  • RE: Checking for installed versions of SQL Server

    I'm pretty sure SSMS reads from the Windows Registry when it gets the local instance names. Would that be easier?

    It's under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE.SOFTWARE.Microsoft.Microsoft SQL Server.Instance Name.SQL.

    I seem to remember that...

  • RE: Windows Group

    Should be possible. All they'd have to do is download a free copy of Management Studio Express, and connect to the server using Windows authentication.

    Any particular reason this has to be done via stored procedures? SSIS would be easier.

  • RE: SSIS to move data from SQL 2000 to SQL 2008

    It depends on what you want to do with the data. If it's a straight table-to-table copy, with the same structures, then this should be quite easy to do.

    You...

  • RE: Automated deployments to production SQL Server instances. Do you allow this?

    I review the code and deploy it, or send it back for refactoring if it doesn't pass review.

  • RE: Job failed - [298] SQLServer Error: 15404

    If it literally has "domain\domain user", then that's probably the problem right there.

    Otherwise, it's either not finding the specific group/account, or having trouble connecting the the specified domain server.
