EV6SP3 with SQL2005

[Wilson_Chong]

Hi,
Recently we just deployed one EV6SP3 with SQL2005. The EV and SQL running in same machine. Every time we reboot the server, the EV Directory service always cannot startup, complains cannot connect to SQL. After look into the event log, looks like the SQL take longer time to fully startup. Because after that, if start the EV Directory service manually, everythings is working fine. So did anybody encounter the same issue and any solutions to this. Thanks.

Regards,
Wilson

Wilson,
Split off the sql from the EV server. It's going to make your EV server perform like a dog, and give you no end of trouble.

you can actually make EV services depend on MSSQL services...there's a MS article on this.
Still, split if you can....
