Having Trouble Installing Reporting Services

i am having some trouble installing SQl server Reporting Services.
well, in order to install the reporting services i have to install
Service
Pack 3a.
so through my installation of package 3a i am encoutering some trouble.
i was able to comlete the first part of the installation i receive

this error message: Instance name specified is invalid

so, my question is: once you have SQL Server installed, where can you
go to find the name of the instance
and once i find it, can i rename it?
i originally installed SQL Server a while ago. during the setup, i do
not recall a particular name i might have given it.<ajackson@.icstars.org> wrote in message

See questions 12, 13 and 28. You can't rename an instance - you have to
install another one with the correct name, move your databases to it, and
then remove the original one.

Having trouble connecting to MSDE

I have a very basic workgroup at home. I have three
computers, two of them on XP Pro (the ones I'm using MSDE
with). I was able to install MSDE and I see the icon on
my system tray. Now, I was reading how to upsize an
Access database from this page
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?
url=/library/en-us/dnmsde/html/msdeforvs.asp
I choose to create a new database after starting the
Upsize wizard. Then I choose the server, which shows up
in the drop down box. Then it asks me for a username and
password that has "CREATE DATABASE" privileges on the
server. So I put my administrator user name and password
in, then choose the name of my new MSDE database, but it
won't connect. I then tried using no username or
password and I get another error message. What's going
on?
This is a link to my errors.

the reported errors indicate :
a) you instance is set to only allow Windows NT (trusted) connection, which
is the default when installing MSDE on Windows NT platform... in order to
allow SQL Server authenticated connection, please have a look at
http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;285097 for further
info in order to change this behaviour both at install time and later...
b)you windows account you are using to connect to that MSDE instance is not
granted login provileges...
you have to login with a sysadmin login, usually part of
builtin\administrators of SQL Server, and grant that windows account login
privileges using sp_grantlogin system stored procedure
(http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...-us/tsqlref/ts
_sp_ga-gz_8dri.asp) and then grant database access to that login for all
desired databases using sp_grantdbaccess system stored procedure
(http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...-us/tsqlref/ts
_sp_ga-gz_290z.asp)
for your convenience, you can have a look at a free prj of mine at the link
following my sign., which provides a user interface similar to Enterprise
Manager, which provides these functionnalities too in a viusal way..

Having SQL Profiler while SQL Express Installed

Dear All,
Is it possible for me to have a SQL profiler install in my local while i hav
e running SQL Express in my machine?
Please advise, thank you.If you have a copy of sql server and want to install the management tools yo
u can install them on a machine regardless of the edition of sql server actu
ally running on the machine. However, I haven't tried running Profiler again
st SQL Express, but I don't see why you can't. But you'll have to actually t
ry that yourself.

have you ever installed MSSQL on a server with Oracle already running ?

am i going to cause problems if i install MSSQL2005 on a server with Oracle already installed and running ?
thank youOracle and MSSQL on the same machine is possible without problems ?
have you experience about this ?

thank you
Dario|||I have them both on my dev box at home, but it's difficult to run them both simultaneously. They both grab a lot of memory, but especially oracle.

I only run the services simultaneously when absolutely necessary.

I would never run them on the same box in a production environment.|||I have an Oracle server and a SQL Server running on the same box in a production environment, but there's a couple of BIG catches:

1. The Oracle server (9iR2) is only being used for Oracle Enterprise Management services and as an RMAN catalog/repository. Nothing else. It's certainly NOT an OLTP machine;

2. The SQL Server is SQL 2005 Standard Edition and is the back end for SQL Reporting Services and WSUS (Windows Update Services). The Reporting Services install is used only for management reports (nothing goes to the outside world).

So, yes they can be installed on the same machine together. I wouldn't recommend it for anything that was mission critical (I can lose OEM, WSUS and Reporting Services and not impact production applications).

Regards,

hmscott|||THat server has 2Gbyte ram
Right now oracle.exe is using 430MB memory and java.exe 100MB of memory

I would install Sql Server 2005 Express edition (will not be used heavly)
do you think i should find another machine for this task ?|||it's not just the memory that's the issue. both will be competing for other resources such as disk and cpu.

my instinct is to put express on a separate server.

there's nothing to prevent you from trying it on the same server and reporting back here with your experience howerver ;)|||Well. It's quite possible to run both SQL Server and Oracle on the same computer, without any problems. However, as mentioned, they will compete for CPU, Memory, I/O and other resources, so the performance may drop quite a bit when both are executing queries at the same time. In a testing-environment this should really not be a too big issue. What I've done is going a bit further, installing SQL Server and Oracle in their own Virtual PCs. They still compete for resources, but it's easy for me to transfer one of the Virtual PCs to a different physical computer if I should need to do so.

If you end having Oracle and SQL Server on the same computer, please ensure that you configure both Oracle and SQL Server, so that they both get enough memory.

have WMSDE, need MSDE

Hi.
I'm about to install an MSI-packaging software, which needs either MS SQL
(we don't have it) or MSDE. I already have WSUS running and it uses WMSDE.
Can I install install MSDE (distributed with the software) without screwing
up WSUS/WMSDE?

yes you can... just intall a separate named instance of MSDE... up to 16
instance of SQL Server 2000 and MSDE can be installed on the same machine..
each instance will have it's own binaries, memory space, registry entries
and the like..
they will only share the shared components at the highes service pack level,
like SQL-DMO... you can find shared components in \Program Files\80 filder
and subfolders..

Have to install to c:\ ?

I'm having a hard time with installation of SQL 2005 on Windows Server 2000. I'm trying to put everything on d:\ but I think it is failing as a result. Is there anything I should know about this?

Thanks in advance. -GregAs a follow up on this, as soon as I installed everything to C:\ everything worked stellarly. In listening to the traffic here, it appears 98% of SSRS users are using a non-distributed configuration. While the product supports installing its components on different machines (ie, Database on one box, IIS on anohter box, SQL Srvr on partition A, SSRS Web bits on partition B etc), I am guessing this process will not be well-documented and supported until a subsequent release.

We are about to acquire a software package which specs
out that the server must have dual processors in the box
and rather large amount of RAM. Additionally it requires
that we install WIN2K Server and MS-SQL. We will have
about 75 users running this DB application therefore I
think that a processor license would be appropiate (cost
wise at discount house) over a CAL. Original question...
Do I need two copies for on machine utilizing two
processors? or Is there another avenue to take here?
Thanks
PS - I looked at the How to Buy and it didn't answer my
question. I

have a win 2003 server,sql server 2000 8.00.194

I wanted to install SQL Server 2000 Reporting Services. For this i need to
install service pack 3a for sql server 2000. When I try to install sql
server 2000 sp3a I get the following error:
Setup was unable to validate the logged on user. Press Retry to enter
another option, or Cancel to exit setup.
what is the problem here and whats the solution?
i got a few pointers from http://www.aspfaq.com/show.asp?id=2440. i tried
all but the problem still exists
This problem occurs when an open local shared memory connection is pending
when the Setup program starts. When you install SQL Server 2000 SP4, the
Setup program stops the SQL Server 2000 services. If a local shared memory
connection is pending, the local shared memory listener does not successfully
start after the SQL Server 2000 services are restarted.
When the application or service that has the local shared memory connection
is on the same computer as an instance of SQL Server, Microsoft Windows
interprocess communication (IPC) components are used for the connection.
Local named pipes and local shared memory are examples of Windows IPC
components. For example, you may experience this problem if you installed
Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Reporting Services on the same computer that is
running SQL Server.
for Solution see below...

I wanted to install SQL Server 2000 Reporting Services. For this i need to
install service pack 3a for sql server 2000. When I try to install sql
server 2000 sp3a I get the following error:
Setup was unable to validate the logged on user. Press Retry to enter
another option, or Cancel to exit setup.
what is the problem here and whats the solution?
i got a few pointers from http://www.aspfaq.com/show.asp?id=2440. i tried
all but the problem still existsThis problem occurs when an open local shared memory connection is pending
when the Setup program starts. When you install SQL Server 2000 SP4, the
Setup program stops the SQL Server 2000 services. If a local shared memory
connection is pending, the local shared memory listener does not successfull
y
start after the SQL Server 2000 services are restarted.
When the application or service that has the local shared memory connection
is on the same computer as an instance of SQL Server, Microsoft Windows
interprocess communication (IPC) components are used for the connection.
Local named pipes and local shared memory are examples of Windows IPC
components. For example, you may experience this problem if you installed
Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Reporting Services on the same computer that is
running SQL Server.

Has anyone seen a Licensing screen during the install process?

Hi again.

I have been deploying the first few test SQL 2005 machines recently, from what I was told is the full-feature edition DVD received from the https://licensing.microsoft.com website.

We have purchased a mixture of per-processor and per-user licenses to use for this software. However, I am never asked what licensing mode to use during the install.

Can anyone confirm or deny that a setup screen appears asking what licensing version you want to use (per-user or per-processor)?

I cannot confirm what was downloaded from the licensing-website because I don't have access through the company.

I have the same symptoms as seen on this postings:

http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=360181&SiteID=1

http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=510279&SiteID=1

However, I don't see such a Control Panel utility to change the licensing type.

Thanks to anyone who can assist.

The Licensing is not controlled through installation or configuration in SQL Server 2005. It is simply a mater of ensuring that you purchase the correct license for the configuration that you are running.

Thanks

Just to make sure I understand this: in our case, we've purchased a SQL Server 2005 license from an OEM. We've installed the Enterprise Eval version of SQL Server 2005, supposedly good for 180 days. How does it go from an Eval version to a "purchased" version?

It won't. Although Michelle is saying above the licensing is based on the honor system, most evaluation editions cut-out after the designated number of days.

You will need to get your hands on an over-the-counter version of the software.

I'm surprised you were able to purchase a license without receiving the original software. You may want to call the OEM or Microsoft.

I'm not sure if you can "upgrade" an evaluation edition to an over-the-counter version... you may want to investigate.

Good luck.

Hardware Question

This is a business rather than a technical question.
We have a legacy application that uses a jBase database (www.jbase.com) and
now want to install a SQL Server application on the same hardware. Both
applications need to serve web pages. The box is a dual pentium with 2GB of
memory.
Is that full of risk or are we most likely to be OK. Money is tight and
getting a new server won't be easy, but of course we don't want the whole
thing to crash either.
Many thanksHi Kim
Without knowing more about your system it is hard to answer. Using your
database server for anything other than SQL Server will be a compromise. The
level of compromise will be dependent on the current load and resources on
the server and on the network.
http://www.sql-server-performance.c...re_planning.asp gives some
information on what you should be aiming for.
Before installing SQL Server check out the current performance of the
server, see if there is more than sufficient memory, as SQL Server will grab
as much as it can! Setting the maximum memory for SQL Server will probably b
e
required (which may require purhasing more). Check disc activity, if you can
put the SQL Server log and datafiles on their own spindles then that will be
better, but if all your discs are currently being heavily used then it may b
e
worth seeking an alternative.
If you do install SQL Server, re-benchmark to see if there has been a
significant drop in performance and if that drop is acceptable.
Ideally you would try this on a similar server and not on a production
environment first.
