Hi Cherie thanks for responding although I have just managed to get it
going by installing into a temporary farm and then using CHFARM to
change it. worked a treat..

 

I believe the problem lies with the fact that we have a different SQL
admin account to the MF Servers' admin account

 

I had the option to change it when using CHFARM but no option for this
during install

Hi Nick

 

Is there any network delay connecting to your DS?

 

You can install Citrix with a local DB and then move to the SQL DS
after.

 

If you are using SQL 2000 ensure you are using MDAC2.8.

 

If you want more details, let me know.

 

Cheers

 

Cherie Kelly

Hi all

I am trying to join a second server to our farm of one. The current
server in the farm utilizes a MS SQL database on a large DB server for
the farm info rather than a local Access DB

 

It has been working successfully without problem for around 6 months

 

However when attempting to join the new server during installation,
immediately after I test the data source correctly and write (or
replace) the dsn file, a message popup states that it cannot get (or
retrieve) the farm name, to which I hit OK and the installation
terminates prematurely.

 

I can install with out a problem if I create a new farm but this is not
really much use to me, 

 

Any ideas on how to fix this would be greatly appreciated

 

Perhaps It might be easier to install metaframe with the access and then
migrate it into the original farm later.. I don't know

 

Is it because I am running SP4 perhaps??

 

New machine = Win2k SP4 with MF XPa FR3

Original = Win2k SP3 with XPa FR3

 

Thanks Nick
