Hi All,
I am trying to install VC with external DB and it fails with error snapshot attached
I have tried installing with external SQL 2005 and with SQL 2008 but no go.
I did few articles online but no go.
I am trying to do this on my home lab in vmware workstation. I have my AD installed as home.local I log in as home.local\administrator and then I am trying the VC installation.
The ODBC connection from the VC Server to the DB server passes the connection.
this is what I am getting in the vpxd log file. Any suggestions please
