https://community.hpe.com/t5/server-management-systems/database-greyed-out/m-p/4252154#M34249 Long story... HP SIM 5. MSDE database. Managed to delete the PMP_V3_0 ldf and mdf files.<BR /><BR />Tried to reinstall SIM to correct the issue. The set up runs and does the inspection and finds a locally installed database. Takes me to the Database configuation screen but all the options apart from the password are greyed out. I enter the account password and click next. I get the option to do a custom or typical installtion. But the next button is greyed out for both options.<BR /><BR />I have removed the MSDE installation and files. I have renamed the database.admin, database.props and the databaseadminupd.tpl files. <BR /><BR />Ihave also removed the ODBC settings for that database to try and force a reinstall.<BR /><BR /><BR />Any ideas.<BR /><BR /><BR /> Thu, 14 Aug 2008 12:09:40 GMT Christopher Mitton 2008-08-14T12:09:40Z https://community.hpe.com/t5/server-management-systems/database-greyed-out/m-p/4252154#M34249 Long story...
