RE: SBS 2003 Premium Sharepoint Services 3.0 update with SQL 2005

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance

Hi Terence,

In fact, i've a named instance but i did mention it in the wizard.
It's also true that i have WSUS installed before WSS 3.0.
But once it is installed, do you still think it is a must do thing, to
uninstall WSS 3.0 and WSUS and then install them in the correct order?

My problem is that this is a production environment and it hasn´t been me
who has done the system config...

Any way, i think i'll try your solution and will give feedback here soon.

Thanks for your help.

Hello Paulo,

Thank you for posting here.

According to your description, I understand that you get error "Failed to
create configuration database" when you run "Sharepoint Products and
Technologies Configuration Wizard" after you install the WSS 3.0 sp1 and
SQL Server 2005 on SBS. If I have misunderstood the problem, please don't
hesitate to let me know.

Based on my research, I suggest we try the following steps to see if we can
resolve this issue:

I. This issue occurs if the following conditions are true:
a. The default instance of SQL Server 2005 was created as a named instance.

b. You did not specify the instance name in the "SharePoint Products and
Technologies Configuration" wizard.

To resolve this issue, specify the instance name of SQL Server 2005 when
you specify the database server in the "SharePoint Products and
Technologies Configuration" wizard. When you do this, use the following
format:

DatabaseServerName \ InstanceName

II. Do you install WSUS 3.0 before you install the WSS 3.0? If yes, please
uninstall the WSUS 3.0. We need install the WSS 3.0 before WSUS 3.0 to
resolve this wizard issue.

III. If the issue persists, please try the following steps:

1. Close the error dialog.

2. Install the Sharepoint 3.0 hotfix package from KB 934790.

Note: This hotfix package is currently not available for public download.
Please contact Microsoft Customer Support Services to obtain the hotfix.
For a complete list of Microsoft Customer Support Services telephone
numbers and information about support costs, visit the following Microsoft
Web site:

934790 Description of the Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 hotfix package:
April 12, 2007
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;934790

3. After you apply this hotfix, please run the "SharePoint Products and
Technologies Configuration Wizard."

To do this, click Start, point to All Programs, point to Administrative
Tools, and then click SharePoint Products and Technologies Configuration
Wizard.

NOTE: This is the same wizard that you run in Step 3 of the WSS 3.0
whitepaper. You only need to run this wizard once to completion after
installing the hotfix.

4. Complete steps 4-6 in the WSS 3.0 white paper to complete the Sharepoint
3.0 side by side installation on SBS 2003.

Hope these steps will give you some help.

Thanks and have a nice day!

I'm having the same problem stated here.
I have a machine where i've installed wss3.0 with SP1, with SBS 2003 R2.
SQL on the same machine also.

I've downloaded the path but i cannot install it (wrong version of the
product).

What can i do to solve this?

Thanks.
