BUG: Alternate Pipe Not Recognized in Unattended Installation

ID: Q139407

The information in this article applies to:
BUG# NT: 11590 (6.00)

SYMPTOMS

When you perform an unattended installation of Microsoft SQL Server version 6.0, the Setup Initialization File allows you to specify an alternate pipe in the [Network] section. However, after the Setup program completes successfully, SQL Server will be still listening on the default pipe.


CAUSE

During setup, SQL Server is configured to always listen on the default pipe. The default pipe is \\.\PIPE\SQL\QUERY.


WORKAROUND

Specify the default pipe in the Setup Initialization File in the [Network] section. After installation, configure SQL Server to listen on an alternate pipe by going through SQL setup and changing network support option.


STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft SQL Server version 6.0. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.


MORE INFORMATION

For more information about writing the Setup Initialization File refer to Knowledge Base article Q136491.
