  • Are you accessing server through any we application? or are you directly trying to connect to the SSMS?

    And also have you got required permissions?

  • Directly i logged on that server and open the SQL Server Management Studio. Immediately it throws the error.

    But when i connect the server throuhg some other system it is working fine.

  • Do you have anything else written on your application log about registry errors? Either you don't have enough permissions or the installation has changed. Are you logging in as admin?

    It clearly says that 'one source' is not able to get access to 'another resource'. Did you check whether .Net framework is corrupted?

  • I have Local System Admin Priviledges. I don't know how to check .Net Framework corrupted.

    I checked in the Add or Remove program it shows .Net Version 2.0 with SP2 and .Net Version 3.0 with SP2 also instlled.

    Can you please tell how to verify whether .Net framework work correct or not / corrupted.

    It is corrupted. Now the only alternative is to reinstall but before reinstall, remember

    1. take the backup of all the databases by opening the SQL Server on your system from another pc on network [if your PC is on network].

    2. if it not suffice the point 1, then the take the backup from the command line

    "C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\90\Tools\Binn\osql.exe" -E -Q "BACKUP DATABASE mydatabase TO DISK='C:\tmp\mydatabase.bak' WITH FORMAT"

    use osql or sqlcmd

    3. Use Import/Export / DTS to transfer the data etc.

  • You should only have to reinstall the client tools. This should not affect any of your databases (though a DB backup is always a good idea anyway).

    Can you please confirm how we conclude that this problem "Package - SQL Server Management Studo failed to open" is due to corrupt of .Net Framework.
