This server version is not supported. Only servers up to Microsoft SQL Server 2005 are supported.
Please give your suggestion
Thank You in advance
When I try to connect to database from Microsoft Visual Web Developer, I keep getting the same error message.
"This server version is not supported. You must have Microsoft SQL Server 2005 or later."
I'm currently using Microsoft SQL Server 2008, so technically I shouldn't be facing this problem at all. Is there a fix for this?
i trying to install sql server 2008 using wix3.5
i tried the below link to install .Net framework 3.5 and 4.0 its working fine.
http://wix.sourceforge.net/manual-wix3/install_dotnet.htm
<BootstrapperFile Include="SQL Server 2008 Express">
<ProductName>SQL Server 2008</ProductName>
</BootstrapperFile>
same way i trying for using the sql server 2008 installation using above code, but its not working, any idea where i done wrong.
For SQL Server 2008 Express you need to include Microsoft.Sql.Server.Express.10.0":
<BootstrapperFile Include="Microsoft.Sql.Server.Express.10.0">
<ProductName>SQL Server 2008</ProductName>
</BootstrapperFile>
Note: My example came from my installation using Visual Studio 2010 (Windows SDK 7.0a). The include is likely Microsoft.Sql.Server.Express.9.2 for VS 2008, but I have no way of verifying this right now.
I'm currently running Crystal Reports XI R2 on SQL 2000. I need to migrate to SQL Server 2008 asap, but am no longer on Crystal Support.
Can anyone tell me if CR XI R2 Server is compatible with SQL Server 2008? I Googled it but came up empty.
I'm sure you have found out by now, but it is. You have to upgrade to Service pack 6 of XI and you may also have to install the sql client for 2008. It installs a new ODBC driver for Sql Client 10.
Yes it does support sql server 2008.

The sap documentation when moving a sap backend to sql server 2008 has a great document which I have linked you to.
I am looking to manage a SQL Server 2008 DB using Management Studio 2005. The reason for this is because our server is a 64-bit machine and we only have the 64-bit version of the software.
Is this possible?
How about managing a SQL Server 2005 DB using Management Studio 2008?
UPDATE: You can use Cumulative update package 5 for SQL Server 2005 Service Pack 2 to connect to 2008.
FIX:
50002151 946127 (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/946127/) FIX: You may experience problems when you use SQL Server Management Studio in SQL Server 2005 to connect to an instance of SQL Server 2008
The other question you asked was about managing 2005 servers with SSMS 2008 - and yes, you can do that. SSMS 2008 can manage 2008, 2005, 2000. I actually recommend that everybody use the latest SSMS 2008 client regardless of what server they're connecting to, because it has some nice perks and upgrades that work with all server versions that you connect to.
Be aware that SSMS 2008 has IntelliSense, but only when you connect to a SQL 2008 server. If you connect to a 2005 server, you don't get IntelliSense.
I'm posting this to prevent people getting false hope (as I did). Where as you may be able to use SQL Server 2005 Management Studio to connect to SQL Server 2008, you cannot use SQL Server 2005 Management Studio Express. You get an explicit error message stating:
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)
Hopefully that will prevent a couple of people from wasting their time trying just-in-case.
unless I'm mistaken and things have changed, you cannot use sql server 2008 to save a backup which restores to sql server 2005. I found this out the hard way :(
