Hello. i have 3 servers running a sql datastore on win2k with service pack 3 and citrix xpe. i'm adding another one and am confused about the message that i'm receiving - data store exists, overwrite? . i changed the servers from 'local' store to sql about a year ago and don't have any documentation from that timeline. what are the settings for sql server, and should i 'overwrite' ? is this question about overwriting the datastore?
thanks.

it sounds like you are telling the server to create a new farm with the same name as the existing. MAKE SURE you are joining an exising farm.
 
i definately have selected the 'join' farm. here's the options ..
1. connect directly to the data store and use default zone name - next
2. the systems 'autoselects' the name of the store-mf20.dsn. i enter a description and 'point' to the existing sql server name. - next
3. i'm using (domain admin) windows nt authentication [don't remember what i used the first time] and select next
4. what options are supposed to go here? change to default, attach, etc? maybe this is my error -
