SharePoint_AdminContent Database

Bab posted on Friday, November 17, 2006 4:12 AM

Hi everyone,

I have just installed WSS 3.0 (SQL Server 2005)

The SharePoint_AdminContent database was created successfully but its name
is actually:

SharePoint_AdminContent_46991094-e3d7-4e55-9f71-faf0777080fb

not just SharePoint_AdminContent

Any reason why the "key" type bit has been added to the database name?
How can I change it?

Thank you

Hi Babe -SharePoint automatically generates the Central Admin site's content

Hi Babe -

SharePoint automatically generates the Central Admin site's content database
name and includes a GUID if it doesn't think the GUID-less name is available
on the SQL Server instance.  You can specify the database name yourself, but
you must run the command line version of PSConfig instead of the GUI
version.

psconfig.exe -cmd configdb -create -server SQLServerInstanceName -database
ConfigurationDatabaseName -user DOMAIN\FarmServiceAccount -password
ThePassword -admincontentdatabase AdminContentDatabaseName
