UNABLE TO CONNECT TO SERVER - Microsoft SQL Server

KAM MAHONEK

If you place an image of your server on a rebuilt server, rename it and
change the SID. You get an error message “UNABLE TO CONNECT” when you
use the SQL Query analyzer on a desktop computer to connect to the
server (hosting the image). If you add the server (hosting the image)
to the Windows2000 server domain/active server and restart the server
(hosting the image), you get the following error message: "YOUR SQL
SERVER INSTALLATION IS EITHER CORRUPT OR HAS BEEN TAMPERED WITH (UNKNOWN
PACKAGE ID). PLEASE RERUN SETUP."

Wouldn't you think changing the name, the sid and adding it to a domain
would be enough to access it. I even created a new ODBC connection.

Hi

You may want to see the bit about dropping and re-adding the server.

If you also have problems with orphaned users if this is not on the same
domain.

by: InProcess | last post by:

Let me start by saying that, yes we know v6.5 is no longer supported by Microsoft and that moving to SQL2000 might resolve our problem. Actually the migration to SQL2000 is 1 to 2 months out and in the QA phase now. Unfortunately we need to resolve the current 6.5 issue now as it heavily impacts a major revenue stream for the company with every outage we encounter. The Problem: At least once every 24 hours the SQL Server begins...
