Managing 2000 and 2005

Dear all
I have now a default instance of SQL Server 2005 running on one PC and an
old default instance of SQL Server 2000 running on another PC.
I would like to administer both SQL Servers with the new SQL Server 2005
Management Studio. However, I am unable to register the SQL Server 2000 in
the SQL Server 2005 Management Studio.
Any help is appreciated.
Best regards
AdrianYou should be able to.
What problems are you seeing?

"Unable to register" means what exactly? Are you getting an error
message? Management Studio is perfectly capable of working with a 2000
server, I do it all day long every day...

Well, it is great to hear it. So I just need to figure out how.
I can connect to the SQL Server 2000 with the sqlcmd program within an eye's
blink. However, when I enter precisely the same connect data to the
register-dialog of the Management Studio it returns after quite a long time
a message with the error 10061.
So what am I doing wrong?

2005 tools (including SSMS, Profiler, and the Replication Monitor
(sqlmonitor).

That error indicates that the connection was refused by the server. Is
SQL Server using TCP/IP? Listening on what port?

Yes, it listens on TCP/IP 2433 and requires encryption. The client libraries
on the SQL Server 2005 PC are set appriopriately, so sqlcmd has no problems
connecting to it. It is only the Management Studio that makes me ...
aaarrrgh.
Any ideas?

In the connection dialog in Management Studio, try specifying the server
name like this:
serverDNSname,2433
And in the Options of that connection dialog, make sure the "Encrypt
Connection" checkbox is marked...

Thank you very much for the excellent and very quick help.
Yes, the connection is established.
The trick is:
i) to follow this advice:
> In the connection dialog in Management Studio, try specifying the server

> serverDNSname,2433
but
ii) not to follow this one:
> And in the Options of that connection dialog, make sure the "Encrypt

Now my sleep will be peaceful.
