Have tried KB53306, 70691, and 53935 with no luck. I think my only other option is to rebuild the db.properties file, https://kc.mcafee.com/corporate/index?page=content&id=KB53935 anyone have steps to do that and what info I will lose in ePO if I rebuild it (policies, system tree...)

Re: rebuilding db.properties file rackroyd Nov 21, 2011 6:01 AM (in response to Isagel) db.properties is just used to provide connection details for ePO to reach the Sql server. You won't lose anything in ePO by changing https://community.mcafee.com/thread/40632?tstart=0 it - It will either allow connection...or not.The information about policies etc are all in the db itself.The one thing you won't be able to work out is the hashed password value in db.properties however. Hopefully that part remains good.And no, the password hash can't be reverse-engineered. One-way only.Most commonly the port or password is wrong.If, however, you are trying to have two ePO servers talk to the same ePO DB that is flat-out not going to work.Rgds,Rob.

Re: rebuilding db.properties file Isagel Nov 22, 2011 9:04 AM (in response to rackroyd) I've gone to test the connection in the ..core/config area of ePO and the 'sa' account connects ok, checked that the port is correct too. Know why else I may be getting the .dp properties error when trying to upgrade patches? If Iwanted to rebuild the db.properties file could I just rename the current to something else?Thanks.

Re: rebuilding db.properties file jstanley Nov 22, 2011 9:15 AM (in response to Isagel) If your ePO server is working and you can logon to the the console then their is likely nothing wrong with the db.properties file itself. Please post the entire log you got the "Setup detected an error reading the db.properties file required to continue installation.verify that this file is in the correct location" error from as it may provide more data to help pinpoint the failure.

When running the setup, it comes with an error: Error: setup detected an error reading db.properties file required to continue installation. Verify that this file is in the correct error reading the location. The EPO400-CommonSetup.Log shows an error Failed to connect to SQL Server [XXXXX] with error code [0x80004005] with the wrong server name (one character at the end is missing). I've allready set the CLICONFG TCP/IP setting and connected to the database with an account that uses only capital letters, but neither brought any help. I saw a known issue in the release notes that a servername with more than 49 characters could cause problems, but the servername is only 11 characters long.regards,jeroen 1557Views Tags: none (add) This content has been marked as final.
