If there's no content, just delete everything including the databases and start again.
Also, spend some time and use the installer script here http://autospinstaller.codeplex.com Will help you script it and give you nice Db Names and proper prefixes :) From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Web Admin Sent: Thursday, 2 August 2012 12:43 PM To: ozMOSS Subject: Re: Re-install SP2010 with pre-existing DBs Hi Chris, There is no content (aside from previous CA settings). We hadn't even got as far as creating a web application. My question specifically refers to the SharePoint config DB. My guess is that I should delete any pre-existing DBs before proceeding?

This meant changing the host server for Central Admin. Unfortunately I received an error when trying to provision this on the specified box. I tried a repair of SP2010 but continued to get the same error, so uninstalled. I'm now re-installing but am not sure whether to use the pre-existing DB names, or start fresh. Any advice for my SQL admin?
