Comments on: Using CRM with a SQL named instance http://kaledavis.com/2006/12/30/using-crm-with-a-sql-named-instance/ This is a blog, it goes bit bit Tue, 06 Jan 2009 05:53:56 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.5 By: Joe http://kaledavis.com/2006/12/30/using-crm-with-a-sql-named-instance/#comment-773 Joe Fri, 05 Oct 2007 15:01:58 +0000 http://kaledavis.com/2006/12/30/using-crm-with-a-sql-named-instance/#comment-773 What is really odd here is that Microsoft tells you to create the named instance when installing Small Business Server and even tells you how to change the Sharepoint install to work with the new named instance. Which means everyone who installs Small Business Server and upgrades from express to SQL 2005 per Microsoft's recommendation will have this issue but there is nothing about this on their website. How frustrating...I have spent days trying to solve this and your site was the only one I found that gave me the answer. Thanks for taking to time to correct this stupid oversight by our friends at Microsoft.

One addition thing to note is if you're planning to install CRM on a named instance from the beginning, you can add the key (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE -> SOFTWARE -> Microsoft -> MSCRM -> IgnoreChecks) before you first install and it works the same. I've done 3 installations with named instances so far and haven't ran into any issues. Thanks for posting this solution as it saved us time and money on a support incident.
