APPLIES TO
- Microsoft Systems Management Server 2.0 Standard Edition
This article was previously published under Q201858
SYMPTOMS
When installing Systems Management Server 2.0 on the same computer as Microsoft SQL Server, typing the IP address of that computer into the SQL Server Name field in Systems Management Server setup causes an error.
CAUSE
If you type an IP address instead of a server name in the SQL Server Name field, Systems Management Server setup considers the SQL Server to be remote, even if it is the local computer, and returns an error message indicating that the database devices must be created manually.
WORKAROUND
Make sure you use the server name (not the IP address) in the SQL Server name field during Systems Management Server setup.
