Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Desktop Engine (MSDE 2000) Release A

My objective is to use Enterprise Manager to move (copy) my SQL db from the server to my windows desktop computer.

I downloaded MSDE and am having trouble installing it, no doubt because I do not understand the documentaion (ReadMeMSDE2000A.htm).

When I try to run setup, I get that message that says:

"A strong SA password is required for security reasons. Please use SAPWD switch to supply the same."

Considering my purpose, do I need a "strong" SA password? If not, how do I get around it? If yes, how do I set it up?

I am a Mac user so I have poor windows skills, please make it as painless as possible for me, thanks!

RonCreate 2 file in the same director with setup.exe

1. Setup.bat
setup.exe /settings Settings.ini /L*v C:/MSDELog.log

2. Settings.ini
[Options]
SAPWD=YourPassword
DISABLENETWORKPROTOCOLS=0
SECURITYMODE=SQL
DATADIR="C:\MSDE"
TARGETDIR="C:\MSDE"

Run the setup.bat|||I have tried your code and other code like that and in each case it fails. I keep getting this error message that says:

"The instance name specified is not valid."

Note that your code didn't even use the instance name.

In your code you use:

DATADIR="C:\MSDE"
TARGETDIR="C:\MSDE"

Actually on my C drive the folder is called MSDERela. I tried changing your code to indicate that and it still doesn't work. Same error message.

Any other suggestions? Thanks!|||I added the INSTANCENAME and added quote marks to some of the code and it seems to have worked. It produced a folder on my C drive wtih a number of files in it.

Now can someone tell me how to launch MSDE?

Now you know why I call myself SQL_Dummy!sql

Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Desktop Engine

I have recently installed Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Desktop Engine on a
computer. How do i create tables and stuff like I do in the standard version
of SQL server? I tried connecting to it with enterprise manager but this
fails. Are you allowed to use enterprise manager with this product?
I created a dts package that deletes several database tables and reimports
the tables once a day. Ultimately I would like to run this package on this
new install of SQL desktop engine. Im not sure how to do this w/o enterprise
manager?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!-- Are you allowed to use enterprise manager with this product?
Yes the only limitation is that it is not shipped with MSDE, but it can be
used if you gotta licence from SQL Server.
Another program could be QALITE which can be downloaded for free.

This should work, what kind of error are you getting ?

You can use dtsrun.exe from the commandline to run the package if you
stored it properly(for example in a structured storage file)

interesting - i have never heard of it before.
When I try to use enterprise manager. I am running it from my workstation
and am trying to register the machine that is using the desktop Engine - When
i try to do the registration it says the server either doesnt exist or i do
not have the right credentials. I am using the sa user name and the password
I gave it when i installed the desktop engine. Does enterprise manage have
to be run on the mackine that is using the desktop engine or is it the same
as a standard version of SQL server where u can manage it on a remote
workstation?
Is there anyway I can schedule my saved DTS package to run on the Desktop
Engine? I would like it to run every morning at 3AM?

Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server"

I receive a "Cannot generate SSPI context" error message when you try to
connect to a SQL Server 2000 SP3 server computer.
According microsoft's article ID 843248 there is a hot fix. I do not want to
install SP2 just the hot fix.
Does anybody know the actual ID name of the hotfix. I am trying to connect
from XP SP1 Thank you
According to the article you referenced you could either download XP SP2 or
contact Product Support to get the fix.
In that article you can also find a workaround if you can not install either
SP2 or the fix.
I would recommend that you consider to install XP SP2 since it contains a
lot of security enhancements.

Microsoft Data Link Error

Dear All!

I use a Microsoft SQL server 2005 under windows 2000, and I would like to connect to this server from an another windows 2000 computer under Access 2003.

When I click to test connection buttom, I get an error mesige: "Test connection failed because of an error in initializing provider. Login faild user 'raktaros'. The user is not associated wth a trusted SQL server connection."

The 'raktaros' is a user on the server computer.

Please help me, what is the problem.

Best regards,

Labi

Is he a SQL Server user or just a windows local user on the server.

The latter won't work, the former will if the security mode of the SQL Server is set to SQL Server and Windows using the Properties of the Server in Object Explorer on the security section

|||Your SQL Server is setup for WIndows Authentication. If you use this you are not able to use SQL Server Authentication anymore, nor passing the user parameter within the connection process.

message that the tables are read-only

I have an Access 2000 ADP application and MS SQL 7 and when the user opens it on a second computer (and a seperate application) they get the message that the tables are read-only.

When I try it in my office on 2 computers I don't get it.

What should I be looking for?

Michaelthat essentially says that you open the file in exclusive mode. If you have this setting (its the default I believe) then if you can't get it in exclusive mode, it becomes read only.

I might have this wrong in that if a machine grabs the file in exclusive mode it might be locking out the others.

Check the settings on your machine(s), I believe its under Tools-Options-Advanced.

HTH|||I did not think you could open the tables in an MS SQL 7 database exclusively. I know you can when using an .MDB back end.

Are you sure this is the case? I will look at it on my server side.

message in sql server error log

What can cause the message "Login failed for user 'DOMAIN\COMPUTER$' " every
20 sec? the instance is Standard SQL server 2000 with mixed security mode
and sql server service accout is domain admin member. The application that

Just a guess here, but that domain account will need to have local admin
permissions on your SQL Server.
In addition, you may need to set the Run As a Service permission, or Log On
as a Service.. Something like that. <shrug>
I'm sure others can expand on this.

Don't they need local admin rights? It's been a while since I've had to do
a setup like that.

message in sql server error log

What can cause the message "Login failed for user 'DOMAIN\COMPUTER$' " every
20 sec? the instance is Standard SQL server 2000 with mixed security mode
and sql server service accout is domain admin member. The application that
use database is working fine but out error log fills up very fast. I will
appreciate any advise."Eli Milkova" <EliMilkova@.discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message

Just a guess here, but that domain account will need to have local admin
permissions on your SQL Server.
In addition, you may need to set the Run As a Service permission, or Log On
as a Service.. Something like that. <shrug>
I'm sure others can expand on this.

Don't they need local admin rights? It's been a while since I've had to do
a setup like that.

The only other time i have seen DOMAIN\COMPUTER$ (With the $ sign) is when
the computer domain account has gotten out of sync. But i dont know why this
would show up in the sql log...if this is the computer that the appaccount
acount is loging in from and they happen at same time...i would check make
sure that the computers account is in synce...ie thats its p/w has been
set/reset with the domain
did you mean server is a 'member' server or is it realy a 'standolone'
