sql server notification services:
any ideas why a build that is valid and proven in Standard , should
fail in Enterprise when building the generator rules ?

I'm assuming since it's going in production that this is a v2.0 on SQL
Server 2000 installation. Is that right?

And is it a new installation or are you updating an existing instance?

Any additional information beyond the screenshot?

In your SubscriptionEventRule, do you join to a linked server that is
perhaps not there at the client site?

HTH...

We've identified the problem now. The enterprise v standard was a red
herring. The production servers have a case-sensitive collation and the
NS ADF file had one character in the rule in the incorrect case. We had
not run this build against binary collations before so it caught us
out.

problem solved.

an observation for the dev team. Running the NS build in an msi package
or from code via nscontrol makes managing errors almost impossible as
it is a console process. Any chance in future versions of a dll
implementation of nscontrol with a return code ?

thanks for replies

Thanks for posting the follow up with the resolution.

I've only come across a handful of case-sensitive SQL Server
installations and they can be a pain if you're not used to it.
