Error:

TITLE: Object Explorer
------------------------------

SQL Server 2000 DTS Designer components are required to edit DTS packages. Install the special Web download, "SQL Server 2000 DTS Designer Components" to use this feature. (Microsoft.SqlServer.DtsObjectExplorerUI)

------------------------------
BUTTONS:

OK
------------------------------

Fix: Install SQLServer2005_BC & SQLServer2005_DTS softwares from http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?displaylang=en&id=11988

If you are still not able to get it working. Please follow the below steps:

The issue was with PATH environment variable setting.

After changing the order in the path setting it got resolved.



C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\80\Tools\Binn\; should appear before the

C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\100\Tools\Binn\;

Incase of 64 bit machine:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\80\Tools\Binn\;

Be sure to restart the SSMS after changing the PATH env variable

Your Current Security Settings Do Not Allow This File To Be Downloaded

Through trial and error, I found that in addition to enabling "File Download" (Tools > Internet Options > Security (tab) > Internet > Custom Level > Downloads >> File Download) you also have to Enable (or set to Prompt) these other two options:
"Launching applications and unsafe files" and
"Launching programs and files in an IFRAME" (this one is only needed if your download occurs in an IFrame),
These 2 options are found under the "Miscellaneous" subsection, on the same settings screen as the "File Download" option.

After making these changes, I was then able to download files from sites, without having to put them into the "Trusted Sites" zone.
Hope this helps/works for others.

SSIS: [Send Mail Task] Error: Either the file "FileName" does not exist or you do not have permissions to access the file.

This is because when you create the file it put a lock on the file in SSIS.
Solution: Close the file using FileStream.Close() method.

FileStream File1 = new FileStream("C:\Text1.txt", FileMode.Create);
File1.Close();

CRM : An error occurred while promoting a Microsoft CRM e-mail message

Attachment of size bigger than 8 mb are not allowed to be tracked in CRM 4.0

Work Arounds:

You need to change the
following 2 lines in your web.config file to increase the size beyond 8MB

1.

This maxRequestLength determines the size of files being attached in CRM as
well as adjusting the size in the Settings area.

2.

This second maxRequestLength line determines the size of email attachments
that can get tracked when users press track in Outlook.


Note:

Editing web.config did not resolve the issue, but when I changed the 'Maximum
file size' value in Settings>System Settings>E-Mail tab it worked.

Location of web.config: c:\INetpub\www

SQL : Database cannot be opened due to inaccessible files or insufficient memory or disk space

STEP1: identify the db status:
use master
select databaseproperty(‘db_name’,'isShutdown’)
Most of them it would return 1 in this situation
STEP2: Clear up the internal db status:
use master
alter database db_name set offline
it would return with no error in most cases
STEP3: Get detail error message:
use master
alter database db_name set online
After step3, sql server will first verify the log file, if the log file is okay, it will verify the rest of the data file(s). Most of time it is because of the file location or file properties setting. For example if it is file location issue:
alter database db_name
modify (file=’logical name’, filename=’physical name’)
go

SQL : SQL Timeout from Management Studio

I get the message - "Timeout expired. The timeout period elapsed prior to completion of the operation or the server is not responding" - when working with large tables in Management Studio.
If you change the Execution time-out you need to open a new query over a new connection:
File -> New -> Database Engine Query
Instead of changing the execution time-out through Tools -> Options you should be able to specify it when opening the first query/connection to a SQL Server in the "Connect to Database Engine" dialog box:
Options -> Execution time-out.
