Question : WSUS installation on Sql server

Hi,

I am installing wsus on a windows 2003 x 64 server called server02
I also have a server01 which runs mssql 2008 standard.

When I install wsus everything goes fine. When I put server02 as remote db server it says ok.

A few seconds after the installation wizard closes the follow popup occurs.

"An error occurred when trying to preform a database operation, and the wizard must be closed.  You may restart the WSUS Server Configuration Wizard from the Options page in the WSUS 3.0 console." See Attachement A

I then launch the WSUS management console, and it is not connected to the server (NEO), so I click on connect to server, type NEO in the server block and use the drop down to select port specified during the installation.  When I click ok I get the following error.

'Cannot connect to 'server02'. SQL server may not be running on the server.

Here are the step I have taken to try and resolve the problem  Unsuccessfully

Registered SPN for the SQL instance - http://support.microsoft.com/kb/909801
The best I've tried.

I also found this:
http://www.experts-exchange.com/Microsoft/Development/MS-SQL-Server/SQL-Server-2005/Q_23845370.html

It is exactly my problem but I ain't so advanced user so the solution seems complicated.

Anonymous (Last update 10/22/2008):
After migrating WSUS 3.0 SP1 database form Internal Database to SQL 2005 instance installed on the same server you can get the following error: Login failed for user "NT AUTHORITY\NETWORK SERVICE". [CLIENT: ]. This problem may appear because the NT AUTHORITY\NETWORK SERVICE account does not have login permissions to master database in the SQL 2005 instance. Add the NT AUTHORITY\NETWORK SERVICE account to the master database permissions list, restart the SQL server, restart the IIS service, and then restart the Update Services service.
