Are you out of disk space for the database? If not, the problem might be that the 
SiteProtector database size has been limited. I've had this issue on a few users. 

Open up SQL Server Enterprise Manager
Right click on the RealSecureDB (under Databases) and select Properties
Go to Data Files tab
Check to see that Restrict File Growth item is selected. If it is, you may want to 
increase the size or set it to Unrestricted.
Restart SP and all should be fine. 

Also, if you ever want to do a machine-to-machine SP swap. You can get away with it, 
if you just take the RealSecureDB with you. But you have to make sure the version you 
build on another machine has the same IP address and XPU levels.

Hi Robert!

Thank you very much for your reply. I really appreaciate it. 

The current state is that the DB is full and we can no longer work. I cannot even 
purge 10 minutes worth od data! Therefore, our plan it to do a fresh install on a 
completely new machine. Since the server is no longer useable, I do not see any 
problem with simply stopping it in it's current state and re-installing from scratch 
on a different machine (using the same name). In that case, it would seem like the 
only thing missing would be the sensor configuration and the keys. However, I am so 
this that a "newbie" knows more than I do. Therefore, I would really, really 
appreaciate some more details about what things to do and look out for when 
re-installing. Thanks!

Best Regards,

Jim Mohr

This is a VERY bad plan.  You will be in a bad situation if this is your plan.  
Registry entries must be completely hacked, on the SP Server and all of the sensors, 
Keys will be all messed up too.  Better off creating a backup, or ghost of the server, 
downing it, and then doing a fresh install.

Subject: [ISSForum] Re-installing the SiteProtector Server


Hi All!

We are going to start from scratch with the Site Protector server by first 
re-installing everything. The problem is that we cannot simply stop the other server 
then re-install it. So we are planning to install it on a completely new machine. Then 
afterwards, shut down the old server, then rename the new server. The question is what 
will happen with the ISS datenbank when we rename it??? 

The there is the issue of the keys. There is a KB article "How can I preserve my 
encryption keys when reinstalling SiteProtector?" which describes this issue, but it 
refers to Site Protector version 1. Is this still valid? 

Does anyone have some valid procedures or even tips about re-installing.

Is there anything in the documentation that describes the process of re-installing a 
server. I have looked through the KB, but only found a few references. I would really 
appreciate a shove in the right direction (or even some "hand holding"). 

Best regards and thanks to everyone for their help so far!

Jim Mohr
