I'm having some terrible time with installing SCCM on my Server 2008 machine. I setup and installed SQL Server 2005 and added myself to the sysadmin role. I go through the motions of installing SCCM, but before the installation begins the pre-requiste check runs and I receive these messages form the ConfigMgrprereq log: Error - Could not connect to SQL Server -Unsupported Operating System version **This one doesn't make any sense since I'm using Server '08 -Pre-SMS 2003 SP2 direct child sites Error **I tried installing SMS SP2 and SP3, but is unable to install -Short File Name 8.3 Support Error **I have changed this countless times, but it still reports this as an error. I think it has something to do on the SQL side, but according to a few tutorials I have seem to have SQL setup correctly, but something is a miss. Any help..???? Thanks.

Are you logged on with a domain account that has local admin privileges (although I haven't seen it necessarily happen, make sure UAC isn't getting in the way either)?Jason | http://myitforum.com/cs2/blogs/jsandys | Twitter @JasonSandys
