One of the points of my setup was: install SQL Server 2005.
I thought that it would be a simple task. Maybe it could take my a couple of hours to install and configure the sql server 2005 installation.
But soon, hours have transformed into days has I struggled to find out why I couldn't successfully install sql server 2005.
But I've found a solution that I want to share with you!
First I have to put you in context:
I have previously installed SQL Server 2005 Express Edition into my box.
Now I wanted to install a new instance of SQL Server 2005.
When I ran the sql server setup it gave me a warning saying that I already had a version installed.
In spite of that warning I proceeded with the installation. When the installation ended and I happily entered SQL Server Management Studio my instance version of the server was 8.0.19.
My databases were in compatibility mode 80 (Sql server 2000) and I couldn't change it to 90 (Sql server 2005).
Using EXEC sp_dbcmptlevel Tests, 90; gave me the following error:
Msg 15416, Level 16, State 1, Procedure sp_dbcmptlevel, Line 92
Usage: sp_dbcmptlevel [dbname [, compatibilitylevel]]
Valid values of database compatibility level are 60, 65, 70, or 80.
Even if I created new databases! The compatibility level 90, for SQL Server 2005, was missing from the drop down list (combo box) of the database proprieties.
I tried to use SQL Server 2005's Service Broker but with no sucess.
ALTER DATABASE [MyDB] SET ENABLE_BROKER -- Incorrect syntax near 'ENABLE_BROKER'.
The Notification Services was also missing from SQL Server Management Studio.
Now for the solution:
1. Enter command line.
2. Navigate to the drive that has the Sql server 2005 setup cd
3. Start /wait setup.exe /qb INSTANCENAME=SQL2005 ADDLOCAL=SQL_Engine SAPWD=SaPsw SQLACCOUNT=DOMAIN\Administrator SQLPASSWORD=AdminPsw AGTACCOUNT=DOMAIN\Administrator AGTPASSWORD=AdminPsw SQLBROWSERACCOUNT=DOMAIN\Administrator SQLBROWSERPASSWORD=AdminPsw SECURITYMODE=SQL
That's it!
If you want to install all components:
Start /wait setup.exe /qb INSTANCENAME=SQL2005 ADDLOCAL=ALL SAPWD=SenhaDoSA SQLACCOUNT=DOMAIN\Administrator SQLPASSWORD=AdminPsw AGTACCOUNT=DOMAIN\Administrator AGTPASSWORD=AdminPsw SQLBROWSERACCOUNT=DOMAIN\Administrator SQLBROWSERPASSWORD=AdminPsw SECURITYMODE=SQL
Don't forget to stop all services related to Sql server.
Hope it helps you install sql server 2005 with no problems!
