Hello,

We are trying to install and configure WSUS on a server that has SQL
Server on it. We do not want to use the SQL server instance so we
wanted to install MSDE for the WSUS. We are receiving an error when
we try to install MSDE:

A strong SA password is required for security reasons. Please use
SAPWD switch to supply the same.

Is this a conflict between SQL Server and the MSDE on the box? Can
they both be on there?

Thanks.

Kevin

Nevermind, I thought it was a conflict between the SQL Server instance
already there and the MSDE install, but it just required a sysadmin pw
to be set in either the ini file or on a command line switch when
running setup.

Thanks.
