\viewkind4\uc1\pard\f0\fs20 Hello Jason,
\par
\par Some things I would like to confirm with you:
\par
\par 1.\tab Have you installed WSS as a Server Farm environment?
\par 2.\tab Have you set the domain user as the log on account for SharePoint Timer Service? You can check in Services.msc - SharePoint Timer Service - Log On tab.
\par 3.\tab Have you added the domain user into the Administrators group on the SQL Server box?
\par 4.\tab Have you ever used the domain account to log on to the new WSS server? If so, have you ever successfully imported the data from that SQL Server box when you log on to the new WSS server using the domain account?
\par
\par If all the answers to the questions above are YES but the problem still persists, we may need to try another strategy.
\par
\par Method 1
\par ========
\par
\par 1.\tab Add the domain account (UserA) into the Administrators group on both the new WSS box and the SQL Server box.
\par 2.\tab Use the domain account (UserA) to log on to the new WSS box, and then create a new WSS Application Pool
\par 3.\tab Then, test if this issue recurs.
\par
\par Method 2
\par ========
\par
\par 1.\tab Add the domain account (UserB) that you use to run the old WSS box into Administrators group on the new WSS box.
\par 2.\tab Use the domain account (UserB) to log on to the new WSS box, and then create a new WSS Application Pool
\par 3.\tab Then, test if this issue recurs.
\par
\par Answer to your question: Do I need to connect to the existing configuration database? What would happen if I created a new one, but connected to my existing content database?
\par
\par -\tab Yes, you are required to connect to the existing configuration database as you use an existing database.
\par
\par -\tab If you want to create a new content database, however, you may need to perform some extra actions to add the existing database to the newly created content database. The whole process is somewhat complex. For the detailed information, you can reference " Managing the Configuration Database " and " Managing Content Databases " sections in the WSS Administrator's Guide, which you can download from the following web site:
