Trouble with Sql Server 2005 Surface Area Conf.
I have, finally, installed SSRVER 2005 on my Win 7 machine.
I can not give my user account SysAdmin Privileges
I keep addding them - they do not take
I have SQL Server Running
I have noticed in some of the docs that told me to go here, That i should be in "SQL Server 2005 User Provisioning Tool for Vista/Windows 7".
Mine only reads "SQL Server 2005......Vista". No windows 7.
not sure if this is the issue. but until i can get SysAdmin I can't see my instance

joshgeake, that link no longer works. I'm also having trouble figuring out how to get SQL 2005 on my machine. I recently got a Windows 7 machine and need SQL Server for accessing a few databases locally. I'd really appreciate any help you may be able to provide.

Thanks, Joshgeake. The link does work now.
I ended up resolving the issue in the meantime. I didn't really care if it was 2005 or 2008 -- but wasn't having luck with either. What ended up helping me was what Nicholas Piasecki says at the very bottom here: SQL Server Express 2008 - Missing Client Tools / Management Studio / Profiler
Basically, I needed to upgrade the Edition before the Client Tools were even available for install. Not very obvious. Once I did that (and I also made sure I had installed any available service packs for SQL Server), management studio was available and I was able to install it.
Hope this helps someone!
