SMS Database Manager Ignores Named Pipe Definition

ID: Q169558

The information in this article applies to:

• Microsoft Systems Management Server, version 1.2

SYMPTOMS

When SQL Server is configured to listen on a named pipe other than its default, the Systems Management Server Database Manager (DBCLEAN) will not be able to establish a connection, even when the named pipe definition in the registry is updated on the Systems Management Server site server. You may encounter this problem if two versions of SQL Server are installed on the server. (This is a supported configuration under SQL Server.)

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Systems Management Server version 1.2. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
