Connectivity Tools for SQL Server Compact, SQL Server Mobile, SQL Server 2000, and SQL Server 2005

Published: December 18, 2005

Companies and users of SQL Server 2005 Compact Edition, SQL Server 2005 Mobile Edition (SQL Server Mobile) or SQL Server 2000 Windows CE 2.0 Edition (SQL Server CE 2.0) who plan to synchronize to SQL Server 2000 or SQL Server 2005 databases will need to install the Connectivity Tools release on their servers running Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS).

This page describes connectivity tools. Note that the "xx" in the file name is a placeholder for the language of the installation. Initially the connectivity tools will be available in English only ("en" for the placeholder "xx"). The SQL Server CE 2.0 Replication Components are provided for backward compatibility. Refer to the setup instructions for the installation of the connectivity tools.

1.	SQL Server 2005 Compact Edition Server Tools (Sqlce30setupen.msi) updates the servers running IIS to support connectivity solutions from SQL Server 2005 Compact Edition database on a mobile device or a desktop or a tablet PC to database servers running SQL Server 2000 SP3a and above versions.
2.	SQL Server 2005 Mobile Edition Server Tools (Sqlce30setupen.msi) installs the SQL Server Mobile Replication Components on the IIS box. The components are required for connecting the SQL Server Mobile database on a mobile device to a SQL Server 2005, SQL Server 2005 SP1, SQL Server 2005 SP2, SQL Server 2000 SP3a, or SQL Server 2000 SP4 database.
3.	SQL Server 2000 Service Pack 4 Replication Components (Sql2KenSP4.msi) installs the SQL Server 2000 SP4 Replication Components on the IIS machine. The components are required for connecting the SQL Mobile database on a mobile device to a SQL Server 2000 SP4 database.
4.	SQL Server 2000 Service Pack 3a Replication Components (Sql2KenSP3a.msi) installs the SQL Server 2000 SP3a Replication Components on the IIS machine. The components are required for connecting the SQL Mobile database on a mobile device to a SQL Server 2000 SP3a database.
5.	SQL Server CE 2.0 Replication Components for SQL Server 2000 SP4 (sqlce20sql2ksp4.exe) installs the SQL Server CE 2.0 and SQL Server 2000 SP4 Replication Components on the IIS machine. The components are required for connecting the SQL Server CE 2.0 database on a mobile device to a SQL Server 2000 SP4 database.
6.	SQL Server CE 2.0 Replication Components for SQL Server 2000 SP3a (sqlce20sql2ksp3a.exe) installs the SQL Server CE 2.0 and SQL Server 2000 SP3a Replication Components on the IIS machine. The components are required for connecting the SQL Server CE 2.0 database on a mobile device to a SQL Server 2000 SP3a database.

Version Support

The replication components are available for the following versions:

•	SQL Server 2005 SP2
•	SQL Server 2005 SP1
•	SQL Server 2005 (RTM version)
•	SQL Server 2000 SP4
•	SQL Server 2000 SP3a
•	SQL Server 2005 Mobile Edition (SQL Server Mobile)
•	SQL Server 2000 Windows CE 2.0 Edition (SQL Server CE 2.0)

The replication components must be installed on the machine running the IIS server. In a two-machine scenario, SQL Server and IIS server are installed on the same machine. In a three-machine scenario, SQL Server and IIS server are installed on different machines.

The supported version of IIS is IIS 5.x or later versions of IIS. (Supported on 32-bit Windows Server 2003, 32-bit Windows XP, and Windows 2000 SP4)

Setup Instructions

The setup instructions are as follows. The appropriate connectivity tools from the download links vary depending upon the installation scenario download.

Installation Scenario Set 1

The setup instructions are for setting up replication for the first time on the machine running the IIS server. To upgrade existing replication components on the machine running the IIS server, refer to the setup instructions in Installation Scenario Set 2.
