| Hello Forum.I have installed SQL Server 2008 on a network and it seems to be installed with no problem. I was sure to specify it as a Network Service account.But other programs that should be able to access the database are unable to connect.What steps should I go through to ensure that the database is up and running correctly? |

| Well, before I do that, I need to fix something that I see as being a problem. It appears I was installing the wrong version of SQL Server. I was installing the express version. I think there is also an issue with installing an x86 version on a x64 machine. So first things first. I need to completely uninstall what I have installed. Here is what I have done. I have stopped the sql services on my machine. Then I went through the uninstaller and uninstalled all the programs starting with SQL. Then I went into the programs directory and I renamed the MICROSOFT SQL SERVER directory.But when I restart the program, I still see one of the sql services still listed in the list.How do I get rid of that? |
