I just installed the enterprise evaluation version of SQL Server 2008 and I installed all tools.
My problem is everytime when I try to use SQL Profiler, I am getting an error that says "Cannot connect to dev-server, Unknown error.(pfutil)", basically I cannot connect to sql profiler.
Please help me with this problem.

Thank you in advance.
