Does Sql Server 2005 Installation create a default instance?

Hello everybody!

I have recently installed Sql Server 2005 Enterprise Edition on my PC and I have noticed that it has not installed a default instance. I have tried to do this several times even in some other PC but no default instance is installed.

I can get a default instance if I install Sql Server 2000 but this is not the same I guess. Is there any way to install the default instance via Sql Server 2005?

Do you have already a SQL Server instance installed on the system ?

Are u able to install Named Instance? if not Check the OS. Enterprise Edition need Server Version of OS. Otherwise u can only install client component.

|||Well, as I mentioned before I have installed Sql Server 2005 in several computers but I can explain you some of the cases:
1. In my computer I had already installed Sql Server 2000 and I had created two other instances except the default instance (LOCAL). Then I installed Sql Server 2005.
As a matter of fact I want to make a web synchronization for a merge replication. But I can not configure the merge replication for web synchronization because the database and its instance seems to be in SQL server 2000. That's why I want an 2005 sql server instance.

2. I have also uninstalled Sql Server 2000 and all of its instances from my computer, and I have reinstalled Sql Server 2005. But no default instance was created.

3. I have also installes Sql Server 2005 in another PC which had no instace installed, but the results were the same.

What should I do?

|||Do you mean I can not create any instance if my OS is Windows XP?
|||

Yes if you are installing Enterprise Edition it will not install Services on Windows XP. You can install Standard or any other Edition

Does SQL Express support upgrade from MSDE2000 Chinese Edition?

I've tried to download the sql express and install, but it doesn't allow me to select upgrade the default instance (which i've installed msde2000 chinese edtion), it told me due to the language problem, sql express can't upgrade the default instance and only could install sql express in new instance.

I have no idea for the language edition for sql express since the download page doesn't have a language selection.

So does anyone know that,
1. would sql express have multi language edtion ?
2. if sql express would have one language edtion, how could install it to upgrade from one existing msde2000 simplified chinese edtion ?Upgrading across languages is not supported. If you want to upgrade your Chinese databases you'll need to wait until the Chinese edition of Express is released. The currently released version of Express is English only.

Does SQL 2005 in-place upgrade update all nodes?

We have a two node, single instance SQL Server 2000 cluster. If I do an
in-place upgrade to 2005, will it replace the binaries on both nodes, or must
I run the upgrade on each node?
Yes and No.
The SQL storage engine upgrade is cluster aware and will update all nodes
(assuming all nodes are online and working at the time of the upgrade). The
tools installer is NOT cluster aware and will have to be run on each node
independently. Personally, i prefer to load the tools first and then go
back and upgrade the engine.

Does RS use the MS FullText Search Engine?

Not sure what this question means, but I am being asked this by our
Technology Department.
Somehow the SQL Server instance where the Report Server databases were got
dettached. They were able to re-enable it, but they cannot restart this
engine because of a corrupt configuration file.
They are asking me whether they should keep researching and trying to fix
this file or they can just remove the engine from the cluster.
Thanks!
Ray G.The FullText search engine is not used by RS.

Does Force Protocol Encryption on Server Require Certificate to be Installed on Client?

So I was able to enable the option to Force Protocol Encryption using
SQL. However, I was still able to connect to this instance of SQL
using the Query Analyzer tool from a machine without the certificate
(public key) installed.
This leads me to believe that the client connected to the server w/out
encrypting communications or that the client doesnt require a
certificate in order to connect (encrypted) to the instance of SQL now
configured to force protocol encryption. As a result, I have the
following question.
Once protocol encryption is enabled on the server using the SQL Server
Network Utility, must the certificate (public key) be installed on the
client in order to access SQL on the server (now configured to force
protocol encryption)?
What does it mean when I connect to the instance of SQL from a machine
w/out the certificate? How is this working? Are communications still
encrypted from client to server?
Thanks in advance for any help/direction.
If found a good article.

Thanks in advance for any help/direction.If you have a certificate on the Server and Force Protocol Encryption
turned on then the traffic is encrypted to and from all clients. The client
does not need a certificate.

The client only requires that the Trusted Root is updated if you enable
protocol encryption from the client.
If it is enabled via Server Network Utility, then the client doesn't need
to Trust the same Root Authority.
Essentially, all you need is a valid certificate on the server.
