Configuring Environment for first time

Each time I start of SQL Server Management Studio, I get the following message "Microsoft  SQL Server Management Studio configuring environment for first time". 
I had a simiiliar message with Visual Studio 2005 and fixed it by setting the setting to look on local disk drive.  I cannot find a similiar setting in SQL Server 2005. 
Any suggestions on how to resolve?

Anybody still want this answered?
Thanks!

  • SQL Server Management Studio - Configuring the environment for first time use

    Hi
    I have recently switched my local 'My Documents' folder location to a network drive that I 'make available off line' to allow on-line/off-line work and synchronisation when I am working in and out of the office.
    When I load my SQL Server Management Studio 2005 I frequently get 'Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio is configuring the environment for first time use'.
    Management Studio  them loads and I can continue without problem.
    I am guessing it is trying to make reference to some settings file. Any ideas? I wonder if I can change/move these settings elsewhere to a local drive?
    Thanks

    Hi,
    There is bug report of this issue:
    http://connect.microsoft.com/SQLServer/feedback/details/126364/configuring-enviroment-for-the-first-time-every-time-in-ms-sql-server-management-express
    "SQL Server Management Studio Express saves the settings for the user in ...\Documents and Settings\<User Profile>\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server\90\Tools\ShellSEM
    and in ...\Documents and Settings\<user profile>\Application Data\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server\90\Tools\ShellSEM
    if any of these files are not available or unusable, SSMSE will generate new ones."
    Hope this helps.

  • Computer keeps Configuring and setting up for first time use

    I have a toshiba A505-S6980 that has been working fine for a couple years.  Recently I had performance issues and suspected virus, spyware so I did a recovery with the original discs I made when I first got the computer.  Four of the six discs reloaded fine.  It did not ask for the last two discs "Environment 64 bit and Applications and Drives.  I also have a System Repair disc.  After loading the four recovery discs the computer now keeps recycling between preparing for first time use, configuring system, reboot and then back to preparing for first time use,etc.  I think I'm close to getting this, but need a last bit of help.
    Thanks

    It's been a couple days since you posted this problem. Did you get anywhere, or are you still stuck in that loop? If it's still stuck, you may just want to perform the recovery again.

  • Performance issue in browsing SSAS cube using Excel for first time after cube refresh

    Hello Group Members,
    This is a continuation of my earlier blog question -
    https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/a1e424a2-f102-4165-a597-f464cf03ebb5/cache-and-performance-issue-in-browsing-ssas-cube-using-excel-for-first-time?forum=sqlanalysisservices
    As that thread is marked as answer, but my issue is not resolved, I am creating a new thread.
    I am facing a cache and performance issue for the first time when I try to open a SSAS cube connection using Excel (using Data tab  -> From Other Sources --> From Analysis Services) after daily cube refresh. In end users system (8 GB RAM but around
    4GB available RAM), for the first time, it takes 10 minutes to open the cube. From next run onwards, its open up quickly within 10 secs.
    We have daily ETL process running in high end servers. The configuration of dedicated SSAS cube server is 8 core, 64GB RAM. In total we have 4 cube DB - out of which for 3 is full cube refresh and 1 is incremental refresh. We have seen after daily cube
    refresh, it takes 10 odd minutes to open the cube in end users system. From next time onwards, it opens up really fast with 10 secs. After cube refresh, in server systems (32 GB RAM, around 4GB available RAM), it takes 2 odd minutes to open the cube.
    Is there, any way we could reduce the time taken for first attempt ?
    As mentioned in my previous thread, we have already implemented a cube wraming cache. But, there is no improvement.
    Currently, the cumulative size of the all 4 cube DB are more than 9 GB in Production and each cube DB having 4 individual cubes in average with highest cube DB size is 3.5 GB. Now, the question is how excel works with SSAS cube after
    daily cube refresh?
    Is it Excel creates a cache of the schema and data after each time cube is refreshed and in doing so it need to download the cube schema in Excel's memory? Now to download the the schema and data of each cube database from server to client, it will take
    a significant time based on the bandwidth of the network and connection.
    Is it anyway dependent to client system RAM ? Today the bigest cube DB size is 3.5 GB, tomorrow it will be 5-6 GB. Now, though client system RAM is 8 GB, the available or free RAM would be around 4 GB. So, what will happen then ?
    Best Regards, Arka Mitra.

    Could you run the following two DMV queries filling in the name of the cube you're connecting to. Then please post back the row count returned from each of them (by copying them into Excel and counting the rows).
    I want to see if this is an issue I've run across before with thousands of dimension attributes and MDSCHEMA_CUBES performance.
    select [HIERARCHY_UNIQUE_NAME]
    from $system.mdschema_hierarchies
    where CUBE_NAME = 'YourCubeName'
    select [LEVEL_UNIQUE_NAME]
    from $system.mdschema_levels
    where CUBE_NAME = 'YourCubeName'
    Also, what version of Analysis Services is it? If you connect Object Explorer in Management Studio to SSAS, what's the exact version number it says on the top server node?

  • Long time to open workbook for first time

    Hi,
    I have a workbook with three queries . Performance of workbook is good when it was created for first time. It has additional 22 sheets with formulas and other sheets with values based on query sheets.
    The problem starts after I close the existing session and open in another session when it takes 15 to 20 minutes to come up.But after that the book is slow even for single click button action.
    Version of analysis 1.4.6
    Win 7(64 bit)
    Ms office 2010(32 bit)
    Refresh on opening is disabled.
    Few thing which I did:
    >> I opened up task manager and did analyze wait chain, I found that excel.exe is waiting for splwow64.exe process.
    >> I enabled logging at "debugging information" in support setting for workbook and checked things out in log file.
    Found that
    There was warning "AddSerializer failed (Command processors not initialized)
    Looking at log file for events when book took time to open, I found that time stamp gap between  following events"
    -verbose: Working mode as serialized in document:'Local'
    -verbose: Successfully deserialized system info from workbook  XML
    - verbose: ...its logs various properties of queries like query name,id etc"
    and its immediate previous event of cache formula string is 20 mins.
    >> in another session I opened a workbook with normal performance.Found above mentioned warning message and deserialization... information.
    the difference in this case is that there is not delay in events.
    Has anybody faced this issue? Any idea on deserialization of workbook xml in analysis.
    Any idea where is metadata saved in analysis. is it in form of some hidden script object just as in BEx 7.0
    Thanks
    Pramod.

    Hi Pramod,
    Since you have several sheets in this workbook, have you checked the number of custom styles?
    Please check the SAP note http://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1899658
    According to the note, too many styles slow down Analysis for Office.
    The note also contains a macro that you can run on your workbook to delete the custom styles if you want to check.
    Regards,
    Filipe

    i am using for first time the time machine and an external hard drive because I want to erase my macbook and start from zero files. Am i keeping my files in the portable hard disk when I will connect it again with the macbook or the time machine will erase all?
    I would like to know if after I erase all my data, empy hard drive inside the macbook, the time machine will erase all my files that I have saved in my "WD "My passport" external hard drive

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    Time Machine has to erase the external disk in order to make backups. Before setting Time Machine up, copy the files of your external disk to the hard disk of the Mac in order not to lose them, and then, set up Time Machine. The first backup will start automatically.
    If you want more information about Time Machine, read the Pondini's site > http://pondini.org

  • How do I sync my new ipad mini with my old ipad 2, without losing any apps or data in notes?  I need step by step instructions for first-time sync with ipad mini.  Thanks.

    How do I sync my new ipad mini with my old ipad 2, without losing any apps or data in notes?  I need step by step instructions for first-time sync with ipad mini.  Thanks.

    If you synced it many times, you have to have a backup. It's just a question of how old that backup is now. When did you last sync?
    First of all launch iTunes on your computer and go to Edit>Preferences>Devices. Do you see any backups for you iPad in that window? If so, how new is the newest backup? That will be the backup that you will want to use. But remember that if you use that backup and it is one month old, you can only restore from that date back in time. Anything that you did on the iPad in the past month will not be in that backup.
    Turn on the new iPad Minin and start activating OTA via WiFi. You will get to a certain point in the process where you will be given the choice to Set up as new, Restore from iCloud - or Restore from iTunes. You will want to select Restore from iTunes.
    That is the short and sweet version. There are step by step instructions in this article. This applies to the mini as well as the iPad 4 or the iPad 3 for that matter.

    Using iPod shuffle 4th generation for first time and receiving the error : one of the USB devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned, and windows does not recognize it. For assistance in solving this problem, click this message.
    Using win 7 and latest iTunes [10.6.3]. Have already gone through below links and did not find any solution.

    http://en.kioskea.net/forum/affich-17997-ipod-not-detected

    I was hoping it would be something like a USB device conflict, but now the shuffle is the only thing connected...
    This article was one of the ones you linked to above in your initial post
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1369
    Under Part 9. Verify that USB drivers are installed, did you try the steps in If only "Unknown Device" appears?  That appears to be your situation.
    Also, you said that the shuffle initially worked well enough to do a sync, then it had the same problem again.  If you can get it to work again initially, before doing anything else, try the following.  Select the shuffle in the iTunes sidebar, under DEVICES.  Over to the right, go to the Summary tab.  By default, the checkbox for Enable disk use should be unchecked.  If so, check it and Apply the change.  See if that makes any difference. 
    (If Enable disk use was already checked, try unchecking it and Apply the change.  Basically, set it the "other way" and see if there is any improvement.)
    NOTE:  When disk use is enabled, you have to eject the iPod in iTunes before disconnecting it physically.
    If the disk use change makes a difference, that may provide a clue about the actual cause.

    Apple says Java 6 is very insecure and not to use it.  I have the latest Java installed.  Why won't Illustrator launch?  What else can I do?

    using Apple TV for first time - to rent a movie.  Logged in successfully - billing info updated.  Keep getting message to log into Itunes on PC - movie won't load on TV -
    any advice?

    3GB for a movie? That's almost equivalent to an original DVD. 
    Have you checked in the Recently Added playlist?
    I think this is possibly linear.  Select 'normal' in HB, iTunes accepts it; select 'high quality' in HB iTunes doesn't.  I can't say why; I don't have any video that anywhere approaches 3GB in size.  If that's how iTunes behaves I don't see you have too many options.  You either select normal and it works, or you select HQ and live with playing the movie outside of iTunes.
    I won't ask what movie because any help with illegally ripped copy protected DVDs is strictly prohibited by the Terms of Use so I'm assuming this is a 6 hour video of your puppy playing on the floor.

  • Lov is not validating when i open a form for first time

    hi all,
    i am using form6i.
    i have one multi record block. in which lov is attached to it.
    but when i open the form for first time the item corresponding the above said is not showing and if i enter the value then also its not validating against. its showing error frm-40210
    but when i click on other item and come to this item Lov is showing.
    what could be the reason for this strange behaviour.
    i have checked set_item_properties too(there is properties have been set)
    Please advice.
    Thanks..

    FRM-40210: Search string not found.
    what could be the reason for this strange behaviour.Do you have an "Initial Value" set for the item? Do you have the "Validate from list" property set to yes or are you setting the initial value through code?
    Hope this helps,
    Craig B-)
