Installing ADMN on Windows SBS 2003.
Get an error from MS SQL Server Destop Engine. “The Instance name specified is invalid” (see the pic)
I’m ran “lodctr /r” as I found in other posts related to similar issues without success.
there is SQL running in a different location(drive) for our user database.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
did u create a new instance???
its also best practice to create a seperate instance for avast (for every different db actually)
this is the way u have to give the server and instance for the adnm setup
servername\instancename
server: galaxy
instance: avast
would be: galaxy\avast
since the screenshot doesnt show what you filled in and the summier information u provide about the setup u have done, this is my best guess atm
Attached is a pic of the setup for the SQL server. It says that it installs MSDE on local computer with the instance name ‘avast’
Yet I’m getting the error “the instance name specified is invalid”
do you happen to have MSDE already installed on that machine and that the installer cant access it for that reason?
I have simply decided to install ADMN on a different server and avoid the problems with running it on the main server. Thank you for the time and thought.
