Steven, apologies for the extremely late reply.
Is this the developer version of SQL Server? If so, you need to run the surface area configuration app.

I’m a real newbie at this stuff, I’m trying to learn….but when I run this code i get the following error.
————-
Unhandled Exception: System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: An error has occurred w
hile establishing a connection to the server. When connecting to SQL Server 200
5, this failure may be caused by the fact that under the default settings SQL Se
rver does not allow remote connections. (provider: Named Pipes Provider, error:
40 – Could not open a connection to SQL Server)
————–

The thing is that sql server is set up for remote connections.

Any ideas???

I need a bit more context here. the code snippet doesn’t take any arguments.
Do you get a stack trace after the error?

An error occurred when I execute spdbex.exe.
“ArgumentException”

How can I fix this error?

Hi,

Just want to make a note for a sharepoint document recovery software

http://www.kerneldatarecovery.com/sharepoint-recovery.html

this one proves helpful to restore and recover from MDF db’s with rae repair and Live repair and recovery from the database. Might prove helpful when you face sharepoint database corruptions.

I crashed a sharepoint server during a domain migration but was able to retrieve the files from a DB backup file thanks to your nice script and some tweaking (increased memory and updated query to work by subfolder).

Great work !!!
I will mention you in my next blog article.
