WSUS 3.0 RC to RTM upgrade Tj 5/14/2007 4:39:01 PM Greetings. We're trying to install the RTM version of WSUS 3.0. Currently we are running the RC version. Setup errors at the beginning of the install and produces this message in the log: CSqlConnection::Open: Failed to open SQL connection to instance..... etc. etc. Has anyone encountered a similar problem? If so, is there a fix. Thanks. -- Thomas Sylvester Information Systems Manager Daytona Beach News-Journal

Re: WSUS 3.0 RC to RTM upgrade Tj 5/14/2007 7:22:00 PM Are you sure it's the same error? I thought the error you had was related to a backup and permissions.
