Hello,
After installing SQL Server 2005, I get a message stating "You must
use SQL Server 2005 management tools to connect to this server", while
trying to connect to my localhost using SQL Server 2000 Enterprise
Manager.
Regards,
junior
We have just moved from 2000 to 2005 and ever time I try to open store procedure or function I was getting this error message...
[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Drive] To connect to this server you must use SQL Server Management Studio or SQL Server Management Objects (SMO)
So I installed "Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Backward Compatibility Components" from "Feature Pack for Microsoft SQL Server 2005 - April 2006" on the client machine and this resolved the issue. Specifically i installed the "SQL Distributed Management Objects (SQL-DMO) feature .....,
how I am getting following error message
[SQL-DMO]You must use SQL Server 2005 management tools to connect to this server
How can I disabled all other features.
Thanks,
Hi Team,
Is there any management tools in SQL SERVER 2005? I just installed my standard edition and also developer version in different computer, but seems that both versions doesn't support management tools such as query analyzer.
Can anyone explain to me...
Thanks.
I have been investigating this issue and here is what I have found, when using SQL Server 8 Query Analyzer the results show that for example xp_regread has Execute permissions granted to €˜public€™ role. When checking the Same using the SQL Server 2005 Management Studio the results show that there are no Execute permissions granted to €˜Public€™ Role.
So the following Query doesn't return any results on Management Studio SQL Server 2005:
SELECT sysusers.name
, Status =
CASE protecttype
WHEN 204 THEN 'GRANT_W_GRANT'
WHEN 205 THEN 'GRANT'
WHEN 206 THEN 'REVOKE'
ELSE 'Unknown'
END
, Permission =
CASE action
WHEN 193 THEN 'SELECT'
WHEN 195 THEN 'INSERT'
WHEN 196 THEN 'DELETE'
WHEN 197 THEN 'UPDATE'
WHEN 26 THEN 'REFERENCE'
WHEN 224 THEN 'EXECUTE'
ELSE 'Unknown'
END
, sysobjects.name
FROM sysprotects, sysobjects, sysusers
WHERE sysobjects.id = sysprotects.id
AND sysprotects.action IN (193, 195, 196, 197, 224, 26)
AND sysprotects.uid = sysusers.uid
AND sysusers.name = 'public'
AND (sysobjects.name like '%xp_%' OR sysobjects.name like '%sp_OA%')
Where as running the Same Query in SQL Server 8.0 Query Analyzer will return results, saying there are a few extended procs available to Public for Execute.
Do you know whats going on here?
Thanks!
hi .everyone !
i have ms visual studio 2005 with sql sever 2005 management tools
anyway .. i want to use and install sql server 2000 in this machine .. i tried to install it, but when i tried to connect to the server .. it gives me this error:
"you must use sql server 2005 management tools to connect to this server"
can you help me ? plz !?
I'm having many many issues installing sql server management tools. i had visual studio 2005 installed first, but uninstalled and sql related things before trying to install sql server management tools again - i also deleted the program files/microsoft sql server/ folder so there are no references.
Firstly the system configuration check gives me a warning that the system doesn't meet the recommended hardware requirements - this is wrong... i've got 2.33Ghz dual core + 1gb of ram...
I select just management tools + client connectivity to install and click next -> the setup support files/native client/owc11 etc all install fine but workstation components etc fail and the setup log appears to either be empty and not available
and MSXML6 fails... after clicking finish the installer appears to crash - : "Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Setup has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience"... I have tried all sorts of variations on this install and have had no problems in the past - please help!
The setup log from the MSXML6 failure -

Can I connect to remote SQL 2005 server through SQL Server Management Studio Express? I always get a error code 18456 when I try to connect to SQL 2005 server through SQL Server Management Studio Express. I'm sure I enter correct username and password!
View 3 Replies View RelatedHello,
I just installed SQL Server 2005 Enterprise edition from my company's DVD. It was installed with the setting of using both Integrated windows authenitication as well as basic named authenication. I installed all the options too: Database Engine, Analysis Services, Reporting Services, SQL Server compact edition, and Integration Services. When I look at services there are: SQL Server Integration Services, SQL Server Analysis Services, SQL Server Reporting Services, and SQL Server Browser. All of which are running. Something that took me offguard was the installation did not ask me to provide an SA password. Other than that, the install looked like it went good.
I was able to connect to the local instance of the SQL Server 2005 using the SQL Server Management Studio. I could connect with SA, or connect with Integrated Windows Authenication. Whoohoo. Off and running! As a matter of fact, for the SA account I could use any password and it would still log me in.
First thing I did was I went in to the copy wizard to attempt to copy a database from a server on our network to my local box. First it asked me for the remote server. Then when I specified my local instance in the wizard, the wizard complained that my local instance was NOT SQL Server 2005. Doh! This I didn't understand. I figured maybe I need to check for MS updates. Sure enough, I found that ther was a SP2 and then a hot-fix for that SP2. I applied both. Now I cannot connect from SQL Server Management studio to my local instance of SQL Server 2005 database server. I get the following error:
"An error 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)"
However, I went in to see what other services I could connect to, and here's the results:
Analysis Services : OK!
Reporting Services (Windows Auth/Basic/Forms) : NG "The reporting Services Instance could not be found (Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.UI.RSClient)"
SQL Server Compact Edition : NG "The database cannot be found. Check the path to the database. [ File Name = CCG092 ] (SQL Server Compact Edition ADO.NET Data Provider)
Integration Services : OK!
I can connect to other SQL Server databases on our network. However, just not my local one. No one on the network can connect to me either.
I even turned off my windows firewall and still no luck connecting to my own.
So something really went wrong when I applied SP2, however, admittedly from the error message when I tried to use the copy wizard, something was probably already wrong.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
Hi All,
I have a brand new install of sql server 2005 on brand new WINDOWS SERVER2003 with latest versions. Every thing works fine excepting I get a 404 when I connect to report server from management studio..

hello,
I have a question about opening files in the Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Management Studio.
In the old Query Analyzer from SQL 2000 I can open SQL Files via drag & drop (from explorer to QA) or open it with a double click in the explorer. Then the Files opened, if I had actual a connection to a server / database (QA is stared with one file and has a connection to Server/Datebase), with this connection.
Now in Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Management Studio I'll be asked everytime for Server and have to get the database from the database list - it does not connect automaticly to server/database, that is actual connected (I have opened a file with the connection and a connected database in the object explorer).
Someone do not have this problem - but we found no option to set it up.
Any ideas?
thanks &
best regards,

I have recently installed the SQL Server Management Studio Express but I do not find Management Tools in order to create scheduled backups and shrinking of the databases. I was under the impression that this should be included in the Management Studio. I use the SQL 2005 Express for smaller customers who run the SQL on a desktop unit. I need a way to backup the data to a server machine for backup purposes. I have uninstalled and reinstalled to no avail.
I am unable to connect to my database on a VPS server using server management studio express. I am able to ping the server. can connect to a local database but i have the same issue as others
Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 - Could not open a connection to SQL Server
have set the server so that it will allow remote connections and reset the server just to make sure that it has been implemented.
when i use osql in command prompt to make a test connection it tells me this

on this forum it says to perform a ping and and an a ping a- to my server which does work.
Have been working on this for 3 days and can't figure it out.
Even had a guy in New Zealand who is usually my messiah of SQL and he can't figure it out so I'll be impressed if someone knows the answer.
I will buy a crate of beer for the person who solves this for me as this problem is costing me money! Maybe even 2 if done by end of tomorrow 6pm GMT!
If you don't want the beers, i will be more than happy to give a virtual pat on the back. :-)
If you need any more info, i will be watching this thread like a hawk so i'll happily answer any questions that you may have if i can.
Thanks in advance
Hopefully a simple question: Is it possible to use Maintenance Plans created on SQL Server Management Studio (installed as part of an instance of SQL Server 2005 Standard Ed.) to back up databases running on an instance of SQL Server Express Edition with Advanced Services? I don't need directions, just whether or not it is permitted.
I've been able to create the plans including establishing connections to from SSMS to the the SQL Express instance, but they keep erroring out. I just need to know if this is actually permitted since Maintenance Plans are not available on Management Studio Express Edition.
Thank you in advance for your help.
Can anyone tell me where to download the management tools for SQL Server 2005 Express?
Thank you,
>> I was able to solve this. Read the bottom of the post.
I just installed SQL Server 2005 Standard Edition and none of the management tools seem to be there. At least they do not show up in Start>>All Programs>>Microsoft SQL Server 2005. All that shows up is the Configuration Tools menu item.
I have been searching through the forum and I have found dozens of other threads about this, but none that seem to actually answer the question or give a solution. Some say to delete everything and start over, others say to review Visual Studio 2005 (which takes something like 4 hours to install, and then you still have to install all of the 3rd party tools, so I don't want to do that unless I just have to), and a few others say to uninstall SQL Server Express and then reinstall SQL Server. However, I believe that I selected to install them both at the same time.
Anyway, I just looking for some ideas here to get all of this installed. There seems to be some problem here that a lot of people are having to deal with.
Are the Managment Tools disabled by default? It seems that in 2005 a lot of the services are turned off by default so I'm wondering if I have to do something to turn on the Management Tools.
Best regards,
Greg Rothlander
I just uninstalled and reinstalled per some threads on the forum and it all showed up. Apperently if anyone runs into this, just uninstall everything that has to do with Microsoft SQL Server and reinstall.
I have been trying for 2 days now to get the SQL Server management tools installed on client machines. I'm starting to think it is not possible to do that the way we used to be able to with previous versions of SQL Server. I have installed 3rd party open source software on my own machine so that I can query the database without logging onto the server directly and would like for my co-workers to be able to do the same. As I mentioned we tried the SQL Server Management studio and all we get is a message saying to uninstall all the beta and Visual Studio *** on our machines. We stripped one machine all the way down to the OS and still kept getting that message so I'm guessing it is some new Windows Vista issue that makes SQL Server 2005 client tools completely incompatible with XP. However, we are not going to bow to Microsoft's evil ways and upgrade to their new OS just to use the SQL Server Studio. If need be I will write my own software to workaround this problem. In the meantime, can anyone recommend some good 3rd party tools that will allow us to query the SQL Server 2005 database on a server and preferably one that does not require all other software be removed first?

Can the SQL Server 2005 Management Studio interact with local SQL 2005 Express databases. So can we use one management tool for both our server (non-local) SQL 2005 Databases and our local SQL 2005 Express databases (That the developers have free reign over).
Any tips and tricks for this kind of setup?

Can't connect to local server instance MSSQLSERVER in SQL Server Management Studio (SQL2005 sp2/Vista).
SQL Server Configuration Manager reports SQL Server2005 services: SQL Server (MSSQLSERVER) Running. This would indicate the name of the SQL server is "MSSQLSERVER" correct? I chose "default" instance during the install and that is the name it gave itself.
I tried connecting to the server using the following for the Server Name: MSSQLSERVER and .MSSQLSERVER neither works.
The only thing that works for my installation is just plain "." (no quotes) and nothing else. Can this be correct because I can't find any reference to this. Thanks.
I downloaded and performed a full install of SQL Server Express 2008 Nov CTP. It was installed on a fresh installation of Windows Vista Enterprise x64.
During setup, I checked the 'Client Tools' box which has the description:
"Includes management and development tools: SQL Server Management Studio, SQL Server Configuration Manager, SQL Server Profiler, and Database Engine Tuning Advisor"
The installation ran fine with no errors. After install I looked for the Management Studio but couldnt find it anywhere. No SQL Server Profiler or Database Tuning Advisor either. The only tool that appears to have installed is the SQL Server Configuration Manager.

What is the issue here?
I've successfully installed SQL Server 2005 Standard Edition on an Enterprise edition of Windows Server 2003 x64. I'm now (and also tried & failed during the install of the database engine) attempting to install the "Management Tools" component on the same server. However, in all my attempts to do so, I receive the following error:
---
The feature(s) specified are not valid for this edition of SQL Server
---
The message box does not list the features that are not valid but since the only item I've selected to install is the "Management Tools" option under "Client Components" it obviously points to something with that.
Am I missing something or are the Management Tools not supported in my config - most notably SQL Server 2005 Standard edition running on Windows Server 2003 x64?
Thanks.

before this, i used sql 2005 express to create .sql file to learn sql and it's perfectly fine since the connect to server prompt offers me a default server to connect to but when i use sql server 2005 there is no server for me to connect to. My question is how to create a server to connect to.

I have VS2008 installed. Now, I need to install the SQL server Management Tools, because of tasks I have on SQL server instances which are installed on other servers. I guess a lot of developers are in such a situation. You develop on your own machine, but deploy the final database on a production machine.And you happen to be the manager of those databases too (well, I am)
Now, it seems impossible to install the neccesary tools as I get messages;
The following components that you chose to install are already installed on the machine. To view a report of available options and alternatives click on details (Workstation components, Books Online and development tools 9.2.3042.00)
Then on the Details, it says the following,
Name: Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Tools Express Edition
Reason: Your upgrade is blocked. For more information about upgrade support, see the "Version and Edition Upgrades" and "Hardware and Software Requirements" topics in SQL Server 2005 Setup Help or SQL Server 2005 Books Online.
Build version check:
Your upgrade is blocked because the existing component is a later version than the version you are trying to upgrade to. To modify an existing SQL Server component, go to Add or Remove Programs in Control Panel, select the component you would like to modify, and then click Change/Remove.
Now, I have no clue of what can be safely removed to allow the installation of the Management Tools. I am afraid that I will end up with a non-working SQL server Express installation which is required for VS2008
What should I do to get these Managment Tools installed on my develop machine?
