Failed to connet to the database server.  Ensure the database server exists, is a SQL server and that you have the appropriate permissions to access the server.  To diagnose the problem review the log...

Hi Steven,
 
You really need to provide more information. What version of SBS are you running? What exactly are you trying to install? Have you reviewed the event log?

Hi Steven,
 
You haven't answered all my questions. SBS with SP2 doesn't tell me if you have SBS Standard, Premium, SBS R2 etcetera. You are saying you can't install Sharepoint 3 or WSUS and fail to mention the history of what you have done when and why it failed. The event log will give you some clues as well. Which article are you following to install what?

I have also tried to reinstall WSUS 3.0 as it says in your article you should do this... But i am having the same problem... WSUS cant find the database...

Hi Steven,
 
It would help if you can tell us up to which point in the article everything is going as expected.

Hi Steven,
 
I think the amounts of installs that have failed are the problem now. As Sharepoint 3 and WSUS 3 are both working with the Embedded SQL, which most probably isn't removed. So you would have to remove all of those failed installs completely first, before you can attempt a new install.

Hi Steven,
 
Yes, you can install WSUS or Sharepoint 3 on another server.
