2000A by default doesn't have any network protocols enabled. This is from the readme: 1. If the SQL Server client tools are installed on the computer, open the Microsoft SQL Server program group, and then start the Server Network utility. If the SQL Server client utilities are not installed, run the Svrnetcn.exe file that is in the SQL Server Tools\Binn folder. Generally, the reason the SQL Server client utilities are not installed on a computer is that the computer is only running instances of MSDE 2000 that do not give the user a license to use the SQL Server client utilities. Also SQL authentication by default isn't turned on either, so you will have to install the client tools from a SQL server CD and that will give you Enterprise Manager to go through and turned mixed authentications on.

I have two Citrix PS4 A servers on Win2K SP4. For a app update it required MSDE to be installed. After installing MSDE 2000A my IMA service won't start and I receive the follow events. It looks like it can't connect to the database but how to I re-establish the connection?
