Russ, that didn't help. Here's what the event viewer says: SQL Database 'SharePoint_Config_29c26fca-17b8-48c1-9704-b869932abcb6' on SQL Server instance 'np:\\.\pipe\MSSQL$Microsoft##SSEE\sql\query' not found.

I think the below resolution will fix my problem. How do I grant the NETWORK SERVICE account "Database Creation" rights in SQL Server? Resolution To resolve this issue, do one of the following: a.. Grant the NETWORK SERVICE account "Database Creation" rights in SQL Server. b.. Change the application pool identity account to an account that has "Database Creation" rights in SQL Server.

Well, I can't get the Sharepoint 3.0 Central Administration to work on SBS2008. When I click on it, the webpage comes up and says, "Cannot connect to the configuration database." I never heard of a SBS rollup patch. I can't believe how hard this stuff is. SBS2003 was a whole lot easier.

Susan, I went to download the rollup from Microsofts web page but they said to use update.microsoft.com which brings up Windows Update on SBS2008 and it says that "There are no updates available for your computer" and that's for online updates also.

Can you email me a screen shot at sbradcpa@pacbell.net? That should take you to a screen that asks if you want to change Windows update over to Microsoft update. Are you using IE? Can you run www.sbsbpa.com and let me know what it says you are missing in patches. In the meantime read these as I think this is your issue: The Official SBS Blog : Companyweb Inaccessible After Sharepoint 3.0 Service Pack 2: http://blogs.technet.com/sbs/archive...ce-pack-2.aspx The Official SBS Blog : Authentication Issues Accessing Companyweb from the Server Itself after 963027 or Windows 2008 SP 2: http://blogs.technet.com/sbs/archive...er-963027.aspx |
