No connection to database

[meteor]

I've just installed Monitor and instead of using the sql express version I pointed the install to a regular SQL 2005 server. Install gives on errors but when I run Monitor I get no connection to database. Quick look on DB server shows no veeam instance, so I create it. Uninstall and reinstall. Still no database connection!

To connect to the remote SQL DB you need to verify that:

1. SQL Server is configured for Windows Authentication. Named Pipes protocol is enabled.
2. The user that you have specified during installation has administrative rights on both remote (database) and local hosts.
3. Please check manually that “Veeam Monitoringâ€Â

[meteor]

I'm no DB admin but;
When I log into the databasew management console I use the domain admin account. The owner of the Veeam DB that I created is Domain admin account.
Domain admin was also used to install Monitor.
The Veeam Monitoring user group were created by the installation.
The instance name is dbservername\dbname.

Thank you for your request.

Please run the following command and forward obj.dat to support@veeam.com:
SQLCMD.EXE -S <DB_HOST>\<DB_INSTANCE> -Q "SELECT * FROM Monitor.dbo.sysobjects WHERE xtype='u' OR xtype='v' ORDER BY xtype,name" > obj.dat 2>&1

Please verify that you have changed <DB_HOST>\<DB_INSTANCE> to the correct values i.e. localhost\veeam
