SQL Server 2008 Installation - Server Configuration Problem
May 18, 2008
I have got problems with installation of a default instance on SQL Server 2008 on Vista Home Premium. During the step of Server Configuration you should enter UserName and password for each service. I do not know what user name to type. I tried every possible combination but the outcome is always the same - after typing usernames and passwords, installation suddenly fails without casting any exception. I'm not sure if I do something wrong (wrong User Name or Password) or is it a problem with installation application or with OS. Please, help.
I have been tasked with moving our SQL server estate onto new 64bit SQL 2008 Virtual servers on a VM base. Each Virtual server will be attached to our SAN that i will have no control over. Do i ask for multiple LUNs pretending that there is a COS), Etemp), FData) and Glog) disk structure or do I just present a very big space as a single C: drive and let it go.We are consolidating lots of old physical servers onto fewer (more powerful) virtual servers (according to the VM and SAN administrators)
I downloaded SQL Server 2005 from Microsoft's website and tried to install.
First I downloaded and installed filename "dotnetfx.exe" according to the install guide. Installed without any issues.
Then i tried to install filename: "SQLEXPR.exe"- the main SQL Server software- which I also downloaded from Microsoft. I get the error below and here is how i got it.
------------------ ERROR: The SQL Server system configuration Checker cannot be executed due to WMI configuration on the machine YOUR-07NFK16HDF Error:2147749896(0x80041008) --------------------
I clicked on the executable file SQLEXPR.exe, then, after extracting the file,
after the end user license agreement...
the next screen says "installing prerequisites Microsoft SQL server 2005 setup support files, the required components were installed successfully"
then i hit "next", then I see the screen with message (below:
"system configuration check....SQL server setup is scannong your computers configuration". During this process(system configuration check), this is when I get the error ERROR- above. The pop-up error screen has a help icon.
clicking on help gives me the info below and says i must send it across the internet
Link ID = 20476 Product Name = Microsoft SQL server Product version = 9.00.2047.00 message source = setup.rll messageID = 70342
the resulting information says that there is no such information about message source in the knowledge database.
----- pls what is the problem. Is it with the downloaded file(I got it from Microsoft's SQL Server home page)...and pls what is the WMI configuration on my machine?
Im using a Toshiba Satellite Pro Laptop, WIn XP with SP2.
This is SQL Server 2008R2. On the SQL Server Configuration I'm unable to see SQL Server Browser. But when I check the services I can see the SQL Browser running.
Under SQL Server Configuration Manager > SQL Server Services
1. Full text 2. SQL Server (Default) 3. SQL Agent (Default)
But I'm unable to see the SQL Browser services here. What is the remedy?

When I tried sending a test email, it didn't work. But when I changed my SMTP to use Gmail, it worked!
Hello evryone The reason I am touching base is to get some informatyion about the SQL server x64 installation process. I am working on windows vista x64 and have installed the visual web developer 2008 as well as visual C# 2008 which they both are working properly . As of lateI was trying to add a SQL database to my web that I encounter an error message to have to install the SQL server 2005 express edition. I tried the available version ,however the firsrt attempt git failed since I got the wrong link which was for x32 . Again I took the x64 version available at : http://www.microsoft.com/express/sql/download/default.aspx at the most bottom of the page within the Register portion. this time I faced with error message poped as : " SQL server Native Client can not be found try installation later with a valid copy of this file." inevatably I took the SQL server 2008 express edition thread at : http://www.microsoft.com/express/sp1/download/, howeve in this attempt I can not figure out a credential account no. and password ;whatever I try can not get me pass to the next step. I need your help to get through my project which I am at the end of it . yours, Hamed.
When I was installing vs.net 2008, I chose to install sql server express. But after I installed it, I found I could only see the configuration tools of sql server, but I couldn't find the sql server express service. When I ran the surface area configuration for services and connections, I msgbox came out and told me "No sql server 2005 components were found on the specified computer.....". Why? Thanks.
Hi I need to Install the SQL server 2008 express with Instance name and Sa password parameter in silent mode . I tried couple of command line arguments for this. but It didn't work, I got the setup failure error message "The setting 'QB' specified is not recognized.Error code 0x84B40003." Can any one help me with this?
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
Hello - does anyone have experience w/SQL Server 2005 in a virtual environment? I'm considering this for a production environment but not sure if performance will suffer. Our databases will have a lot of writing but not too much reading. A SSRS solution is currently the only app. connecting to the SQL db. Max users to server at any given time will be very low (~10 users max). But the databases are pulling in data from other, outside multiple data sources on a daily basis.
I am looking to automate the rollout of the SQL Native client to our workstations. What I would like to do is use our login script to initiate an unattended install on the workstation. I will create the unattended file using the one that comes with SQL Server 2005 as a guide. This seems pretty straightforward.
More importantly, the other task I want to tackle is adding server aliases to the workstations. I am thinking of creating an alias for each of our applications and pushing the changes out by merging a registry key(maybe WMI? I dont know...). This way, should we need to move application databases to a different instance, we can just push an updated list of aliases to the workstations. The actual storage location remains transparent to the applications and users, (ie no configuration changes).
Has anyone done this or have any ideas? Are there any pros/cons that I have not thought of?

I've been doing all I could think of: reinstall the whole SQL server and its services; stop and restart SQL server service and Reporting service.
It could be my SQL version has a problem...not sure....
I could not think of anything else.
If you have any thoughts about it, please do reply.
Any suggestion is highly appreciated. Thank you...
I am using SQL Server configuration indirectly with the connection to it configured in an XML configuration file with the location of the XML file and the connections all being different between development and production. I deploy to the file system using the SSIS Deployment Manifest/Package Installation Wizard.
It seems that sometimes the path to the XML config file is updated in the deployed packages and sometimes it is not.
When the path is updated, all connection strings (as displayed in the Connection Managers section of the Execute Package Utility) are displaying the new values as well.
When it is not, it looks for the XML file in the development location and since it cannot find it all configurations still point to the development connections.
Does anyone know of any conditions when the location of the XML config does not get updated and when it doesn't?
Say I inherit from an undocumented installation of SQL server. Is there a way to extract all features, configurations and such to apply them on a different installation?For instance, if the setup was executed multiple times, can I generate a configuration.ini file contains the culmination of every setup executed?
Hi Guys, I have had SQL Server Express and Sql Server Management Studio Express installed on my machine for some time and recently tried to install a trial of SQL Server 2005 as well. (Yes, I'm migrating from Visual Studio Express to Visual Studio Professional, just as in tended!) Everything went fine except that nothing seemed to be installed. I searched in all the obvious places - both on the Start/Programs menu and on the hard-drive: nothing. A check under Add/Remove Programs showed that Sql Server 2005 Express was installed, but called SQL Server 2005. So after a number of retries in which the install program kept saying that there was nothing to install, I selected every option under Advanced in the intall process. This resulted in stuff being installed and I now have SQL Server 2005 running on my machine, but no SQL Server Manager icon. My questions are:
Where can I find the SQL Server Manager executeable? Has anyone installed SQL Server Express, SQL Server Mangement Studio Express, SQL Server 2005 and SQL Server Management Studio on a single machine successfully? If so, what order did you install them in? (I'm planning on uninstalling everything SXQL Server related and starting again.) Thanks very much for your help. Regards Gary
I'm using Virtual PC on my WinXP PC, with two W2K3 environments runnings as Virtual PC guests. My goal is to use these virtual servers to emulate a distributed SSRS environment--prior to setting up a similar environment on physical servers.
One of the W2K3 guests is my database server; the other W2K3 guest is my report server. Just like with a physical SSRS environment, there are many choices that need to be made during the installation and configuration--any one of which, it seems, can prevent the environment from working properly.
Currently, I'm struggling with getting my virtual distributed SSRS environment to work. I could go into the details, but I figured I'd ask a basic question first: Is anyone aware of a book, magazine article, blog, etc. that goes through a distributed SSRS installation--listing the requirements, discussing the choices, considering the implications, etc.?
Off the top of my head, such a walk-through would ideally cover networking configuration issues (Virtual PC or otherwise), Active Directory considerations, Windows Firewall settings between the servers, SSRS-related service account selections, authentication between the servers, etc.
If no one has produced such a walk-through (!), I'd be happy to write one so that others don't have to deal with the same struggles I'm currently dealing with....but I'd need your help.
I contact you because we installed Report Services 2012 and after configuring werb service URL, database, Report Manager URLs... the URLs linked to the Report server + Report Manager does not work.After searching in IIS, it seems that even if virtual directories are created, they are linked to directories which does not exist :- c:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSRS11.ReportReporting Services does contain only LogFiles and RSTempFiles directories.
if you can restore a database to Server B using Server A as the service. Meaning we would issue the command on Server A but somehow point to Server B as where we want the restore to happen.
The backup file would be in a location independent of both servers.

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.
There are a few features in the new SQL Server - Reporting Services that I really need in production. I have tested everything and it works great. I am running the CTP version since Microsoft is saying they aren't releasing the release version until 3rd quarter 2008.
Since Microsoft won't sell SQL 2008 until 3rd quarter, can I run the CTP in production until the release and then purchase SQL 2008?
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?

Hello! Recently, I set up server with Windows Web Server 2008 RC1, SQL 2008 Express beta, .NET 3.5, IIS 7. I'm running ASP.NET web application with SQL database. Everything works fine until the first application state on the server expires. After that, any postback that starts a new application state on the server and connects to the database, results in the following error: Failed to generate a user instance of SQL Server due to a failure in starting the process for the user instance. The connection will be closed. Is this a bug that will be fixed in release of Windows / SQL or am I doing something wrong? Many thanks for help, Jan
I am using SQL Express 2005 server and sql compact edition for my PDA. For synchronization, which SQL Server 2005 Compact Edition Server Tools installation package do I use?
Is it Sqlce30setupen.msi or sql2kensp4.msi or sql2kensp3a.msi? I know for sql server 2005 its Sqlce30setupen.msi. Is it the same for the SQL Express 2005?
