I am at a standstill until I can get SIM to recognize my instance of MSDE that is running.

At the prompt I am entering the same domain credentials used to logon to the server when I installed MSDE. I am also using the Fully Qualified Domain Name on the DataBase Server line.

Just the name itself. However you probably already tried that...<BR />I will also assume the box has been bounced since you installed MSDE?
