Good day guys, I have one issue I'm trying to organise Merge replication between two servers 2000 and 2008. I tried two variants:
First: I made publication at Sql server 2000 and when I tried to made subscription at 2008 I received following message: "For merge publications, the version of the Subscriber must not exceed the version of the Publisher".
Second one: I made publication at Sql server 2008 and when I tried to made subscription at 2000 I received following message: "to connect this server you must use SQL server Management Studio or SQL Server Management Objects"
So could anyone give me good advice how to solve this issue ?
As stated in Using Multiple Versions of SQL Server in a Replication Topology:
For merge replication, a Subscriber to a merge publication can be any
version no later than the Publisher version.
This means you must make the SQL Server 2008 instance the Publisher and the SQL Server 2000 instance the Subscriber. Use SQL Server 2008 Management Studio to configure the topology.

I have this question about the SQL Server and SQL Server Express.
In my client machine, the database that he's using is SQL Server 2012 and in my machine i have SQL Server 2005.. so i want to install another instance and a friend told me that i dont need to install the SQL Server 2012 Standard (the one that they have) and with the SQL Server 2012 Express will work.. is that ok?
I really don't know the real difference in working with SQL Server Express 2012 and SQL Server Standard 2012 (with the same database).
On of the major differences is that with express you not be able to back ups over the network. Local backups only. When I do back ups from the SqlExpress Server Manager Studio it doesn't recognize mounted drives. Check out this for a more formal approach to your question

Check through this document:
Features supported by the editions of SQL Server 2012
You will soon be able to see if there are any features that you are using in standard that are not available in express.
I am thinking this may not be possible as standard, but can I publish replication using SQL Server 2012 Express and subscribe with SQL Server 2012 Express? I am wanting to create a fail over between 2x VM's in an Zure Availability set.
Thanks!
No. SQL Server Express cannot serve as a Distributor or Publisher. SQL Server Express can only serve as a Subscriber to Transactional, Snapshot, and Merge publications. You will need an instance of at least Standard Edition or higher to create a publication.
Replication Considerations (SQL Server Express)
SQL Server Express cannot serve as a Publisher or Distributor.
I am using SQL Server Management Studio 2005 Express to connect to one of my servers. How do I check the existing jobs in the server I am connected to and modify them?
I am logged in as admin and still can't see the required. I can see the jobs in SQL Server 2000 but not in 2005.
Any suggestion would be helpful. Thanks
May be this can be helpful for you

I had installed SQL Server 2008, but faced some complications with that. I then installed SQL Server 2005, and now installed SQL Server Management Studio for SQL Server 2005 successfully.
I am not able to connnect to the server name it suggests.
TITLE: Connect to Server
Cannot connect to POONAM-C586A95C\SQLEXPRESS.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
This version of Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio Express can only be used to connect to SQL Server 2000 and SQL Server 2005 servers. (Microsoft.SqlServer.Express.ConnectionDlg)
It doesn't show any other option of SQL Server name, though I changed the name as I remembered but for no good.
How can this be solved?
It sounds as if you're trying to connect to the 2008 instance with the 2005 SSMS. It's not clear whether you un-installed the 2008 instance.
Suggest installing the SQL Server 2008 SSMS.
Confirm/modify as needed that you're running the SQL Server instance that you require. This will show you which instances are available.
I would also check to make sure that you're connecting to the correct port. I'm come across a similar error before and the solution was to specify the port to connect to, i.e.
compname\instancename,portnum
Can't locate Local Publications folder under Replication folder in SQL Server 2005. Replication components are installed. I am using SQL Server 2005 not express edition.
I just installed SQL Server 2005 with replication compoenents and right click on Replication folder, there I can see just 3 options. 1) Update Replication Password. 2) New -> Subscription. 3)Refresh
I have also posted this question on serverfault but no response from last more than one hour so I am trying it here.
EDIT:
Express edition is also installed on this machine but I am unable to find complete options under replication in SQL Server 2005 standard edition.
Thanks.
The server is sql server 2005 standard edition but Management studio was Express. That is why I was unable to see all options.
Did you configure your server to be a publisher when you configured replication ? Maybe the replication setting configured used this server as a subscriber only.
