SMS Installation

[scottweb3]

I am trying to install SMS 2.0 for the first time. Will be installing on a windows nt server which is already running SQL 7.0. When I go through the whole process of installtion and at the end it tells me it can not log on to the sql server with the account that i indicated. I have checked everything and can not understand why it wont see the account (sa)

Hi
Try adding a new SQL user with sufficient authority and use this account (safer than using sa). Then you can be sure there is no password conflict (usually the case when SMS can't validate the user)
hope it helps

Can you log into the SQL 7.0 server using the "sa" account? Joseph L. Poandl
