James, had that happen with 3 or 4 of my servers (out of 20) as I was
upgrading. I wondered if I would hear about it later. As you have come
to find out, the only work around when you get this message is to have
it create a local access db and finish the install. Once that is done
and rebooted, you can run a chfarm and it will join the farm but your
IMA will not start. Take a copy of the mf20.dsn from a currently working
server and put it in place on the one that you are building. Make sure
to edit it so that the server name is correct in the dsn. You can use
notepad for that task (in case you didn't know). Once that is done,
reboot and it should come up all fine and dandy.
I have not had stability issues with the servers that experienced this
issue. I've been up for 2 months now and everything is cool.
Good luck pw
Hi Rick,************************************************
Sorry - let me clarify...
When I say remote, I mean a SQL server which is actually in a secondary data center a few hundred feet from the rest of the farm.
I'm pretty sure it's not a connectivity issue to the datastore.
Thanks,
James

Hi James, If you're getting timeouts creating the datastore, that doesn't bode well for the long term reliabilty of your remote datastore connection. I guess the best short term solution is to use MSDE installed locally (preferably not on one of your farm servers) to create the farm. You've then got the option of copying the database to somewhere else or even replicating the datastore if connectivity/bandwidth to the remote SQL system is an ongoing issue. I wouldn't waste any more time trying to do anything with the remote SQL server. Once your SQL connectivity is sorted out (MSDE?) things should work for you. regards, Rick Ulrich Mack Volante Systems ------------------------------------------------------------------------ *From:* thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx on behalf of Uhrich, James *Sent:* Tue 24/01/2006 16:31 *To:* thin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx *Subject:* [THIN] Re: KB: CTX107977 - Error 26013.

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.
