MS SQL Server :: Installing SQL Server 2005 Management Tools

Installing SQL Server Management Tools
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?

Why Are Tools Not Available After Setup Ie. Management Studio
This is not the first install for me but i've noticed that after installing sql server standard 2005 and then i put on sp2 i cannot find my management studio. i don't think that is was ever installed although i did choose to install it. now when i try to install the tools i'm getting the error that they already exist. arghhhh... ? I've looke to uninstall them through the "add or remove programs" but thats a no-go. Any help would be appreciated.

thanks.

(just to add to this my sql database resides on another server so I copied the contents of the dvd over to the server)

&&"The Feature(s) Specified Are Not Valid For This Edition Of SQL Server&&" Error When Installing Management Tools On Win 2003 X64
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.

SQL Server 8 And SQL Server 2005 Management Tools In Consistencies
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!

Guide To Installing SQL Server 2005 Express And Setup For IIS
It seems that a lot of people have had problems and issues with getting SQL Server 2005 (various editions) working with their ASP.NET applications. I am going to be starting on a guide of some sorts this weekend as how to do this. I believe that most of the problems are due to the fact that most are using SQL Server for the first time and while earlier versions have been some what easier to deal with SQL Server 2005 has a proactive approach to security. I hope to make the guide easy and explain (not in to much detail) how configuring it for different situations.

Unfortunately time is something that I tend not to have a lot of so if this guide seems to be going no where itâ€™s because I am to busy to work on it.

I will be posting the guide here and on my website when I feel it has enough content to be helpful.

Management Studio Missing After Installing SQL Server 2005 Dev
I've just installed SQL Server 2005 Development Edition x64 on Windows XP x64bit. The actual server (as well as Integration, Reporting Services etc) installs fine, I can connect to it via Visual Studio 2005 fine. However, all of the software tools are missing including Management Studio, Business Intelligence Studio etc. They don't show up in the start menu at all and I can't find them in the Program Files directory.

Anyone know how I can get them back? I've tried reinstalling SQL Server 2005, reformatting Windows XP x64, I'm at my wits end!! Many thanks!

SQL Server Management Express Studio Management Tools

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.

SQL 2005 Management Tools
Hi, I installed sql 2005 dev for testing sharepoint, and the management studio was not installed. Now, i am afraid to try to install it because i am thinking it may uninstall or re-install all sql components (and probably erase existing instances and sharepoint data may be lost. I have installed on an other pc the client tools, but i cannot connect to that instance, and i cannot attach the user databases (i get the 5123 error)

Can anyone help me how i can install management services without messing up the sharepoint instance?

Install Of 2005 Management Tools Fails

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?

SQL Server Management Tools Not Installed
>> 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.

SQL Service Management Studio Express (x64) Crashing On Startup
hopefully, the subject addresses my problem. the server is running like a charm.

Service pack 2 has been installed. The only connection I remember creating after the initial installation is a remote connection.

I've checked to make sure I am allowing multiple protocols.

I am not able to get a response from the following:

C:Usersamfrizzell>SQLCmd -S .aaron-toshiba -E -Q "SELECT @@Version"
HResult 0xFFFFFFFF, Level 16, State 1
SQL Network Interfaces: Error Locating Server/Instance Specified [xFFFFFFFF].
Sqlcmd: Error: Microsoft SQL Native Client : An error has occurred while establi

re may be caused by the fact that under the default settings SQL Server does not
allow remote connections..
Sqlcmd: Error: Microsoft SQL Native Client : Login timeout expired.

The instance is running as I can connect to it through Visual Studio 2005.

What did I do wrong? I could really use this application in order for me to develop websites. It's sort of a pain to go to another computer to use the more powerful features of SQL Server 2005 Server management Studio (standard edition).

Help me... somebody please help me.

The event logs are set to be overwritten automatically when they reach 16Mb but it's not working correctly, they r not overwriting their content.

in SQL 2005 ERRORLOG file i see:

2007-05-14 01:57:11.57 spid80 Error: 17054, Severity: 16, State: 1.

2007-05-14 01:57:11.57 spid80 The current event was not reported to the Windows Events log. Operating system error = 1502(The event log file is full.). You may need to clear the Windows Events log if it is full.

SQL Agent cannot starts because it's not able to write in the event log that it's starting and when it cannot write in event log, it does not start and my sql server crashed

My Question is simply how to fix this issue once for all

Problem Installing SSQL Server 2000 Client Tools
Hi,

I'm trying to re-install SQL Server 2000 Desktop Engine andSQL Server client tools. I have succesfully re-installed the desktop engine,but I am getting the following error message when attempting to re-install theclient tools.

"Setup has detected an existing client tools only installation.
Please use the maintenance mode to add client components"

Unfortunately the Upgrade/Add/Remove option is greyed out as
an install option.

I attempted the registry hive rebuild option and the install appeared
to succeed. However, I cannot access any tools (Enterprise Manager
comes up with the message "The selected file cannot be found").

At this point, the desktop engine appears in Add/Remove programs
Window, but no other SQL Server components.

Any help very much appreciated!

Using SQL Server Management Studio Tools To Manage Dbs On SQL Server Express Edition
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.

Installing Sql 2005 Management Studio Express On 2nd Hard Drive
Hi,

I've downloaded the sql server 2005 management studio express executable to my second hard drive, as there is no room on my main drive

However, when I try to install, the program shows me both drives, and shows that there is not enough room on my main drive, but it does not allow me to change the installation to my second drive.

I have previously installed the main sql express product to my second drive with visual studio. There's loads of room.

Can anyone give me a clue as to why this might be happening.

Thanks

SQL Server 2005 Studio Crashing Laptop (BSD)
I just recently replaced my old HP laptop with a Sony VAIO. I installed all of my development software on it, including SQL Server 2005 and the studio. At some point when I am using the studio on this new laptop, if I try to resize any of the columns to better fit the data, it crashes my laptop. I get the infamous Blue Screen of Death.

The laptop is a Sony Vaio BX670P and it has Win XP SP2 with all of the latest and greatest updates loaded on it.

The BSD blames a driver for causing the crash and points out "win32k.exe" specifically. This has never happened to me before.

Does anyone know why this might be happening?

MDAC 2.8 Fatal Setup Error. This Setup Does Not Support Installing On This Operating System
I have XP Pro SP2 with MDAC 2.8.1022. It had a problem so I tried to reinstall MDAC and got a Fatal Setup Error. This setup does not support installing on this operating system. I downloaded MDAC 2.8 1177 and get the same error.

I thought of uninstalling/reinstalling SP2, but this is a 2 month old Dell Latitude 610 with factory installed XP. There is no Windows Service Pack 2 option listed in the Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs.

There's some other strange things, so I wonder if they are related.

1) I have Paul set up as an administrator account. Some folders like MSSQL show that account with no permissions. I grant all the permissions to Paul for that folder. I come back later and the permissions are gone.

2) I deleted 20 files in Explorer, but 7 of them did not go away. I deleted those 7 again and they instatnly reappeared. I deleted those 7 again and then they finally went away.

3) I get a slow reaction time for things like Windows Explorer and opening and closing programs. This is suprising since it has 2 gig of RAM and 2.3 Gig processor. Could it be a memory handling problem that's causing OS problems. Probably, the memory didn't handle the OS installation well and the whole system is compromised now.

SQL Server 2005 Crashing On Write Access - ARGH!
Hi,I'm accessing a pair of databases with ASP/ADO,and using stored procedures on the first access.The first access works OK - everything gets writtento where it's supposed to be.On attempting to write to a pair of database tablesin the second database (second access attempt),the server crashes, as does the app, and I get the following error:--------------------------------------------------------------------Server Error in '/Webfolder01' Application.Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code.Exception Details: System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: A transport-level error has occurred when receiving results from the server.

SQL Server Express 2008 - Missing Client Tools / Management Studio / Profiler

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.

If I check my Start Menu, the only 2008 items that exist are

SQL 2005 SP2 Failes Repeatedly - SQLServer2005SP2-KB921896-x86-ENU
SQL 2005 SP2 Failes repeatedly - SQLServer2005SP2-KB921896-x86-ENU

Failed install on several Win 2003 Ent Ed., 32bit servers both named and default instances, both upgrades and direct installed versions. Why would MS put out such a riddle?

Error Message is " A recently applied update, KB921892, failed to install.

Also, confoundingly, the error log for the hotfix indicates
""9.00.3042.00 while the update version is: 9.00.2047.00."

But the version display on the properties of one of the servers 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 2) "

Any help or comments are deeply appreciated, as the seems to be impacting DB Maintenance Plans, etc...

Setup Init Error When Installing SQL Server 2k Enterprise, Plz Help
hi,

i'm running win2k sp4 on a 2.4Ghz P4 with 512M ram and 1.5 gigs freespace on my harddrive (more than enough for the sql server client).

i insert the cd and start up the installer. i then get the splash screen, click on "SQL Server 2000 Components", then on "Install Database Server". Then the splash screen disappears and nothing happens for a while (sometimes a really long while). Then an error message pops up saying:

Setup initialization error.
<some message>

Source: 'E:<some source>'
Target: 'C:WINNTTEMPSqlSetup<some target>'

where <some message> is a differing message. sometimes it's "The data is invalid", sometimes a cycle redundancy check error, sometimes a inpage error...

<some source> is one of the files on the sql server cd, and this also differs most of the time.
<some target> is the corresponding <some source> in the sql server setup's temp dir.

as well, if i restart my computer and try starting the installer after windows has started up (well, at least all of the sys tray icons have loaded) i usually get an error message saying something about "msetup" having an error and being shut down. it also mentions that there is some log file which is created, but i'm not sure where it's located or what it's called.

i have also noticed that some process called " wowexec.exe" is starts up when the installer does, and keeps running after the installer (setupsql.exe) crashes. i am also unable to end the " wowexec.exe" process and process tree.

i don't think there's anything wrong with the cd, since it looks like it works file on other pc's. any idea what may be wrong?

i would really appreciate any help in fixing this. i really need to get the sql server 2k client installed (particularly the enterprise manager).

My boss gave me a server with server 2003 standard and Sql server 2005 and visual studio 2005 installed already, he asked me if i could figure out how the 'new' reporting services work, Im pretty new to SQL and the reporting service but i figured out i had to install asp.net / frameworks and IIS.

So right now i wanna start the Reporting Services Configuration Manager and i get an error that says 'Invalid namespace' and when im trying to approach by using my browser i get 'page not found' so obviously their is Alot wrong. I asked my boss if i could not reinstall everything and do it in the correct order (IIS / ASP.net / Frameworks before installing SQL server 2k5 but that was not an option because we dont seem to have the cd's anymore.

The server is not connected to any network or the internet.

My Question:

Is their any way to fix this? and if yes could anyone tell me where to start

Thanks in Advance!
