SQL Server 2005 DTS problem: "Error 21776: General Error"

I've recently migrated all databases to SQL Server 2005. I couldn't
figure out how to create an SSIS package in the time I had, so I just
stuck with the DTS packages. They all worked fine during testing, but
once we renamed the server we had problems. The DTS packages still
work, but whenever I click into the Copy SQL Server Object and try to
Select Objects (on the Copy tab) I get this error:

Microsoft SQL-DMO
Error 21776: General Error

I click OK and get the error again and again for a total of 12 times
(regardless of which database I'm connecting to in the packages, so
it's not related to the number of objects in the database). Then the
Select Objects screen appears and it's business as usual.

Has anyone else come across this problem and found a solution? I've
renamed the server using sp_dropserver and sp_addserver and select
@@servername returns the correct value

In the past I would script out the DB and then copy the data, but just
restoring on 2005 from the 2000 backup files has worked flawlessly for this
version upgrade on dozens of my production databases.

I have never had much success using DTS for object transfers.

Hello, I am writing an ASP app which is giving me some very frustrating errors. They appear intermittently, no real pattern to them, and often go away if you reload, or back up a few pages and start over again. The first error is logged as a 400 error and says only, "The parameter is incorrect." It (mostly, but not always) happens upon submitting a form, and a reload is generally successful in bringing the page up just fine. I have...

I created a simple web site in VS 2005 and then copied it underneath the IIS tree and created a virtual directory for it. When I try to access the default.aspx page I get the below error text: Note that this is the default web.config file generated by the application. The OS is Windows Server 2003, released version of VS 2005, created an Asp.Net file system web site that does not do anything special and deployed it to test.

Hi, The reason is that my application does about 16 connects and data transfers per second, to the same 16 remote hosts. After approx 200 secs there are 4000 sockets waiting to be garbage collected by the OS. At this point is seems that connect loops and starts using the same local addresses it used 4000 connections ago, resulting in an "Address already in use" exception. A possible solution to this would be to keep the connection to...

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not.

These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
