QFE 859

We are attempting to install SQL Reporting Services using a network service
account for the ReportServer service. This configuration will fail without
installing QFE 859. There is allegedly a hotfix installer which will apply
the necessary hotfix, but the Microsoft KB articles go in circles without
ever offering a download.
Does anyone know where to download this hotfix and/or why Microsoft has
chosen to hide it so carefully?
The links I'm directed to are: http://support.microsoft.com/?id=821334 and
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/330391/I noticed this myself awhile back. I think what has happened is that they
pulled it because SP4 was out. SP4 is cumulative so it should work for you
(of course SP4 has a problem that requires a hotfix if you have more than 2
Gig of RAM and AWE enabled).

Unfortunately, we're not ready to go down the SP4 road yet. It boggles the
mind that a hotfix would be pulled when there are so many different
configurations out there.
I suppose we'll have to use a domain account if the original hotfix file
really is unavailable.
Any other suggestions are appreciated.

should not need the hotfix. If you do not want to install SP1 then I would
think you need to contact support to get the hotfix.

by having a Microsoft Partner call in to get it. I believe it took him about
five phone calls.
We started with the 800 number for partner support and went from there.
Make sure you have details available when you call in. I assume the regular
support number should get you there, and since a hotfix will solve your
problem, there should be no charge for the call (I think). Have KB article#
references from my original post, your SQL license and patch level, your
Server versions, etc. all at your fingertips when you call.
I've pasted part of the link they sent us for the patch below which might
help MS support figure out what you want. It has an expiring password on
it, so it won't help you to d/l it now... They also hinted that the patch
was customized to particular environments, and that they had to "configure"
it for us.
It was a little difficult to get them to realize what patch we wanted until
they finally transferred us to the SQL group.
"Bug470536/873/free/150452_ENU_i386_zip.exe"
Hope this helps, and good luck!

to verify with Microsoft which version you need.
The two files are called:
SQL2000-KB810185-8.00.0873-ENU.exe
SQL2000-KB884856-v8.00.0977-x86-ENU.exe
Those embedded KB articles should be of help when calling, too.

the issue.

Q: SP4

Hello,
I just installed SQL Server 2000, I noticed that there is SP4, do I need to
install SP3 and then SP4 or I just directly jump to SP4 without installing

If you took the time to read a few lines about SP4 on
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=8E2DFC8D-C20E-4446-99A9-B7F0213F8BC5&displaylang=en
, you'd see -
"SP4 is a cumulative Service Pack containing all of the fixes from
previous service packs, including MS03-031 security bulletin."
It would have taken you less time than going to this newsgroup and post
the question.

Q: RS2000 what OS?

Hello,
Can I install reporting services in a XP Pro, or windows 2000. We have SQL
Server 2000 installed on XP Pro, I was trying to install RS2000 and I got a
message it sais OS should be a server. Does that mean RS2000 can only be
installed on a server? Can I install RS2000 on a windows 2000 machine?PiBDYW4gSSBpbnN0YWxsIHJlcG9ydGluZyBzZXJ2aWNlcyBpbiBhIFhQIFBybywgb3Igd2luZG93

Q: RS on XP

Hello,

I have SQL Server 2000 installed on my Windows XP, can I install Reporting Services to this machine? If yes, where can I get it?

Thanks,

No you can't install SRS Server on an XP machine. You could fiind more info onhttp://www.microsoft.com/sql/reporting/default.mspx
|||

Thank you for the reply. I could not really locate it, can you tell me the exact URL that tells we can not install it to XP. I need to send it to my manager.

Thanks,

|||http://www.microsoft.com/sql/reporting/productinfo/sysreqs.mspx
The above url won't show you how to install SRS it will just show your manager that you can't install the server componets on an XP box. You can only install the development edition as per the URL above.|||

Is there anyway I can download the developer edition on the internet? I think the trial RS version is Enterprise, I have SQL Server license what should I do to get RS Developer if it is not in the internet?
Thanks for your help.

|||

Unfortuneatly I don't know of any site where you can download developer edition of RS. You should be able to install the development part of Enterprise SRS on your XP machine. However you won't be able to host SRS reports, for this you'll need a server OS.
