SQLNCLI --Linked Server Provider -- Nested Query Problem (SQL 2005)
Nov 30, 2007
Ok here is a run down of the situation:
I'm running Server 'A' and Server 'B' which are both on SQL 2005 SP2. Server B connects to Server A using the linked server functionality via the SQLNCLI provider. I am issuing an update statement from a web api in a nested transaction that uses a distrubted transaction.
However, I am receiving the following error :
Unable to start a nested transaction for OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI" for linked server "A". A nested transaction was required because the XACT_ABORT option was set to OFF.
OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI" for linked server "A" returned message "Cannot start more transactions on this session.".
I've researched the issue and understand how XACT_ABORT works.
Also, I looked at the Linked Server provider options for SQLNCLI and came accross the Nested Queries option being unchecked. I checked the option and applied it to the Linked Server.
Okay, so after my long post my questions are: Do i need to restart SQL in order for this to take effect? If not, what do i need to do? I 've restarted IIS to no avail .
Hello, I've a problem with a software developed in C# with the framework 2.0. This is the error I receive : The operation could not be performed because OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI" for linked server "XXX_LINKED_SERVER" was unable to begin a distributed transaction. OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI" for linked server "XXX_LINKED_SERVER" returned message "No transaction is active.". If I try directly to restart the process, it works fine. Is there someone who can help me ? This is the process 1. In C# --> Call of a Query : select from the linked server (db in sql 2005) and insert into a table SQL 2005 2. In the C# --> using (TransactionScope scope = new TransactionScope()) and insert in a table in SQL 2005 which is link server Thank in advance.
i am try to execute a command " SELECT * FROM [SQLSERVER].[DATABASENAME].[DBO].[TABLE] ".. but i am receiving a error message
Msg 7319, Level 16, State 1, Line 19
The OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI" for linked server "SQLSERVER" returned a "NON-CLUSTERED and NOT INTEGRATED" index "MSmerge_index_1348915877" with the incorrect bookmark ordinal 0.
but when i try to check the linked server it's shows me the linked is okay.. The following command i use to check wethare the link is fine or not..
CREATE TABLE #foo
(
pingResult SYSNAME NULL
);
INSERT #foo
EXEC master..xp_cmdshell
'ping SQLSERVER;
IF EXISTS
(
SELECT 1
FROM #foo
WHERE pingResult LIKE '%TTL%'
)
BEGIN
PRINT 'Feel free to use linked server.';
END
ELSE
BEGIN
PRINT 'Linked server not available.';
END
DROP TABLE #foo;
and Following result i receive..
(13 row(s) affected)
Feel free to use linked server.
Can any One tells me where i m making mistake or how can i resolve this problem
I have two servers, DEV and PROD. Now my DEV server works just great, I can connect to the linked server, query, etc... all is well.
So I'm setting up my PROD server and when I go to add the linked server I get:
Cannot initialize the data source object of OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI".... and Unable to complete login process due to delay in opening server connection.
Now I am running SQL Server 2005 and connecting to an SQL 2000 server.
The odd part is that this works just fine on DEV.
When I go to create the linked server I set:
Linked Server: "LinkedServerName"
Server Type: "SQL Server"
and that's it.
I go to Security and enter my DOMAINUSER.ACCOUNT and then enter the login creds for the linked server.
When I click "OK" I get the above mentioned error code.
I just installed a SQL Server 2005 Express SP2 instance on a server with an existing SQL Server 2000 SP3 installation. (I need SQL Server 2005's INSERT from an EXEC capability). It's working great now except for one thing: I can't link any other SQL servers! I've already successfully added and queried a linked Oracle server, but attempting to add a linked SQL server gives me the following error, no matter which SQL provider I try to use:
Code Snippet "The linked server has been created but failed a connection test. Do you want to keep the linked server?" Additional information: --> An exception occured while executing a Transact-SQL statement or batch (Microsoft.SqlServer.Express.ConnectionInfo) --> Cannot create an instance of OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI" for linked server "SERVERNAME". (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 7302)
The technical details reveal the error source as "sp_testlinkedserver".
I've scoured the net and premier support for advice on this problem, but the little I found wasn't helpful. I've tried reinstalling the SQL Native Client, but it didn't help. I've tried uninstalling SQL Server 2005 Express completely (including management studio and native client), rebooting, and reinstalling everything, with no luck. The server (obviously) does not have a firewall enabled. I've tried stopping the SQL 2000 Server installed on the system, no help. If I create a test .UDL file on the system, pointing to any of the SQL servers I'm trying to link, clicking the "Test Connection" button returns successful. I'm also able to connect to and query the servers directly from the SQL 2005 Express Management Studio. I just can't add them as linked servers.
The server is running Windows 2003 SP1, SQL Server 2000 SP3, and SQL Server 2005 Express SP2 (the default "SQLExpress" named instance). I've tried setting up SQL 2005 Express to run under the network service account and under a domain account used by the other SQL 2000 servers.
From other SQL 2000 servers, I can connect and link to the SQL Server 2005 Express instance successfully. I can also successfully add linked SQL servers in SQL Server 2000 instance installed on the same server. Only adding linked SQL servers in 2005 Express seems to be broken.
Anyone have any other suggestions? I'm totally baffled. Thank you so much for any helpful advice.
I've been assigned with finding the issue behind this error on one of our production systems:
TCP Provider: The semaphore timeout period has expired. [SQLSTATE 07008] (Error 121) OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI" for linked server "SERVER1" returned message "Communication link failure". [SQLSTATE 01000] (Error 7412). The step failed.
I've Googled the error to death, searched the forums here and at other SQL sites as well and have found nothing that points me at the cause. I've found the individual parts of the error but not the whole. Maybe I've just been looking at it too long and am missing something simple. Anyone have any ideas?
These are two linked SQL2005 64bit enterprise Win2k3 servers. The error comes when an automated daily job is run. Sometimes it happens at once, sometimes after 5 minutes, sometimes after an hour. I can see nothing wrong with the server itself or the network.
I am linking to another SQL Server database to extract data into my own system. Following an increase in size on one of the columns in a table I am extracting, I am getting the following error:
'OLE DB provider 'SQLNCLI' for linked server 'gsc-rpt.svr.bankone.net' returned data that does not match expected data length for column '[gsc-rpt.svr.bankone.net].[Peregrine].[dbo].[scProblem].short_description'. The (maximum) expected data length is 100, while the returned data length is 148'
The column short_description has been increased from 100 to 1024. Writing a simple query, SELECT (max(len(short_description)) FROM dbo.Peregrine_Problem will generate the error, but if I embed the same SQL into an Excel VBA macro and connect to the server, it happily returns the result 1024. Our Access databases also link to the table on the remote server and handle the increased column size properly.
I have done everything I can think of, including deleting the linked server within SQL Server MS, and recreating it, but I can't override the setting of 100.
and it works fine if the database on PRIMARY is alive. however when the mirror has failed over to SECONDARY and PRIMARY is no longer available, I get the following when I try to query the database via the linked server:
OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI" for linked server "MIRROR" returned message "Login timeout expired". OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI" for linked server "MIRROR" returned message "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.". Msg 10061, Level 16, State 1, Line 0 TCP Provider: No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it.
As far as I can tell, it doesn't try to contact SECONDARY at all. It seems like SQL Server is ignoring the FailoverPartner attribute.
If I switch PRIMARY and SECONDARY in the connection string (ie @provstr=N'Server=SECONDARY;FailoverPartner=PRIMARY;') then it works when SECONDARY is online, but not when the mirror has failed back to PRIMARY.

I am running an SSIS package to extract data from a source SQL Server database to our own database. The source is on a linked server. The package worked until a column size was increased on a table on the source.
If I run a query against the linked server table I get the following error:
'OLE DB provider 'SQLNCLI' for linked server 'GSC-RPT.SVR.BANKONE.NET' returned data that does not match expected data length for column '[GSC-RPT.SVR.BANKONE.NET].[Peregrine].[dbo].[scProblem].short_description'. The (maximum) expected data length is 100, while the returned data length is 160.'
I've tried deleting the links and recreating them. Nothing works. I don't understand why my database query is expecting a data length of 100. Why does it not pick up the definition of the field length from the linked server? How has it retained this expectation when I have deleted the linkage and recreated it?
We have 4 client machine and 1 server machine, that server have all the sql server 2005 database€™s.
A project developed from client1 with Asp.net 2005 now I need to access that project from client2 so I type http://My Ip address/Folder Name/home.aspx in my browser here when the sql connection is open(SqlConnection.Opn()) then I meet this problem
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)
Hi,I have SQL Server Express Edition. I tried working out some ASP.NET Labs in my local system. Here is the link of the Virtual Lab which I tried. http://msevents.microsoft.com/CUI/WebCastEventDetails.aspx?EventID=1032286906&EventCategory=3&culture=en-US&CountryCode=USI recieve this error in my local system. 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)I tried working out solutions from various websites. But the no solution is effective. Could anyone help me in solving this issue.
I have a problem in running this query on linked servers, which has distributed partitioned view.
SQLTransaction transaction;... public void DeleteAllData() { try { connection.Open(); transaction = connection.BeginTransaction(); { Console.WriteLine("Deleting All Data..."); string cmdText = ""; cmd = new SqlCommand(cmdText, connection, transaction); cmd.CommandText = "delete from NEW_ORDER where NO_O_ID > 0"; cmd.ExecuteNonQuery(); cmd.CommandText = "delete from ORDER_LINE where OL_NUMBER > 0"; cmd.ExecuteNonQuery(); transaction.Commit(); Console.WriteLine("Sucessful"); } } catch (Exception e) { Console.WriteLine("Failed in Method DeleteAllData"); throw e; } finally { connection.Close(); } }
The error returned was:
Failed in Method DeleteAllDataSQL Exception caught: Unable to start a nested transaction for OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI" for linked server "SERVER_B". A nested transaction was required because the XACT_ABORT option was set to OFF.OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI" for linked server "SERVER_B" returned message "Cannotstart more transactions on this session.".
I realized that this problem may be eliminated if I'm using stored procedures on the database, and SET XACT_ABORT ON before any transaction.
We have created linked server between SQL Server 2000 and Oracle 10g in offshore environment as well as onsite environment,both the environments are almost IDENTICAL.Basically, the whole execution happens on Oracle and the output is passed to SQL Server.When the below query is executed in offshore environment it is returning values perfectly.
SELECT * FROM OPENQUERY(ORACLE_LINK,'{Call TEST.IVR.lo_Dlr_GetInfo(55,{resultset 2,p_ReturnVal})}')
Here: ORACLE_LINK - is the Linked Server Name, TEST - Oracle Schema Name IVR - Oracle Package Name
But when the same query is executed on onsite environment it is raising the following error.
Server: Msg 7321, Level 16, State 2, Line 1 An error occurred while preparing a query for execution against OLE DB provider 'MSDAORA'. OLE DB error trace [OLE/DB Provider 'MSDAORA' ICommandPrepare::Prepare returned 0x80040e14]. The environment details are:
1)Operating System - Windows 2000 Advanced Server 2)Service pack on Operating System - SP4 3)Version on MSDORA.dll(C:ProgramFilesCommonFilesSystemOLED B) - 2.81.1117.0 4)Version on tstbestsql1---SQL Database - SQL Server 2000 Enterprise Edition 5)ServicePack on tstbestsql1---SQL Database - 8.00.2040 (SP3a)
Onsite Environment:
1)Operating System - Windows 2000 Advanced Server 2)Service pack on Operating System - SP4 3)Version on MSDORA.dll(C:ProgramFilesCommonFilesSystemOLED B) - 2.81.1117.0 4)Version on tstbestsql1---SQL Database - SQL Server 2000 Enterprise Edition 5)ServicePack on tstbestsql1---SQL Database - 8.00.2040 (SP4)
We are able to execute if we are executing the query as
SELECT * FROM OPENQUERY(ORACLE_LINK,'select column1 from table1') on the Onshore server and it is perfectly returning the value.I believe the problem might be with "Call" if anyone can help with it that will be great.
When i begin a distributed transaction..., do i need to always set xact_abort on?
But when i tried to put custom error handling to roll back a transaction with a linked server , it seems its impossible (as set xact_abort on, already automatically rolls back the transaction)
I cant find any odbc provider from my linked server.(SQL 2005) I am using MDAC 2.8 SP1 ON WINDOWS XP SP2 on my machine. What can i do to get odbc provider..?
I have an SSIS job that is pumping to a SQL Server Destination, hundreds of gigabytes of raw text files. Today I received this strange error - does anyone have insight? Also, how would I make the data tasks more stable and robust so that this doesn't cause package failure (retries, or something?)

I€™m getting this error message when trying to run an openquery statement through a linked server to DB2. (SELECT * FROM OPENQUERY(Sname, 'SELECT * FROM tablename€™)) The linked server has a remote login and password that it uses to connect to DB2.
I found this from another post on how to fix this error: Expand Component Services - Computers - My Computer - DCOM Config Select MSDAINITIALIZE Right Click properties then security Under Security - Launch Permission: enable Local Launch and Local Activation for your SQL Service account Under Security - Access permissions: Allow System: Local Access and Remote Access.
After completing these steps I still get the error message but the events are no longer generated. I€™ve also tried different variations of these steps. The only way I can get this to work is to either make the AD user a member of the Admin group on the server or by putting in a user account that has admin rights to the server in the MSDAINITIALIZE properties €“ Identity Tab €“ Run this App as this User.
Can someone please tell me the steps that I€™m missing?
We have a SQL2005 server install running on a Win2003 Server. It has a linked server to iHistorian using the iHOLEDB provider for iHistorian. Randomly and after a few execution to this provider, we start getting errors
Msg 7303, Level 16, State 1, Line 2
Cannot initialize the data source object of OLE DB provider "IhOLEDB.iHistorian" for linked server "fspheafhs1".I created a data source in VS2005 for BI on the SQL server using the iholedb provider. This was successful. However, all queries or OPENQUERY statements to the linked server fail. This seems to continue until SQL Server is restarted. Does anyone know how to reset a provider in SQL Server or tell if the SQL Server is having trouble with the provider? There are no message in the SQL Error Log. Again the provider continues to work outside of SQL Server, but no longer can be accessed from within SQL Server. Thanks in advance.
Hallo i'm trying to connect a VFP DBC as a linked server on MSSQL2000sp3a, using following parameters:
Product name: VFP
Data source: \networkpath odbc
Provider: VFPOLEDB.1
No security context I'm trying the same operation both from a W2000sp4 server (+ MDAC 2.8sp1 ?) and a WXPPsp2, against two identical copies of the DBC that resides on two different path (one on the final path and one on a test path). From WXPPsp2 everything runs ok, from W2000 i'm always getting this error: Error 7399: OLE/DB Provider 'VFPOLEDB' IUnknown::QueryINterface returned 0x80070005: Access Denied (already reported in this thread, http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=1832362&SiteID=1 but it didn't helped me)
The error happens independently from the user the query runs under (basicly AD account, both domain admin and normal user). MSSQL runs under a domain account which have full permissions (for test purpose) on the directories where DBC reside.
I did no further modifications on the WXP machine in order to have the linked server running, simply it ran smoothly from the beginning.
Clearly the difference rely on the different OS... but what else?
i ran component checker to determine the MDAC version but some components version numbers slightly differs from the expected ones (eg. resulting version is 2.0.1064 versus 2.0.1022 expected in MDAC 2.8) so i suppose to have MDAC2.8 sp1 on the server. thanks in advance
I'm currently having an issue with a linked server. Here's the surrounding information:
A) I have a clustered SQL Server 2005 Instance (A) and a SQL Server 2000 instance (B). B) There is a linked server on A to B. When I set it up, I did run the fix to ensure A could talk to B (There was an issue with communication between 2005 and 2000 servers). It has been there since I installed A, and has worked fine.. Until last week. C) This linked server uses static credentials to connect to B. D) Named Pipes are enabled on both servers to listen to both connections on both A and B in cliconfg. So A has a named pipe listening for B, and B has a named pipe listening for A. E) A has a view that looks at a table on B - It's a table view, very simple, just pulls in all the data from the table on B.
So, I go to do a select statement from the view, connected as a user other then 'sa'. I then get the error:
Named Pipes Provider: Could not open a connection to SQL Server Linked Server Error Source: ncli Client (Paraphrasing, didn't copy that down, but it was the ODBC connector)
Well, that's odd. It's been working fine for months now..
I then go and connect as sa on A to query B. It works! Mind you, absolutely NO QUERY from A to B will run again until I run SOME kind of query has been run as sa on A.
Mind you, this is not a credential issue. Every user who connects to the linked server to B uses a stored credential that is DBO to the database on B. The same User Name and Password exists on both A and B.
Also of note, I check the activity monitor. There's a process that is "dormant" every time I run a query against the view. The details of this connection are:
sp_reset_connection;1
My question is, why is it resetting the connection on B when being queried from A? Why is it "all of a sudden" a problem? Are there any changes that coudl ahve been made that would cause this?
Any help with this confusing issue would be appreciated.
I receive the following error message when I run a distributed query against a loopback linked server in SQL Server 2005: The Microsoft Distributed Transaction Coordinator (MS DTC) has cancelled the distributed transaction.
To resolve this problem, I was told that running a distributed query against a loopback linked server is not supported in SQL Server 2005. And I am suggested to use a remote server definition (sp_addserver) instead of a linked server definition to resolve this problem. (Although this is only a temporary resolution, which will deprecate in Katmai)
However, I run into another problem when I use the remote server definition. I receive the following error message: Msg 18483, Level 14, State 1, Line 1 Could not connect to server 'ServerNameSQL2005' because '' is not defined as a remote login at the server.

Querys to the SQL 2005 box from SQL 2000 work but when the query is parameterised with non-literals (@variables) then the query run on the SQL 2005 box excludes any where clause causing the entire table to be returned to the SQL 200 box. When the query is parameterised using literal values the query is executed on SQL 2005 including the where clause.
At first I thought that the "Collation Compatible" setting was the culprit but setting this to 1 made no difference. Other SQL 2000 boxes work as expected and any queries from these using literal and non-literal parameters.
Please, any ideas?

I have a development and a production SQL server instance environment set up on 2 independent machines. Each machine is running Windows 2003 for an OS, while each server instance is version SQL Server 2005. On friday, I experienced difficulties querying one environment from the other through linked servers. I would get the error below: .
Cannot obtain the schema rowset "DBSCHEMA_TABLES_INFO" for OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI" for linked server "dev_server". The provider supports the interface, but returns a failure code when it is used
The linked servers had been previously set up and had been running without any issues. Dropping and recreating the linked servers did not help at all, and all attempts to google the error led to accounts of either SQL Server 2005-SQL Server 2000 procedures compatibility or 64 bit - 32 bit compatibily related errors. Neither of the two were relevant as both my environment have the same technology, both hardware and software.
Mysteriously, the linked server worked this morning without any issue at all. One co-worker suggests gremlins are at work, while another figures that my set up had 'checked out for the long weekend'. Unfortunately, neither explanation is plausible, so my quest to find out what could have gone wrong, and hopefully put preventitive measures in place for the future goes on. Does anybody have any idea what the issue could have been?

Then when I go to run a query
select id from [CUSTOMERLINK].[CUSTOMERDB].[CUSTOMER1].[CLIENT] Where name = 'codm'
I recieve a "Invalid use of schema or catalog for OLE DB provider "MSDAORA" for linked server D"CUSTOMERLINK". A four-part name was supplied, but the provider does not expose the necessary interfaces to use a catalog or schema." error.
I'm working on an OLE DB provider. This provider is supposed to retrieve data from managed application running in background. The data retrieval is handled by C# component communicating with source application via remoting, the data are then exposed via component's COM interface. OLE DB provider itself instantiates the communication component.
Now, the problem: this worked ok in SQL server 2000, but it doesn't seem to work in SQL server express edition. Concretely, the communication component fails to get created (CoCreateInstance ends with 'class not registered') and SQL server logs this:
2007-08-24 14:48:49.42 spid51 Error: 6511, Severity: 16, State: 20. 2007-08-24 14:48:49.42 spid51 Failed to initialize the Common Language Runtime (CLR) v2.0.50727 with HRESULT 0x80131022. You may fix the problem and try again later.
I've googled a bit and found out someone else getting this message, and he was told something like 'trying to load CLR in some cases is disabled in newer (>2000) versions of SQL server'.
Now, I have very little knowledge of SQL server, CLR integration etc., so I'm not sure whether this applies to my case as well, but I think so - that problematic COM object is C#-based.
I'd be glad for any hints, ideas how to solve this issue, I just need the OLE DB provider to be able to access that managed application.
Is it that I have a syntax error in the nested OPENQUERY or is there another issue? Do I need to specify a different provider in the Server Link such as OLEDB? Non-nested OPENQUERYs work fine.
I'm generally following theTips and Tricks article.
"Executing predictions from the SQL Server relational engine". One problem is the sample doesn't actually complete the example query after the second nested OPENQUERY call.
e.g.
SELECT * FROM OPENQUERY(DMServer, 'select €¦ FROM Modell PREDICTION JOIN OPENQUERY€¦')
The SQL Server server link's provider is configured to allow adhoc access. I appears that the inner OPENQUERY cannot be prepared by Analysis Server or the Server link provider? but I need to return a key value t.[CardTransactionID] for joining to SQL Server data elements.
OLE DB provider "MSOLAP" for linked server "DMServer" returned message "Errors in the back-end database access module. The data provider does not support preparing queries.".
Msg 7321, Level 16, State 2, Line 2 An error occurred while preparing the query SELECT * FROM OPENQUERY(DMServer, 'SELECT t.[CardTransactionID], t.[PostingDate], [Misuse Abuse Profile].[Even Dollar Purchase], PredictProbability([Misuse Abuse Profile].[Even Dollar Purchase]) AS Score, PredictSupport([Misuse Abuse Profile].[Even Dollar Purchase]) AS Suppt, t.[BillingAmount] FROM [Misuse Abuse Profile] PREDICTION JOIN OPENQUERY([Athena Dev], ''SELECT [CardTransactionID], [PostingDate], [BillingAmount], [AccountNumber], [SupplierStateProvinceCode], [MerchantCategoryCode], [PurchaseIDFormat], [TransactionTime], [TaxAmountIncludedCode], [Tax2AmountIncludedCode], [OrderTypeCode], [MemoPostFlag], [EvenDollarPurchase] FROM [dbo].[vMisuseAbuseProfile] '') AS t ON [Misuse Abuse Profile].[Account Number] = t.[AccountNumber] AND [Misuse Abuse Profile].[Supplier State Province Code] = t.[SupplierStateProvinceCode] AND [Misuse Abuse Profile].[Merchant Category Code] = t.[MerchantCategoryCode] AND [Misuse Abuse Profile].[Purchase ID Format] = t.[PurchaseIDFormat] AND [Misuse Abuse Profile].[Transaction Time] = t.[TransactionTime] AND [Misuse Abuse Profile].[Tax Amount Included Code] = t.[TaxAmountIncludedCode] AND [Misuse Abuse Profile].[Tax2 Amount Included Code] = t.[Tax2AmountIncludedCode] AND [Misuse Abuse Profile].[Order Type Code] = t.[OrderTypeCode] AND [Misuse Abuse Profile].[Memo Post Flag] = t.[MemoPostFlag] AND [Misuse Abuse Profile].[Even Dollar Purchase] = t.[EvenDollarPurchase] ')
In desparation I tried returning the case key (CardTransactionID) and the predictive column elements but I get an error when I try that. I assume this is a no-no? OLE DB provider "MSOLAP" for linked server "DMServer" returned message "Error (Data mining): Only a predictable column (or a column that is related to a predictable column) can be referenced from the mining model in the context at line 2, column 15.".
I'm trying to define a linked server using Microsoft OLE DB Provider for Data Mining Services. MSDMine data provider is missing. Do you know where I can get this? Thanks in advance.
I'm have a Xeon 64bit proc. using SP2. And had installed:
SQLServer2005_ADOMD_x64.msi, SLQServer2005_ASOLEDB9_x64.msi,SQLServer2005_OLAPDM_x64.msi, and SQLServer2005_XMO_x64.msi.
