to create another endpoint and received the following error:

I have 3 questions regarding memory configuration on a Windows Server 2003
SP2 Enterprise Edition with SQL2005 SP2.
1. Can someone advise on the correct boot.ini file configuration to utilize
4GB of local memory? I'm not sure if I need the 3GB switch?

Gurus,
When you install a SQL Server 2005 Named Instance, it uses a dynamically
allocated port (as opposed to port 1433 in a default instance).  Is this
more "secure"?

Is there a quick way to copy a set of stored procedures in SQL Server 2005
from one database engine to another, as quickly as using DTS in SQL Server
2000?  Other than restoring from a backup.
Thanks,

We're late to the party, as far as rolling out SQL2K5.  I would like
to *GASP* apply the latest SP2 cumulative update to the servers(looks

sys.database_files and sys.master_files. sys.master_files inidcates smaller
sizes so I think that rules out deferred drop operations.  Any ideas?  this
is for Tempdb files.

By default, the transactionlogs are created in the same location as

default location of the transactionlogfiles.

What scares me about the 70-431 exam is the huge amount of complicated
T-SQL commands. Look at the syntax of any T-SQL command with all its
options; many many options, how can I remember them. Do I need to
remember all these instructions for the exam. Please let me know.

I'm trying to use the tuning advisor to fix some VERY slow stored procs.
Unfortunately they contain code that creates temp tables and when I run the

Last week, we had an auditor came in to audit our SQL Server security
settings. He specifically checks if we set developers as sysadmin server
