Renamed Server - SharePoint stopped - Page 2

28-11-2007, 05:30 PM

I don't know where you found that info.

It might well be necessary to have SP2 installed on an *existing* WSS
2.0 installation before you upgrade that in site to WSS 3.0, BUT it is
perfectly possible (and normal) to install WSS 3.0 without any copy of
WSS 2.0 being on the server.

(and you did say that you installed WSS 2.0; then WSS 2.0 SP2 and then
WSS 3.0 - so it sounded as if you were installing from scratch)

When running WSS 3.0 download, it said WSS 2.0 SP2 must be present. I did try
installing WSS 3.0

I am now upto WSS 2.0 SP2 and getting the below error trying to run WSS 3.0
download. Any ideas to get WSS 3.0 past this error?

Have you tried installing WSS 3.0 before putting WSS 2.0 on the server.
I have installed WSS 3.0 dozens of times and not once has it required
WSS 2.0. If you can ,I would uninstall WSS 2.0 one more time and try
WSS 3.0 from scratch.

I have taken off WSS 2.0, that went fine. Installed WSS 3.0, that went fine.

Running the Config Wizard I get the following error:

Failed to start the database service MSSQL$Microsoft##SSEE. Repair this
product using Add / Remove Programs.

There is nothing in Add / Remove Programs!! Any ideas??

Many Thanks

Hoping I beat Jerry ...

When removing WSS 2.0 you also need to remove the built-in WMSDE that
comes with it. (Ditto WSS 3.0 and WID)

Now maybe Jerry can tell you how

Ellis, while i certainly don't mind lending a hand i,t is a reasonable
expectation that you will do some work on your own. I could give the
answer but in stead I will give you the Google query that I used and let
you find the answer. Query "how to remove Microsoft##SSEE" with out quotes.

I was searching google for some other reasons and stumbled across this post.

It's one thing to rename a server with WSS on it but you said you were running on an SBS server. Was it already installed and already a Domain COntroller with exchange running? If so you must be having some serious problems. that is totally unsupported. The only supported way to install WSS V 3 on SBS is to do a fresh side-by-side install of WSS V 3 or you will torch the SBS admin console.

Running the Config Wizard I get the following error: Failed to start the database service MSSQL$Microsoft##SSEE. Repair this product using Add / Remove Programs. There is nothing in Add / Remove Programs!! Any ideas??

Mike Walsh Guest Posts: n/a	Re: Renamed Server - SharePoint stopped Hoping I beat Jerry ... When removing WSS 2.0 you also need to remove the built-in WMSDE that comes with it. (Ditto WSS 3.0 and WID) Now maybe Jerry can tell you how Mike Walsh Ellis wrote: > I have taken off WSS 2.0, that went fine.

Jerry Rasmussen Guest Posts: n/a	Re: Renamed Server - SharePoint stopped Ellis, while i certainly don't mind lending a hand i,t is a reasonable expectation that you will do some work on your own. I could give the answer but in stead I will give you the Google query that I used and let you find the answer. Query "how to remove Microsoft##SSEE" with out quotes.

It's one thing to rename a server with WSS on it but you said you were running on an SBS server. Was it already installed and already a Domain COntroller with exchange running? If so you must be having some serious problems. that is totally unsupported. The only supported way to install WSS V 3 on SBS is to do a fresh side-by-side install of WSS V 3 or you will torch the SBS admin console.
