"SQL Server does not exist or access denied." after installing XP SP2

Hi!

I just installed Windows XP Service Pack 2 on my pc and I cannot make my asp.net applications access any database any more.

I tried starting the application up from the debugger in vs.net, but I got the same behaviour: I can open the login page but as soon as the application tries to connect to SQLServer I get the "SQL Server does not exist or access denied." error message.

I'm trying to connect with trusted_connection.

Can you guys help me out?Try this Microsoft KB article:

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?kbid=839269|||Hi TechMickey,

Did you find a solution to the problem? As you remember I have the same problem and it is still not working.|||Hi bws,

no, I just removed sp2 :-(|||So you took the drastic step. I disabled the firewall but without improvement. I will do like you, get rid of the whole sp2-thing. until I see a solution.

"Other" rdlc designer

I want to give the ability to my customers to design the reports, without
installing Vs2005 to use its designer, since they are not developers... Is
there some tool that allows me to design rdlc outside of Vs2005 ide?
Thanks in advance.RS2005 comes with Report Builder which allows users to make their own
reports. First you create a database "model" and put on the Report Server
for the users. Then users access Report Builder through Report Manager in a
Web browser. Users can save their report definitions; however, the .rdl
files from Report Builder do not seem to be interchangeable with the .rdl
files produced by Visual Studio.

Thanks, but i use rdlc files (not rdl) which are in "local processing" mode
(that is, without reporting services). So i was searching for a designer for
rdlc files, not rdl.|||rdlc files are the same thing as RS 2005 (not RS 2000) rdl files. All you
have to do is take a rdl file and rename it to rdlc. As a matter of fact,
the designer is so much better in the RS 2005 designer that I design and
test the report there (for instance it has a preview tab) and then I bring
it into my project.

Ok, but how can i give the customer (that is not a developer nor has
sqlserver 2005 or reporting services) the capability to modify the rdlc
file?|||see http://www.cizer.com/portalcsvs/DesktopDefault.aspx
that is a commercial tool without the need for Visual Studio.
Another option you have is - take the RDL specification and write your
custom program which can author RDL files triggered by user inputs or
events.

rebuild master

hi,

Edmundo J. DavilaYou find instructions for how to rebuild in Books Online:

How to: Install SQL Server 2005 from the Command Prompt
In there (towards the end) there's a sample on how to rebuild. Or are you saying that the START
command that I pasted (after adjustment) took you to add/Remove programs?
