Need to connect SQL Server 2008 and CR 2008 via OLE DB SQL Server Provider

I am relatively new to Crystal but have done some minor design/layout work in the past. I just purchased CR 2008 and dowloaded a Eval Copy of SQL Server 2008 to build test reports that will then be uploaded to a hosted web app we use for use with live data.
I am having some trouble, however, getting SQL server and CR 08 to talk the way I need them to. We have to use the OLE DB for SQL Server Provider connection for the reports to work in our hosted live environment but I cannot get this to work on SQL 2008. The server never appears in the Server dropdown and if I manually type it get the following error:
failed to open connection.
Detail ADO Error Code: 0x80004005
Source: Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server
Description: [DBNETLIB][ConnectionOpen (Connect()).]SQL Server does not exist or access is denied.
SQL State: 08001
Native Error: 17 [Database Vendor Code: 17 ]
I am setting up the connection through the Database Expert choosing the OLE DB (ADO) folder and then selecting 'Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server' then entering my server name, user id, password, and Database name.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled everything twice. I have installed the Microsoft SQL Server 2008 Analysis Service 10.0 OLEDB Provider pack.
My provider/host does use SQL Server 2005 but since I can't get a free Evaluation version of it I have to use 2008 for my local copy. I have searched the web over (including here) and cannot find an answer to my issue.
I cannot use SQL Server Express version because our copy of the DB is too big. I cannot use the Native 10 provider as the reports will not work once I have uploaded them to the live data.
any help anyone can provide for this would be GREATLY appreciated. Thank you and sorry if this is a dupe post. I have searched everywhere and cannot find the answer.

Hello,
Go to Microsoft's site and download their OLE DB test tool and test the connection. Did you install the MS client tools to test the connection also?
As a test try creating an ODBC System DSN just to verify you can connect and create a report also.
And don't use the SA account, MS 2008 disabled it, sort of, so you'll have to create a new account and grant permissions to any table you need to use.
SQL 2008 changed security model big time so it's not the same as 2005 once was....
Good luck
Don

I suggest you make this your own iPhone by erasing everything on it. You will lose everything and have to start over.

You control the camera for Skype from within Skype, so Skype must be running to running to make video work.

Two previous questions may not have been as clear as I would have liked. I recently upgraded my MacBook 2008 (10.5.8) to Snow Leopard (10.6.8). With the updates came iTunes 11.1.1 and Quicktime 7.6.6. I am still using Garageband 2008 and iPhoto 2008. When I create music in Garageband I usually adjust the volume and save it. Even now when I share the Garageband created files with iTunes 11.1.1, the volime I previously set in Garageband is retained. However, when I use the music to create a slide show in iPhoto 2008 and export to Quicktime 7.6.6, the volume level I previously set is lost and seems to default to a low level. The problem seems to be either in the slide show export from iPhoto 2008 to Quicktime 7.6.6 or in Quicktime itself. Is there a work around, so that I can retain the volume level I had previously set in Garageband, a volume level that seems to transfer without problem to the new iTunes. But then iPhoto 2008 (slide show) possibly or Quicktime 7.6.6 do not cooperate. Before I did the upgrade to Snow Leopard, the new iTunes and Quicktime I had no problems with the set volume being retained in the old Quicktime. The reason I need control over the volume is that all these music files are uploaded to YouTube.

HT1515 do you need to connect the airport express to a router via ethernet or can it do it using wireless?

do you need to connect the airport express to a router via ethernet or can it do it using wireless?

There are 3 Apple routers....AirPort Express, AirPort Extreme and Time Capsule. Details here:

Do you have one of these products in the living room?
If no, you can only use the AirPort Express by connecting to the router in the living room using an Ethernet cable at all times.

Has anyone upgraded sql 2005 to sql 2008 and win 2008 Netweaver 7.0, ECC 6?

We are currently running the following landscapes
Netweaver BI 7..0 on windows 2003 , sql 2005,
ECC 6.0 on windows 2003, sql 2005
SAP Portal 7 on windoes 2003 , sql 2005
And would like to plan the migration to windows 2008, sql 2008 IE 7.0
I just wanted to get some feedback regarding if someone has already done this and how you all went about to upgrade? Issues you encountered, things to avoid, all that good stuff
Without doing much research yet, and having just completed the migration from 32bit OS to 64bit and sql 2000 to sql 2005, I had to perform a NEW install of SAP on parallel servers , export from 32bit and import to 64bit servers
When we upgrade to windows 2008 and sql 2008, will we ALSO require to do a NEW install of SAP? just like what I just finished?
Please advise?
Regards & Thank You in Advance
Maria

Hello Maria,

Need a Way to Create a Local Group Push via GPO on Windows Server 2003 DC

There is a new requirement to create a new local group on all machines and add all local and built-in administrators. To save time, I would like a GPO to create the new group, along with configuring its members. Any helpful information I found
is for Windows Server 2008 and up.
Does anyone know what I can do with my Windows Server 2003 DC?
Thanks,
Jasmin

> Does anyone know what I can do with my Windows Server 2003 DC?
Since DCs do not have local groups - what OS are your member servers and
clients running? If 2003/XP: Install KB943729
You need _one_ computer running Vista/2008 or higher to edit your GPO.

OIM connector for AD 2008 and exchange 2008

hello,
Customer is in migration of AD 2003 to AD 2008 and exchange 2003 to Exchange 2008. I do know that OIM connects exists for AD 2003 and Exchange 2003.. but not seen any for AD 2008 or Exchange 2008.. So, does any one have idea that how to get the connectors from oracle or already exists then where are those..
Looking to here you soon.

Hi,
I don't know why your client want's to migrate to 2008, they are so new versions and there is no compatible connector at this moment for them. You could try to use the current ones, but for sure you'll find problems with them.
If they are actually migrating to 2008, you'll probably need to code your own connector from scratch, or make huge modifications on current connectors as there is no announce from Oracle for new releases.
I recommend to ask your Oracle provider or open an SR to ask about it.
Good luck!

Exchange Server 2013 and Remote Access VPN on a single server running Windows Server 2012?

Just by way of background, I have been installing and administering network servers, e-mail systems, VPN servers, and the like for many years. However, my involvement with Exchange and Windows Server has been mostly on the forensics and data recovery
level, or as a (sophisticated) user. I have never tried to deploy either from scratch before. My deployment experiences have been mostly with Linux in recent years, and with small private or personal "servers" running such cutting edge
software as Windows XP back when it was new. And even NetWare once.
When a client asked me if I could set up a server for his business, running Exchange Server (since they really want Outlook with all of its bells and whistles to work, particularly calendars) and providing VPN access for a shared file store, I figured it
could not be too difficult given that its a small business, with only a few users, and nothing sophisticated in the way of requirements. For reasons that don't bear explaining here, he was not willing to use a vendor hosting Exchange services or cloud
storage. There is no internal network behind the server; it is intended to be a stand-alone server, hanging off a static IP address on the Internet, providing the entirely mobile work-force of about 10 people with Exchange-hosted e-mail for their computers
and phones, a secure file store, and not much else. If Exchange didn't need it, I would not need to install Active Directory, for example. We have no direct need for its services.
So I did the research and it appears, more by implication than outright assertion, that I should be able to run Windows Server 2012 with Exchange Server 2013 on a server that also hosts Remote Access (VPN only) and does nothing else. And it appears
I ought to be able to do it without virtualizing any of it. However, I have spent the last three or four days fighting one mysterious issue after another. I had Remote Access VPN working and fairly stable very quickly (although it takes a very
long time to become available after the server boots), and it has mostly remained reliable throughout although at times while installing Exchange it seems to have dropped out on me. But I've always been able to get it back after scrounging through the
logs to find out what is bothering it. I have occasionally, for a few minutes at a time, had Exchange Server willing to do everything it should do (although not always everything at the same time). At one point I even received a number of e-mails
on my BlackBerry that had been sent to my test account on the Exchange Server, and was able to send an e-mail from my BlackBerry to an outside account.
But then Exchange Server just stopped. There are messages stuck in the queues, among other issues, but the Exchange Administration Center refuses now to display anything (after I enter my Administrator password, I just get a blank screen, whether on
the server or remotely).
So, I am trying to avoid bothering all of you any more than I have to, but let me just begin with the basic question posed in the title: Can I run Exchange Server (and therefore Active Directory and all of its components) and Remote Access (VPN only) on
a single Windows Server 2012 server? And if so, do I have to run virtual machines (which will require adding more memory to the server, since I did not plan for it when I purchased it)? If it can be done, can anyone provide any pointers on what
the pitfalls are that may be causing my problems? I am happy to provide whatever additional information anyone might like to help figure it out.
Thanks!

An old thread but I ran into this issue and thought I share my solution since I ran into the same issue. Configuring VPN removes the HTTPS 443 binding on the Default Site in IIS for some strange reason; just go and editing the bindings, add HTTPS and things
should be back to normal.

Need Help Connecting Audigy 2 ZS and DVD Surround Sys

Ok, forgive me if I sound confusing, but I am confused.
Here is what I want to do:
Connect my Protron 5. surround system to my media center PC. The surround system is a DVD player that connects to a sub, which the speakers plug into. Here is a picture in case I confued some of you.
<IMG src="http://www.geocities.com/nish4x/stereo.JPG">
How exactly can I hook this surround system up to my PC? I dont need the DVD player, but I am guessing I need it to connect that to my PC in order for the 5. to work?Message Edited by Nish4x on 0-09-2006 02:26 PM

You need 6 rca cables and an 3 3.5mm stereo to rca adapters.
I suggest you get the rca adpaters from www.impactacoustics.com or wherever you get
the cables to go branded items (they sell their items to dealers under the brand name "cables to go").
For the rca cables www.monoprice.com sells excellent ones for cheap prices, look for the 75 ohm subwoofer cables,
or 75 ohm rca cables.
Connect the 3 adapters to your sounc card and then route the rca plugs into the sound system. Since I also have the audigy 2 zs, which I like the
fact that you have a lot of room to manuever, just plug the rca adapters into the center, green, and black and then put the rca cables into the dvd player. You may need to use the thx setup console to test to see if you plugged in the rca channels to the right ones into the sound system, ie did you put the white rca cable into the front left channel rather than the front right.
Happy hooking it up. If you need more advice, private message me or respond to this forum, be aware thogh with a lot of topics, your forum can get lost/

I really need help connect with my ipod and my itune??

guys when i pluge my ipot to my computer and open itune it appear on the itune with my computer screen "iTune has detected an ipod that appear to be courrupted. you may need to restore this ipod before it can be used with itunes. you may also try disconnecting and reconnecting the ipod.

Q. What if I lost my receipt or proof of purchase?
A. You should check with your reseller, who may be
able to provide a duplicate receipt for you. If you
purchased directly from Apple, go to:
www.apple.com/support/store for a duplicate receipt.
is that true?
I'm not sure about individual store policy but if you bought it from Apple then there will be no error in when it was purchased because you bought it directly from them.
