    What SEP version are you using? Are you running SQL remote? Are you running replication? Please give as much detail of your environment as possible.

    BTW, this is the wrong forum, I will move this thread over to the Endpoint Protection forum for you.

    Are you able to login to SQL server by using the SQL client which is present in SEPM? Is it a fresh installtion?
