  • Dear All,

    thanks alot.

  • Yes you can use mirroring without a domain. But you might have to set it up using TSQL.

    I remember that once you installed SP2, the wizard in SSMS won't accept a servername without domain suffix. Maybe this was fixed in SP3, but I can't check it right now.

  • i installed SQL 2005 SP3 but i can't do mirroring and i get this error.

    ------------------------------

    One or more of the server network addresses lacks a fully qualified domain name (FQDN). Specify the FQDN for each server, and click Start Mirroring again.

    The syntax for a fully-qualified TCP address is:

    TCP://.[.]:

    BUTTONS:

    OK

  • That's exactly what I remembered.

    But if you use TSQL scripts it should still work. This article should help you with it.
