For one of my SQL server instance I cannot under any allowed user IDs open Surface Area Configuration.

I get this error. If I click the link I get the 'were sorry no additional information on this error'

Is this a defualt (non named) instance on a cluster? If so, then it is a known bug. I don't have the link handy.

Let me know if this is in fact the configuration. Thanks.

Are you able to use Configuration Manager? If so, what are you trying to configure using Surface Area Configuration? You should be able to do all of that through standard configuration updates via T-SQL.

Thanks for being patient.

You would think in a perfect world but after doing the command I still have the error..unsure what this blog means by the 'on servers' comment

there is no sqlmgmprovider.mof on any of my SQL 2005 installations in that folder...

Yeah, run it with the other. It can't get any more "not working" right? :)
