Client Management Suite

I just did a fresh install of the DS because I was getting this message before when trying to open express.exe or the Deployment Console.  "There are no Database management Services registered.  Please make sure the Deployment Server Database Management Service is running."  Before doing a fresh install I was at least able to use the web console.  So I tried uninstalling everything, and then reinstalling what I needed using the custom install.  Previously I did not care if express.exe worked, but then it was decided to use this server as a backup for our main DS server (I was in the process of migrating clients to the other DS which is why the web console was all I needed). 

Now nothing works.  I am using a DS 6.9 SP1 install and an external SQL server.  As far as I know I am setting everything up correctly, pointing it to the correct server, using the correct username/pw during setup and what not... Services are all running without problems as far as I can tell.  I am running out of ideas, and I hate calling support because I tend to spend 4+ hours working on DS problems.  Any ideas are much appriciated. 

Make sure you have rights to the remote SQL server.  In the past I had and issue connecting but no the errors you are describing.

That was kind of it.  I was using a user to connect to the sql that had rights but I was rdp'ed in as myself.  I had to rdp in as that user and do the install, although both users should have had the same rights.  Anyways, its working, thanks for the help.

Hi What is RDP?

So what would cause this to suddenly stop working after a server reboot when it was working fine before the reboot and no install was done?
