Database Renaming During Installation

The following applies for when the “default” names of the K2 Databases are renamed

When installing the K2 databases and at the same time implementing a database name change, intermittent authentication issues may arise during the installation. To avoid receiving the error messages, the following configuration steps are required:

	From the SQL Server Configuration Manager
	Expand the SQL Server Network Configuration
	Select the node Protocols for MSSQLSERVER, a list of protocol names and their current status will be displayed in the right hand pane
	Enable Named Pipes
	Restart the SQL Server, and once the SQL Server restarts and is up and running the authentication issues should be resolved

The Named Pipes status is set to Disabled by default, and must be enabled manually

While infrastructure changes are required by K2, each environment is different and has its peculiarities which must be taken into account. Modifying the infrastructure could have unforeseen results if the changes are not appropriately understood or managed. Given the broad spectrum of underlying infrastructure utilized, it is recommended that a panel or committee with appropriate skill in each area concerned be assembled to outline the underlying infrastructure changes and gauge the impact of the required changes.
