INTRODUCTION
After you install a 64-bit version of Microsoft SQL Server 2005 on a 64-bit version of a Microsoft Windows operating system, the 32-bit entries for SQL Native Client Configuration and for SQL Server 2005 Network Configuration appear in SQL Server Configuration Manager.



MORE INFORMATION
Some tools that are installed together with a 64-bit version of SQL Server 2005 are available only as 32-bit versions. When you install a 64-bit version of SQL Server 2005, the 32-bit versions of the following tools are installed:
 * SQL Server Management Studio
 * SQL Server Configuration Manager
 * Database Engine Tuning Advisor

The following entries appear in SQL Server Configuration Manager:
 * SQL Server 2005 Network Configuration (32bit)
 * SQL Native Client Configuration (32bit)
 * SQL Server 2005 Network Configuration
 * SQL Native Client Configuration

The following table contains information about each entry.

Note Client Network Utility (Cliconfg.exe) is available in SQL Server 2000. In SQL Server 2005, the functionality of this tool is included in SQL Server Configuration Manager. However, to address backward compatibility issues, Client Network Utility is included in SQL Server 2005.
