After trying to install the System Center Orchestrator 2012 Beta on an Hyper-V testsystem,
I stumbled over an error in the Wizard.
While the sql server was up and running I inserted it into the field.
After selecting “Next” the wizard said: “Database connection failed”
The next steps where:
- Checking the sql server firewall
- Checking all sql services are up and running
- Ping and connection are successfull
- Access with the domain accounts where successfull
After checking all possibilities, I remebered, that the active directory computer account was recycled.
There where an Installation of the Orchestrator beta with the same computername in that active directory before.
So I decided to rejoin the computer.
Now the wizard did the installation.
Conclusion:
If you have a “Database connection failed”-error on installation, check the active directory computer object also.
Perhaps clearing the service principal name attribute will also help you out.
