how are you trying to connect to the server?
Hi beasty1711
We have sort of solved it.
We have apps that pick up the server name form the registry.
These have always worked in the past on root or instances of servers. For some reason on this site the apps seemed to ignore the instance name and connect to the root.
We tried changing the server name to IP address and this has now worked. SHould not be a big issue as this is only a test server and the eventual productive system will only have the initial install.
Still a little bizarre though :confused:
Thanks
