| I just installed SQL Server 2008 Express with Advanced Services. I want to enable FILESTREAM so I can install the AdventureWorks sample database. The instructions at this page: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc645923.aspx say:"On the Start menu, point to All Programs, point to Microsoft SQL Server 2008, point to Configuration Tools, and then click SQL Server Configuration Manager."When I open SQL Server Configuration Manager I get an error message: "MMC could not create the snap in, the snap in might not have been installed correctly. Name: SQL Server Configuration Manager." Then it gives me a CLSID.On this page: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms174212.aspx it says: "Microsoft Management Console (mmc.exe) uses the SQLServerManager10.msc file in the Windows System32 folder to open SQL Server Configuration Manager."I looked in the System32 folder and, sure enough, the file SQLServerManager10.msc is in there. It's XML inside the file. Please help. I really need to get this SQL Server Configuration Manager working so I can enable FILESTREAM data and install the database. I appreciate any help you can give.--goldenthroat |

| I am no expert by any means but it looks as if your install did not go that great. Did you try to uninstall and try reinstalling? |

| Thanks for the suggestion. I'm beginning to think that that is exactly what I need to do. I managed to get it installed correctly at home, and it turns out there's an option in the installation program that I missed previously to enable FILESTREAM during the installation. I was hoping I wouldn't have to do that, but it looks like I will. I see you are also, like me, a starting member. How has your impression been of this forum so far?Thanks,Goldenthroat |
