[dba-SQLServer] Can't Register Server - FINALLY

Hi Charlotte:

Now I wonder what you did or did not do differently? I still have a server
that when SQL2000 is installed and it runs super-slow. It all works but 2
minutes between refreshes is too painful. Installed on another server it is
working fine so have just abandoned the other one. (Mind you at $375.00 from
M$, a helpdesk call could resolve it all..., yeh.)

I am very glad to hear you have everything up and running. :-)

Jim

Well, after 3 uninstalls and reinstalls, SQL Server finally allowed me
to register a server!  That pounding you heard last night was my head
beating on the wall. :-{  I could get EM up and I could even get QA up,
although of course neither of them really worked since they couldn't
connect to an active server, but I couldn't register a server until that
last install.  Nothing changed in between except my frustration level
and the name of the server, but suddenly there it was.

MDAC is 2.7 and has been since 2.7 came out.  I've kept it upgraded
until 2.7.  I won't put 2.8 on until I install the VB.Net stuff.  It
comes up as NEWBOOK.

Charlotte,
  Please humor me for a bit, what MDAC is currently isntalled on your
system? you can download the component checker from MS, then just run it

and it'll tell you you're running either 2.5 - 2.8

I have found that MDAC 2.6 SP1 is generally the best combo of all,
although 2.7 is good too.
also you probably have a server icon in your system tray, what name does

it say for your local server?
