This server has already an installed version of SQL Server 2005 &nbsp;on windows 2003 server. The Perofomance tools and the SQL Server Profiler has not been installed. I belive the default installaiton does not install them.<br />
<br />
Now we need to install Profiler. How do I go about this pls?<br />
<br />
I went to the add-remove programs and see an optoion of install additional componnts. If ths is the way, then which component should I need?<br />
<br />
My main concern is if I install this component will ist have a drastic effect on existing databases. I will of course take a precausion and backup.<br />
<br />
The DVD is available.<br />
