Groove 2007 Manager Installed on SQL Named Instance

[Ed Knapp SAIC]

Has anyone successfully installed Groove 2007 Manager using a back-end SQL
named instance datebase. I am trying to do this but the installation fails
when trying to run EXEC Gdb_Administrator_Create. The sql account has full
administrative rights.

No - I came across this same problem on another site.
GMS only supports installation on the default instance of SQL Server 2005.

In the case I had, the SQL server was only using named instances, and did
not have a default instance. We had to go back SQL server setup and create a
default instance before we could get Groove manager to install OK.

This is probably due to backwards compatibility to SQL 2000 which did not
have named instances ...

Thanks Nigel ... I will give a default instance a try today.
