I am building a new install with a remote SQL 2005 server. Everything I have tried has failed. When it gets to configuring the DB and Schema it fails. I have opened the three Policy objects, I have tried local and domain Admin accounts. I can connect via ODBC to the SQL box and using Netstat I can view the SIM server tring to connect. In the Audit log on the SQL server the SIM account logs on ok, then fails within 1 second. I am at my witts end. I feel the issue lies on the SQL side but as far as I can tell the user account has all the correct privliges. Any Ideas where to start? I have bee nall over these forums for the last two days and have tried most of the solutions to no avail.

So I went in and manualy created the SIM DB. I assigned my user rights then went back to the SIM box and ran mxinitconfig -a. Everything worked. Seems that the HP SIM could not create the DB even thought the user had all the correct Access. after I created an empty DB it woked fine, Thank you for the reply.
