Hi:

Appreciate if anyone can help me on the following questions:

(1) Is MSDE necessary if we wish to install Windows SharePoint Team service
and/or MS Project Server?

(2) MSDE installation problems -- please read below.

Followed article
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/distsql/distsql_84xl.asp
for many many times and never succeeded -- maybe just because I am new to
this.

Using example of the article - setup SAPWD="AStrongSAPwd"

What exactly show we put inside " "? A real strong password, or as
literally the same as in the example -- AStrongSAPwd?

Do we include " " or not?

I tried once with the exact thing as - setup SAPWD="AStrongSAPwd", word by
word, and the best thing that I could get from testing (based on
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;322336&Product=sql )
is to have the following result: 1>

And there is no instructions for what to do next in the article. I pressed
Enter, it will become 2> and go on. I typed something else, no response at
all.

Other times, it will become as the following - which i changed to the mixed
mode but still failed.

----------------
The following error message indicates that the computer that is running SQL
Server is set to Windows Authentication only:
Login failed for user 'sa'. Reason: Not associated with a trusted SQL Server
connection.
---------------------

I also tried the section -
How to Change Your SA Password

Still wont work.

So your advise is deeply appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
