Just installed 2005 Enterprise Edition on an XP Media computer... I am blown away because nothing looks familiar to me. Anyone else feel lost?
Where is the best site for specific changes from 1 version to another... it appears that Enterprise Manager is gone, Query Analyzer is gone, my brain is gone 
thx
Kat
hi kat,
install the sql management express to make things easier
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=65110.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/express/sql/download/
QA and enterprise manager is now integrated as one UI
which is called the management studio (SQL-MS). Since you are using express
you need the MS express.

|||Hi Joey,
Do you mean that I shouldn't be using the Enterprise Edition? I need to learn the reporting services that aren't in the Express Edition. I'm not sure I understand your answer.
thx,
Kat
|||Thx Much Rajesh!
Kat
|||sorry my fault. I've got a hell of a week. my pc bug-ged down so
is my brains. hahaha
i though you were using sql express. just a bit too busy these days
any way if your looking for QA and EM its no longer around.
They are now in the new UI the SQL management Studio.
and yes reporting service is only found in the enterprise version

Thanks Joey,
I'm trying to find out if anyone is running 2005 on an xp media machine. I did get the enterprise edition installed (not the db's yet but someone gave me a link to that). I also installed IIS but know nothing about configuring it. I'm lost in space... interview in 2.5 hours. I bought this machine without knowing that the xp media operating system is an upgrade from xp professional. I'll lose all the programs if I downgrade to professional and since this was a floor model, there aren't any cd's to replace those programs. Microsoft will charge me a wonderful 285 for tech support but I want to find out first if it is even going to be possible. Can you recommend a site to ask, post, whatever?
thx much!

|||hi kat,
Use the developer edition. enterprise edition works best on servers.
developer edition works better in Xp. developer edition
have the same functionallity as the enterprise except that the
are used in development environment.
good luck with your interview

SQL Server Enterprise Edition is supposed to only be installable on server operating systems. XP Media Center is a workstation operating system, so I'm surprised you could install Enterprise on it at all.
SQL Server Developer Edition is functionally equivalent to Enterprise Edition, except it can be installed on Windows XP or Windows Vista. Note that the Developer Edition license doesn't let you use the Developer Edition server for production use.
Hope this helps,
Steve
I spoke with Microsoft and they said I couldn't install 2005 on a XP media machine. I'm not sure now about the other versions. All versions of 2005 require 2000, xp, etc. Nothing is listed as working with the Media version operating system. I was told I had to upgrade to the full version of XP professional. Nice huh? Or I could get rid of all of the programs installed and bring it to another operating system. Oh well, once my XP Pro laptop is fixed, I'll probably try the Express version. I just wanted to work on the reporting services which is available only in the Enterprise Edition as far as I can tell.
