Smile Same Problem...

Quote:
I am installing BES 4.1 on a Windows SBS 2003 server. During the installation, the BES install detected the instance of SQL that comes with SBS 2003 (I did NOT get the version of SBS that comes with SQL 2005, so I don't have full blown SQL). I think SBS uses SQL 2000 natively for it's own functions. SBS uses SQL for error and status reporting.

The bottom line is that the install wants to connect to an SQL database, but is reporting that there is none. There is no SQL manager on SBS 2003. I don't see any way to configure the existing SQL for BES. I think I should install MSDE 2000 instead.

Thanks, if you have any ideas.
I'm having the same exact problem... It's the 1 user freebie BES... The one thing that I did encounter (as i followed the install directions to a T, as I haven't done this exact install yet) is that it wanted the MDAC 2.8, which doesn't install on the 2K3 SBS...

Any help with this matter would be VERY helpful!
Thanks!!
