Free ebook Download

I registered SQL Server Express and was told that I could download the Ebook Microsoft? SQL Server? 2005 Express Edition eBook. When I go to the portal, it gives me a message that it cannot be downloaded (the site cannot be found. Can someone tell me how to download this book? Thanks in advance.

You download the book from the Benefits portal, if there was an error, it was likely an intermitent thing, you should try again. It's also possible that you have a bad link, but you didn't provide the link you were using, so I can't tell. Try accessing the benefits portal via https://connect.microsoft.com/site/sitehome.aspx?SiteID=40, which should ask you to login, and then see if the download works.

HI Mike,

The site I was trying to download from was FTP_TK2.ds.microsoft.com. Still cannot get the document. Any ideas?

|||

For good measure, I just logged into the site and attempted to download the book. It came down without a hitch, which tells me that it's not an issue with the download going wonky, which can happen sometimes. The issue must be something related to you specific situation.

Please verify that you were able to log into the Connect site and get to the benefits portal download page. If you are able to do that successfully, please give me the exact steps you are following from that page, when you get the error and the text of the error you're getting.

You may also want to seek help directly from the Connect Support group by submitting a question at https://connect.microsoft.com/Main/ContactUs/EmailSupport.aspx?Category=3.

|||Same thing happens to me when I register for the benefits, and click the link in the email labeled "Registration Benefit Portal".

It takes me to the MS Connect site with a 404 of:

click this link --> https://connect.microsoft.com/site/sitehome.aspx?SiteID=40

And tell me what happens.

Mike,

I got a 404 at 12:23 am PDT on Sep 6, 2007.

I'm guessing that one must be logged into the connect site first. (I'll try that next.)

I recommend http://bookilook.com -> ebook search website.
