MSDE 2000 Upgrade To SQL 2005 Express

Apr 3, 2007

Hi,



I have 2 MSDE 2000 Instances installed on Windows 2003 Server STd w/ SP1.



The application relating to the default instance is being upgraded and will require SQL 2005 Express.



What is the best approach? So the named instance of MSDE 2000 still functions correctly.



Upgrade default instance of MSDE to SQL 2005, or install SQL 2005 Express to own path and restore the DB accross? Then remove the Default Instance of MSDE 2000.



Both MSDE 2000 Instances are listed in Add/Remove Programs.



Thanks

Msde 2000 - Sql 2005 Express Upgrade Issue.

Feb 16, 2007

Hey, This is my first time posting here but here goes nothing...

Ok I upgraded an xp machine running to sql express 2005 by doing the inplace upgrade. The upgrade process went great, after the upgrade I could connect to the databases that had been upgraded using the management studio.

BUT.

When I try to connect to the databases using the third party software which had always worked in the past I get the error when trying to access from both the client and server machines.

[DBNETLIB][Connection open()).]SQL Server does not exist or access denied.

I then tried setting up SQL express 2005 on another xp station just to test how things worked if it wasn't an upgrade. I installed, attached the databases (which I copied to that local machine) and I was able to connect to them through the third party software from the server machine, but not client machines. The client machines gave me the same error as above.

Does anyone have any ideas, I have been talking to the third party support but haven't gotten any where yet... does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks,

Upgrade From MSDE 2000 Release A To SQL Server 2005 Express

Jun 28, 2006

I'm trying to upgrade the Default Instance of MSDE 2000 Release A which is installed with Mixed Mode and strong password to SQL Server 2005 Express in a Windows 2000 Server with SP4.  On the Upgrade Logon Information screen, if I select SQL Server Authentication Mode, it will give me this message:

SQL Server Setup Cannot Upgrade the specified instance by using SQL Server Credential.  You must use Windows Authentication credential for the upgrade.

Thanks for any help.

Upgrade From 2000 To 2005, Version Still Says 8.0.2039

Oct 13, 2006

I just installed 2005 and accepted all the defaults to upgrade the default instance of 2000 as prompted. However, when I open the SQL Server Mgnt Studio, my server shows 8.0.2039 as the version which is 2000, and I can't restore a backup from another 2005 server, because it gives an error message like it still thinks its 2000. The whole installation process went fine including sp1. I looked in Services to see if there was more than one instance of SQL Server, and there isn't. Also, all my database files are still in the old 2000 (mssqldata) directory. Any ideas, solutions? Thanks.

MSDE Upgrade To SQL Server 2005 Express Edition SP2

Sep 26, 2007

Hi,

I am trying to upgrade MSDE 2000 to MS SQL Server 2005 Express Edition SP2 (Build 9.00.3042.0) using a silent install.
MSDE on our systems is installed as a standalone product. There is only a single default instance (MSSQLSERVER) running on the system. SQL Authentication mode is being used.
When I try and upgrade MSDE 2000 directly to MS SQL Server 2005 Express Edition SP2, the install fails with an error:

"SQL Server Setup Cannot Upgrade the specified instance by using SQL Server Credential. You must use Windows Authentication credential for the upgrade"

When I try to upgrade the default instance of MSDE to SQL Server 2005 Express Edition SP2 selecting Windows authentication (logging in as a domain/local administrator to the server), the install fails with an error:

"Server Setup could not connect to the database service for server configuration. The error was: [Microsoft][SQL Native Client][SQL Server]Login failed for user <mydomain><AdminID>"

However, MSDE 2000 upgrade to an earlier version of MS SQL Server 2005 Express Edition (Build 9.00.1399.6) using SA Authentication works successfully without any errors.

So I tried to upgrade our MSDE installation to SQL Server 2005 Express Edition SP2 (Build 9.00.3042.0) as a 2 step process. First by upgrading MSDE to SQL Server 2005 (Build 9.00.1399.6) using SA Authentication which works successfully as mentioned earlier.

However, when I try and upgrade SQL Server 2005 (Build 9.00.1399.6) to SQL Server 2005 SP2 (Build 9.00.3042.0) using SA Authentication, I receive the same error as before:

"SQL Server Setup Cannot Upgrade the specified instance by using SQL Server Credential. You must use Windows Authentication credential for the upgrade"

When I upgrade using Windows Authentication, the setup displays the following error:

"[Microsoft][SQL Native Client][SQL Server]Password validation failed. The password does not meet the requirements of the password filter DLL.. To continue, correct the problem, and then run SQL Server Setup again"

The log file content for the error is:

The registry entries suggest that the version now is 9.00.3042.0. However, I am not sure if the upgrade was successful. I can connect to the database using the old SA user ID and password.

If anyone else has faced similar issues, please let me know the workaround for the same.

Thanks and Regards,

MSDE Upgrade To SQL Server 2005 Express Edition SP2

Sep 28, 2007

Hi,

I am planning an upgrade from MSDE to SQL Server 2005 Express Edition SP2 (Build 9.00.3042.0) for our 2000/2K3 Servers. The MSDE installation on our servers is a standalone installation (default instance) and uses Mixed Mode Authentication. When I execute the setup program for upgrade and choose SQL Server Authentication (and enter the corresponding SA user Id password), the setup program displays an error "SQL Server Setup cannot upgrade the specified instance by using SQL Server Credential. You must use Windows Authentication credential for the upgrade". However, when I select Windows Authentication for the upgrade, the setup program displays an error €ś[Microsoft][SQL Native Client][SQL Server]Password validation failed. The password does not meet the requirements of the password filter DLL.. To continue, correct the problem, and then run SQL Server Setup again€? (Error Code 15119).

I even tried changing the Authentication mode from Mixed Mode to Windows Authentication (by changing the LoginMode registry key value to 1) and running the upgrade using Windows Authentication, but I receive the same error.

1) Is the password policy for SQL Server 2005 Express Edition SP2 different from MSDE or SQL Server 2005 Express Edition (Initial Version), since upgrade from MSDE to SQL Server 2005 Express Edition (Initial Version) worked successfully without any issues.
2) When I am using Windows Authentication for the upgrade, the installer does not prompt me for any password. What password is the installer validating against the password filter DLL? Is there a way to find it out? Also, is it possible to find out what was the reason for the password validation to fail?

I would really appreciate if I could get some answers to all the problems I am facing.

Thanks in Advance.

Regards,
Sahil Girotra

MSDE Upgrade To SQL Server 2005 Express Edition SP2

Sep 6, 2007

I have a Windows Server 2000/Windows Server 2003 Environments with MSDE installed (default instance) and SecurityMode is SQL. I want to upgrade from MSDE to SQL Server 2005 Express Edition using a silent install since the number of servers is huge.

I downloaded the latest SQL Server 2005 Express Edition SP2 Version 9.0.3042.0 from http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/express/bb410792.aspx

I am having the following problems:
- When I try to upgrade the default instance of MSDE (MSSQLSERVER) to SQL Server 2005 Express Edition SP2 using the above installer and selecting SQL authentication, the install fails with an error "SQL Server Setup Cannot Upgrade the specified instance by using SQL Server Credential. You must use Windows Authentication credential for the upgrade".
- When I try to upgrade the default instance of MSDE (MSSQLSERVER) to SQL Server 2005 Express Edition SP2 using the above installer and selecting Windows authentication, the install fails with an error "Server Setup could not connect to the database service for server configuration. The error was: [Microsoft][SQL Native Client][SQL Server]Login failed for user <mydomain><AdminID>

I had earlier tested upgrading the MSDE installation to SQL Server 2005 Express Edition Version 9.00.1399.6 downloaded from http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=220549b5-0b07-4448-8848-dcc397514b41&displaylang=en and the upgrade worked successfully using SQL Authentication (SA User and corresponding password), but for some reason it doesn't work when I use the latest version 9.0.3042.0.

Has anyone else faced similar issues. Any tips on how I can upgrade from MSDE to SQL Server 2005 Express Edition SP2 are welcome.

Thanks in Advance.

How Upgrade MSDE Database To SQL Express 2005 On Different Server

Jun 21, 2007

I have a database on one server that is running MSDE and I would like to copy it to another server running SQL Server Express.



The process I followed was to create a backup on the first server.

Copy the backup file to the other sever

Then restore using the backed database file on the new server



Is this the right procedure? Everything I see about migrating in on the same server. I do not want to do it on the same server as we are migrating the application to the new server.

Upgrading Localized MSDE-server To The English Version Of SQL Server Express 2005?

Aug 6, 2007

Hello,

at the moment I have the following problem:
We have installed a version of the MSDE 2000 Sp3 with our software since 2005. Now we install SQL Server Express 2005 in order to use the latest version and to be compatible with Vista.
We have never had any problems with the MSDE, so it was no problem that we installed the german version (by mistake) because there never was any output at installation time.
When we now upgrade the existing MSDE installing the new version of our software, there are often problems and there are error messages, unfortunately in german, which cannot be read by most of our international users.

The problem is, that there seems to be no possibility to upgrade the existing (german) MSDE with the english version of SQL Server Express 2005.
My question is, if it is possible to upgrade the german MSDE to the english SQL Server 2005 to enable our international users to read the error messages at installation time in english?

Thanks in advance.

Best regards,
Peter

SQL 2000, SQL 2005 Express Upgrade

Apr 5, 2007

Hello

Server Details:
OS => Windows Server 2003
SQL => SQL Server 2005

Client Machines:
OS => WinXP sp2
SQL => 2000, 2005 express

The developers at work connect remotely to the server. Some of them have the "client SQL 2005 express" and others are using "SQL 2000"

Over the next week I plan to upgrade all the developers to 2005 Standard.

I have performed an upgrade of '2005 express' to '2005 standard' and encountered no problems. However I have no experience upgrading the 2000 client.

Can anyone suggest a strategy (fresh install/upgrade)or highlight any pitfalls that I should avoid.

Thanks in advance for any help/suggestions offered.

I am hiring a server at a hosting company. This server contains a dozen websites that i made and they all have their own database.
Well, i received a message from my hosting company that they go to remove the SQL 2000 Standard and replace it by SQL 2005 Express.
What do I have to think about that? Can this give database connection problems?

SQL Express Beta To SQL Express Current Version

Apr 1, 2006

I have a database which was created in a beta release of SQL Server Express. It was also create when I had the .Net Framework 2.0 Beta installed.

Since then, I have installed .Net Framework 2.0 (Current Release) because that is what was required for MS SQL Server Management Studio Express.

When I try to connect to the DB now it says Cannot connect to server.

I also have the mdf/ldf files. When I try to attach them on another computer running the latest version of SQL Server Express it says:

Database 'Name' connot be upgraded because its non-release version (587) is not supported by this version of SQL Server. You cannot open a database that is incompatible with this vertion of sqlservr.exe. You must re-create the database....

Any ideas how i can get the mdf/ldf files converted over? Or how I can attach the the ealier version of sql server express?? thanks.

Can anybody help?
I have a Windows XP and 2003 server; we have installed SQL 2005 Express on it but have an application that installs MSDE 2000 to connect to an application. After the MSDE 2000 is installed we can no longer see the instance across the network. If we uninstall the SQL 2005 express version we can see the Instance in MSDE 2000.
Is there any compatibility issue with install MSDE 2000 after SQL 2005 has been installed.

Moving Back To MSDE 2000 After Removing SQLServer 2005 Express

Sep 18, 2007

Apparently you cannot go backwards. Once 2005 Express is installed, even removing it does not allow you to setup MSDE 2000 again. So there is no "trying it out" option.

Unfortunately, our software does not use 2005 Express. I tried it out, and now have a useless testing workstation that can't have MSDE 2000 installed again.

Any ideas on how to break the chain here are welcome.

Performance Is Degraded Drastically After Migrating To SQL Express 2005 From MSDE 2000

Dec 29, 2006

Hi,

Recently we have migrated our application from MSDE 2000 to SQL Server Express 2005(SP 1). This has significantly reduced the performance of our Windows.NET application which is developed using C#.

For example : While logging in to the application two databases are being attached.

Time taken in MSDE: 16 secs

Time taken in SQL Server Express 2005 : 58 secs
Also note performance is degraded for normal screens where data is retrived from database using inline queries.

Questions:

1) Is there any special(optimum) configuration(installation parameters) while installing the SQL Server Express 2005 setup?



2) Is there any query optimization to be done w.r.t SQL Server Express 2005 ?



We highly appreciate any help towards resolving the above problem.

Sasi

Upgrading SQL Express: Is It Possible To Restrict To Which Version Upgrade Is Possible?

Aug 15, 2007



Greetings,

I am about to let users upgrade their SQL Express installations to Standard Edition. They will all run the upgrade program by a command line argument that I will supply along with a setup.ini that I will supply. Is it possible by simple means "hack" the setup.ini file in order to only allow upgrade to x86 Standard Edition? We have DVDs with all kinds of editions for both x86 and 64-bit and I would not want the users to accidentally upgrade to Enterprise Edition or a 64-bit Standard edition.

Is this possible to attain by simply means or do I have to upgrade all clients myself?

SQL Server SP2 Command Line Upgrade Switch And Express Version Detection

Mar 9, 2007

Our application installation setup needs to be able to detect:

Is SQL Server 2005 Express Installed?

If false, run the SP2 Installation
Is SQL Server 2005 Express or SQL Express SP1 Installed?

If false, run the SP2 Installation with Update Switch
Is SQL Server 2005 (not Express) Installed

If true, abort installation with a mesage.

Can you direct me to some documentation about testing for these environments or just if someone has some scripts that will run in InstallShield, that would be great.

ALSO, can you direct me to information about using the command line update switch for the Express SP2 Installer?

Thanks.

MSDE 2000A Upgrade To SQL Express SP1 With Merge Replication

Feb 8, 2007

Hello,

I have the following scenario. An application using SQL Server 2000 SP3 on the server side and clients using MSDE 2000A (SP3a) on the client machine. Since the client is offline quite often merge replication is used to keep the clients in sync.

Now we try to upgrade to SQL Server 2005 SP1. The publisher and distributor upgrade (on the same box) worked fine and all clients could still synchronize. Fine :-)

Now we try to upgrade the clients to SQL Express SP1. Now the problems start :-(

1) After the upgrade the entry within the Synchronization Manager is gone (we can overcome this by using sp_MSregistersubscription or by manually disable and enable Synchronization manager on the subscription properties)

2) Initial Synchronization (takes a long time but) works fine, if I apply changes to the subscriber or force a reinitialize all following synchronization will fail. With the following messages:

Error messages:
The merge process could not clean up the subscription to 'tstvmw23':'TestBase:'TestBase'. (Source: MSSQL_REPL, Error number: MSSQL_REPL-2147200965)
Get help: http://help/MSSQL_REPL-2147200965
New request is not allowed to start because it should come with valid transaction descriptor. (Source: MSSQLServer, Error number: 3989)

Remark the test system I use is a nearly empty db (only with full schema and a few lookup tables) with 15MB. The same error occures if I create a new database an subscribe to the same publication.

Please help otherwise I'm forced to step back to MSDE.

Thanks in advance,

Thomas Hotz
