I am attempting to set up a Sharepoint Server with a remote database. One of the frustrating things that is happening is that SPS, when trying to register a new server farm, cannot see the database server and is throwing a "Database Server doesn't exist" error.
It seems to be checking on Netbios, port 137, which is blocked by a firewall, per our security policies. Nothing in the SPS docs suggest that SPS should be trying to do this (access the db on 137), I have an alias set up for the server per the SPS instructions, but it doesn't seem to want to connect using 1433 as the alias suggests. Any ideas? Anyone run into this before?
