mgusset Posted September 5, 2012 Report post Posted September 5, 2012 HI ALL, THIS IS WHAT SHOWS UP: The ConfigMgr console could not connect to the ConfigMgr site database. Verify that this computer has network connectivity to the SMS Provider computer and that your user account has Remote Activation permissions on both the ConfigMgr site server and SMS Provider computers. For more information, see "How to Configure DCOM Permissions for Configuration Manager Console Connections" in ConfigMgr Help. how can i get this working again?

Jorgen Nilsson Posted September 5, 2012 Report post Posted September 5, 2012 Hi, Are you loggin on the console locally on the SCCM server itself? If so check the event viewer for errors and verify that the SCCM Executive service is running. regards, Jörgen Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jorgen Nilsson Posted September 5, 2012 Report post Posted September 5, 2012 Of course Peter, sorry for the typo that is what you get when doing many things at the same time... Are there any errors recorded in the event log? Regards, Jörgen Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter van der Woude Posted September 5, 2012 Report post Posted September 5, 2012 It's the auto-pilot that makes you write SCCM/ConfigMgr instead of SMS Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mgusset Posted September 6, 2012 Report post Posted September 6, 2012 the only service which is visible is SMS Agent Host. no error logs. this is what happend when i try to connect to the site database (which is located on the same server!) The ConfigMgr console could not connect to the ConfigMgr site database. Verify that this computer has network connectivity to the SMS Provider computer and that your user account has Remote Activation permissions on both the ConfigMgr site server and SMS Provider computers. For more information, see "How to Configure DCOM Permissions for Configuration Manager Console Connections" in ConfigMgr Help. when i start the configmgr site repair wizard( admin account),the error is: the repair wizard must be started from the site server to be repaired... the only thing i need to so is to connect to the old server,so i can migrate all the contents over....pls help!
