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

http://www.microsoft.com/en-in/download/details.aspx?id=25174
but I m unable to see Sql Agent Job in Sql Server 2008
Please help me

Note that SQL Server Agent is a feature only in the Enterprise, Standard, Web, Workgroup, and Datacenter editions.
However, in some situations you can use Windows scheduler to execute a task via a batch file.
It isn't there because SQL Agent is NOT part of the free Express edition. Take a look here to see what is and isn't included in the Express edition.
I have a database created on SQL Server 2008 R2 hosted on Server A. For some weird reasons, I might have to access this database from SQL Server 2005 installation on a different server.
The question is, would this be possible, can I access a 2008 R2 created database on SQL Server 2005? If yes, would there be any problems or issues that I should be expecting while doing so?
I'm a newbie to this whole SQL Server and .Net world, I might not have provided all the information that's needed here for you guys to provide an answer, so I apologize before hand. Please help me out.
You can use Cumulative update package 5 for SQL Server 2005 Service Pack 2 to connect to 2008.
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
I have downloaded SQL SERVER MANAGEMENT STUDIO but SQL SERVER AGENT is not found.
Should I install it separately?
Can anybody tell me the link where SQL SERVER AGENT is available as a Freeware to download it?
The agent is not visible if you use SQL Server Management Studio Express to connect to an SQL Server. You need to install the client tools that come with the server setup to get SQL Server Management Studio.
If you are using SQL Server Express, it has no agent.
SQL Server Agent is a service of SQL Server, not SQL Server Management Studio (which is, in and of itself, an administration tool).
Since SQL Server Agent is part of SQL Server, it's not free. You can learn about creating a job in SQL Server Agent here.
What, pray tell, are you actually trying to do?
You (or your company) will need to purchase the full version of SQL server in order to use this functionality.
The other option is to find the command-line instruction that will achieve what you want and then use Windows Task Scheduler to run the command on the schedule you want.
We have a Sql Server 2000 database application that needs to update our applications Sql Server 2008 database when certain tables are changed. For this, we use a trigger on the Sql 2000 server that fires a stored procedure on our Sql 2008 server. When trying it from SMSS, I get this message:
The operation could not be performed because the OLE DB provider 'SQLOLEDB' was unable to begin a distributed transaction.
Our application used to use a Sql Server 2005 database, but we upgraded servers this weekend. The linked server objects have the same configuration as on the old server. Here is my DTC configuration. Is there anything else that could go wrong?
dtc configuration http://yourcls.com/dtc-configuration.png
Google came up with this knowledge base article for me. From your screenshot, it looks like you've got DTC configured right (though I'm skimming, definitely double check it). Have you checked your firewall settings?
It turns out the same DTC security configuration window on our Sql 2000 server did not have any network DTC access enabled. This apparently worked just fine with our old server, but when we upgraded to Server 2008 and Sql Server 2008, this needed to be enabled on BOTH servers. It is a mystery.
