SQL2005 tools connectivity to 20082r2 after collation rebuild..


we have number of sql 2005 clustered server instances using following collation sql_altdiction_cp850_ci_ais   new sql 2008r2 enterprise cluster created , after cluster put in 'production' , databases added it, found out collation set incorrectly sql_altdiction_cp850_ci_ai.   without wanting perform full reinstall able find following commands run rebuild instance in cluster change it's collation.

setup.exe /q /action=rebuilddatabase vs=#clustername# /instancename=#instancename# /sqlsysadminaccounts="domain\user"  /sqlcollation= sql_altdiction_cp850_ci_as

while user databases detached , instance offlined in cluster above command worked in changing servers default collation.  problem this, of older vb tools created, worked before running command above no longer work.  error displayed says: [sql-dmo] server object not connected.

i can load sql management studio 2005, connect instance rebuilt, can see database have attached. it's collation matches of server. can drill down , see tables, if right click on table , select open table following error: unspecified error
 (ms visual database tools)

prior rebuilt able perform functions above, user created database detached before rebuild , attached after rebuild , the intance onlined.

however can run queries say, select top 1000 rows table either 2005 , 2008 management tools , work.  there way tell else has been change not allow functions used use stop functioning? example sql-dmo not working though 2005 compatibilty pack has been installed.

 

i suggest reinstall sql server 2005, management studio. should fix issue.
