Help - can't create or edit a Maintenance Plan

I noticed the following after changing the password for the SQL 2005 Service
Accounts.
- I could not longer edit or create Maintenance Plans.
- error returned 0x80004005 (Client unable to establish connection)
In the SQL error log I found

ThanksHi,
I was having this exact same problem, here is what resolved this issue
for me:
1. Go to C:\Documents and Settings\"sql startup account"\Application
Data\Microsoft\Crypto\RSA\S-1-5-21.....
(where "sql startup account" should be the name of your startup account
for sql server")
2 Backup and then delete any files in the S-1-5-21etcetc folder. (but
don't delete the folder)
3. Restart SQL Server.

HELP - Cannot connect to SQL Server 2005 Express

I've installed the SQL Server 2005 Express and also the MS SQL Server Management Studio 2005 Express
But when i load the latter and try to connect to my database I get the below error message.

TITLE: Connect to Server

Cannot connect to DEVCOMP\SQLEXPRESS.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:

When connecting to SQL Server 2005, this failure may be caused by the fact that under the default settings SQL Server does not allow remote connections.

Further to the above error me, I got the following when I clicked on "Surface Area Configuration for Services and Connections"

The remote connectivity is disabled by default. You can activate it using the SQL Server 2005 Surface Area Configuration SQLSAC.EXE.

If localhost is not known, then either your hosts. file is corrupt or blocked by a firewall (for any tests, deactivate the local firewall temporarily). You can use 127.0.0.1 instead of localhost.

The hosts file is located in your windows directory under

C:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts.

I have checked out the blog and performed all the steps. I have restarted the services and still no luck.

I am a newbie to webdev so started with the sample personal website. I followed the instructions to the letter but cant get past Ctrl-F5 to initialize without the error.

Where do I goto from here?

Help - Can Execute return a value?

Hello
I'm relatively new to SQL Server/T-SQL and find myself stuck with this
problem:
I need to do something like this:
Declare @.someValue NVarchar(100)
Declare @.someFunction Varchar(100)
--
-- Assign value to @.someValue from a Cursor
--
--
-- Assign name of the function to @.someFunction from a Cursor
--
Declare @.ret NVarchar(100)
Execute 'Select @.ret = ' + @.someFunc + '(''' + @.someValue + ''')'
I expect the last Execute statement to leave the return value from the
function in @.ret.
What I get is
Must declare the variable '@.ret'.
I have also tried
Execute sp_ExecuteSQL 'Select @.ret = ' + @.someFunc + '(''' +
@.someValue + ''')'
with the same result.
Any help with making this work or other ways of doing this will be very
much appreciated!
TIA.
Vamsi.Vamsi,
Use sp_executesql.
Declare @.ret NVarchar(100)
declare @.sql nvarchar(4000)
set @.sql = N'Select @.ret = ' + @.someFunc + '(''' + @.someValue + ''')'
exec sp_executesql @.sql, N'@.ret NVarchar(100) output', @.ret output
print @.ret
go

For more details on sp_executesql and dynamic SQL in general, see
an article on my web site: http://www.sommarskog.se/dynamic_sql.html.
By the way, if you are new to T-SQL, dynamic SQL is probably not where
you should start.

bookmarks :)
As for starting with dynamic SQL, I really don't have a choice :-) I
need to be able to run validations and formatting on type-less text
data that should be "interpreted" to be of datatypes defined in a
metadata repository (SQL Server tables) and satisfying validations
(reg. expressions, TSQL functions/SPs, etc) specified in the same
repository.
Running these on the app. server turned out to be way too inefficient
and cumbursome; hence the dynamic SQL. And although I'm more
experienced with PL/SQL, the powers that be insist on using SQL Server
I thank you for the input.
