| I have sql 2000 loaded on clustered servers. I tried loading a standalone instance of sql 2005 on one of them , which worked, but it messed up the client tools (EM, QA, etc) for sql 2000 on that server (the database itself is still intact). What's the simplest way to correct this? |

| I seem to remember seeing something about the DLLs getting mucked up, and a registry fix, or recopy the original DLLs or reinstall Client Tools from SQL2000 CD ... but I can't find the thread now - might be worth a bit of a Google for something along those linesKristen |

| that's probably what it is. when i select EM from the start menu, an error window pops with MMC on it, containing the text 'Snap-in failed to initialize. Name: not available - CLSID {long string of numbers/letters in brackets}'. When i click OK on this window, EM comes up, but it's pretty much an empty shell(doesn't have the sql servers, won't let you register new ones, doesn't have the regular options...file, tools, etc). |
