Hey Listeners I'm trying to help a friend... no, really it is a friend, not me in need of the help here :)
She's restored the MS SQL DB while running a routine DR process check but now cannot seem to start the ARS Service. She can confirm that ARAdmin is dbo and user on the system and that she can connect to sql fine, but not via the remedy services. The arerror.log file shows the below errors, which all indicate that there are problems with the network connection to the DB that the ARS cannot see. Any ideas? Regards Mel *arerror.log extract:* Sun Feb 18 16:13:51 2007 390600 : Failure while trying to connect to the SQL database.
