VMT 5.3.1 & MsSQL 2005 Express

[Trevor Commulynx]

Hi Guys,

I am trying to instal VMT on a XP sp2 box and connect to a remote SQL 2005 Express Instance. I have setup everything correctly (I believe) and still can't connect.

I have tried the Service account setup and also the DB owner user name and still cannot connect, but if I setup a ODBC connector on the same box I can connect without issue.!!!

What am I missing as this is doing my head in! is there any debugging I can turn on at the Installation endpoint?

Fields I am filling out- Example:

Servername: SERVER\INSTANCE (or without instance)
Port Number: 1433
DataBase name: Procurve
Username: \procurve - or - procurve
password: xxxxxxxx

What am I missing? I have tried the variations as above.

Dont worry, sorted it by Installing SQL Epxress Locally (2005) with the default instances and used Local auth.

Pain, but acceptable configuration.

SOlution as above.
