Enterprise Manager - Connection Failing

  • We recently added some new user profiles to Windows 2000 computer. After having done that our Enterprise Manager started having problems connecting to our databases. The error we are getting is OLE Error 16386.

    We are still able to connect to the databases vis Query Analyzer.

    Any suggestions?

  • Had this error a few months ago....

    Here's what I found, and it worked for me...

    sql server enterprise manager general ole error 16386

    solution:

    a. Stop all SQL Server services (MSSQLServer, SQLServerAgent, MSSEARCH)

    b. Open command prompt and go to the Program Files\Microsoft SQL

    Server\80\Tools\Binn directory

    c. Unregistered the following .dll files (Ex. regsvr32 /u dtsui.dll): dtsui.dll,

    sqlns.dll, sqldmo.dll, sqllex.dll, sqlmmc.dll

    d. Copy and paste the .dll files from a CD (under x86\Binn directory) to the Program

    Files\Microsoft SQL Server\80\Tools\Binn

    e. Register the .dll files (Ex. regsvr32 sqldmo.dll)
