If you are using another type of database to run SAP Business One, such as DB2 or MaxDB, press Skip.
To upgrade your MSSQL version exit this installation. Only an experienced system administrator or DBA should upgrade the database.

Hi,
As suggested earlier this seems to be a DTC related issue. It can only occur if the DTC settings are not proper or if firewalls don't allow the default ports to communicate.
Check DTC settings on both SQL and BizTalk Box and also check if MSDTC service is up and running.
Go to Start

à (type in) Dcomcnfg. You should be inside Component Services MMC.
Expand Component Services

à My Computer (right click)
à Properties
à MSDTC tab
à Security Configuration button.
Select the checkboxes as following :
Check the below article from Microsoft Support Team, they have listed all the errors which may come during setting up a new system. They also have your MSDTC error listed.

Anyone having issues connecting to the network server today?

I just upgraded to the iPhone 5. After I restored my new phone, I was unable to use iMessage. I tried to sign in, but I keep getting a message saying "unable to connect to the network server. Try again" Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!

There has to be a problem on the server side. So many times before the system status indicates there is not problem and everything is fine, but that is not always the case. I spent hours on the phone one day with the same issue and it was a waste of my time because it turned out to be a problem with the servers. It took a long time for the problem to get fixed and what I learned is that no one typically wants to admit there is a problem on the apple side and not the device/user account. The last problem took almost 24 hours to fix and what was so bad was the amount of time I wasted with technical support trying various things to try to fix what couldn't be fixed on my end. Fix the servers problem apple!

Issue connecting 1131AG - Regulatory domain check has failed for the AP

I have 2 1131AG LWAPP AP's purchased in the UK connecting to a WLC 5508 in the US that is setup only for Country US. I am getting the above error when trying to add Country GB United Kingdon I get an error that 802.11b and 802.11a are enabled and must be disabled to use this country code. I am not sure if there is a workaround for this because I do not want to disable these networks.

Here is the method to change country code:
GUI:
Step 1 Follow these steps to disable the 802.11a and 802.11b/g networks as follows:
a.          Choose Wireless> 802.11a/n > Network.
b.          Unselect the 802.11a Network Status check box.
c.          Click Apply to commit your changes.
d.          Choose Wireless > 802.11b/g/n > Network.
e.          Unselect the 802.11b/g Network Status check box.
f.          Click Apply to commit your changes.
Step 2 Choose Wireless > Country to open the Country page
Step 3 Select the check box for each country where your access points are installed. If you selected more than one check box, a message appears indicating that RRM channels and power levels are limited to common channels and power levels.
Step 4 Click OK to continue or Cancel to cancel the operation.
Step 5 Click Apply to commit your changes.
Step 6 Reenable the 802.11a and 802.11b/g networks
By CLI:
Before you can change the country code of a WLC, you must disable the 802.11a and 802.11b network :
>config 802.11a disable network
>config 802.11b disable network
Now you can change the country code of the controller. For example, we change it from US to IN (INDIA)
>config country GB
After changing the country,enable the 802.11 interfaces.
>config 802.11a enable network
>config 802.11b enable network

Cannot Send Mail "The connection to the outgoing server "(null)" failed.FYI

Had this problem for 24 hours when trying to send email from one (not all) yahoo email accounts on my iphone.
In the meantime, there were errors from yahoo about the account being disabled due to "suspicious activity."
I called both yahoo and apple tech support to report. The latter had some basic troubleshooting steps, but these did not fix the problem:
1. remove message from outbox (so it does not keep attempting to send the "Unsent message")
2. turn off all email accounts in Settings>Mail.
3. Delete the problematic account in Settings>Mail.
About a day later (today) regular service resumed and I am able to send emails from this account without problems.

Sounds like this was a Yahoo problem.

IPhone message. "Cannot Send Mail" "The connection to the outgoing server.

It states:
"Cannot Send Mail" "The connection to the outgoing server "(null)" failed."
This is the error I get attempting to send Yahoo mail using EDGE network on at&t.
I would guess that only 2-3 emails out of every 10 go through. The rest get the above error message.
Please help if you can.
Thanks

Well, if your on ATT Yahoo. The settings are as follows, and I've had luck both sending and recieving with these settings.
Incoming Mail Server
Host Name: pop.att.yahoo.com
User Name: *****@sbcglobal.net (or whatever your ATT domain might be)
Password: Required
Outgoing Mail Server
Host Name: smtp.att.yahoo.com
User Name: ****@sbcglobal.net (or whatever your domain happens to be)
Password: Optional (I left mine blank)
Under Advanced
Deleted Messages: Remove After ? (Your Choice)
Incoming Settings
Use SSL : On
Authentication: Password
Delete from Server: Your choice
Server Port: 995
Outgoing Settings
Use SSL: On
Authentication: Password
Server Port: 465
I've taken these setting from my phone. I can't remember all the domain names for the ATT Yahoo, but I know sbcglobal is one, and I believe attglobal is another. Also to change the ports under advanced, though you shouldn't have to, simply click the port area and a keypad will come up below. You can type the port number there.

Issue With Business Objects Installation-STW00213 The Central Management Server has failed to start.

Hi,
I am in the process of installing Business Objects XI 3.1 in one of our server. While installing I am getting the error 'The Central Management Server has failed to start. Press 'retry' to attempt to start it again or 'cancel' to skip any actions dependendent on the Central Management Server. STW00213.'
I have tried re-installing the BO, and also tried installing without giving admin password. But it doesn't work. And also I ahve tried giving the passwords of database and CMS Admin without Sepcia Characters. But it also doesn't work.
If I cancel and install the BO, Server Intelligence Agent is not available in Central Management Server.
Could anyone help on this issue?
Thanks
Prakadesh

Hi Prakadesh,
Try these steps.
1. Stop and disable the service of current SIA. You can do it from start-->run services.msc. Double click the SIA service and change the status to disable.
2. Login into sqlplus and drop all the CMS tables.
3. Create a new SIA pointing to Oracle from the CCM.
4. Start the new SIA and check if all services come up and you are able to login into Manager servers.
If this does not work, check the event viewer for error messages.

Can you connect to ANYTHING at all on your network ???
If you get the message that the server could not be found you should wait for a few minutes until the diagnostics launches automatically with the FIVE yellow, green or red balls to indicate ISP, Ethernet & other status reports...

Setup cannot connect to the specified SQL Server instance

On a clean install domain member (Windows 2012), I am trying to setup System center 2012 VMM:
1. I installed the prerequisites as instructed during the pre-setup phase of the installation then rebooted the server (SQL Server 2012 was installed and services seem to be all started properly and SQL Configuration Manager starts as well).
2. After reboot, logged again with domain admin account and Windows update installed right away SP1 for SQL server 2012. Then I rebooted again.
3. Restarted the installation process and left default values. At the "Database configuration" step, I am leaving everything by default as well and I am getting error: "Setup cannot connect to the specified SQL Server instance. Ensure that
the server name..."
4. Tried different credentials, tried using port 1433 with no effect.
Am I missing something????
Thanks.
Benjilafouine

Definitely be sure to connect with the "ServerName\InstanceName,PortNumber". If you don't reference a port number it will try 1433 and then will connect via a dynamic port number. It is best in my opinion to always specify a specific port for each instance
to listen on in the SQL Server Configuration Manager so that you can open the fewest number of ports in the Windows firewall.

Hi there I am having trouble with my outlook express this is the first time it has happened it keeps telling me can't connect to the SMTP server and every password I have tried is incorrect this is for 'iCloud' very frustrating as all our phones are ok

Well I am feeling a bit silly now because that was all I had to do. In the past Workgroup Manager had always opened right up to the list of my users, I never even thought to click on that but apparently that was all that was needed.
I still am not sure how the iChat Server preferences changed themselves on me, but it is not the first time I have had weird "settings" issues with our Snow Leopard Server.
Thanks!

Internet Explorer:A Connection to the server has failed (status=12152)

I am getting "A Connection to the server has failed (status=12152)" error in my adf application when using Internet Explorer. The application is deployed on a hosted server with SSL.
This seems to happen randomly. After clicking on "OK" and the action is correctly performed again. I don't have this issue in Firefox.
There are no error messages in the server logs.
Can you please let me know how to fix this issue.
