Hi all,

I'm building a new farm and can't seem to get around this 26013 error.

My database is on a remote Win2K3 server running sql 2000 sp4.

My PS 4 server is Win2K3sp1. The error comes up during the PS 4 install. Get 
thru the DSN config - tests OK. Then 26013 error comes up.

Have tried everything in article re: creating new database, confirming 
settings, etc...still no go.

Is the only solution to create an access db, then convert at some later point?

Also, is anyone else experiencing some "bugs" during the PS4 install? Two 
consistent issues keep coming up:
1) During DSN config, after I've selected the sql server to connect to, the 
only options are "cancel" or "Help". "Next" and "Finish" are greyed out. I have 
to go in and select it a second time to continue
2) After DSN config is complete, data store credentials are requested. When 
credentials are entered, "please enter a valid windows user account" is 
displayed. If I go "back", and go thru the DSN config again, then re-enter the 
same credentials, it continues.

Thanks for any help,

James Uhrich

wow, an article finally. I've come across this several time. The only 
way that I have been able to get around it and actually join my farm is 
to have it create a local access db during the install. after reboot, do 
a chfarm which will join but the IMA service will not start. I grab a 
copy of the mf20.dsn from a working server, change the server name in 
the dsn to the non working server name and place it on the server who's 
IMA service will not start. then the IMA starts and things are slick.
