I would try running 2008 in compatibility mode as SQL Server 2005 as a test, and once it works move it back to 2008 mode.

Is anybody running ARS 7.1 against a MS SQL Server 2008 successfully? the OS is Windows 2003. This combo isn't explicitly listed in the compatibility matrix. Keen to hear if others have this specific configuration working, unfortunately upgrading to AR 7.5 isn't a runner at this time as the CS/SLA combo apps in-use aren't supported on same.
