Install server2005 in LDAP machine problem: Found the problem and the solution

Hi all,

I installed June CTP on server with (already) SQL 2000 and LDAP (the idea is to check if 2005 and 2000 are good friends).
after installation I start to retrieve Errors from the LDAP: "Automation error The authentication mechanism is unknown." (error 2147016662)

more info about the proccess that failed:
ASP file (IIS5) create object (mine dll).
mine dll try to connect LDAP and retrieve data from user.

The proccess fail when it try to connect the LDAP (I debug it).

more then it: when I create the dll from VB6, every thing gone great.

Any Idea?Just to let you know:

The problem was COM+ issue.
Some how the installation couse my COM+ application to stop working (or work with limited security owner).

I build new COM+ Application, moved all my dlls to the new one, and it work.

Install security patch ms03-031 on sql2k sp3 server

Tried to install security patch ms03-031 on sql2k sp3
server, but got message said that there is no valid
instance for the patch. Anyone else had this problem?I would first run Select @.@.version from Query Analyzer to verify that the
version is 2000.8.00.760 (SP3)

Yes, I did that and even tried to reapply sp3 but still
can't install that patch with same message. Any other
reasons?

Install Security

Reguarding best practices: when I am installing s SQL
Server Database, best practice would say that I do not use
the Domain Admin or the BUILTIN Admin account to run the
database under. If I cannot use these accounts, what do I
use? My network has Active Directory installed and we are
running on Win2000 servers."Rich" <anonymous@.discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message

For fairly high level of security you can use a domain account with user
level domain permissions, on the server grant the permissions (user rights,
registry & NTFS permissions) found in this document:

Install Second Instance Of SQL Server 2005

I'm trying to install a second instance of SQL Server 2005 to an existing
server where Service Pack 2 is installed. Nothing special - no clustering, I
just want an additional instance for QA purposes.
The problem that I'm experiencing is that I receive an error message during
the installation:
Error 1603 installing Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Setup Support Files
The log file doesn't provide any description of an error. My only guess at
this point is that my current instance has higher versions of files than the
ones on the original install disk.
Any suggestions on how to proceed? Should I wipe-out the server and start
over?
I would appreciate any assistance. THANKS!!!
Regards,
RayHi Ray,
You could try running sqlrun.msi (in the setup directory) directly,
instead of the setup.exe. That would forego the installation of the
Setup Support Files. Not sure if that works, though.

Install RSClientPrint

I am unable install ActiveX plug-in (RSClientPrint) for RS Printing in my
client's machine who do have the administrative rights to download plug-in
from the browser. Can anyone suggest me how can do this?Check the user's Security settings in Internet Explorer. Depending on
how it is setup, the browser may have disabled the ability to install
ActiveX controls.
Typically, you can work around this by adding the URL of your Report
website to the "Trusted Sites" zone. To do this, go to Internet
Explorer settings (Tools -> Internet Options), select the "Security"
tab, click on the "Trusted Sites" icon, then click the "Sites" button
to add your URL to this zone. Once this is done, click okay to close
the settings and try again. You should see the small "Trusted" icon in
the status-bar of your browser the next time you visit the Report
website, and it should allow installing the ActiveX control.
If its still not working, you may have to adjust the security settings
manually within Internet Explorer for this zone by clicking on the
"Custom Level" button on that same Security tab. There you can enable
the "Download signed ActiveX controls", and "Run ActiveX controls and
plugins" options.
I hope this helps.
