked prior and there isn't anyone here that could give me its history.
I cannot see any services within "SQL Server 2005 Services" in SQL Server Configuration Manager.
I am new to SQL Server 2005 and recently installed all of the SQL Server 2005 64-bit components on to a Windows 2003 64-bit server. I can create and view databases via SQL Server Management Studio. I can also start and stop the SQL Server service for the default instance via SQL Server Management Studio. But I should be able to start/stop the service via SQL Server Configuration Manager and I believe I'm supposed to use SQL Server Configuration Manager to make changes to the services.
I'm concerned that something may have become corrupted and is effected the SQL Server Configuration Manager. Any suggestions?
After installing SQL Server Express Advanced 2012 64-bit edition, we are unable to see the 64-bit Server Network Configuration in the left pane. Â We need to edit the TCP/IP and Named Pipes to enable them. Â All that is showing is the 32-bit instance for our Acronis backups.how to view or add a SQL server instance to the Server Network Configuration msc?
I am trying to install SQL Server 2014 on W10. SQL Server installed, but failed to create a server that be connected to. SQL Server Configuration Manager has no options for creating a server either. How do I create the server.
Hello, I've installed SQLServer2k5 Sept CTP with the following config: W2K SP4 Pro, SQL2K5 Std Sept CTP complete clean install. Everything works except SAC for features. I get the error below when trying to start it. SAC for Services & Connections connects without problem and has local & remote connections via both TCP/IP and Named Pipes enabled for the server, and local & remote connections enabled for analysis services. All SQL2K5 components & services are started in the Services control panel. I've looked at port useage, wondering if some other process is using the port that SAC for features is pinging, but since SAC for Services & Connections works fine that doesn't seem to be culprit. I also get an error when running the Tuning Advisor, saying it can't connect, but demoted that to just a warning by closing some extraneous connections to the servere (had >10 open). Still get a warning, but it doesn't prevent the Tuning Advisor from completing. I've tried turning on and off various services, from Remote Registry Service to IIS, but no luck. Anyone know what else I chould check to troubleshoot this? Thanks! Failed to connect to server localhost
