Re: Sharepoint Error: 'Cannot connect to the configuration database' error

I assume there is only one folder with subfolders and one of them is called
"80". It looks like you have a standard version with only have MSDE
installed. When you go to START/PROGRAMS do you see a SQL Server reference?

If you have Standard with MSDE installed you can still get to it if you have
some other box that has a full SQL installed. You can use the Enterprise
Manager there to connect to your MSDE instances. If you have access to a
full SQL CD you can also install the tools on your SBS.

The Server Management interface dispays "Microsoft Windows Small Business
Server 2003"
'Program Files' contains a Microsoft SQL Server folder but no ISA folder.

Thanks,

When you open the server management interface it should say on the top
right if it is R2 or not.

If you don't know whether you have Standard or Premium, check for SQL and
ISA installation under the program files.

Is there a way to check this from the server. Windows Properties
indicates Microsoft Windows Server 2003 for Small Business Server
Service Pack 1.

Thanks,

Enterprise Manager is only present if SQL2000 is installed. What
version of SBS2003 are you running - standard or premium? If you are
using R2 then you are running SQL2005 Workgroup.

A client's SBS2003 server is returning this error when I attempt to
browse companyweb. I have run through KB:823287 and found that (on
Method 3) Enterprise Manager does not appear to be on the system. I
was not the original installer of the server so I'm not sure what the
root cause of this is or what the best course for resolution is.
Method 1 and 2 of the KBA were completed and passed (i.e. mssqlserver
service is running and IIS is not running in IIS5.0 isolation mode).

Thanks in advance for your assistance,
Mike
