MSDE access over network slow for XP workstations, not Win2K
application on multiple workstations.
These workstations are either Win2000 Pro or WinXP Pro (both SP1 and SP2).
All workstations can access and ping the server under 1MS.
When the client application opens and reads data from the database server,
it takes a short time for this to be performed on the Win2000 Pro machines,
but all the XP machines take an abnormally long time to connect and to
retrieve the data.
The XP's do connect, but the retrieval is very slow, sometimes it timesout
during a retrieval.
This occurs even when nobody is connected to the database, so I've ruled out
the governer.
I'm using ADO to connect and all PC's have MDAC 2.7 or greater.
The install process only installed MDAC 2.7 if the current version is before
that.
Anybody have an idea what might be the problem?
All responses are welcome.
TIA

Hi Jim,
Name resolution problems perhaps? Try connecting to the IP address instead
of the server name to find out.

I have connected using the IP in other apps, but that was to the default
instance.
Since I have a named instance in this case, how would I format the IP and
instance?
Ex: default instance installed on server SERVER1, I can substitute the IP
for SERVER1
for named instance SERVER1/DB1, how would I format the IP? IP#/DB1 ?
Thanks!

|||Hi Jim,
I'd suggest setting a fixed port for the named instance, then just connect
to that port. Even set up an alias on the client boxes that knows about the
port. It would completely avoid the sql browser function that essentially
just maps your instance name to a port anyway. To do that:
1. Open svrnetcn.exe and for the named instance, uncheck the "dynamic port"
box and select your own port (ie 38474 or something).
2. Restart the instance.
3. On the client, run cliconfg.exe and set up an alias pointing to that port
on the server.

MSDE 2000: Authentication failed despite BLANKSAPWD
We're having troubles on a Windows 2003 Server. MSDE 1.0 does not
install (even though we already have this setup at other customers).
So I downloaded MSDE 2000. Unfortunately, somebody else just executed the
installation procedure without setup-parameters. I wanted to have an empty
password (I know, I know. But it is a closed system) and I need SQL
security mode and network protocols.
Thus I uninstalled MSDE 2000 again and launched setup.exe this way:
setup DISABLENETWORKPROTOCOLS=0 SECURITYMODE=SQL BLANKSAPWD=1
The installation went fine and I did *no* receive the error about the
trusted connections. However, I received "Authentication for user sa
failed" when simply doing this
osql -Usa -P -dmaster
Any clues?

The only thing that I can tell you is that the MSDE instance accepts the
administrator password as sa password...So the problem is solved but not
the circumstances that produced this setup.

MSDE 2000 SP3 fails to install
message I get is "MSDE 200 SP3 installation failed with exit code 1603" and
“A strong password is required for security reasons. Please use SAPWD switch
to supply the same. Refer to read me for more details. Setup will now exit.”
I have come across this once before and removed the server from the domain,
in this case that is not an option. I have denied the read right to the
default domain policy which is the only policy that is applying. Anybody have
any ideas on how I can install this.

as indicated by the error description, you have to provide a strong password
for "sa" login as a parameter, in the form of
c:\...\>setup.exe ... SAPWD="your strong password" ...
all available parameters for the setup.exe bootstrap installer are provided
at
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...stsql_84xl.asp
or, if you really are sure (please don't) you do not need a strong sa
password, you have to provide the
BLANKSAPWD=1
parameter

I must admit that I don't know the difference between MSDE Release A and
MSDE SP3a. There is no clear information on the MS site (or at least I
couldn't find it), but the download sizes are different, so the obvious
conclusion is that they are different versions. If this assumption is
correct, then you might be seeing this issue:
http://support.microsoft.com/defaul...010&Product=sql
However, I could be wrong, so perhaps you can check some more things. Can
you actually connect to the instance on H using a local osql.exe command
also on H? If you're logged on to Windows as an administrator, then this
should be enough:
osql -S H\ABC -E
If that works, then presumably the problem is the Service Manager itself
(possibly as described in the article above). If you can connect, you can
then check the version with this query:
1> select @.@.version
2> go
If you don't see version 8.00.760, then you don't have SP3a, so I would

instances of SQL Server" in this article:

If you cannot connect with osql.exe, then what error message do you get? In
the final analysis, however, I would suggest that Server Manager is a small,
unimportant component which probably is not worth worrying about. As long as
MSDE is running and you can connect from client applications with no
problems, then I would not spend too much time trying to make it work.
Regarding connecting from a different PC (with Access or any other tool),
there are a number of possible connection issues:

I guess when you say "peer" you mean that the PCs are in a workgroup, not a
domain. If this is the case, then trusted connections can be awkward - the
article above has a link to another KB article which describes a possible
workaround. Mixed security using SQL logins should work fine, but is not
generally recommended unless there is no other alternative.

| I must admit that I don't know the difference between MSDE Release A and

Hi Mark,
There is known bug when reinstalling with same instance name.
Follow the instructions for editing the registry keys given in
the article at:
http://support.microsoft.com/defaul...kb;en-us;823467
If that fails then you will have to uninstall MSDE 2000 Release A
and follow the instructions for editing the registry keys given in
the article at:
http://support.microsoft.com/defaul...kb;en-us;320873
Then reinstall MSDE 2000 Release A
Hope this helps.

This article applies to MSDE Service pack . I have installed MSDE
2000A which includes Service Pack 3. The symptoms don't and conditions
don't apply, nor do the workaround instructions make sense.

This works. But the SQL Server *is* running - we knew that.

You are correct, the two computers are not in a domain and so there is
no user authentication provided by a domain server. Thanks for the
link I will look it up.
The Server Manager is only important in that its a good first
indication that everything is working at the local computer - an
encouraging first sign, insofar as the client computer cannot connect
to the server.

I am also working on the problem of fixing ports used by the SQL
Server. The instance now installed is named and so uses dynamic ports
rather than the fixed 1433 and 1434 ports. The question is: what does
the SQL Server Manager use?|||I think you are correct. I need to uninstall MSDE2000A and then fix up
the registry or re-install windows 2000. I have already uninstalled
the old default version that came with MS office. I have also
installed the MSDE2000A version several times.
I have never checked the MDAC version (don't know how), but that may
also be a problem.
I need to try these and then request more help.
Many thanks.

MSDE 2000 Release A and Windows Installer
Previous versions of the MSDE install included merge modules (.msm files) that could be incorporated straight into a Windows Installer .msi file. However, the latest version (Release A) does not include the merge modules, and to top that, also states tha
t "Desktop Engine does not support nested installations. You must not call an .msi file from within another .msi file".
My questions are:
- How are we supposed to install MSDE when we are distributing .msi files? We need .msi functionality for other components of our install, so using a non-Windows Installer technology is not an option. Do we need to ask our users to install MSDE separat
ely (ouch)?
- Why did the merge modules disappear? I thought that these were the Microsoft-sanctioned method for installing runtime components...
- Are there any other options - we want to distribute a single file, and we really don't want to have to mix and match .msi and other setup technologies...
Marc Durdin
Software for Specialists
Hi Andy,
Thanks for the comment. However, this page is not up to date. It recommends using the merge modules... which are not supported any more by Microsoft (and are not even included in the latest release of MSDE). Any other suggestions?

Hi,
I have found the following KB article that describes a similar scenario.
http://support.microsoft.com/default...&Product=sql2k
#appliesto
================================================== ==========================
================================================== =========
BUG: The SQL Server 2000 Service Manager Utility Does Not List Instances
That Have Not Enabled Network Connections
View products that this article applies to.
BUG #: 363267 (SHILOH_BUGS)
SYMPTOMS
If you configure an instance of SQL Server 2000 or SQL Server 2000 Desktop
Engine (also known as MSDE 2000) to disallow network connections, that
instance will not appear in the SQL Server 2000 Service Manager utility.
CAUSE
The SQL Server ODBC driver does not return instance names to the SQL
Service Manager if the instance does not support network connections.
WORKAROUND
To work around this behavior, stop and then start the service for the
instance by following these steps:
Right-click My Computer, and then click Manage.
Double-click Services and Applications in the left-hand screen.
Double-click Services.
Right-click the service for the instance of SQL Server. The name of the
service for a default instance of SQL Server 2000 is MSSQLServer. The name
of the service for a named instance of SQL Server 2000 is
MSSQL$instancename.
Click the action that you want applied to the instance, such as stop or
start.

AFAIK the Server Network Utility writes all the necessary registry entries
to perform the network protocols changes.. you should be able to do the same
"simply" assigning the
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\MSSQLServer\MSSQLServer\Su perSocketNetLib
ProtocolList = ....

MSDE 2000 installation on Windows 98 SE
I have Installed MSDE 2000 on Windows 98 SE box After REBOOT MSDE
service is running.
I am not able to connect to the MSDE in WIndows Authentication mode
while using Login ( sa ) / password the connectivity is done.
My GUI uses the MSDE connection in "Windows Authentication Mode" which
is working fine with the 2K/XP but not with 98SE/ME.
The MSDE Readme.txt says that on 98 / ME the default Connectivity mode
is "Windows Authentication" BUT its not working in that way.
I have tried SECURITYMODE=SQL as command line to setup.exe as well but
results are same.
Any clue to run it in WMA Mode on Win98SE/ME ?
thanks
kapil
Hi Kaps,
Win98 doesn't provide the infrastructure that MSDE needs to use Windows
Authentication. You will need to use SQL Server authentication and specify
an password for sa (SAPWD) while installing it.

MSDE 2000 installation fails on Windows Vista 64-bit
Installation of MSDE 2000 fails on 64-bit Windows Vista (Build 5308).
The error message is "Setup failed to configure the server.Please refer the error logs for more information". No error log can be found on the machine at the time of installation. Please let me know if anyone else has encountered this problem?
Is it possible to install MSDE 2000 on 64-bit Windows Vista(Build 5308)?
Thanks in advance.
I don't believe any version of SQL Server or MSDE prior to SQL Server 2005 is supported on Vista. Someone else on the team who works on SQL Server 2000 should reply with a definitive answer...

MSDE 2000 Install Problem
I am trying to install MSDE 2000 sp3 on a Windows XP that has had a previous
installation in the past. The previous installation has been removed, but
when I try installing MSDE again from the command prompt, it starts to set
up the gives me an error saying installation failed.
I have deleted the Microsoft SQL Server directory from Program Files,
cleaned out all registry entries for the instance name and have run the
install using the following command:
Setup.exe /qb+ INSTANCENAME=VSDOTNET DISABLENETWORKPROTOCOLS=1
SAPWD=<password>
Obviously replacing <password> with an appropriate password.
Are there any other known issues that anyone knows that will get this
installation working? Any advice would be appreciated.
Regards
Jason
hi Jason,
please add the
/L*v 'c:\...\log.txt'
parameter, in order to get a 2mb log file for the installation, where you
can search for
"value 3"
as error indication

MSDE 2000 Install - setup.ini
So far I have included the following parameters in the setup.ini file -
SAPWD=<my own SA password>
SECURITYMODE=SQL
COLLATION=SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS
My next test is to connect to a database on the laptop from my desktop (via my LAN) using SQL Server 2000 Enterprise Manager and/or Query Analyser.
The problem is that although I can 'see' my laptop (ping/My Network Places etc.), I can not see the MSDE installation hense my database on the laptop. The message I get is '[Microsoft]ODBC SQL server driver [DBNETLIB] SQL Server does not exist or access denied'
Have I missed a parameter i.e. do I need to set up a parameter to ensure I can connect to the installation from remote?
Being new to installing MSDE, are there any other parameters I have missed?
Ian
p.s. Anyone know of a simple to follow install instruction set for MSDE 2000 which shows what parameters can be set upSolved the problem myself.
With Service Pack 3, msde has added a new parameter to the install = DISABLENETWORKPROTOCOLS. This parameter is defaulted to 1 which blocks remote access to the database. By adding the parameter with a value of 0 to the setup.ini file I can now connect from remote.

MSDE 2000 behind WSUS server
I'm a network / server guy at heart who has been given a quasi-DBA hat
to wear lately, so bear with me.
I have a WSUS (localized Windows updates) server that uses MSDE 2000
as its back end. Since last weekend I started to get an error that
points to a database problem. For the curious, read this:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/910847
I am disgusted that I cannot go somewhere to download the hotfix, but
rather, I have to call and ask for it. And hope to not get charged for
the call. So, what I'm looking for are utilities that will allow me to
peek inside the database and try to do some cleanup. I'm not finding
much.
I found some command line utilities buried in the directory structure,
like the query tool osql.exe, and dtsrun.exe for DTS packages. But
anything this low level quickly puts me out of my comfort zone. It
seems as though Microsoft has gone to great lengths to keep the
innards of WSUS a secret. Anybody have any ideas how to expose them?
Thanks,
Justin
what.. you want to know more about the schema?
I don't think that it's reccomended that anyone go into the schema and
change anything.. if that's what you're referring to
I know in a heartbeat a real SQL person can dig through a 100 tables in an
hour and have a clue whats going on
