!! SMS Help !!

[Guest_imported]

I have just registered with the MSDN and have received a multiple of Microsoft applications, one being SMS. The CD that is provided is SMS Server 2.0 Service Pack 3. When installing, the option to install a Primary site is greyed out. It only allows me to create a Secondary site. I am not familiar with SMS, so I am not sure if this is going to cause problems with only having a secondary site installed for test purposes. If anyone has solutions please let me know. It might be a matter of ordering SMS 2.0 on CD from Microsoft.

Thanks

Do you have a previous version of SMS? If so it needs to be at least SMS 2.0 SP2 before you can upgrade to SP3. If you goto

this will give you the information that might help you..

Make sure that you are installing this on Windows NT/2K SERVER not Workstation OS. Joseph L. Poandl

I'm pretty sure that CD is only a sp3 patch. We received a similar CD from M$ labelled SMS2.0 sp3 and all it is, is the sp3 patch.

I believe you have to have SQL Server installed on the machine you want to host SMS first.
