Nick Is the problem not that you have installed MSDE (which is a freebie) and not SQL Server (which is not!)?
I have only recently seen this product, but my understanding is that it does not include EM. However, I have an instance of SQL Server on our servers so already had EM from administering that. See this article for a more thorough (!) explanation of MSDE as a product http://asia.cnet.com/itmanager/tech/0,39006407,39108287,00.htm HTH Chris -----Original Message----- From: Nick de Voil [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday 18 March 2003 07:29 To: CF-Talk Subject: OT: MSDE on Office XP CD - where is Enterprise Manager? I've been trying to install MSDE on XP Pro from the Office XP Pro CD. The actual server part appears to have worked. I have some files under Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server, in 2 folders called MSSQL and 80 respectively. The readme file in MSSQL is interesting but says nothing about how to install. Under 80\Tools\Binn I found sqlmangr.exe. This is the SQL Server Service Manager and I can use it to start and stop the server. The log file looks fine. (Why 80 though?) But where is Enterprise Manager? As I understand it, this is actually a snap-in for the MMC. I have located mmc.exe on my machine but when I run it there's nothing about SQL Server in the list of available snap-ins. Under Services I have MSSQLSERVER, MSSQLServerADHelper and SQLSERVERAGENT. Any ideas?
