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)
Tongue Tied

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 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 RS with SSL handled in firewall

Hi,

We are trying to install RS in an unusual environment. The Web server's SSL and public IP address are installed in the firewall. The communications between Web server and other servers such as database server are not encrypted; all the servers have no public IP addresses.

My question is if RS can be installed and if it will work properly. Any other advice?

Thanks

Yes - we call this SSL Offloading.

With SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services, things should just work with the exception of the following:

1) Report Builder - it requires a direct connection to the report server to download and to function.

2) Links in Emails - we use the URLRoot property in the rsreportserver.config file to form the URL for the link. You'll need to set the property to your external IP Address or the external hostname, and remember to use the https protocol designatiion.

3) Drill-through links in Exported reports (PDF, Excel, etc.) - again we use the URLRoot property in the rsreportserve.config file to form the URL for the link. See comment above.

4) SharePoint V2 web parts - need a direct connection to the report server to view reports.

With SQL Server 2000 Reporting Services, this is supported starting with SP2. The instructions for setting this up are in the SP2 readme file. One note I should add, is that it is required for the router to translate URLs.

Install RS on SQL2000

I have SQL2000 Developer installed my XP box. Look like I can't put any
except the trial version of RS. Does RS run on SQL Std and Ent only? I
want to play with RS but don't want to install the trial version. Is there
a workaround? Thanks.Hi,
I have SS2000 Developer SP3 AND RS2000 SP2 on my XP SP2 machine with no
problem.
You need to double-check what is the problem with your installation.

Install RS in one machine

I have installed Reporting Services in two systems, server-client, without any problem.

Then I tried to add in the client the server part just to be able to work as standalone system.

The client is one W2003 with IIS and SQLServer, similar to the server machine.

I can built and generate a report with VStudio, but when I tried to implement in localhost it gives me error: a trust conection with the "remote" server" is not possible.
I can see in the Reports page that the folder for the report is created, but it is empty.
If I try the implementation in the smae project just changing the TargetUrl to the real remote server, it is working.

I have compared nearly all the security conditions in the localhost an remote servres, mainly the ones related to security, without finding any difference.

Has anyone installed Reporting Services in one system?Hi Robert,

I am developing all on one system. You might check that your Shared Datasource is
using "Use a specific and password" for Credentials and not "Use Windows Authentication".

Best Regards, Jane

Install Reporting Services on another IIS website

I am using IIS6 and installed Reporting Services on http://myWebsite in IIS.
This works fine and I can access http://myWebsite/ReportServer and http://myWebsite/Reports

My problem is that I also need Reporting Services on another website in IIS6.
I have a website http://www.myothersite.com which I also need Reporting Services on. I created two virtual directories (Reports,ReportServer) that point to the same directories as which the original Reporting Services site does, but it doesn't work. I get "You are not authorized to view this page message in IE." when I view http://www.myothersite.com/ReportViewer in my browser

Any suggestions?i dont think you would need to report managers. you would only need one report manager and create your folders in it and use the appropriate paths in various websites on the server.

install reporting services 2005

Do you or do you not need (have to have) an instance of sql server 2005
installed somewhere (the same machine, on the network, anywhere) in order to
install reporting services 2005?Yes, you DO need to have a SQL Server database engine available
somewhere, however it does not need to be 2005 (although, MS does not
recommend using 2000 db w/ RS 2005, because of limiting new feature
set).
The ReportServer piece uses (2) SQL Server databases, named
ReportServerDB and ReportServerTempDB, to store catalog information
(e.g., folders, report RDL, security info, settings, etc.).
Reporting Services, itself, is composed of 3 pieces: a windows
service, a web service application and a asp.net web application. All
of those must connect to a database somewhere so it can get the reports
you have stored, etc.
If you choose to use a remote database engine, you will need 2 licenses
of SQL Server:
- one for where you install the ReportingServices instance, and
- one for where the database engine is installed
You can also scale-out the Report Server to a web farm, so you would
have n number of IIS Web servers, each running their own license of SQL
Server, with only the Reporting Services installed, and configured in a
scale-out (web farm/files only) setup. You would then need a DB server
running its own license of SQL Server with the database engine.
I hope that answers your question and clears up any doubts.
Regards,
Thiago Silva|||One clarification. There is absolutely NO problem using a 2000 DB as the
metadata/cache for RS 2005. All features are available. This is both
supported and expected configuration. I am running that way. This is
separate from licensing. If you have everything on one box and you leave the
DB as 2000 and install/upgrade to RS 2005 then you need a SQL Server 2005
license.

>|||Bruce is absolutely correct. I hope I didn't confuse you.
I am running, in production at a client, a scale out deployment of 2 RS
2005 servers, which uses a separate SQL 2000 db for storing the
catalog.
There are no known issues, and this is definetely supported. However,
what I meant is that you will find more MS documentation using all 2005
servers, because they would prefer you to license it that way, in order
to get the new features and benefits of the SQL 2005 database engine.

install reporting service 2005

Hi
I tried to install reporting service after i had installed sql server 2005, I find reporting service checkbox is disabled, so i can not install it.
Why it is disabled, and how i install reporting service.
thanks

Do you have IIS installed on the machine? If not installed, RS will not install either.

Also, because you have a SQL instance already installed, you have two options.

1. Install RS as another instance and you will get a full install and the check box should be enabled.

2. Install RS as a files only installation for the existing SQL Instance. Then use the configuration tool to configure RS to work with the current instance of SQL Server.

|||Hi Brad
That solved the problem. I installed IIS , and succeded in instaling RS within a named sqlsever 2005 service.
I tried to create a simple report using RS wizard in VS 2005 to test the reporting service , and when finishing the wizard the error message:
"Exception of type 'System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException' " was thrown , and i can not generate the report.
Pls, how can i resolve the problem.
Thanks.

|||I resolved the exception error thanks to the post: http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=573569&SiteID=1&mode=1

after reading the post , I downloaded the refactor software . I tried to install it

I traced the propblem until i found that DXCore (software provided by same

Install Report Designer on another workstation

I have installed RS on a Windows 2003 Server. However, we
prefer to use VB .NET on a Windows 2000 workstation as
Report Designer.
We would like to know what component of Reporting Services
has to be installed on that Windows 2000 workstation after
installing VB.NET ?
ThanksJust run the SQL-RS setup again on your workstation, and select from
reporting services only the client tools. Also run Sp1 or 2 on the client
computer. I got a similar setup as I dont prefer to devolop on the server.

Install regular SQL Server Management Studio over SQL Server Mangement Studio Express (SSMSE)

I installed SQL Server 2005 Express edition with the SQL Server Mangement Studio Express (SSMSE) on my work laptop. When I tried to manage the SQL Server 2005 instances on our servers, I couldn't expand/drill down on the DB Maintenance Plan. This prompted me to find out that this may be one of the features that are lacking in the "Express" version of the SSMS. Therefore I'm in the process of finding a way to 'upgrade' my SSMSE to regular SSMS.

I popped the installation disc of "SQL Server 2005 Standard Edition" and there are client tools/components that I can install which I believe SSMS (Management Studio) is part of it. However when I clicked through the wizard I was told that all the components are already installed and the wizard couldn't go any further.

Is there a way for me to install a regular version of SSMS over my existing SSMSE? Do I have to remove SSMSE first?

Please advise,

Thanks.

The easy thing to do is to remove SSMSE first -as you questioned. Then install SSMS.|||Tip: If you have installed SSMS and then no need to install SSMSE as you can manage Express edition with SSMS alone.|||

Maintenance plans require SQL Agent to be installed on the server machine. SQL Agent doesn't come with SQL Server Express so Management Studio doesn't show maintenance plans when connected to a SQL Server Express server. If you connect to Developer, Workgroup, Standard or Enterprise, you'll see the Maintenance plans folder for those server types in regular SSMS.

Hope this helps,
Steve

Install question

I installed SQL2005 (Standard Edition - 32 bit) for the 1st time and it
seemed to install fine. However, I wasn't prompted for licensing info (per
processor or per
seat) as SQL2000 does. Did I miss an option somewhere? The licensetype is
now disabled and numlicenses is now null.
Also unlike the SQL2000 install, I didn't see where you have the option to
put the database files (for master, msdb) should you not want them under
C:\program files.
Thanks for any help.

Sounds like you installed an MSDN version, in which case, licensing is
disabled. MSDN versions are for testing and development, and processor/CAL
licensing becomes irrelevant. You should not be running the MSDN version of
SQL Server on a machine where licensing is a concern.

I am not sure what you are using it for, if you require licensing, what your
compliance status is, whether it's personal or company, etc. If you are
using this for production then yes you should have official licenses I am
sure.

Install problems on one system

Hi;
I have VMWare on a test computer and installed the dev version of SqlServer
2005 fine on the frist VM partition.
However, on the second it won't let me check the reporting services and
requires a strong password. Why?

For further research, I would like to know:
1. Do your two VMWare partions have the same version of Windows OS?
2. What's the Windows OS edition?
3. What will happen if you specify a strong password for it?
4. Could you send me related system event logs to me
(changliw@.microsoft.com) ?

1. Yes - same everything.
2. Windows 2003 with all service packs.
3. I did not do that as I want the same p/w we use for everything on the

For question 4 all it has is:

Thanks for your response.
By default, strong password is a policy in Windows 2003. From your
description, I understand that your SQL Server 2005 ran with mixed
authentication mode and you log on the SQL 2005 with sa account.
I would like to know whether or not you can log on the SQL Server 2005 with
sa account which password is weak. Which place did this issue occurs?
To let me better understand this issue, I would like you could mail me
(changliw@.microsoft.com) a screenshot of your issue.
In SQL Server 2005, you can modify sa password and cancel the strong
password policy via:
Log on into Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio with sysadmin;
Expand the Security folder;
Expand the Logins folder;
Right click sa account and click Properties on the pop menu;
Cancel the selection of "Enforce password policy";
Modify the sa password if you want to.
Sincerely yours,
Charles Wang
Microsoft Online Community Support|||Hello;
Not exactly. I have not installed Sql Server 2005 yet because of these two
problems.
1) It has greyed out reporting services and I need to install that.
2) It wants a strong password during install. How can I set it to not
require that during install?
What is weird is this is a Windows 2003 test system and I have another
identical test system that did not have these problems. The only difference
is the other system has IIS installed.
So, how can I fix this?

IIS 6.0 first and then try again.
You can install the component via "Add/Remove Components" from control

That's due to your windows security policy on password.
You can try executing the statement ALTER LOGIN sa WITH CHECK_POLICY=OFF.
For more information on password policy, you can refer to:

Charles Wang
Microsoft Online Community Support|||Hi;
Let me ask the question a little differently:
1) Why does this copy of Windows 2003 have a strong password policy when
another test system that I installed the same does not?
2) The password it will not allow for Sql Server it did allow as the
administrator password for Windows itself. How is it there is a policy that
requires the strong password only from Sql Server?
3) How can I turn off this policy for all of Windows on this system? It's a
test system so we don't want strong passwords required.

Appreciate your response.
For your first question, Windows Server 2003 has strong password policy by
default, so if another test system doesn't have that policy, it may be
changed.
For your seconde question, SQL Server doesn't force a database to have
strong password even Windows 2003 has that policy. However this is decided
by authentication mode of SQL Server 2005. If you log on your SQL Server
2005 with Windows Authentication, your SQL Server password policy is based
on Windows policy and should be changed in Windows security policy;
otherwise, if you log on SQL Server 2005 with SQL Authentication, you can
modify the password policy in SQL Server 2005 Management Studio:
1. Expand the the Login of Security node;
2. Right click the login account and click Properties;
3. Cancel the selection of "Enforce password policy".
For your third question, if your computer is in domain, you need cancel the
policy in your domain contrller first. For local configuration, you can do
via "Start->Administrative Tools->Local Security Policy->Account
Policy->Password Policy". Please refer to the following articles to change
the policy:

Install problem

I am having a problem installing SQL express. I have 2.0 framework installed as well as the other express software. I also have Visual Studio 2003 installed. Do I need to uninstall other version of Visual Studio? Do I need to uninstall other versions of SQL. I get an error but it does not tell me what the problem is.

Thank you

Dee

Also can we somehow add the icons for the install to our desktop, if so how?

Install problem

Thanks!
MarkAccording to the log:
GetTempFileName failed 267
Error 267 is 'The directory name is invalid'. Before this call is a call to
GetTempPath. It would seem this function is returning something invalid.
According to the docs:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/fileio/base/gettemppath.asp
The GetTempPath function checks for the existence of environment variables
in the following order and uses the first path found:
1.. The path specified by the TMP environment variable.
2.. The path specified by the TEMP environment variable.
3.. The path specified by the USERPROFILE environment variable.
4.. The Windows directory.
Note that the function does not verify that the path exists.
Can you see if the function is returning something invalid? If so you will
need to fix this problem first.

I was able to get past that error earlier this morning. When I tried
installing it from the console of the web server instead of through
terminal services, it mentioned the temp directory not being correct.
I went to the temp environmental variables and it had F:\temp and
F:\tmp. Well F drive doesn't exist on that server. So I changed it
to C and it got past that error.
Appreciate you getting back.

install Performance Tools

Hi,
I have looked for some time now and I cannot see how to install the
Performance Tools in a pre installed SQL Server 20005. How do I go about this?
I am unaware of Microsoft Provided Performance tools. Are you by chance
talking about performance monitor? You can launch this via perfmon from the
command line. The DMV's also provide important performance counters.

No. SQL Server has these tool. I belive it is what edition I have. I need
the standard not the workgroup.
Thanks

Sorry I can't be specific, I don't know 2005, but at some point during the
install, you should be offered the opportunity to install missing compnents,
such as Performance Tools.

Standard Edition, Enterprise Edition, or Developer Edition). I believe
these performance tools are only included in Standard, Enterprise, and
Developer. They should be installed if you check the "Workstation
Components" in setup.

With a default installation of the workstation components, you can start
Profiler by running "Profiler90" from the run menu.
