With two 64 bit quad core processors on the server, we have 8 processor cores. Does this mean that we'll need Windows Server 2003 x64 Enterprise edition because Standard only supports up to 4-way SMP?
Thanks!
The number of data files within a single filegroup should equal to the number of CPU cores. So for a quad core CPU there should be 4 data files. Is there anything that one need to take care besides creating the data files for a filegroup. I belieev SQL takes care of itself how to update data files .

if it DOESNT, any idea if they plan on releasing a service back to allow it to?
I am new to this so I hope I'm doing it right.
We are in the process of replacing a computer that currently has SQL 2005 Management Studio Express installed. We are looking at a Intel Core 2 Quad processor (Q6700) and want to know if SQL will be able to make full use of a quad core. Thanks
hi all,
I was under the impression that SQL Server 2005 can install on dual processor, quad core Intel machines.
Here's what we have: Intel Quad Core Xeon (E7340) @ 2.4Ghz. (8 way)
Has anyone encountered any issues w/ this setup -- particularly on this Intel CPU version?
thank you,

If SQL Server Setup fails, Setup will roll back the installation but may not remove all .manifest files. The workaround is to rename the files and then rerun Setup. For more information, see How to: Work Around COM+ Check Failure in SQL Server Setup.
We are currently running SQL Server 2005 Standard Edition on a
Windows 2003 R2 server standard edition 32-bit OS.
We are planning to upgrade the OS to Windows 2003 R2 Enterprise Edition 32-bit
and up the RAM to 8 GBs.
Can SQL Server 2005 Standard Edition take advantage of the extra memory ?
Can SQL Server 2005 Standard Edition use 5-6 GB of ram ?

I recently bought a Dell server with Windows 2003 enterprise edition. I wanted the X32 version and metnioned of the same to the sales people, but somehow they put the x64 edition on the server. The database I am planning to use does not work on X64 edition as of now. How do I downgrade the OS to X32 version? Do I need to send the system back to Dell? Machine not opened yet. Or is there a way I can get software CD and downgrade to X32 version?
Thanks,

I am looking for some recommendations for memory sizing and options for a SQL 2000 Cluster. This is a two node cluster built on Windows 2003 ENT SP1 (x86). Both the nodes have the following hardware:
- 4 x Dual Core AMD Processors
- 16 GB Memory
- EMC Shared Disk
We are running six SQL 2000 instances and don't expect each of these instances to use more than 1.7 GB of memory. All these instances are going to support BizTalk 2004 Databases. I already have /PAE enabled on the nodes. I am looking for the following answers:
- Do I need to enable AWE on all the instances even if the instances ? Currently, we don't have that enabled and we have seen some issues regarding excessive paging even when there is physical memory available. The DBAs think that we don't need to enable AWE. I am bit confused on this one.
- We normally run 3 instances on each node and would like size the cluster in such a way that it can take six instances in case of a node failure
Any input will be highly appreciated.
Will it be possible to do an in-place upgrade from SQL 2000 Server Enterprise SP4 32 bit running on top of 64 bit Windows 2003 Enterprise , clustered, to SQL 2005 Enterprise 64 bit?
The 32 bit SQL 2000 to 64 bit SQL 2005 in place upgrade seems questionable to me...
Anybody tried anything like this?
I found sql2005 Enterprise cannot be installed under Simplied Chinese win 2003, the only thing i suspect is that win2003 is an envaluation copy with netframework 2.0 be installed.

I'm trying to install SQL Server 2005 Enterprise Edition 64-bit on a 64-bit instance of Windows 2008 running as Server Core. I read about an issue in KB article 920201, but I don't even get that far. The setup first tries to install .NET Framework 2.0, which fails with error message:
Error 70243 installing .NET Framework 2.0
I tried installing .NET Framework separately, which indicates that I need to install Internet Explorer 5.01. I'm reluctant to try that, so I'd like to know if the people that actually got to the issue in KB920201 installed IE first (is that even possible?).

I've just started getting this EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION (0xc0000005) on machines using Windows 2000 sp4 connecting to SQLServer. This is crashing JVMs (multiple Sun versions and BEA also) in the Java VM frame (outside our code). This has just started recently - perhaps with the last set of patches? Has anyone else seen this or know what I could do to get more information? Could this be related to updates to named pipes?
Thanks!

We have purchased Windows 2003 Small Business Edition Premium.
Our company uses Analysis Manager / Analysis Services and also MDX functions. However Release2 only appears to have SQL 2005 Workgroup edition with it and these features do not seem to be present.
Does anybody know how I upgrade to get these functions? I don’t know if these functions can be downloaded or whether we have to upgrade by purchasing SQL Server Standard 2005 edition outright?
Thanks, Stephen.
Hi,I am unable to connect to a database in my SQL 2000 Server installed ona Windows 2003 Server machine from an asp page. It gives the thefollowing error:Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server (0x80004005)Login failed for user 'sa'. Reason: Not associated with a trusted SQLServer connection.I also sometimes get:MSDataShape (0x80004005)Data provider could not be initialized.I can connect with the same connection string and parameters from avisual basic 6 application.I can also connect the web client with the same DB in SQL 2000 runningon Windows 2000/XP.The authentication mode is mixed.I believe it is something to do with security. Please advise me on whatto do. It is very urgent.

I have been searching the net and haven't found anything that has worked so far for resolving this issue, hopefully someone on here can provide some insight?
I did a fresh install of a Windows 2003 Standard Edition server (as part of a workgroup, not a domain..the server is only temporary for testing) and installed MSDE 2000A (the version that contains all current service packs). I can use the MSDE server locally on the server without any issue...however when I try to connect to MSDE with a workstation, it tells me that Access is denied or the Server does not exist.
The ICF is disabled, and all passowrds being entered have been checked, however I still can not connect to the sql server. Does anyone have any ideas on this or run into this problem before?
Set up - windows server 2003 - SQL server 2000 + tools installed
Not sure why its happening but recently when running some scripts onto one of the databases held on the server windows crashes.
I say crashes - it is non responsive but the mouse cursor can be moved.
these scripts are not being run from the server but from one of many machines on our companies network.
Any suggestions would be great

View 1 Replies View RelatedAt first I thought it was just me, but has anyone else noticed that SQL 2005 suffers a performance hit when you install Windows Server 2003 SP2?
Since SP2, memory and hard drive usage has gone through the roof on a number of servers I use. It may just be coincidence... but it seems unlikely.
I am following the MCTS Self-Paced Training Kit for Exam 70-431 (implementation and maintenance of sql server 2005) and one of the prerequisites is that I have Microsoft Windows Server 2003 running on my computer on an NTFS file system (NTFS) partition. Now am I right in thinking Windows Server 2003 is an operating system. If it is can I install it alongside XP Professional which I am currently running. I am currently afraid to go ahead with the installation as I am worried it will overwrite XP, which would be disastrous as I have a great deal of data on it.
Thanks
