Hi Rehman,

If you are using SQL Database Check your SQL Server Authentication.

Make sure Your SQL server Authentication is

<b>"SQL Server and Windows".</b>

Then while unarchiving the Repository Give the DBMS Server Name as the name of your laptop and then give the user credentials like "Login: sa" and "Password:".

Then select the repository from the "Archive" list and Give it a suitable "Repository Name". and Click on "Finish"

Note:

In SP05 to use Windows authentication, leave the Login empty you should add "SQL SRVR Allow Windows Authentication Mode=True" in the mds.ini file

Thanks and Regards,

Hi Rehman,

Here mode may be the problem. while installing you need to select Mixed mode and select authentication as SQL Server Authentication instead of Windows Authentication.

once you selected SQL server Authentication, you need to set password for user "sa". It automatically set the given password to User "sa".

I hope If you installed SQL server by selecting the authentication as SQL server, you can solve this problem.

Hi Rehman,

Please go through the checklist if they are installed on your laptop.

1. MDM Server and MDM GUI Clients.

2. Underlying Database on your laptop.

If you are using patch 04 then i think it is password protected so while mounting the server give the required password.

But if you are using patch 05 then no need of password as Connection to the MDM Server is performed while Mounting it.

Else Just try to restart your system and check it.

Please let me know if you have any queries.

Thanks and Regards,
