• SQL Server Accessing connectionString from ConnectionManager in a script task ends with "login failed"! WHY!!

  So in a script task for one of my packages I have a connection manager to an dtsConfig OLE DB. This is the code Dim ConnectionString As String = Dts.Connections("db_stage").ConnectionString Dim sqlConnection As SqlConnection = New SqlConnection(ConnectionString ) I get a login failed for user...But if I hardcode the connectionString, including the password this works. 1) Why is it that the ConnectionString from the connection manager omits this password 2) Since this is an OLE DB, is there anyway to set the Data Source Designer to omit the "Provider=ABCDED.1" section Thanks!

Hope someone can help me Thanks Shihad P.S check out Shihad single    ALIVE   great! I've passed on your praises to the WMP folks who provided the answer. here's one more note that was provided by the team: Also if they changed after using a ISV program, its probably worth a look in the options or settings of the ISV program to prevent future re-occurrences of observed behavior where the ISV app re-claims file types without user input. - brenda (ISV Buddy Team) ...Show All

• SQL Server Transfer Logins: The source server can not be the same as the destination server

  I am replacing a server so I need to migrate everything. The old server is running SQL2000 and the new server is running SQL2005. I am trying to write an SSIS solution to migrate everything for me and I can't even get started because I get the error "The source server can not be the same as the destination server". At the same time I am changing the name of the Domain so the two machines arenot even members of the same Domain. I am doing this over the Internet so the machines are not even on the same subnet. The only thing I can think of is that the machine names are the same so even though the domains are different therefore the full names are different, the NetBIOS names are the same. Could that be the problem BTW, just for the sake of ...Show All
