<![CDATA[Error applying server configuration with MS SQL 2012]]>I am getting an error connecting to the database on the "applying server configuration" step.

Windows Server 2012 Standard
Microsoft SQL Server Express 2012 x64

  • SQL Server is installed as the default instance (MSSQLSERVER).
  • I checked that Named Pipes and TCP/IP are both enabled protocols for SQL.
  • I verified that MyDomain\MyAccount is server admin on this SQL instance.  Also to verify, I connected as this user (using SQL server management studio) and created a test database.
  • The NetXMS core service is setup to run as MyDomain\MyAccount
  • I verified that SQL is allowed on the firewall

On the select database page I have this selected:

  • Microsoft SQL Server
  • mssql.ddr
  • localhost
  • create new database
  • DBA login name = *
  • DBA password =
  • Database name = netxms_db
  • DB login name = *
  • DB password =

The error message I get is "Unable to connect to database [Microsoft][SQL Server Native Client 10.0][SQL Server]Login failed for user 'MyDomain\MyAccount'."

If I change the database server from "localhost" to "MyServerNetBIOSName" I get the same message.
If I change the database server from "localhost" to "MyServerNetBIOSName\MSSQLSERVER" I get "Unable to connect to database [Microsoft][SQL Server Native Client 10.0]SQL Server Network Interfaces: Connection string is not valid [87].", but I get a similar message if I try to connect to this instance in SQL management studio. 

Any suggestions about what I am doing wrong?

Thanks
