Author SQL server upgrade problems

Trying to install SLP SP3A and will not log on as sa to do the upgrade. WHen
I run enterprise manager from the server I get the following connection error:
" A connection could not be established to OurServerName
Drivers SQLAllocHandle on SQL_HANDLE_ENV Failed"

I can however connect to the server from a workstation running enterprise
manager. Server is running windows 2000 server SP4.

Are you using a trusted connection from SQLEM running on your
workstation? Have you got SQL connections disabled, thereby only
allowing Windows Authentication (out of the box default settings)? If
yes then you won't be able to connect to your SQL instance with the 'sa'
login - you'll have to either enable mixed authentication or use a
trusted login to connect to the SQL instance during the upgrade.

Server is running in mixed mode authentication I can connect from a
workstation using both sa and windows authentication. One other this is the
SQL server agent wont run on the server either.

dinosaw,

This is normally a problem with the ODBC driver. I would recommend
reinstalling MDAC and then trying again.

Love your work.

Uninstall MDAC and reinstalled all worked fine.

Thanks for this.
