Hi,

finally finished evaluation and totally happy. the time has come to do the
production server install. i can find plenty of guides for installing in a
development environment but none on production ones.

The server is a clean 2003 standard edition install and on a sepearate clean
2003 standard edition i've installed sql server 2000 sp3a. Installed visual
studio 2003.net, web controls are installed, latest OS service packs (except
sp1 for 2003 server), also visual sourcesafe 6 is installed. When i come to
do the CMS install (Ent Edition) i get the CMS components and Developer Tool
s
greyed out. CMS components have the error:

SQL-DMO (from SQL SP2) or above

Any help and instructions would be good, going by the install guide in
Stefan's book so far.

Thanks,

Michael

Hi,

You should check out MCMS Field Guide -
http://www.apress.com/book/bookDisplay.html?bID=10004 for MCMS information
from an infrastructure point of view.

Thanks for that, will look into the book. Never have too many books on
something.

Any help on getting rid of that error for the time being would be good still
.

Thanks,

Michael

Hi Drazic,

you need to install the SQL client tools on the MCMS server machine.
This will ensure that you are able to install MCMS server components.
This is convered in the MCMS install help file.

Cheers,
Stefan

you need to install the SQL Client components from a MSSQL Server 2000
CDROM.

SQLDMO - is the name of some management components which are part of the SQL
client install (enterprise manager etc). These must be on each MCMS box even
if you have the actual SQL Server on a remote box.

just another example of poorly documented and confusing terminology.

the best guide for installs of prod (on win2k3) is the MSIB documentation
which you can find a link to on my site.
