I uninstalled my SQL Server Client Tools 2005 from my machine and after that when I went back to SQL Server 2000 Enterprise Manager, I cannot see the entire EM screen. I think the msc file has been removed or something happened to it

Details (expand)

English

SQL Server 2005 - Standard Edition

Tools

Windows XP SP2 Professional

English

Install SQL 2000 Client Tools
Register to few SQL 2000 Servers
Install SQL 2005 Client Tools
Register to few SQL 2000 Servers
Uninstall SQL Server 2005 Client Tools from Add/Remove Programs
Load the SQL 2000 Enterprise Manager and see whether you are able to see the Enterprise Manager or whether the MMC opens and provides you error that the Enterprise Manager is missing.

It distubs the enterprise manager 2000 .msc file

The SQL 2000 Client tools should not be disturbed, but it happened to me.

DSaran -

We have investigated this issue and determined at this point in SP2 that we can't take the fix. There is a simple work around - you just need to reinstall the SQL 2000 tools should take about 2 minutes.

Thank you for providing this feedback.

Please let us know if you have any questions.

Thanks,

Amy Lewis (amylewis@microsoft.com)

1. The Enterprise Manager should be displaying the list of servers, organized in the same way as it was before the uninstall
2. The Enterprise Manager was disturbed, in sense the servers registrations was not displayed and I get a blank mmc window

HI DSaran,

Thanks for recording the exact repro steps. This appears to be something that is supported. Your description of the result: "The SQL 2000 Client tools should not be disturbed" is vague.

Could you please provide screen shots of:

1: What you consider acceptable (Correct EM display)
2: What you consider to be 'disturbed'

Also include the versions of the tools involved in your scenario:
For instance SQL Server 2005 SP ? -- & Same for EM.

Thanks,

Terrence
