To Anyone who can help -- I am following the self-paced training kit for Microsoft SQL Server 2008 Implementation and Maintenance written by Mike Hotek and have entered the following code as requested: ( Note that I have italicized thecode & message )
EXEC sp_configure ‘Database Mail XPs’,1
GO
RECONFIGURE WITH OVERRIDE
GO
When I execute this code I get the following message:
Msg 15123, Level 16, State 1, Procedure sp_configure, Line 51
The configuration option 'Database Mail XPs' does not exist, or it may be an advanced option.
Admittedly I am very new to SQL Server -- the only thing I can figure why this is not working is because I did not check the Reporting Services box when I installed the SQL Server 2008 Enterprise software, as I was following the instructions as close as possible. The other possibility is I downloaded a different database than what was asked, although I have no idea how that would affect my outcome. Thank you to anyone who can help!
Oh yeah, I don't know if this helps but I am running Windows Vista, w/ Pentium(R) Dual-Core CPU processor 2.50GHz& 4GB of RAM and it is a 64-bit system... Thanks again!
