Endpoint Protection Manager Configuration Error on Windows 2008 R2 with SQL 2008 R2
I am unable to complete the Symantec EndPoint Protection Configuration Wizard due to errors:
Here are the configurations for the the last three wizard screens before the errors appear:
Database Type: Microsoft SQL Server
Create a new database
Database Server: ServerName\InstanceName
SQL Server Port: 1433
Database Name: sem5
Authentication: Windows Authentication
User: sem
Password: ***************
Confirm Password: ***************
SQL Client Folder: C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\100\Tools\Binn
Database data folder:
If I click the the Default button next to the Database data folder field, this error appears:
Failed to connect to database
If I specify a data folder C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL10_50.InstanceName\MSSQL\DATA then this error appears:
Error 11501: Unable to create the database for Symantec Enpoint Protection Manager. Please click here for more information.
I've already searched the support site and forums for resolution to these error messages. No previous posts applied or resolved the issues.
The Installation documentation (if you can call it that) equivocates on if the "user" account should already exist. I tried installing under two scenarios: account exist and account not exist. Under the account exist scenario, the sem account had local admin rights and was also a login account with sysadmin rights in the SQL Serve Management Studio.
Server Notes:
- Windows 2008 R2 with SQL 2008 R2 Installed
- Symantec_Endpoint_Protection_11.0.6_MP2_Trialware_Xplat_EN
- Workgroup (not part of a domain)
- Using Remote Desktop to connect to server (since it is in another state)
- Windows Firewall Enabled (corporate policy)
- Configured Windows Firewall to Allow SQL Exception (see http://support.microsoft.com/kb/968872 )
- Configured SQL to enable TCP/IP for InstanceName on port 1433

hi
have you installed the sql client?
Please don't forget to mark your thread solved with whatever answer helped you : ) Rafeeq
Microsoft SQL Server Native
Microsoft SQL Server Native Client 10.0 is installed when you install SQL Server 2008 R2 or the SQL Server tools. (see http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms131321.aspx)
And I installed the server tools.
Are you able to login to SQL
Are you able to login to SQL server from SEPM server using the SQL client which is present in SEPM ?
Try by using SQL authentication.....

I'm not sure if this is
I'm not sure if this is answering your question, but I can log in to the SQL Server Management using Windows Authencation. When i instlaled, SQL 2008 R2 I used Windows Authentication.
Also I don't know what you mean by:
The SQL Server and the SEPM are the same server. Also the Management Console was installed via SQL, not the SEPM. Is there another client instlaled? If so how can I access it?
To my best knowledge, SEP
To my best knowledge, SEP Manager do not support database on SQL Server 2008 R2. It should install well with SQL Server 2008 verions.
Just to be sure, may you please run a pre-install check with the SEP tool?
Please download the tool from the link below,

Seems like neither of these should prohibit a SQL connection/DB creation.
Should I attach the full data report?

It is not supported but onthe other hand I see no reason why it should not install correctly...

I've tried to connect to the console session, but haven't been able to. When I try to use TSCon.exe here is the output:

1. Please check again credentials provided when you create the database.
2. Try giving IP address instead of hostname of SQL server during installation.
3. Might be a port conflict. Maybe port 2638 on SQL server is alredy in use?

Credential are correct. Using
I am sorry, you are right
I am sorry, you are right about ports' numbers. Bu the port on SQL server is set as static, right?
Are you sure remote connection on the SQL server is enabled? The error means that the server is refusing the connection..

Remote connection wasn't
Remote connection wasn't enabled...
The "SQL Server Browser" service was disabled. So I changed the startup type to Automatic and started the service.
I also changed the Authetication Mode in the Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio for the Instance.
Restart the Instance.
Now in the setup, I can get past the problem screen and create a system administrator account.
Thanks!!!!
