Received an email from a user who said they couldn't see any of the (many) databases from Enterprise Manager. I logged into my Enterprise Manager and sure enough, I couldn't see any databases either, and as it turns out, no one can. Yes, I've tried re-registering them, but they still don't appear.However, from Query Analyzer, the databases appear in the dropdown list and I can run queries against them without errors. I've also checked the event log on the server and there are no obvious SQL-related errors.Any ideas what could be causing this and how to fix?Thanks!Dale |

To me, it sounds like a network issue. Does EM still work on the server locally? |

Enterprise Manager on the local server doesn't show any databases either, and the SPs are all the same. |

zWhere does EM go to get the "list" perhaps that particular database or table is FUBAR. |

Is the database on a shared drive? If so check whether the share is intact. |

If that's the case, you'll see dbs in suspect status. By the way, did you connect to sql as sysadmin? |
