Greetings! I have a server (Win 2003) with MS SQL Server 2005 (not "Express") on it as a part of my VMWare management system. I need to back up this database. It does _not_ have the "Management Suite" installed. I do not believe I have the license key for that installation, either.
I happen to have a set of SQL Server disks (2 CD, 1 DVD, one "MS Library" CD). I also have the download for SQL Server 2005 Express Management Suite. What is the least bad way to get MS management (again, just for DB backup) onto this machine? I figure the "Express" version will not work with "Full" SQL Server, right? If I were to use one of the "Full" setup disks and run "Setup", would I have the option of modifying (ie, adding Mangement Suite) to the current install and existing database? Is this reasonably safe to do? I've obviously never before run SQL Server setup before - thanks! -- Richard D. McClary Systems Administrator, Information Technology Group ASPCA® 1717 S.
