Today I decided to install SCCM to see if it would help with the WDS work I have been doing.
After a quick download from the Microsoft website, I kicked off the installer, only to find a nice helpful error message:
Setup is unable to connect to SQL server with the connection information provided. Verify the following: - The SQL Server and instance names are entered correctly - The specified SQL Server instance is not configured to use dynamic ports - If a firewall is enabled on the SQL Server, inbound rules exist to allow connections to the correct ports - The account used to run Setup has permissions to connect to the specified SQL Server instance.
