AUTHENTICATION= (INTEGRATED),

PORTS = (CLEAR),

SITE = '*'

)

FOR SOAP (

WEBMETHOD 'http://tempUri.org'.'GetCustomerInfo'

schema=STANDARD

),

WSDL=DEFAULT,

Msg 170, Level 15, State 1, Line 2

Line 2: Incorrect syntax near 'ENDPOINT'.

Please Help me ASAP.

Vineet

I just did a cut and paste of the DDL and it worked for me. I ran it against SQL2K5 RTM build. The Northwind database is not available by default with SQL2K5, even then it should merely fail by saying "Database not found".
