H-sphere now has the MSSQL Manager utility integrated into the CP to manage the MSSQL DBs and you may use it straightaway from the CP. For this you need to enable ASP and ASP.net resources for the domain.
I was told that it was an issue with IE so I used Mozilla and it worked fine.
Yash, since we now have access to MSSQL Manager through our control panels again, it might be a good idea to remove this forum entry in general announcements
OK, I’ll try getting SQLAdmin to work again today. I’ll have to install it individually on each MS SQL server rather than having it on a single server.
I am finishing up on the access to it, I am trying to get it to use SQL authentication isntead of windows authentication by default now, as it is just one less step for the user. After reviwing most of the security it is nothing more than EM offers (seeing all the databases).
I still need to go over it one more time however. It has an excellent SQL backup feature to dump structure and data, that will be most welcome!
I’m really looking forward to be able to backup my MS SQL databases to my local computer (which was possible more than a year ago, but since changing of servers, etc was no longer available).
Thanks for putting the effort in to make it work again, much appreciated. When will it be available?
Yorri tested it out and did not make any negative comments, but had a good suggestion. I will PM you a login to the system in less than 24 hours, and should get a write-up about different methods to manage SQL Server by monday night (US Central Time) and will make the announcement public then.
Then when it wants your MS SQL login info just do that as usual, the first prompt is just for windows authentication, I am working to remove it and also the “windows authentication” option from the MS SQL login options.
I tried that and I got this error when I tried to access the Databases.

Make sure you use the login and password I gave to login at the popup.
Then select SQL Login on the form login, that will activate the other fields. In those other fields enter your MS SQL login information, and password, then the server (i.e. mssql2.jodoared.com mssql1.jodoshed.com)
Once you do that it will list some sample databases and your database, select yours and you can do some backups and such from there.
