It doesn’t work on VMWare 64 bit servers if they are installed on 32 bit hardware, a bit unusual combination but suprisingly hard to diagnose the problems.
Hints include total inability to load SSMS and any other sql product e.g. profiler. Since the solution uses dynamic SQL throughout this is a bit of a hindrance!
For a company I’ve worked wtih in the past – interestingly one of the solutions I was working on then hasn’t actually gone live with the customer yet and so it’s a bit of a shock to find that I’m still facing some of the permissions issues that I had last January.
At least I’ve already got the emails detailing the problem and solutions!
