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?
