SQL 2005 preinstalled on X200s, why?

My X200s appears to have  come with SQL server 2005 preinstalled. Anyone know the specific reason for this? What would happen if I uninstall it?

gkey, welcome to the forum,
it's installed probably because you also have a preinstalled test version of Office 2007, the SQL is needed for the Business Contact Manager. If you have no plans to use BCM you can uninstall SQL without any "after effects". If you uninstall BCM it should uninstall SQL at the same time.
Hope this helps

The page that shows  which version of flash player goes with Windows XP states that I should have 10.3.181.34 (This is what I thought I had before I updated, I was having the same problems). When I went into my computer to see what version I have, it shows 11.5.9.620 Activex and both Flash Player and Flash Player Object is listed as 10.3.181.34. My firewall for Windows is set to medium.

  • SQL 2005 will not connect in SQL 2012 profiler

    We have a few SQL 2005 databases that we manage. I went to do a trace on them(recently upgraded to 2012) and it gives me the error, "SQL Server Native Client 11.0 does not support connections to SQL Server 2000 and earlier versions".
    According to MSDN it does.  https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc280356(v=SQL.110).aspx  
    "SQL Server Native Client 11.0 supports connections to SQL Server 2005, SQL Server 2008, SQL Server 2008
    R2, SQL Server 2012, and Windows Azure SQL Database."
    Any clue why it wouldn't let me connect?

    Can you specify the following parameter in the "connect to server" dialog when you load the Profiler --> click on "options" button and go to "Additional Connection Parameters" tab and paste the following?

  • SQL Agent job running DTS package running in SQL 2005 is unable to run if job onwer is not logged onto server

    I am currently working on a SQL Server upgrade project for a a client where I am converting old dts packages to SSIS. However for a few of the packages no conversion is allowed to be done. For these few packages I have to use dts legacy components in SQL
    2005 on a windows 2003 server to run them.
    These packages use CAPICOM via an Active X script in the package to envelope connection string data for security within the package. Consequently I have to register the capicom.dll for the job owner (which will execute the job via proxy) and install private
    and public key files via internet explorer. I also do this when I am logged in with my account so i can test the package.
    I have created a SQL Server Agent Job which is used to execute the package. We have a schedule account which is local admin on the server and sysadmin within SQL Server. This account is used to create a credential and then a proxy for the CmdExec subsystem
    is then created based on this credential. A CmdExec job step is then added to the job. The directory of  cmd file which calls the dts package is then entered in the command window.
    Finally a recurring schedule is added to execute the job every 5 minutes. 
    If i am logged in to the server using the scheduled account the schedule runs successfully. I am also able to run the command file manually by double clicking on it. The DTS package is run successfully. However once the schedule is set up and I log off the
    machine and log onto my development machine with my normal account and fire up  SQL Server. I connect to that instance with the schedule and see that the job is failing with and Active X error in the package. From experience with this package this Active
    X  error occurs when the user executing the package has not registered the capicom.dll. This has already been done for the scheduler account because the job runs when the scheduler account is logged in on the server. 
    It almost seems as though the job will only run if the Scheduler account is logged on. If i log directly on to the server with own user account I am able to manually execute the package via the cmd file which indicates that the capciom.dll is registered
    under my account. Yet if I try an run the job in SQL Server when I am logged in under my account (using the scheduler account proxy) then the job fails.
    Does anybody have any idea why this may be happening? Any ideas would be much appreciated

    Run the job SSIS step under a proxy account that is derived from the domain account, non-expiring password and has been set to have all the necessary rights.

  • Connect Non-SAP Oracle db (32bit) in sql 2005 (64 bit) using linked server

    Hi,
    I am connecting Oracle 10g database from SQL 2005 using linked server, in which i get the error
    "Cannot initialize the data source object of OLE DB provider "MSDAORA" for linked server "L2ORACLE".
    OLE DB provider "MSDAORA" for linked server "L2ORACLE" returned message "Oracle client and networking components
    were not found. " (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 7303)
    SAP Server with sql 2005 db is in 64 bit server / Windows 2003
    Non-SAP Oracle 10g is in 32 bit windows 2003 server.
    i have installed Oracle 64 bit client in the SAP Server and also copied the 64 bit version of dboraslib.dll to the DIR_LIBRARY path. I am able to view the oracle tables in the oracle client.
    But, when i create the linked server, it gives the above error.
    If i install 32 bit version of Oracle client in the SAP Server, i am able to create the linked server in the db level, but, it says "Work Process restarted, session terminated" message in the Z program in SAP.
    The same works in the test environment where both are 32 bit servers. problem is when SAP server is in 64 bit and non sap is in 32 bit.
    Please suggest.
    Thanks and Regards,
    Nagu

    "Cannot initialize the data source object of OLE DB provider "MSDAORA" for linked server "L2ORACLE".

    check the workprocess traces for errors (and/or SM21). It seems that the system is "not aware" that an Oracle client is installed.
    64bit programs can´t load 32bit libraries/DLLs that´s why the workprocess dumps when you use the 32bit client.

  • What is SQL 2000 mode in SQL 2005 Server?

    I have a application which will work in SQL 2000 (literally). I am upgrading my SQL server to 2005 from 2000. I want to know how to make SQL 2005 to function as SQL 2000 so that my application will continu working with 2005 too..?
    In other words where is the option as "Run this program in compatibility mode for" like we have in Windows?
    I appreciate all your help.
    Ping me in Yahoo IM : rajeshtheodore too

    Which Oracle product? You've only mentioned two Microsoft products and an unnamed application so far.
    In other words where is the option as "Run this program in compatibility mode for" like we have in Windows?Do you mean an option in this application that works on SQL Server, or an option in SQL Server 2005? Why would we know anything about either of those?

  • Microsoft SQL 2005 preload problem

    Hi Guys,
    First post! I took receipt of my W520 a few weeks ago. It is great, very pleased with it on the whole.
    There is one problem, however. I play a fair amount of recreational card games over the internet. This requires a program which converts the text file “hand histories” into postgreSQL server data to make it quickly readable and provide tracking for win/loss among a whole host of other statistical things.
    Unfortunately after going through their troubleshooting numerous times, going through factory restore and repeating the process, I still cannot get my SQL server to automatically start. Believe me, I have tried everything. Running them all as admin, editing the startup in the windows “services” dialog etc etc. The server does start manually and the program works fine, but every time I start it I have to do it manually and it is irritating. It should just start up in the background but it doesn’t.
    I believe it is the Microsoft SQL 2005 express that is somehow blocking the auto start. Basically, I want my Lenovo as it is, just without the preloaded SQL server. Using the factory restore just reloads it back on and when I manually uninstall the SQL server I still have the same problem. I believe it leaves a lot of little nuggets behind when you uninstall it through the standard W7 “uninstall a program” and the full uninstall looks a long and difficult process, with no guarantee of really removing everything.
    So, the plan is to install a bare copy of W7 using a borrowed disk, install my own personal SQL program and test to see if that works. I am almost certain it will. From there, I plan to build back my programs on top so I essentially have my PC now, bar the bundled SQL 2005 express or whatever it is. Following this I will make a system image and store it away safely to avoid all this mess and only reinstall using the factory disks if absolutely necessary.
    I have my W7 OEM serial, found using a serial grabber. Obviously I didn’t pay all this money to scrap all the useful thinkvantage tools like “airbag” and basic fingerprint/camera drivers etc. I also like the realtime warranty countdown timer. How should I go about this task? Is all I need is the PC serial underneath to reload thinkvantage at a later date with full functionality? Is there anything I should consider before starting?
    If there is a better subforum to post this question in, please let me know.
    Many thanks,
    Nick

    What is service dependency?
    Yes I tried to make a batch file. Not in startup folder, but one on the desktop that had the right path. This returned an error from the statistical program and not the SQL server. It initially looked hopeful as I had it start up the "start server" option for the right SQL server. This opened up the dos window and said it had correctly started. However, when the stats program launched it hung up on loadscreen and returned an error message. Not sure why this was, but it didn't seem to like being loaded through a .bat.
    This seems like a work around more than a solution anyway. I just want to get it to work properly.

  • Sql 2005 standard edition for sql and AS databases with bpc 7.0 sp3 ?

    hello
    Install guide tells that we must use SQL 2005 Enterprise Edition with BPC except for Reporting Services.
    Customer asks wether he could use SQL 2005 Standard Edition for SQL database and Analysis Services ?
    Thanks.

    Hello Sorin. Two more questions, please:
    1) what do you mean by "Also into Application server you need EE because only in this version you have control flow." ?
    Is "control flow"  "business process flow" new functionality ?
    2) On the other hand, I don't think that BPC admin task is able to handle lite or full optimize without an Enterprise Edition Client.
    But customer asks wether it is possible to install on application server
    - SSIS standard edition for SSIS service
    - SSRS standard edition for Reporting Services
    - SQL client Enterprise Edition to let BPC admin task handle lite and full optimize properly.
    Why all this ? Because Enterprise Edition costs ten times more than Standard Edition and in a multi-server configuration, customer has to buy several SQL Server licenses, one per server running at least one SQL server service. (For example, with SQL,SSIS and OLAP on one server, and SSIS and SSRS running on the application server, customer has to buy two SQL servers licenses).
    Thanks. R.

  • Sql 2005 login error

    Post Author: dmccahanpppa
    CA Forum: General
    We are migrating from JD Edwards on AS400 to Microsoft Dynamics GP on SQL 2005. I can create and refresh reports without problem using sa as the login account in Crystal. When I use any of the users created in Dynamics GP (as they have to for users to access GP) I get a login error from the SQL server. This is using the same ODBC connection and I have taken some of the users and elevated there permission on the GP database and/or overall sql server to even dbo and sysadmin and still cannot get any login other than sa to work. Any sql GURUs out there that can tell me what I'm missing?
    Thanks

    Post Author: dmccahanpppa
    CA Forum: General
    I have tried creating ODBC connections (and also found a business objects article on OLE DB and tried that) with SQL Authentication and also with windows. I have made sure my users have usernames in GP that are all lower case name and password. The only thing that is getting me close is to use windows authentication on the odbc connection, set the odbc connection to a specific sql database, and give the users windows read permissions to that database. As a domain admin this gives complete access. With the users the login error goes away but I only see stored procedures and not the tables or views. I'm trying to find the minimum access to give the users in windows to allow windows authentication to work.
    What I don't understand is why this should be so difficult to find the correct answer on. I have the same issue on a very plain install (everything on the server, sql, gp, and crystal) with just microsoft's test company and data as I do the production system (gp and sql on one server and citrix client and crystal on another). I setup the test server (a couple of times blew the whole thing away and rebuilt following gp procedures) and consultants built the production environment. You would think Microsoft (since they blow their marketing horn about how Crystal Reports works with GP) or Business Objects would have the user and odbc setup for this documented.
    Ok...so I'm a bit delusional....

  • SQL 2005 & 2012

    We have a server with SQL 2005 on it.  We just installed SQL 2012.  When I look in the services there is also an instance called SQLEXPRESS.  When I go into the control panel to uninstall a program I do not see any SQL Express installed. 
    I have stopped the SQL express instance and am trying to start the SQL 2005 and SQL 2012 instances at the same time.  We need the 2005 to be started to be able to look at the current system and 2012 needs to be started at the same time as we are
    trying to redo the system in SQL 2012.  Does anyone know why we can not start both instances at once.  If one is running and I try and start the other instance I get "Windows could not start the SQL Server (MSSQL2012) on Local Computer. 
    For more information, review the System Event log.  If this is a non-Microsoft service, contact the service vendory, and refer to service-specific error code 10048."  When I look in the System event log I see the following "The SQL Server
    (MSSQL2012) service terminated with service-specific error Only one usage of each socket address (protocol/network addres/sport) is normally permitted."  Can anyone give me some information as to what the problem may be.  Thanks in advance.

    I have previously tried stopping 2005 and 2012 and starting one before the other, while rebooting the server in between.  However, I always got the same error regardless of which SQL was started first.
    Thanks for the information/link.  I stopped all SQL, started 2012, and then tried to start 2005 using the link you provided.
    Most of it appears to be OK until I get near the end of the output and then I see the following errors:

    SQL Server could not spawn FRunCM thread.  Check the SQL Server error log and the Windows event logs for information about possible related problems.
    In looked in the event logs I see the errors above and a warning (at the same time stamp) that says: "MSDTC encountered an erro (HR=0x80000171) while attempting to establish a secure connection with system".
    In looking in the event log for SQL 2012 (since 2005 is not running) I do not see any errors.

  • SQL 2005 cluster rejects SQL logins when in failed over state

    When SQL 2005 SP4 on Windows 2003 server cluster is failed over from Server_A to Server_B, it rejects all SQL Server logins. domain logins are OK. The message is "user is not associated with a trusted server connection", then the IP of the
    client. This is error 18452. Anyone know how to fix this? They should work fine from both servers. We think this started just after installing SP4.
    DaveK

    Hello,
    The connection string is good, you're definitely using sql auth.
    LoginMode on Server_B is REG_DWORD 0x00000001 (1) LoginMode on Server_A is REG_DWORD 0x00000002 (2) Looks like you are on to something. I will schedule another test failover. I assume a 2 is mixed mode? If so, why would SQL allow two different modes
    on each side of a cluster?
    You definitely have a registry replication issue, or at the very least a registry that isn't in sync with the cluster. This could happen for various reasons, none of which we'll probably find out about now, but never the less...
    A good test would be to set it to windows only on Node A, wait a minute and then set it to Windows Auth and see if that replicates the registry setting across nodes correctly - this is actually the windows level and doesn't have anything to do with SQL Server.
    SQL Server reads this value from the registry and it is not stored inside any databases (read, nothing stored in the master database) as such it's a per machine setting. Since it's not set correctly on Node B, when SQL server starts up it correctly reads
    that registry key and acts on it as it should. The culprit isn't SQL Server, it's Windows Clustering.
    Hopefully this makes a little more sense now. You can actually just edit the registry setting to match Node A and fail over to B, everything should work correctly. It doesn't help you with a root cause analysis which definitely needs to be done as who knows
    what else may not be correctly in sync.

  • IPC 4.0 Standalone with SQL 2005 Express as a database

    Hello,
    I am trying to setup IPC 4.0 standalone up for a training class on a XP laptop with SQL 2005 Express as the database.  I keep getting login errors connecting the IPC admin.bat tool to the sql database.  And yes, I know this is not 'officially' supported by SAP, but I see no technical reason why it shouldn't work and yes my port is correct.  My entries are as such:
    Alias: 00_230
    Server: localhost
    System: Microsoft SQL Server
    Database Name: 00_230
    port: 1433
    User: ipc
    password: hidden
    client: 230
    Is everything I entered correct?  Am I missing anything that I need?
    Thanks!

    Hi Jeff.
    You will probably have problems with the database subsystem, when you upgrade to UccX7.0.1 if the 3rd party database is af SQL2k5 server.
    There is a fix for that problem, check below :
    Upgrading UCCX to 7.0(1)Sr4 is failing ODBC connection to SQL 2005.
    Symptom:
    Upgrading the UCCX server to 7.0(1) Sr4 and OS to 2003.1.4a SR11 is failing the ODBC connection to SQL 2005 external database.  (also a problem in new installations)
    The error generated when trying to setup a ODBC connection to SQL 2005 database is
    ======
    [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][DBNETLIB]SQL Server does not exist or access denied.
    =======
    Conditions:
    Upgrade to UCCX 7.0(1) Sr3 or 4 and OS upgrade to 2003.1.4a SR11
    Workaround:
    Work around:
    a) In UCCX SQL Server 2000 - Start the Client Network Utility.  (cliconfg.exe is used from MSDE versions of UccX)
    b) On the General tab, add TCP/IP in the list under Enabled protocols by order. (make sure its first)
    c) Click the Alias tab, and then click Add. Under Network libraries, select TCP/IP.
    d) In the Server name text box, type the IP address of the server that is running SQL Server
    2005.
    Note:
    If port other that 1433 is being used Click the check box to clear the Dynamically determine port option, and then type the port number of the instance of SQL Server 2005 in the Port number text box.

    What's strange is that the following SQL statement works fine. The only difference between table ItemHistory (above) and ItemsOut (below) is that ItemHistory adds 3 columns that ItemsOut does not have. Other than that table the SQL statements are the same (as you can see).
    SELECT Inv.AreaNo, Inv.CatType, Inv.CatNo, Inv.ItemNo, Inv.NumAvail, Inv.NumTotal, Inv.Active,
    IO.AID, IO.NumOut, IO.DateOut, IO.WorkerOut, '1' AS NumIn, '1/1/1900' AS DateIn, '1' AS WorkerIn,
    CC.CatID, CC.CatName, CC.BinItem, CC.Active, OG.LASTNAME, OG.FIRSTNAME, OG.MIDDLENAME
    FROM ItemInventory AS Inv
    LEFT JOIN CatCodes AS CC ON Inv.AreaNo = CC.AreaNo AND Inv.CatType = CC.CatType AND Inv.CatNo = CC.CatNo
    LEFT JOIN ItemsOut AS IO ON Inv.AreaNo = IO.AreaNo AND
    Inv.CatType = IO.CatType AND Inv.CatNo = IO.CatNo AND
    Inv.ItemNo = IO.ItemNo
    LEFT JOIN OGL..D.LE AS OG ON AID = OG.PK
    WHERE Inv.AreaNo = 0 AND Inv.CatType = 0
    As a test I tried just running an SQL statement against ItemsHistory and the Oracle table, thinking it might be something with ItemsHistory, but the following command also runs just fine:
    SELECT ItemHistory.*, OG.LASTNAME, OG.FIRSTNAME, OG.MIDDLENAME
    FROM ItemHISTORY
    LEFT JOIN OGL..D.LE AS OG ON AID = OG.PK
    I'm not sure why the one SQL statement is erroring out with ORA-01403. I see no problems with it, as it is the same as the one that works except using a different table, and another SQL statement using the table in the erroring SQL works also. I'm stumped!
    I am using the 'OraOLEDB.Oracle' provider in SQL 2005.
    Thanks for any help you can give on this...

    I've been testing it, and I've found that if I comment out 4 fields from the field list (all from the same table), it runs. As soon as I add any one of the 4 fields back into the select list, I get the Oracle error. I also found that I had to change the Oracle table from a LEFT JOIN to just a JOIN, or else I also get the Oracle error.
    Here is the SQL (same as the previous post) with the 4 fields commented out, and the modified JOIN. Maybe that will give someone an idea, because it has me puzzled...
    SELECT Inv.AreaNo, Inv.CatType, Inv.CatNo, Inv.ItemNo, Inv.NumAvail, Inv.NumTotal, Inv.Active,
    IO.AID, IO.NumOut, IO.DateOut, IO.WorkerOut, IO.NumIn, IO.DateIn, IO.WorkerIn,
    OG.LASTNAME, OG.FIRSTNAME, OG.MIDDLENAME
    --, CC.CatID, CC.CatName, CC.BinItem, CC.Active
    FROM ItemInventory AS Inv
    LEFT JOIN CatCodes AS CC ON Inv.AreaNo = CC.AreaNo AND Inv.CatType = CC.CatType AND Inv.CatNo = CC.CatNo
    LEFT JOIN ItemHistory AS IO ON Inv.AreaNo = IO.AreaNo AND Inv.CatType = IO.CatType AND Inv.CatNo = IO.CatNo AND
    Inv.ItemNo = IO.ItemNo
    JOIN OGL..D.LE AS OG ON AID = OG.PK
    WHERE Inv.AreaNo = 0 AND Inv.CatType = 0
