I am working on creating a configeration database based on the information pulled from a large number (over 40) of servers. I am newly out of college and don't have a lot of experience with things like this, but I am trying to create a configuration database. I need to know the best way to create a connection to all of the SQL servers on my network and then automate the pulling of data from these SQL servers. The types of data I would need are things like Instance ID, DBMS Version, Database Properties, Database Name, Modification Date, Last full backup, last transaction log backup, etc. I have been pointed towards either working with OSQL/SQL CMD, in which case could someone please point me towards a guide, and SSIS, I am reposting this thread in the SSIS area. I need to take all of the gathered data and place it into a central repository database after formatting it. Any help is greatly appreciated.

I had managed to install previously, but ran into problems while trying to upsize an MS-Access database, I've tried everything from creating certificate to hacking away at the registry...Log-on with a different account, etc...Anybody knows how to get around 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
I'm having trouble in configuring Yahoo's SMTP for Database Mail. Here is my current settings:
Email Address: xxx@yahoo.com Server Name: smtp.mail.yahoo.com Port Number: 465 This server requires a secure connection (SSL) - check Basic Authentication Username: xxx@yahoo.com Password: xxx
When I tried sending a test email, it didn't work. But when I changed my SMTP to use Gmail, it worked!

I am trying to learn ASP.NET using Visual Basic Standard Edition 2003 and an MSDE database. I am having problems configuring the login. Is this a workable configuration? Are there instructions somewhere for setting up this configuration? I have no problem using Access 2003, but I would like to use MSDE.
I'm new to SQL 2000 administration and would like to know how to find out what the existing SQL Server Database configurations and what installation options has been installed / selected.
I am finding an error in SQL Server Agent log which is related to database mail configuration. Can any one please guide me how to configure the database mail configuration to transfer the data from SQL CE to SQL server.
Has anyone been able to configure Database Mail and successfully send an email message? I set it up this afternoon, but all my messages are sitting in the sys_mailitems table of the msdb database.
We are going to implement either a replicated database or use log shipping to another database to support our reporting needs. Basically we are moving reporting over data off our transactional database.
With this in mind, I have several questions: Are there any special configurations in terms of disks for a database in this situation?What are the recommended raid types? Also, we currently store our data in one filegroup and indexes in another so obviously I'll want those on 2 separate physical disks other than the C:. What about the log files? Do I care where they go (on C: or another physical drive separate from C:, data filegroup drive and index filegroup drive)?
Hi,I would like to know how to get a list of configuration settings for adatabase.Is there a table that I can select this info from?Or a file (perhaps an ini file?) of some kind?Things like timeout settings, rollback space, table space, etc.Thanks
Does anyone know where I can find example code for VB.NET that I can useto create an application that attaches and detaches databases to MSDE usingosql scipts.(I think SQL-DMO is typically used)Thanks in advance
Below is what I have put into an execute sql task container. When I try to run it I have output open and have posted the output. The code runs fine when I have the configuration database set up to only check one server. However, when I add anymore to it, the package will get the security from the first db and then error out. Below is the error output and script. Any help with my problem is greatly appreciated.

When trying to open the sharepoint webpage I'm getting this error - cannot connect to the configuration database sharepoint 2010.Database is on SQL server 2008.Tried opening the site on server - got the same error.Googled and tried to start the mssqlserver services (browser and sql server) but they fail to start with error code 17058.
Googled what this error was about and some solutions led me to check the error log in event viewer. For mssqlserver I got following message in the event proverties window -Â Could not open error log file <path of log file> ''. Operating system error = 5 (access denied).When I tried to login on the sql server management studio, it does not let me login and gives error -Â
I got to know that this can happen due to unexpected reboot of server. I checked my server and it had actually restarted unexpectedly.URL...
Hi --I was wondering if this is a bug when I add new data in my table SSIS Confiurations and give wizard a new Configuration filter the package configuration wizard can not see the new values --the old values from the previous configuration are still showing---is there any known workaround or forced refresh I can do
thanks in advance Dave
Background:
SQL Package Configurations are most important because they provide the possibility of a central configuration store for your entire enterprise!!!!!!!! and is in my mind the only way to go

I was trying to get some indexing recommendations from the Database Engine Tuning Advisor by consuming a trace file with known indexing issues. After several minutes all it did was create a report or two which list existing indexes. Not very useful. I must be doing something wrong.
A message displays that "75% of the consumed workload has syntax errors." I guess it can't take a regular trace (.trc) file?
I am conderned that the trace file I used did not contain what the Advisor needs. Do I need to setup the trace a special way to support the Advisor?
Also, what does "Database for workload analysis" mean? I chose tempdb but there is no Help, and BOL is a maze of small uninformative snippets . . .
I'm quite addicted to Patterns-&-Practices Enterprise.Library.Data module, but I can't get it to access a SQL Server Express Database. I've tried several different .CONFIG files and a unch of different settings and I keep getting:
The local database "XXYYZZ" is not defined in configuration.
I'm using Visual Studio 2005 C# in a WinForms application.
Can Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Data access SQL Server Express Database????
I have SQL 2008 R2 instance and would like to install SSRS 2012. I have below query related to database configuration...Is there any performance impact while using SQL 2008R2 instance?Once configured SSRS database on 2008 R2, Will there any issue if we move our SQL instance from 2008R2 to SQL 2012 in future?
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.
On the machine DBSP01 we have the TEST database running. In the SQL environment we created the user Test. This user was set up to be the database owner of the TEST database. To make a connection to the Test database, the user Test was used and everything works perfect. On the machine DBSP02 we also created a database called TEST and a user called Test, who was database owner of the TEST database. Again we where able to connect to the database by using the user Test. Now we set up a so called mirror configuration. This means that we have one active database, called the principal database, and a standby database, called the mirror. The active database is used to communicate to the outside, while the standby database is copying every change from the active database. This way the principal database and the mirror database contain always the same data. When one of the databases is acting as a mirror database, this database cannot be reached from the outside. After a while it can happen that the principal database fails for some reason. The database is not capable to run properly, so it stops. The mirror database will become the principal database and the outside can connect to the new principal database. Here we have a problem: the user Test is no longer the database owner of the TEST database. For some reason the user Test is disconnected as database owner of the TEST database when the database is acting as mirror. I can€™t find the reason for this problem and I can also not find a solution for this problem.
When i try to connected to existing configuration database it's only shows NT AUTHORITYNETWORK SERVICE as my login user for database access , when i type another user , error message " you must specifay the same user account as your farm server you wish to join " how i can change it.
please help me how i can change the configuration user and password for my singel farm server

I have installed SSRS 2012 Standard Edition in our DR site. We replicate over the reporting server databases over from our Production server via storage replication. It is on a different server than the reporting service. When I configure the SSRS in DR it is still seeing the SSRS from our Production server and tries to make it a scale out deployment which it is obviously not allowed to be because of the edition.Is there something in the database itself I need to change so it doesn't think the production server is still connecting?
