sql server upgrade wizard

  • I am attempting to use the wizard to migrate a 6.5 service running on NT to a SQL2K SP2 service running on WIN2K.

    Whenever I use the wizard it fails with "The wizard was unable to connect to the admin$ share on your remote 6.5 SQL Server. Please verify that this share exists and that you have sufficient permissions to access it".

    It does exist and I can map it to the 2K box using my existing  login as I have an identical admin login on both machines.

    Can anyone please help me?

    Thanks in advance.

  • You need to make sure that the accounts the sql server is starting under on both machines has domain admin then try and use the wizard.

     

    Hope this helps...

  • I am having the same problem, SQL on both servers is starting with the same account (Administrator) and part of the same domain. But I still get the error. Help.

  • Make sure that the value for the reg key (on the NT machine)HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanServer\Paramete­rs\AutoShareServer  is 1
