I just installed Sharepoint Services on W2K3 Server used the defaults.
Created a couple of sites.

Now I wanted to look at the database (MSDE) that was installed.
I tried using Enterprise Mgr but was unsuccessful when providing the
\\servername\sharepoint_instance (MSSQL$SHAREPOINT).
Neither Windows Auth or SQL Auth worked. I am not sure what the 'sa' password.

What am I missing?

What is the default 'sa' password or admin account for this installation?

Thanks.
Tony

You have to use windows auth to connect, but you won't be able to do it
remotely as MSDE doesn't support remote connections.

And FTR, please stay out of the database as there's nothing you need to
access there via Enterprise Manager, Query Analyzer, or other tools. All
access to SharePoint information should be done via the web interface or
the API.

Bill,

Actually MSDE does support remote connections, we use it all the time. But
I guess it's the Sharepoint stuff, since I noticed there's no SQL Server
service that shows up in the Service Manager which was installed.

I will proabably ended having to move this over to a Production SQL Server
once our test site is complete.

BTW, do you know how to rename the column ID that is in the "HelpDesk"
Template?

Thanks.
Tony

Why do you want to change the ID? You can also hide this column and create
your own ID'ing column and show this

I guess I was not sure how to create an ID column that enumerates
automatically. I guess the attempts I tried required the user to enter the
value and not automatically.
I would like to create a column called Case# and have it start at a certain
value or number and increment automatically.
