Chapter 7 – Upgrading a Database Server to
SQL Server 2005 Standard or Enterprise Edition
Introduction
The MSP 3.2 Server installer does not provide support to upgrade from using a SQL Server 2005
Express Edition to using either SQL Server 2005 Standard or Enterprise editions. This upgrade
must be performed separately from the MSP 3.2 server install/upgrade.
Q: Why would I need to upgrade from SQL Server Express edition to either the Standard or
Enterprise edition?
A: If you wish to use data collection your installation must use SQL Server 2005 Standard or
Enterprise edition with Analysis Services.
Q: I have an existing MSP server installation (3.1.x or 3.2) that is using SQL Server 2005
Express. How do I keep my data and upgrade to MSP 3.2 and be able to use data collection?
A: You must upgrade your existing SQL Server 2005 Express instance to SQL Server 2005
Standard or Enterprise with Analysis Services.
Q: I have an existing MSP server installation that is using SQL Server 2005 Express, I have
decided that I want to run SQL Server 2005 Standard or Enterprise. How can I keep my data?
