Hi, we have WSS 3.0 running on sql server 2005 standard. I'd like to create copy of WSS on test server. I don't want to use full sql server, and I can't use sql express because of database limitations. AFAIK Windows Internal Database doesn't have size limitations, so I've installed wss standalone with internal database. Now I'm going to restore wss config and content to this test server. Is it possible to restore wss this way? And what database server name should be in this case? SERVERNAME\Microsoft##SSEE ?

according to this link you should use something like \\.\pipe\MSSQL$MICROSOFT##SSEE\sql\query for instance name. If wss can work standalone with internal database - probably restore also will work. However I'm not 100% sure in it (I didn't try it by myself), so it would be great if you will notify us in this forum thread for your results.Blog - http://sadomovalex.blogspot.com CAML via C# - http://camlex.codeplex.com
