Hello,
I'm in the process of moving a SQL Server 2000 to a new server. I have installed the new server added the latest sp. When I try to restore the system databases (Master, msdb) I get the following error
"the database xxxx.bak Cannot be restored because it was created by a different version of the server restore database is terminating abnormally"
I have looked at everything that I know of and both servers seem to be running the same versions of everything.
Can I just export the databases the the new server?
thanks in advance for any help you can give.
We needed to replace our Motherboard on a server running win 2K Adv.Server with SQL server 2000. After replacing, we could not bringthe system back with the previous OS. So, we have decided tomigrate to Windows 2003 server and install SQL svr on it.On the old server, the SQL DB is residing on a seperate disk.Is there any way one can install SQL on the new server and importthe data from the disk. Many posts talk about how to do detach/attach etc.The case there is they have a running source server. In my case, I don't.any pointers will be appreciatedRegards,Anand
I have been asked to move a system running MS SQL 2000 Server from a workgroup to a domain. The SQL server is running in SQL Authentication and the services are running as local system.
Will SQL Server break after the move?
Any advice will help. I thought I remember this being the case, but possibly only with Windows Authentication.
I need to move the SQL Server 2000 Desktop Engine (MSDE) database and all jobs to the SQL Server 2005 Enterprise Edition. - May I detach and attach the DB in my case? - Where is the procedure to move the jobs from MSDE to SQL Server 2005?
We have a SQL Server 2000 ent edition sp4 with 3 small databases and one 4 GB database which is REPLICATED The Server has been bouncing like a yoyo today because of a disk controller problem and I am preparing to move the Instance to a whole new server this afternoon. The new Server will have the same IP and name as the original server.
Any suggestions for the easiest or most seamless way to make this happen? preferably using Backup and Restore since they plan on taking the old server down completely and then building a new server with the same name and IP ... any suggestions would be appreciated.
We have 3 MSDE databases (3 seperate servers) which we need to make into one Sql 2000 server (new server). How is this done? Can't find anything clear about this.
Is this even possible? I tried to move an existing Sql Server Express .mdf file to SQL Server 2000 by copying the .mdf file to the server's folder and then tried to attach it. I get:
Error 602: Could not find row in sysindexes for database ID 9, object ID 1, index ID1. Run DBCC CHECKTABLE on sysindexes.
I realize that I'm moving back a version in SQL, however the structure of the database is very simple. Does anyone know?
Even if I can just script the thing to SQL 2000 would be helpful, however the .mdf is a file within my ASP.Net site, and does not show up in my Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio Express under the appropriate SERVERNAMESQLEXPRESS either, so I can't figure out how to script it out?
Hi guys, I have tried to use the sp_help_revlogin script to move logins from a sql 2000 server to a sql 2005 server. It works for users that have a password. But if the password is blank it will fail. Is there a work around for this since I can't change the users passwords? I have also tried SSIS package but that too doesn't work because of the same reason.

We have an old machine which holds SQL server 2000 database. We need to migrate a whole database to a new machine which has SQL server 2005.
When we tried to move whole database using Import and Export Wizard, only tables can be selected to import/export. However we want to import/export the whole database, including tables, stored procedure, view, etc. Which tool should we use?

Is there a way to move the primary log file for a database to another drive without doing this with a restore database operation? I have added a second log log file but now I would like to delete the one that was created when the database was created.
I have an existing sql server 2000 installation on one server. I now need to take one 2000 DB and restore it to a new sql server 2005 installation (on a different server).
What is the best way to do this. I can not upgrade the sql server 2000 installation to 2005. Basically i hoping all i need to do is backup the 2000 db and then restore it on the new sql 2005 server.

We have purchased a new Development SQL Server that is running SQL Server 2005. Our existing Development SQL Server is running SQL 2000.
How can I move the DTS packages from the SQL 2000 server to the new SQL 2005 server? I will be upgrading them to SSIS at some point, but don't have the time now.
Recently moved a couple of dbs from SQL 2000 -> SQL 2005 (different machine). Just restored the dbs on the new server from a full backup of the old one. Everything is fine but...
Some queries are returning out-of-order results (for records added since the migration). I tracked this down to the indexes. I completely rebuilt and reorganized the indexes (online) through the manager interface. This helped provide correct ordering for existing records, but new records added since the re index are still out-of-order.
Looking for a way to permanently fix the indexes so I don't have to constantly rebuild them.
We have a new database server for SQL Server 2005. To use our old VS 2005 websites, which were connected toanother database server with SQL Server 2000, what should I do? Just change the server name of the connection stringin the Source code and/or Web.config? My preliminary testing seemed to be not effective.TIA,Jeffrey
Good day , Does anyone know how to moe / copy database users from sql server 2000 to sql server 2005. I ave been successful will everything except this in my migration. I can copy the database users themselves but not the users under the security section.
I just installed SQL 2005 on a new box. I want to move a database from a SQL 2000 server to the new server. Can I detach the database, copy it and attach it in the new server without having problems?
I'm concerned that if the datafile is in SQL2000 format, when I connect it to SQL2005 server, will it still be in old format or will it upgrade?....or is this something you don't worry about....and why?

I have several jobs (most scripted in activeX) that I need to move to a different server. Is there an easy way to "copy and paste" them from one server to the other? (SQL7 to SQL2k)
I have a db that I created on my local machine and need to move it to our server. The problem is that I created it with sql server 2005 express and our server is a sql server 2000 so restore and attach don't work. I don't have management studio (just express) so I don't know what I need to do to move it. Any help is appreciated.
I moved the web app. I'm working on to another machine. Everything seemed to go well. Installed Reporting Services and configuration worked well with green ticks everywhere and I'm running reports in Report manager and in Visual Studio. However running off the web app. gives the message:
"The attempt to connect to Report Server failed" - there's also a ref. to an HTTP 404 error.
The install might not have gone as well as I thought because there was a "ReportServer" website created in IIS at same level as default. (Also Reports and ReportServer as virtual directories under Default website). The rogue website is 'stopped' at present. Would be grateful for any help with this. One thing is that I'm now behind a proxy so I'm using localhost:8080
