RE: MP Install issue



OK.. I got it working.. however the resolution leads to another question..

Digging further I've pulled up the following info out of the
SMS_CCM\Logs\MP***.log files

>From MPRetry.log :

MPDB ERROR - CONNECTION PARAMETERS
SQL Server Name : servername
SQL Database Name : SMS_S01
Integrated Auth : True

MPDB ERROR - EXTENDED INFORMATION

MPDB Method HRESULT : 0x80004005

OK.. this tells me SQL connection problems.. thats at least better that
"Internal Server Error".. sheesh...


I have verified the following :
The computer account for the Remote server is in these groups on the Primary
Site server/SQL server. Local Administrators,
SMS_SiteSystemToSiteServerConnection_S01, SMS_SiteSystemToSQLConnection_S01,
SMS_SiteToSiteConnection_S01

The SMS_SiteSystemToSQLConnection_S01 Group is permitted access to the SQL
Database


Now... as everyone does once they are thouroughly frustrated after 3 days
of fighting.. i started making changes without tracking them.. so.. one of
the things i did eventually fixed it.. I'm going back and trying to
re-tracking my steps as i write this..


Looking at the statement "Integrated Auth : TRUE" something (finally..)
clicked.. SQL Service is starting with a Domain Service Account... Easiest
thing to do at this point for testing was to change the SQL Service to start
as Local System.. Rebooted Primary Server, then Secondary... and wouldn't you
know it.... It started working..

Changed it back.. it broke again..

So i guess when instaling the secondary site.. if your SQL Serivce is
starting with a domain account, you need to specify that account, not
Integrated...

This leads to my next question.. for future knowledge.. How do I change the
SQL Auth type/SQL Server Account on a secondary site after it is installed?
(without re-installing the site....)


My head hurts....
