On the page http://www.microsoft.com/sql/editions/compact/default.mspx it is recomended that you dont use SQL Server Compact Edition if "you want to run as a service" - is this refering to the host application or to the fact the SQL Server Compact Edition is an embedded database rather than the more traditional SQL Server client/server architecture?
If its the former is this likely to change at any point in the future? Also what sort of problems are likely to occur if we did run it from within a windows service?
Hello Reporting Services 2005 users or Reporting Services Team, I have done everything to get pass this error but no luck.

If you guys any solution for this please let me know. I was wondering could this be a scale-out deployment issue ?
I also get the error when setting up the DataBase Setup : Although saving the database connection info succeeded the The report server cannot access internal info about this deployment to determine whetherthe current con fig is valid for this editionThis could be a scale-out deployment and that the feature is not supported by this editionTo continue use a diff report server database or remove the encription keys

I have a test server running both 2000 and 2005 Reporting Services. Each day I have to restart the Report Server Windows service for the 2005 Report Server. This is the error I get when I try to access the Report Manager
The Report Server Windows service 'ReportServer$TSQL4' is not running. The service must be running to use Report Server. (rsReportServerServiceUnavailable) Get Online Help
After I start the Report Server Windows service using the Report Services Configuration tool I can access the 2005 Report Manager without errors. The windows service start up type is set to automatic.
I can not find why the 2005 version keeps going down.
I've got a report that shows the current status of sql activity on my servers for our ERP application. The one thing I've been wanting to do is to add the ability to check if a certain windows service on another server is running. Is this possible in Reporting Services 2005?
I want to know whether the MSDE is already installed or not on my system using a C# program. For this I have a method which will take the service name as argument and returns whether that servce is found or not. Now I want to know which windows service (service name) will be running on my machine if the MSDE is already installed. Please help me out.
I work with a Development board with an armv4 processor for a Windows CE 6.0 application and tried to install there an SQL Server Compact. But it doesn't work. My information from Google and other sites is that the Compact edition of SQL server does not work on a Win CE 6.0 platform.
Does someone can give me to this subject further information€™s? Is there an alternative?
I've been trying to create an installer for a little .NET CF 3.5 app I've written for Windows Mobile. It uses SQL Server Compact 3.5. I've got the .NET CF and my program to deploy on the device using ini files and ceappmgr.exe, but when I try to do the same for SQLCE 3.5, it doesn't work (more on this in a sec).
I need my installer to install across lots of different CPU architectures, so I created an ceappmgr INI file that includes all the different cabs for the different CPU architectures. I'm trying to test the installer by making it install on my smartphone (ARM CPU). The problem is, when I install it I get an error message on the device "The installation file is not intended for this device.". I reckon this means ceappmgr is picking the wrong cab file and trying to make my phone install it!
I did a bit of testing and found out if I remove all the cabs from my ceappmgr INI file EXCEPT for the one that is appropriate for my smartphone, then it works fine! But as soon as I include a cab file that is not appropriate for my device (eg a different cpu architecture, or the ARM PPC cab file), it stops working and I get that "not intended for this device" message.
My INI file looks like this:
[CEAppManager] Version = 1.0 Component = SQL Server Compact 3.5
[SQL Server Compact 3.5] Description = Microsoft SQL Server Compact 3.5 CabFiles = sqlce.phone.wce5.armv4i.CAB,sqlce.wce5.armv4i.CAB,sqlce.ppc.wce5.armv4i.CAB,sqlce.wce5.mipsii.CAB,sqlce.wce5.mipsii_fp.CAB,sqlce.wce5.mipsiv.CAB,sqlce.wce5.mipsiv_fp.CAB,sqlce.wce5.sh4.CAB,sqlce.wce5.x86.CAB
Any idea why ceappmgr would be (seemingly) picking the wrong cab file and trying to make my device install it? Btw, my smartphone uses the "sqlce.phone.wce5.armv4i.CAB" cab file.

I've been trying to run through the Microsoft example at http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb226707.aspx entitled "Configuring IIS for SQL Server 2005 CE Remote data access and Merge replication" but I'm having issues. The first time I ran through it I tried to use IIS on a server that was not the same as the SQL server and it didn't work at all. So I ran through it a second time and used the SQL servers IIS for testing and when I went to access the webpage I got a HTTP 500 Internal Error. After a while of playing I got a "Service Unavailable" message but still not the "Microsoft SQL Server CE server agent" screen I should have gotten. So my first question is how do I get this to work with a seperate IIS server? Which step do I change because I did put the right IIS and made a site there but it didn't work? I thought changing step 5 under the "To configure IIS for SQL Server CE Sync" to my IIs server would do it but it didn't. Maybe because in step 8 of the same section you have to use the share name and not a local directory even though its the same directory on the IIs server?
Also I just want to make sure I'm going down the right path with this. I have a VB.Net 05 application that connects to a database on a SQL 2005 server internally. I also have a seperate IIS server that is serving some web pages. Network is protected by both a hardware firewall then to a ISA box which I can control and allow http access to the internal IIS for whatever subdomain I end up choosing. I would like to create a mobile version of the application for some Mobile 6 devices we have and have them able to sync there data. In fact they don't even need to sync, just be able to download the server data once a week or on command. I've gotten the SDK for mobile devices, the "How to pull data using the RDA object", written the framework for the program, and now I need to figure out how to push the data out so it can be retrieved by my mobile devices over the internet. I've tried searching for answers, I thought this would be a popular thing to do, but I'm having trouble finding anything.
Hi, I can't seem to find which SQL Server Compact Edition version is pre-installed on the Windows Mobile 6 rom. I guess it is 3.0, but I'm not sure about it. Another question is, if I use SQL Server Compact Edition 3.5 by deploying the .dll files as part of my application's CAB installer, will this be a problem for Windows Mobile 5 or Windows Mobile 6? Thank you in advance,
Im trying to install the SQL Server Compact Tools in Windows Server 2008, but the installation program won´t let me continue since it says that I must install the IIS Backward Compatibility Tools. The problem is that I can´t find where I do that.
I know that Windows Server 2008 is not listed as a supported os for the server tools, but surely I must at least be able to install them?
I am attempting to write a Windows service that watches a database for uploaded files to import. When a new file is found, the corresponding SSIS package is run from the file system with variables passed through. I started development as a Windows app and copied the functionality to a service.
The app runs fine. The service does not. I get a "Failure" each time a package is executed. Everything is identical behind the scenes with the obvious exceptions that OnStart and OnStop handlers are buttons in the app. I added a script task at the beginning of one of the SSIS packages to notify me that it is even running at all. It doesn't even hit that initial task.
Again, the app will run all packages just fine. The data is imported and the results return as "Success."
The following is the code executing the package. Any help is appreciated. I've been banging my head on this one for a few days now. (Is there a tag to format a code sample?)
Dim pkgLocation As String Dim pkg As New Package Dim app As New Application Dim pkgResults As DTSExecResult
Ive read on some pages that it is in fact possible to install and run SQL Server 2000 on Vista. In my university, SQL Server 2000 is still used to teach us about databases and how to administrate them. The computers run Windows 2000 Professional. I need to be able to use 2000 so I can not only have compatibility but also know the steps and all possible conditions and solutions to problems. Would installing and running SQL Server 2000 on Vista be possible or am I better off using 2005? Is there much difference between these 2 versions?
Where can I further educate myself on this subject?
Right off from the start I would assume that installing SQL Server 2000 or 2005 on Windows Server 2003 that is set up as a web server hosting a website would be against "best practices." Is my assumption right?
Common sense tells me to not to host a website on a pc that is also hosting my database.
We are running SQL 7 on a Windows NT Server. If you copy a 25Mb filefrom this machine to a W2K server, the file copy takes over 5 minuteson a 100Mpbs switched network.Copying the same file to another NT server takes only seconds, andcopying the same file to the W2K server from the 2nd NT server, (whichis not running SQL) takes only seconds also.Has anyone any ideas as to why file copying between this machine and aW2K one will take so long. It is repliacted on 5 further w2K machines.

I'm getting Not associated with a trusted SQL Server connectionerrors on a .Net windows service I wrote, when it's running on myapplication server.It's not a problem with mixed mode security. I'm set for mixed mode andI've been running the service on the app server for over a month withno problem. My database is running on a second server and both areunder the same domain.The problem has occurred twice over the last two months.The windows service queries a table every 30 seconds, looking forrecords to process. It's using a connection string and the user id issetup and working in SQL. That when it's generating the error.I've changed the connection string user id to sa and I still get theproblem. (server=xxx;database=yyy;user=sa;pwd=xyz)The windows service is running under the domain/Administrator account.I can run the windows service from a workstation with no problem. Butwhen I start it up on the application server, I get the 'notassociated' error back from Sql Server.I'm trying to figure out where the problem is, and why it'sintermittent. Is it rights, policy, security? Why does it work for awhile then then error out?Any suggestions or help is appreciated.Thanks,Eric
Hi,I tried to Develop one Report in SQL Reporting Service. I haveinstalled SQL Reporting Serivice in Windows 2003 machine. SQL ServerDatabase is in another machine, running on Windows 2000.

Even then its not displaying theimage.Can any one help me out in solving the problem?Thanks in Advance.With RegdsKrish
This error is being displayed in the eventlog every minute. Any ideas on what it is referring too? I reviewed some posts but most point to specific problems of report server not running, or receiving this error during a run. We are receiving no errors at all. However this is jamming up the event viewer to make troubleshooting other issues very diffucult.

I am my department's Sys Admin and a relativelty Noobie when it comes to SQL server. So I recently Installed SQL Server 2005 on a Win2003 Server. During install I set my domain account as the service account login. After the DB and Web Application were setup and running good I realized that the SQL service accounts were logging in as my domain account. Not a good thing right? So in SQL Server Configuration Manager I changed the services from logging on as my domain account to the local system account instead.
Enter the problem: now I notice in application event viewer the Report Server Windows Service is erroring every minute. The error reads "Report server windows service cannot connect to the report server database." Im sure this was caused by me changing what account the report server service logs in as and local system account not having appropriate permissions. So what account should the report server windows service log in as? I see where to change the windows report service identity in Configure Report Server but I am not able to backup an encryption key? Thanks in advance!
I am looking at implementing some sort of throttling whereby "expensive" reports are setup as Subscriptions (and hence are run by the Windows Service), while all other requests go the Web Service.
My question is:
Do the two systems share any underlying systems? I understand (of course) that they use the same DB, etc. etc. However, I can't quite tell whether there is an underlying engine that is a common base or if they really just spin up different instances of the same objects and essentially each host the application separately?
Hello there,This is a bit of strange one.My local version of SQL Server fails to start when I boot yet if Istart Enterprise Manager its started and working fine. ISQL or QueryAnalyzer is also not working.If I try and register the server by another SQL Server is not there. Methinks that the named pipes might be a bit broken but would appreciateany advise from people.ThanksGinters

I have written a windows service using VB.NET that connects to a database and performs several tasks. The service is working correctly and has been fully tested against SQL Server 2000. I have recently moved to SQL Server 2005 and now, the service will not connect to the database.
I have setup and tried several different users, but none work, I get the following message:
Login failed for user 'OEESYSTEMS'
The server instance, username and password I specify are all correct.
The service is running on the same server as SQL Server. I can connect through a web application, and through ODBC. The server is set to use SQL server and windows authentication, and is setup and successfully allows remote connections.
It looks like SQL server sees that a windows service is trying to connect and does not allow it.
For the love of god, can anyone help with this issue.
I run SQL Server 2005 x64 Enterprise Edition SP2 on a Windows Server 2003 R2 Enterprise Edition SP1 server. This is our main database server and my question is, has anyone had any issues (database related or other) after installing Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 2?
I am running a C# Windows Service as ".Administrator" account. It cannot make connection to SQL Server 2005 and gives 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: Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 - Could not open a connection to SQL Server)
Like it couldn't find the SQL Server 2005 .(SQL Server is installed in Windows 2003 Server Enterprise ed.) However when I debug my service as Console application it connects successfully. I am still in trouble.. please help me out.
