I have a new installation of OpenManage Essentials on a Dell T610 (Server 2012-R2 Std) that is also a domain controller.
All of the prerequisite steps were successful and am at the stage where I provide the database server name and authentication.
I tried using my normal domain administrator credentials (same as what I am logged in as to do the install) but it errors "Cannot connect to (local)\SQLEXPRESSOME. Login faile for user <domain>\administrator.
Next I created a user account just for this login and gave it Domain Admins memebership. Same problem.
Tried using local SQL server authentication by providing a user name and password that I want it to use but then I get the error "Microsoft ODBC SQL Server Driver [dbmslpcn] SQL server does not exist or access denied SQL State: 08001
I found the installation document that shows these screens but it doesn't say what to do when it doesn't work and I couldn't find posts that seem to apply.
Any thoughts on what I should try?
Thanks -Randy-
