DMO FAQ

Q: Is SQL-DMO still supported with SQL Server 2005?
A: Yes, SQL-DMO will be fully supported (albeit officially deprecated), however it will not be able to make use of any new SQL Server 2005 features. SQL-DMO will be available through a special 'backward compatibility redist' (filename = SQLServer2005_BC.msi) that will contain various other components besides SQL-DMO. Just to clarify: if you do not update SQL-DMO (7.0 or 2000) then you cannot connect to SQL Server 2005. The DMO Redist can be downloaded here: https://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=D09C1D60-A13C-4479-9B91-9E8B9D835CDC.

Q: When I connect to SQL Server 2005 with SQL-DMO I receive the following message: "To connect to this server you must use SQL Server Management Studio or SQL Server Management Objects (SMO).". What causes this?
A: You may be running an older CTP. Try the June CTP (or a later version if that's already available). It may also be the case that your client has not SQL-DMO installed. Also if SQL Server 2000 or an ISV application is installed it may overwrite the DMO registration. In that case you need to reregister the SQL Server 2005 DMO version (using regsvr32).

    An SQL 2005 Beta tester claimed that SQL Server 2000 and SQL Server 2005 could not be deployed on the same machine "because SQL-DMO has been replaced with SQL-SMO..."

    I'm relatively new to these tools, and haven't a clue as to what these acroynms stand for. Could you explain what they are, what their functionality is, and if the quoted statement is true?

    Has anyone regression tested the DMO backwards compatiblility with each SQL 2005 release.  I am on 9.00.2047 with the correct version of BC installed.  There are several methods and properties in the replication objects that do return an error or valid results.  It is like the data types have changed or the methods and properties are not working anymore.  

    For example, the TransPublication dmo object.

    We receive some information from the TransSubscription object, but not the DistributionJobID.

    We get the correct subscriber count, article count, publiser name, subscriber server and subscriber databasename.



    The DistributionJobID is all zeros, (00000000000000000000000000000000).

    I am able to connect to SQL2005 servers using this DMO object. Though it appears RegisteredServers is locked out of containing SQL2005 servers. What does that mean ? Enterprise Manager will not allow a SQL2005 system. So any DMO applications using RegisteredServers should be rewritten for SMO. Though if you have another source for your connection information then the above examples will work. Thats what I have discovered. 'This code works.        Dim oSQLServer As SQLDMO.SQLServer        Dim oQueryResult As SQLDMO.QueryResults        oSQLServer = New SQLDMO.SQLServer        oSQLServer.LoginTimeout = 15        ' use trusted connection        oSQLServer.LoginSecure = True        ' ignore sa if using trusted connection        oSQLServer.Connect("YourSQL2005Server", "sa", vbNullString)        oQueryResult = oSQLServer.ExecuteWithResults _            ("select convert(varchar(30),SERVERPROPERTY('ProductVersion')) +' : ' + convert(varchar(30),@@servername)")        MsgBox("(Version : @@Servername ) " & oQueryResult.GetColumnString(1, 1))

    Hi, is it legal to use SQL-DMO with SQL Express 2005 ? Best regards, Misiek

    I have SQL 2005 client tools on my PC that I use (Enterprise Manager to access the SQL 2005 server on a different PC). I tried to install SQL Express 2005 and Enterprise Manager won't work with it. Visual Studio won't work with it.  It says I have to use "DMO".  I installed the SQL-BC.MSI for 'backwards compatibility' but it refused to install (it's an older version?). My recommendation: Skip Express 2005 if you already have SQL 2005 client tools.  What you want is SQL Personal edition (costs money, but hey at least it works).
