I am trying to install and run Ghost Solution Suite 3.3 RU3 on a Windows Server 2012 R2 operating system.
The image of my OS already has 2005 SQL Express. It is my understanding that this version of ghost requires SQL 2014 Express. I install SQL 2014 Express after uninstalling 2005 and then I install GSS console. I am able to install everything with no errors. However when I go to open the GSS Console using the desktop icon i continuosly receive the same error message
"Unable to connect to the Symantec Ghost Solution Suite Server DB Management Service. Please ensure this service is started and running currently."
This service does not exist however there is a service called Altiris Deployment DB Management.
I have looked into this issue on multiple sites and basically have tried everything suggested but ultimately get the same error message everytime. Is there something I am doing wrong in the installation? IS it a problem with SQL?
The worst part is I had this working at one point but then went to recreate the process and I cannot get passed this point.
