Being very new to SQL Server, I have to ask - when I try to connect to SQL Server 2005 using TCP/IP I cannot. To accomplish this I was directed to use the Surface Area Configuration utility.
When I do this, I do not see the Database Engine the docks reffer to - any help/comments/suggestions?
Thanks,
Chris
Hi,
I'm posting this in the Setup forum as I think the problem relates to my SQL Server Configuration. Being new to server management pls ask for more info if I don't explain this clearly enough, I'm running out of idea.
Here's the set up:
Windows Server 2003 Web Edition SP2
SQL Server 2005 Enterprise Edition SP1
When I try to run apps I get the following message:
SQL Network Interfaces, error: 26 - Error Locating Server/Instance Specified)
I've found some great notes on the TechNet forums explaining this error and how to resolve it by configuring the Surface Area Tool... remote connections etc
But, this is where I draw a blank as I cannot access the Surafce Area Configuartion for Services and Connections because certain components are not installed, or I do not have admin rights. I definitly have the admin rights, but have no idea where to start looking for aforementioned components.
During the SQL Server install I recevied the warning:
SQL Service Edition System Compatibility - Some components of this edition of SQL Server are not supported on this Op system.
It sounds pretty generic and doesn't offer anymore details, but could this be effecting it?
I've also noticed that when I open SQL Server Configuration Manager and click on SQL Server 2005 Services nothing appears in the right-hand panel??? I'm sure there should be???
I've been all over TechNet & Books online and cannot find any reference for what I'm experiencing.
Any help or guidance will be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
Dear All,
i'm trying to publish a maintenance plan in sql server 2005.
but soon after right click and selecting a new maintenance plan, it is displaying an alert with "AgentXP's component" is turned off.
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.
Any help would be extremely appreciated...
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.
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
Hi Dear
I have been trying to add SQL database to my web application and have to configure the SQL to allow remote accee.
I would like to start the Database Engine Service when I click on start button to start the service it dissplay following message:
An error occurred while performing this operation
Severa; time I restart the computer still, When I try it is same problem.
thank for yout help.
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.
Feedback is greatly appreciated.
Thanks
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.
Best Regards,
Hans
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.
Thanks
Hello all, I hope someone can help me with this.
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.
Best, Amy
I was studying the SQL Server 2005 Surface Area Configuration tool to see how i could increase security.
I cannot find some of the components in “Surface area Configuration of Features�.
For example DAC appears to be missing. This is a dedicated administrator connection that allows an administrator to connect to a server.
Is this because I have SQL 2005 express instead of the professional version or could it even be to do with the operating system (XP home)
Only the following components are listed under "Database Engine":
Ad Hoc Remote Queries
CLR Integration
Native XML Web Services
OLE Automation
Service Broker
Xp_cmdshell
Thanks
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?

I have just finished installing SQL 2005 Ent Edition on Win 2000 Adv Server, SQL2005 SP2, and SP2 Hotfix KB934458.

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.

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.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Currently have a single hard coded file path to the SSRS config file which parses the file and provides the reporting services web service url. Â My question is how would i run this same query against 100s of servers that may or may not share the same file path as the one hard coded ?
Is there a way to query the registry to find the location of the config file of any server ? which could be on D, E, F, H, etc.Â
I know I can string together the address followed by "reports" and named instance if needed, but some instances may not have used the default virtual directory name (Reports).
Am I going about this the hard way ? Is there a location where the web service url exists in a table ? I could not locate anything in the Reporting service database. Basically need to inventory all of my reporting services url's.
Is there a way to refer to "current report item" using something like "this" or "me"? For example: I find myself often cutting and copying code to change the format or color of text boxes based on their value thoughout a report, and it seems like it'd be more efficient to write the formatting code once and then call it from each text box.
surface some data stored in an Access database via SQL Server, ultimately to be consumed by SharePoint. Â
I understand how to push existing tables to SQL Server as new tables. Â In my case, what I am hoping to do is to link an Access query with a table in SQL Server, and have that table be updated each time the query is run (or even each time the database is updated). Â
Hi,
I am trying to create a report in report in reporting services.
The requirement is to display the data in a chart. A surface chart to be exact.
It appears that reporting services has most of the Excel type charts available to display the data but I do not see the Surface Chart type. Is this type available in SQL Server 2005 reporting services? If not, is there a 3rd party software available that integrates into BIDS?
Thanks
We have a winforms application with local rdlc reports. Â On Surface Windows 8 Pro devices only, reports render such that they are scaled down and don't fill the page. Â If resolution is lowered on the device, the report scales up to fill the page.
 This affects the appearance in print layout and well as the actual printed size.
If we export to pdf, it renders to fill the page (as expected). Â If you print to pdf or to printer, the scale is shrunken.
If we change the resolution settings so that "Make  text and other items larger or smaller" is set to small, the issue is resolved except the tablet is not very usable on this setting.Is this a bug?
Does anyone know if SQL7 will work with Storage Area Networks(SAN's)? I've read that SQL2000 implements something called a Virtual Interface System Area Network (VI SAN) that allows communication with devices connected via a SAN.
My site is installing a SAN and I need to know if SQL7 can utilize those resources (Storage,etc) and how reliable if so.

I have files with area codes that are several years old. Everything I've seen about updating area codes deals with area codes that are current and are about to split in the near future. How would I go about bringing old area codes up to date?

Is it possible to display fields from 2 datasets in one table?
We have the need to determine surrounding counties of a particular county.
For example how can I determine, if I entered a zip code for Contra Costa and the property is also right on the line of alameda that Alameda is a neighboring county of Contra Costa
Could it be determined by the longitude and latitude of the zip code in comparison with the counties?
We are trying to determine what SQL Server 2000 Edition is required for our environment. We really don't need any of the features that Enterprise Edition offers over Standard Edition, except that our disk storage is on a System Area Network (SAN). BOL says that SAN is not supported under Standard Edition, but I am under the impression, that if we are not using distributed queries or replication, then Enterprise Edition is not neccessary.
Any help?

Is there a way to set the default so that the parameter area is displayed by default when running a report in Report Manager. Currently you have to go up and hit the arrows to open the parameter area. I'd like it to be open by default.
Thanks.
We have some reports that allow null values for parameters and I find the "Null" label next the parameters in the report viewer to be completly the wrong thing i want to show to business users.
Has anyone worked out a way to change this label to something more meaningful?

Is there a way to force the parameter input area to always show even when default values are specified? I want to always display the parameter area even when I set initial parameters.
