Relational DB/Analysis Services Configuration for multi-proc environment

Hello--

Is it possible to install/configure SQL-Server 2005 on a multi-processor machine so that the relational DB utilizes a given subset of processors while Analysis Services utilizes another subset?

Thanks,

- Paul

No, in the current version it is not possible to limit Analysis Services to a subset of the CPUs|||Although you could use OS services to do such a thing, we haven't tried it ourselves, though (you could let everyone know how it works out! )

Registry settings for service account permissions

We are trying to configure registry settings to allow sql server service to run on a service account in SQL Server 2005. The registry has changed quite a bit from SQL 2000, and we are missing a setting in the software keys that causes sql server service not to start. If we apply permissions to all of HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE, then the service starts, however company security policies do not allow this. Are there any specific keys we should look at, other than the obvious Microsoft/Microsoft SQL Server and Microsoft/MSSQL keys, in which we have already granted permissions to the service account?

Thanks,

Dave

Manually changing the service account is not a supported operation. Changing the service account should only be done via the SQL Server Configuration Manager tool. For further questions about this tool, you can use the SQL Server Tools General forum.

Thanks

Registry Permissions for on demand pull subscription

To configure an on-demand pull subscription, the domain user account used by
the SQL Server Agent service must have full control permissions on the
registry key: HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL
Server\80\Replication\Subscriptions. When I attempt to use the registry
editor to configure the permissions, the subscriptions portion of the key is
not present. I am running Win 2000 Server and SQL Server 2000. I am logged on
as an administrator, and I have sucessfully created a merge publication and a
push subcription. Any thoughts on what may be my problem? What SQL process
creates the subscriptions entry in the registery?

The subscriptions portion of the key can be filled in by using reg files,
but the preferred way of doing it is having Windows Synchronization Manager,
or the ActiveX Controls make these changes.
When you create your push (only through the procs), or you pull (procs or
wizards), ensure you select on demand pull. This will register your
subscription and make the necessary registry entries.
If you did not do this, you will have to configure your pull subcription
withing WSM.

|||Hillary, thank you for the response. I am unable to create the 'on-demand
pull' subscription due to the lack of permissions on the registry key. I
receive an 'access denied error'. I don't have the exact error info
avaialble right now. I'll review the problem on Monday and post more complete
error info.

trying to pull the subscription to.
Also the account which is doing the pulling should be in the PAL.

registration and Replicatons

Is registration of the subscriber required to configure replications.
I am configuring replications over the internet using a VPN connection
and do not want the Publisher/Distributor (Publisher and Distributor
are the same) to have the Subscriber registered. I know you can add a
subscriber using the system stored procedure but I was wondering if
registration of the subscriber was a requirement to perform
replication.
Thank you in advance for your help.
It is required.
You must register the servers in your hosts file, client configuration utility, and EM. Then you must enable your subscriber using SQL Server authentication.

Registering SQL 2005 Server Evaluation

I am looking to install and configure the SQL 2005 Evaluation. Once this is installed, can it be registered to remove the evals 180 day limit?

Thanks for any help you can offer,

Andr Brisebois

Andre,

When you're ready to move off of the Evaluation Edition you will need to upgrade to a full edition of SQL Server 2005. The supported upgrades is documented here: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms143393.aspx. Evaluation edition can be upgrade to:

SQL Server 2005 Enterprise Edition
SQL Server 2005 Developer Edition
SQL Server 2005 Standard Edition
SQL Server 2005 Workgroup Edition
SQL Server 2005 Express Edition

You'll need to perform the upgrade prior to the 180-day expiration. The upgrade process must be able to start the SQL service. Once you pass the 180-day mark the service will not start. There is still a way to upgrade post 180 days but it is much more involved.

Cheers,
Dan
