You need to go into SQL manager and turn on TCP/IP. I had same problem, TCP/IP wasn't enabled by default when I installed SQL. I apologize I cannot walk you thru the steps, but if you right click on list items, then properties, you should be able to find the configuration area.

Problem 1) It is not taking DB Sever name from the local system automatically, Problem 2) Hence I had to give host name, port number (1433 Default) and DB instance name. Even after supplying all the requested details I'm getting below error. ========================================================================================================================== TCP/?IP connection to the host name RAJINIKANTH using port number 1433 failed. Possible causes: Database services are not available/?running or Network configuration is not configured correctly for TCP/?IP protocol or IP or host name/? port number is incorrect. Note! AR System requires a minimum of 512 MB of RAM. However, depending on the purpose of the system, more memory might be required. Refer to the Installation Guide for details about the minimum and recommended values for memory when installing BMC Remedy Mid Tier or CMDB and ITSM applications on the same computer as the AR System server. ============================================================================================================================ Can any one let me know what need to be done to avoid this error!! Thanks in advance.
