There is a server that has a potentially bad (beta?) dll and I cannot run sql server management on it w/o a MSCORLIB error when remoting in. I installed SQL 2005 Express on a diff workstation and had it connect to the main one. Now the user wants to see "Server Agent" so they can schedule jobs but suprise suprise, the express edition doesn't have it! I need to somehow connect to that main sql server w/o paying for a lisence for another full install of SQL on the RDP workstation I setup for them. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks.
 
Take the SQL 2005 CD/DVD and stick it in there workstation. Run through the installer selecting to install only the Client Tools on thier workstation.

As far as the server, try reinstalling the most recent service pack on the server to reinstall the dll.
