Installing SQL Server 2008 Express on windows 2000 server ?

Is is possible to install SQL Express 2008 on a Windows 2000 machine. Has anybody come across any issues doing this. any advice would appreciated.
Thanks in advance
Jayce.

Hi Jayce,
The web page "Hardware and Software Requirements for Installing SQL Server 2008 R2" does not list Windows 2000 as a compatability option as follows; -
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms143506.aspx#Express32
The earliest desktop operating system listed is Windows XP.
So I understand you can't successfully install SQL Express 2008 on a Windows 2000 machine.
Kind Regards,
Kieran.

I've installed SAP in my PC with windows 2000 server family... I want to upgrade my OS to XP. Can it be possible without unmounting SAP??? Please help me.

Hi Pratap,
SAP doesn't work with XP, it works only server Operating System.
But u can instal XP in the system without currupting the SAP.
Make sure that your HDD having atleast 3 partitions.
The first two partintions (Ex.C:/& D:/) may have 2000 Server and SAP respectively.
In the 3rd Partition (Ex.E:/) u can instal XP. but better to not touch 1st two Partitions
To Instal XP follow these steps.
Insert XP OS CD
Restat the System
follow installation procedure according CD
Finally select E:/ to install XP.
Pls let me know your feedback

Yes, of course. Both versions works but you have to be prepared for lots of RAM.

Install Oracle 8i Personald Edition on Windows 2000 Server SP2

Hi
I have problem to install the Oracle 8i Personal Edition on
Windows 2000 Server SP2.
I run the Setup.exe, I become the message (not exactly) “JRE
(Java Runtime Environment) was not found…… please visit
www.javasoft.com….. and install JRE version 1.1.7 or higher…”
Now, I have download and install this JRE (JavaTM 2 Runtime
Environment v 1.2.2_008 / Internationalized version of Java 2
Runtime Environment).
The error-messages comes again.
Have everyone a idea?

hi phill...
why dont you try it out with the same CD and increase your RAM
by another 64MB? This will be enough. The reason is , most
Oracle 8i releases are combined with a java based Oracle
Universal Installer. This requires some good amount of RAM. Just
try it out with some extra memory. If this also didnt work, then
send in the problem,error with your system config. This will
help me in solving your problem.

installation stop (CD, screen) when load DLLs Oracle, without
msg error.
(I Know Oracle 8.0.5 is pretty old, but...i have).

Has anyone had success with Messaging Server 5.2 under Windows 2000 Server?

Just to be up front - we MUST use Windows 2000 - they're not giving me a choice to move to Solaris or Sun Hardware. Linux isn't even a choice, nor is WinNT. (I know, it's annoying).
I've managed to get Directory Server 5.1 to run under windows 2000 without active directory installed. I found that I needed to modify the ims_dssetup.pl script that comes with the Messaging Server 5.2 to reference the full path to my ldapsearch and ldapmodify executables. Apparently, this is a win2k specific problem, and is not necessary on WinNT. This made ims_dssetup.pl work and the install of Messaging Server 5.2 work on a windows 2000 machine.
However, at reboot, the job controller and dispatcher do not automatically start. When I try to start the services manually, I get "Error 1067: The Service terminiated unexpectedly".
Any ideas? I'm desperate here - they're gonna make us use exchange if I can't get >>something<< working. Even a 4.x version of messaging server will do.
Thanks

Well, I do understand that.
However, I've installed iMS 5.2 on win2k several times (I admit, w2k pro, not server), and i've never installed AD.
If you can get it installed and working for your default domain, but not for other domains, then most likely it has nothign to do with AD or AD domains. iMS idea of domains is very different from AD's idea of domains. We need to be very clear about such.
for iMS, you have to create additional domains through Delegated Admin, as either "Hosted Domains" or as "Vanity Domains". We do not suggest using "Vanity Domains", and support for such is deprecated.
Once you have created "Hosted Domains" through Delegated Admin, you can add users to those domains, and they should work, just fine.

Cannot connect to SQL Server 2008 Express

I install SQL Server 2008 Express on Windows 7 and make sure SQL Server(SQLEXPRESS) service is running. Then I write a program via Visual C++ & ADO, and try to connect to the local SQL Service instance by using the following SQL connection string:
“Provider=sqloledb;Data Source=(local);Integrated Security=SSPI;”
But the connection fails. I try the same code on a computer with SQL Server 2008 Professional installed and it works without problems.
Please advise. Thanks.

Hi chcw,
Are you got any error message/information while connect to SQL Server express instance faild via VC++ & ADO? If so, please post them for further investigation.
Please also check the windows firewall. Firewall systems help prevent unauthorized access to computer resources. If a firewall is turned on but not correctly configured, attempts to connect to SQL Server might be blocked. For more information, please see:

IIRC this file, sasl32.dll, should get installed onto %WINDIR%\system32 when you install DS5.2 windows version.
You may run WinZIP and File/Open "d52diu.zip" (DS5.2 zip image) and look for "nsbasesys.zip", double click to Open it and you should find "sasl32.dll" there.

Can i change my Exchange 2003 organization to NATIVE MODE if my Front-End Exchange server is Windows 2000 Server

I am planing to upgrade from exchange server 2003 to exchange server 2010. I understand 2010 can co-exisist with 2003, but my 2003 organization must be in NATIVE MODE, not a problem because i don't have anymore MS Server 2000 domain controllers, they
were decommisioned a few moths after we moved to AD. However my Front-End exchange server that sits on my DMZ is running Exchange server 2003 on Windows 2000 Server.
Can i change my Exchange 2003 organization to NATIVE MODE if my Front-End Exchange server is on the Windows 2000 Server OS? If not, will i have to setup a new Front-End Exchange server on at least Windows Server 2003 to replace the 2000 server setup?
It's been a very long time since these servers were configured so i may need help setting up a new Front-End server if it will be required.
thanks

Bobby

My apologies for the very, very late reply, is have made the change to native mode for my
Exchange environment, email is working fine, no problems. Thanks Cheng.<o:p></o:p>
I ran the Exchange 2010 Pre-Deployment Analyzer tool yesterday, and it showed that the
Active Directoy Forest is not Windows Server 2003 native. The domain forest
functional level showed the level to be "Windows Server 2003", is
just wanted to verify this.<o:p></o:p>
Our corporate AD has one Root domain, (I’ll call it, Corp.com) and one child
domain, (I’ll call it, na.corp.com). na.corp.com is functioning at Server 2003,
the Forest of Corp.com, as the analyzer found, shows a functional level of
Windows 2000. All Windows 2000 PDC have been off the network for almost 9
years, and were properly demoted and removed. I guess the one place is didn't
look was at the Forest level.<o:p></o:p>
I opened the AD Sites and Service mmc plugin on the corp.com server and did find the old
Windows 2000 PDC listed with the Servers. I drilled down into the containers
for the old server, deleted everything, and was able to delete the W2K PDC. I
still cannot raise the Forest level however.<o:p></o:p>
I also noticed that domain replication has errors, (8614, 1908, 1256, and 8606), so i
have a bit of a mess, and i am not sure how to fix it. I will post this on the
Exchange 2010 upgrade, and AD forums for assistance, but i wonder if i need
paid assistance.<o:p></o:p>
Thanks again Cheng

Install SSMS on SQL Server 2008 Express

Hi,I'm trying to install SSMS on my Windows 2008 Server running SQL Server 2008 Express.
I get the following error when I try to install it:
How do I get around this? I thought I had at least SP1 installed but don't know how to check.

Hello,
The easiest way is to install SSMS with SP3, you can get it here:
Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio Express Service Pack 3
Otherwise: It's just a warning, go on with Installation and apply SP1 (or better SP3) afterwards:

Hi Manne,
As your description, you come across an error when trying to install SQL Server 2008 express Service Pack 1 on windows XP Service Pack 3 machine. From your error log, I get the error(unable to read registry value). As my analysis, the issue could be due
to that your account doesn't have access to registry. Below are the recommendations for troubleshooting the issue.
1. Make sure that you log in as an administrator of the machine.
2. Please follow the steps below to make sure that you have granted the right permission to registry.
a. Located HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server in registry.
b. Right click and go to Permission, then you could see user accounts or groups. If your user account is not in the list, you could click Add to add your account there.
c. Select your account and Click on Advance.
d. Check on both check box ('Include inheritable permissions from this object's parent'.
and 'Replace all child object permissions with inheritable permissions from this object'), click OK.
e. Click OK again.
Regards,
Michelle Li
