MSDE Toolkit issue with windows 98

Hello,
My 1st attempt to install .Net framework, MSDE, my application and the databases during setup (using the MSDE deployment toolkit RC) works fine on windows xp. Now when I try to do the same for windows 98 SE machine, I am able to install .Net framweork an
d MSDE, but after that during the installation I get the following error message:
"An exception occured in the OnAfterInstall event handler of DBInstaller.CustomInstaller --> Unable to access service: Operating system does not support controlling a Windows service. A service can only be controlled on Windows NT, Windows 2000, or lat
er."
It's clear that when the setup tries to start the service to create the database etc it fails. Is this a known issue. I researched on web but couldn't find anything. Any ideas.
Thanks

MSDE to SQL Server 2000 connection drops on XP Pro

Using MSDE 2000 SP3
Sql Server 2000 SP3
Win XP Pro SP1
Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0
We have recently upgraded field laptops from Windows 2000 to XP Pro. One of our applications which was developed with Visual C++ 6.0 and using MSDE will just drop it's connection to our consolidated Sql Server 2000. This works on Windows 2000 machines.
I have ran the profiler, monitored Sql Processes for locks, checked Event logs and I am unable to find any type of error. Our sync process just drops off. I am uncertain if it is MSDE, Sql Server or XP.
I even set the application's compatiability settings to Windows 2000 but still same result. I am uncertain as to how to do anymore troubleshooting.
Any ideas would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Vannie Keever
SQL Server (including the MSDE edition) cannot close a connection by itself
except when shutting down. The client, the OS, or the network has to tell
SQL Server to drop the connection. Try a netmon trace to get more details.

MSDE TCP listen problem

I have recently installed a MSDE 2000 (unfortunately with no service pack yet) on a Standard Windows 2003 server. I have used the srvntcn.exe utility to make the MSDE server listen on TCP/IP port 1433. But it will not listen on that port! Or any other TCP
/IP port!! There is no information in the ERRORLOG file. This file just tells me, that MSDE is listening on Named Pipes and Shared Memory.
I have tried making my own application listen on port 1433 to see if there were some security settings on that port. And my application had no problem in listening on port 1433.
After looking in the Event Viewer I found a solution to my problem: Windows 2003 Server automatically close down TCP/IP listening for MSDE, if MSDE is not updated with a Service Pack. MSDE without Service Pack is not very secure to virusses like Slammer.
|||As a side note, this does not just occur for MSDE 2000. TCP/IP is shutdown
for all editions of SQL Server 2000 without service pack 3 on Windows 2003.

MSDE Subscriber's database > 2GB

Hi all !
We have a database with publication on
SBS2003 Premium Edition,
and 4 subscribers on workstations in warehouses on:
- Windows XP Professional
- MSDE
The database is 1.6 GB now and growing
further. I should migrate from MSDE
to SQL Server 2000.
Which version of SQL has to be installed
at warehouses (on top of Win XP Prof)?
Do I have to break the replication before ?
Thanks,
Pagus
Paul,
what about Personal Edition + Win XP Pro ?
Win XP Pro is working OK with MSDE, I wouldn't like to
purchase Win Server product :-(

MSDE SP4

Can anyone please help me with upgrading to MSDE 2000 SP4
I need to upgrade BKUPExec Instance from SP3 to SP4 on Windows 2003 server.
The instance was installed by default while installing BKUPExec. Evry time I
run the upgrade from the command line using
setup /upgradesp sqlrun INSTANCENAME = BKUPEXEC /L*v C:\MSDElog.log
the upgrade fails. I am guessing it is failing becasue it was not installed
using the MSDE 2000 setup CD. Is it any way to upgrade it and getting working.
Thank you for your help.

MSDE SP3a and XP SP2 on Localhost

I've upgraded to SP 2 for Windows XP and now none of my apps can see MSDE
default instance on localhost (i.e. not over the network). I found where an
upgrade to SP3 was required for MSDE to coexist with XP SP2, so I upgraded
and it's still not working.
Is there something else I'm missing?
thanks in advance
XP SP2 installs a new local firewall that prevents applications from opening
listening ports. You will need to configure the local firewall to allow
sqlservr.exe open listening ports.

MSDE Setup Failed

Need Help !!!!

I'm trying to install MSDE on my computer - Dell 2.4 ghz
Operating system is Windows XP Professional.
I have already installed the WEB Matrix but having problems installing MSDE.
I keep getting this error message.

I receive this error message:

(Setup failed to configure the server. Refer to the server error logs and setup error
logs for more information.)

Thanks In AdvanceSigh. Setting up MSDE is one of the most complex things that Microsoft has imposed on us.

What do the logs say? They're usually a pretty good source of information.

MSDE Setup and first database

I'm deploying MSDE with a desktop app (windows forms .net).
after installing MSDE, how do I create the database for the application?
I cannot provide a createdb.sql script to the user because there is no
queryanalyzer or similar tools.
How can I run the create query from the setup? or what is the recommended
method for doing this?
Thank You!
Hi,
Give a batch file to create the database. All you have to do is double click
the batch file. batch file should contain:-
OSQL -Usa -Ppassword -S servername -Q'Create database
dbname' -o'c:\createdb.log'
Save the command inside a .BAT file and send to client side to create the
database. Instad of giving the -Q parameter you
can also input a .SQL file which contans sequence of TSQL commands.
Thanks
Hari

MSDE Service Manager on XP Pro SP2

I recently installed MSDE 2K on a Windows XP SP2 system. Everything appears
to be working fine, with the exception of the service manager. For some
reason, it will not find the system on the local network and will not
connect to it if I type the name in the server name area. Is this normal or

actually, for local instances connections, WinXP sp2 should not be a
problem, but only for remote connections :D
as regard the Service Manager not showing the instance name, this is a known
issue when network protocols are disabled (default setting) as you can see
in http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;EN-US;814132
as regard directly typing in the instance name... did you provide the name
in the ComputerName\InstanceName format ( or just (local)\InstanceName) ?

MSDE Running on Two Computers in Workgroup Mode

I have two PC running Windows XP Pro in Workgroup Mode. They both in mixed
authentication mode with blank sa password.
The usernames on each machine are the same and they have no password.
The problem I have is with merge replication. The replication fails with the
message "Login failed for user 'sa'. Reason: Not associated with a trusted
SQL Server connection."
Both computers use the local system account to start the SQL server agent.
If we connect manually to the database via ADO using the sa with blank
password we have no difficulties.
Can someone please advise where I am going wrong.
Thank you in advance.
Colin
Hi ,
There are a number of reasons why this error may occur:
Try using these steps:
1) Most probably you may not be able to logon on to the sql server using
windows authentication.
2) Try using windows authentication over named pipes instead fo tcp/ip to
connect to the sql server.
Make sure that you make use of an alias to do the task
This should fix the problem.

MSDE Replication in Workgroup Enviromnet

We currently have two machines in a workgroup environment and both are
running WIndows XP Pro SP1 and MSDE Sp3.
The problem we have is with the Merge Replication. The publisher writes
snapshot data to the snapshot folder, but the subscriber is unable to open
this file across the network. We get error 5 access denied.
From the subscriber PC through explorer/notepad we can open the file. The
file name is MSmerge_genhistory.bcp
If we were to put the pc into a domain we have no problem. Replication wor
Replication is probably accessing this file through a admin share
something like \\servername\d$\xxxxx\repldata\ which needs admin access to
the distributor machine.
Try configuring a named share like \\servername\repldata and allow access to
relevant user and set that to be the working directory. You can set the
working directory when configuring publisher
or through sp_adddistpublisher or sp_changedistpublisher.

without a Domain Controller, thought in a Workgroup environment, usually you
should rely on standard SQL Server authenticated connections for remote
ones, as all the authentication features are resolved and managed by the
Domain Controller it self..
you can however setup a local account to map the remote account of the other
machine... that's to say, on your local PC you have to add another account
with the very same "credentials" of other account(s) present on the remote
PCs...
all this (still) works becouse of the underlying OS gets somehow confused
and a sort of "embezzlement" where 2 differents accounts, YourPC\YourAccount
and OtherPC\YourAccount "share" a kind of uniqueness becouse of netbios
intrusion... a preventive netbios connection, even on a share or using NET
USE can help...
but this is not granted to work in future releases or even OS service
packs...

MSDE remote connection failure

Hi all,

I installed a MSDE on a Windows XP SP2 and configured it for accepting remote connections. But It shows the "SQL Server doesnot exist or connection denied" message whenever I try to connect to this server. For more information I am adding more facts

* It is an MSDE and not a WMSDE
* Firewall is turned off
* Server process is listening on 0.0.0.0:1433
* TCP/IP and Named Pipes are enabled using server network utility
* LoginMode=2 is set for mixed mode authentication in the registry
* Tried restaring the Process and even windows after the changes.

Please help me !!

Thanks in advanceHi friends,
I got the issue fixed. :angel:

I dont know how it works but it worked.

On the client side; using the client network utility, I added an alias to my server.

My server's instance name was SLIMSHADY\SSIT and it was listening on 8001(I changed it thru the registry) in mixed mode authentication.

It wasted my 4-5 hours of playing with the registry and googling. The final attempt succeeded in which I created an alias to the server Indicating its exact port number and Instance name.

Then I tried connecting using this alias .... IT WORKED !!

I DONT KNOW HOW IT WORKS BUT IT WORKED IN MY CASE

MSDE remote connection failure

Hi all,

I installed a MSDE on a Windows XP SP2 and configured it for accepting remote connections. But It shows the "SQL Server doesnot exist or connection denied" message whenever I try to connect to this server. For more information I am adding more facts

* It is an MSDE and not a WMSDE
* Firewall is turned off
* Server process is listening on 0.0.0.0:1433
* TCP/IP and Named Pipes are enabled using server network utility
* LoginMode=2 is set for mixed mode authentication in the registry
* Tried restaring the Process and even windows after the changes.

Please help me !!

MSDE Remote Connect strange problem

I'm trying to connect to the SharePoint MSDE database from Windows XP

SP2 machine over Ethernet LAN. I was getting server not found or access

denied, until I enabled TCP/IP via svrnetcn.exe. Now, I'm getting

OK

Connection failed:

SQLState: '01000'

SQL Server Error: 10061

[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][TCP/IP Sockets]ConnectionOpen

(Connect()).

Connection failed:

SQLState: '08001'

SQL Server Error: 17

[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][TCP/IP Sockets]SQL Server does not

exist or access denied.

I just did an netstat -an and I don't see the server listening on 1433.

What am I not doing?

The svrnetcn tool has no effect. I make a change and check the logs,

but nothing happens. What would be causing this?

Did you ever get an answer to this problem? I'm having a similar error on Windows XP SP2 machines that have MDAC 2.8SP1. I have an MS Access front end that links to SQL Server database using ODBC connections. The report will run, but keeps asking for SQL Server login info, then finally I get the same Connection failed error you listed with the exception on the line: SQL Server Error: 10048. However, the report actually finishes with all the data requested.

I have this same Access front end running on other XP machines with SP1 and Windows 2000 machines with MDAC 2.7 SP1. When the report runs on those machines it only asks for SQL Server login info when the program is first connecting to the db.

Any ideas?

Thank you thank you for letting me know about the svrnetcn.exe tool. I have been trying for hours to get a Sharepoint portal going and whilst for the error I had MS KB said enable tcp/ip, it didn't say how to do it for msde. Where did you find out about svrnetcn.exe and are there other useful tools I should know about? I'm ok with osql.

I have seen the error you are getting. It will happen if I'm not using Windows integrated authentication. If I try to connect with osql -U sa -S servername\instancename it doesn't work and gives a server does not exist or access denied. I have to use osql -E -S servername\instancename and it goes in fine.

Hope this helps - even if its a bit late!
