The strangest thing started happening. It had been a while since I had been in this SQL server, I opened Enterprise Manager, chose the database I needed, right clicked, chose properties and Enterprise Manager closed. I tried all the other databases with same results.

SQL 2000 on an W2003 Server


I am not sure where to even start.

Have you installed service pack 4 on your client machine? Service packs should be installed on the clients as well as servers as service packs often contains fixes for the client tools (which Enterprise Manager is).

SQL 2000 SP3, Ent Man 8.0

It was all working fine the last time I checked them. As far I know nothing has been added or changed (service pack wise).

I found a simular post: http://www.sqlteam.com/forums/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=57576

It addresses the same exact Error message without a solution.

Error: 15457, Serverity: 0, State: 1
Configuration option 'show advanced options' changed from 1 to 1. Run the RECONFIGURE statement to install.....

So the question then becomes "How to run the RECONFIGURE" statement?
Is it just running "reconfigure" in QA? or is there more to the command?

Error 15457 just means that someone changed a configuration option using sp_configure. That error isn't what is causing your Enterprise Manager problems. 14547 isn't really an error.

But yes you just run RECONFIGURE in Query Analyzer for the changes to take effect (only works for certain options though). You could also restart the SQL Server service or reboot the box.
