SYMPTOMS
The Microsoft Systems Management Server Administrator's Guide incorrectly specifies the recommended number of SQL server connections needed for setting up SMS on page 55:   Make sure that the SQL Server has a maximum user connection setting that has at least 5 connections for use by SMS. Ten connections are recommended. If you attempt to setup SMS version 1.0 with less than 20 connections, then the following error appears during Setup:

Not enough SQL connections are available for correct execution of SMS. At least 20 connections are recommended.

If you choose OK, the following error appears:

Error: Number of requested connections must be >= 20.



RESOLUTION
Increase the number of connections available to SQL to 20 or greater.

NOTE: Systems Management Server version 1.0 and 1.1 require SQL Server, not SQL Workstation. SQL Server allows more than 20 connections, SQL Workstation allows a maximum of 15.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Systems Management Server versions 1.0 and 1.1. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
